I am planning on building in a Ryzen 3000 system in the NCase M1.
My target achieving silent operation with high performance by mounting a 240mm below the GPU and another 240mm on the AiO bracket all connected with soft tubing.
I would like to use quick disconnects to be able to take out the GPU and the CPU from the loop but I can not nearly foresee yet if that will be doable with these space constraints.
The case quotes 130mm of CPU cooler height. I have to assume the outer edge of the AiO bracket mounting adheres to that. Assuming a 25mm fan, and a 25mm thick radiator I have 80mm of clearance left. As I understand the Alphacool Eisbär (Eisbaer) Solo is 68mm high but I would need space for fittings on top of the block. That would not fit. I would like for someone to confirm this maybe from experience or double check these assumptions.
Now I am looking at the Swiftech Apogee which i think I can make fit. It measures at 61.5mm , additionally fittings are side mounted which I would combine with some 90° to make it fit. Is that correct? In this review from Optimum Tech you can see that even with 90° it still extends beyond the blocks base height. Has anyone tried this or knows for a fact that it fits?
I have never tried it but I would try and go without a reservoir. The filling might be a more of a challenge but I see no space for it if I want to use the AiO bracket. I thought about going for a Phanteks Glacier R160 but even when going with a smaller CPU block I'd have no idea where to fit it and I am worried about significantly impeding airflow if I tried to mount it almost flush behind the radiator.
I think loop order will be CPU --> side-rad --> bottom-rad --> GPU --> CPU.
If I have to CPU and CPU next to each other in the loop I also only need 3 quick disconnects in total.
What do you guys think? Any parts I have overlooked, thinner radiators, smaller or better parts options. What kind of fans would you use for the bottom radiator. Its seems low profile (15mm) is the only reasonable option but already severely chocked because there will be so little clearance to the GPU
