The one commentary on this is that the crossflow from the fan that would normally vent through the lateral vins is going to be pretty hindered by the fan frame. Any thoughts on putting a normal VGA fan inside instead?
I never work with those fans before, but I guess they will be a better choice!The one commentary on this is that the crossflow from the fan that would normally vent through the lateral vins is going to be pretty hindered by the fan frame. Any thoughts on putting a normal VGA fan inside instead?
I will do some thermal simulation, just need some youtube tutorials nowMaybe try something less dense for this gpu heatsink? The air will move easily, it may saturate faster but you will use it with the radiator. There are gpu heatsink smaller than this doing ok. Remember it's hybrid card how much vertical room you have on the skyreach 4 mini? Just curious
Talk to Celsia's engineers. They will most defenetly help and even produce your heatsink.I will do some thermal simulation, just need some youtube tutorials now
To be honest, probably only for aesthetic But, to its credit, at least it has a mirror finish to it, in theory, should provide better heat transferIs that IHS simply aesthetic or does it somehow confer superior heat transfer?
It's just for testing purposes easier this way to add liquid and maintenance. It won't be there in the finish buildWow, this is awesome man, really! Temps are also very good.
Just one question. Why did you choose using a separate reservoir? Wouldnt be easier and smaller-size just picking a cpu/pump/res combo unit from an existing AIO, and adapt on this radiator? Just wondering, dunno if that would work.
Cheers

Ha, I'm planning on making a monoblock with a pump as well as reservoir integrated into it. It will be a bit longer than the one I'm using now and will cover the M.2 slot as well That way I can fit everything into a tight unit without wasting too much space.Nice! Just a heads up:
We are trying to do something similar in our project (but with Dual 60mm Rad), and this "cpu/pump/res combo unit" thing is being a pain in the ass. Using those is the only way we can make watercooling support fit, but it seems Asetek has a patent for it on U.S (I have to confirm it). Also, you can't buy those (at least not the low-profile ones) separetely on the market, they only come included on AIOs.
We are trying to solve this problem, so I'm curious how you gonna deal with it, or if you will just end using a separate reservoir.
Cheers
