Ncase M1 - Dual Radiator x99 Build

[AP2]

Another forum member had asked about this build, so I thought I'd post it up. I would have to say this was one my favorite builds that I have ever done. I look forward to going back to water-cooling when I received my Ghost.

Stripped case with internal reservoir and D5 pump

I originally had the HDPlex 250 installed right below the motherboard, but it got in the way of the 120MM Airplex Rad.

Relocated the HDplex and installed the Aquaero 6

EVGA GTX970 and Heatkiller backplate installed along with test fitting the plumbing.

Both Rads installed - Leakdown test

Airplex Radical 240mm Rad installed with Noctua fans

All done - Wired up and switched out all fittings to chrome Barrow fittings.

Wow nicely done. I have been waiting to see someone pull out the SFX PSU and use a HDPlex with the Ncase. Frees up so much space for a pump/reservoir.

It's too bad no one makes GPU blocks for the 10 series itx size GPUs, another thing that frees up a lot of space. Seems like the short PCB reference cards are also a thing of the past.

Curious how your thermals are with this setup, thinking pretty good.

Bitspower makes an msi aero itx 1070 block.

Those are the prettiest QDC fittings I have ever seen!

Nice I didn't even know that existed.
