Sorry for the double post, photos for reference...


Hello! I was able to make it work with. a slim fan on the AIO (Corsair h60) AND the fan slot, and some struggle cable management. (Also my PSU is a corsair SF750) Basically:
  1. Insert the AIO first
  2. Install the GPU LAST! so that you can pull cables tight to the back where there's extra slack
  3. Run all of the cables between the two aio tubes so that the tube pushes the cables *inside* the case
  4. If cables have extra slack (i.e. Motherboard connector), pull the entire cable to the back of the case (GPU side) before inserting the PSU.
  5. When inserting the PSU, make sure all cables are bent to point *inside* the case
  6. Pull all cables with extra length towards the GPU side after inserting the PSU to make sure they don't fall in the fan blades
  7. Use velcro ties if needed to hold them in place
Basically you need right angles off the PSU for every cable. You need to pull all the cables tight where possible to maintain that 90 degree bend. By using dual slim fans, you can wedge the AIO tubes between the RAM and the fan and hold all the cables in place with the AIO tubes.

AIO cables holding in the CPU power cables and pump/fan cables

PSU and bending of cables to make it work

GPU side and extra slack being held in the mobo power cable

My take on your scenario: You need a slim fan as well above the radiator and then spend a lot of tie bending the cables correctly. You need to route the cables *between* your tubes, not behind them. Could you make this work with the regular-sized fan? Maybe. Is it worth the hassle? Probably not.

Guys
I just have no idea how this cable management is supposed to work out with a liquid cooler. Feels like I cannot support the fan, even if it was smaller. But regardless, the tubes just don't want to curve around the RAM and there's so much power cable I could choke.

Any suggestions?
Custom cables. I got mine from pslate

Flipping the PSU upside down, installing the 120x25mm fan AFTER inserting the AIO helped me install a Corsair H55. H60 is harder because of the tubing but should work?

You also have to flatten the cables as much as possible :)

So if steel is so small, wouldn't that mean I would be expecting an email regarding shipment within the next two days if all things go according to plan? I'm in batch 1 and the order is #13XX for steel going to Canada. Who else got steel?

Unfortunately not because:
  • Steel production is waiting for backup fasteners to arrive in order to be completed (I explained this a couple of times if you check a page or two back)
  • Once backup fasteners arrive it will take 1-2 days to finish
  • Other than US, CA, JP, CN, TW and HK we still need to wait for UPS reply regarding AU, KR and EU.

I like this scene the most.

A full gear porn.

It's like Iron Man 1 suit scene.

When can I buy the aio with the Thorzone logo printed on it? Will it be considered with the gen4 card after the delivery is completed?

PRESENTING — THE DOCK
- Vertical MJOLNIR stand
- USB-C
- Front power button

Not sure which two-tone is best for Stealth, Dark and Steel respectively so feel free to let me know. Also tested have it as 1-tone but that looked really boring.

That's even better that what i would have ever imagined :eek: Is it on the front side or AIO side?

@AlexTzone Looks nice, Will the USB-C port being in the valley impose any restriction on the device side whether it can actually slot in between the two shoulders? Is there a way the port to be on the actual vertical base, perhaps flush with the surface so that it isn't too intrusive either?

Also would like to see the 180 degree rotation to see what you have in mind for cable management.

Lastly, steel looks best with either :p but perhaps the darkest one looks nice?

I think it would be cool if the rgb shines slightly through the gap in the connection.






It may be a disadvantageous structure for the Blower design graphic card.

Please consider the shortcomings of the design that completely covers the lower part.


You can refer to the great design in the futuristic furniture.


The current design may vary in color depending on the batch.

Consider neutral designs such as chrome feet.





Or we should study neutral color combinations that don't matter about batch.


Producing a single unified color would lower unit cost and increase feasibility.






I hope you don't get hung up on usb ports.

Most people will need more than one port.

Those who need ports will use hubs, and external ports can interfere with minimalism.



Anyway, I'm glad you guys keep trying new upgrades.

My wallet will be with you.

And some ideas.

The thorzone thing could be a sticker - he can just sell the decal - I would buy

Question: for those who bought the booster cell - how is this configured?
