It has been a long time since i had the idea to build a fully water cooled PC including PSU in an extreme small volume. So i figured out one layout, which can put all the hardware in volume of under 6L.
But the biggest problem is definitely the cooling. After watching Linus successfully cooled down a PC with 8700k and 1080 ti with a single monster 120 mm radiator, i was eager to have a try!
In this concept i use a single slim 140mm radiator (ST 30 from Alphacool) as the only heat dissipator and a pump combo as the only pump. The tubes are with 6mm inner diameter for volume reduction.
In order to show off the rgb lighting of ram, i make the ram, cpu ect. face the outside on purpose, which i can change the block to CPU air cooler someday. I choose xt140 pwm from cryorig (110 m³/h; 1,49 mmH2O) for the compact design, adequate air pressure as well as the low noise.
So i build this layout as the first attempt.
In this situation the cpu hottest core reaches 94 C during the fpu+ gpu stability test of aida 64. I an it for 20 min and just saw this crazy temp.
The gpu temp reaches 80 C and is about to hit the wall of 85 C.
And then i move the rad with fan a little far from the GPU block, the temp during test dropped dramatically.
The CPU hottest core is 86 C after 30 min test and all the lines stop increasing.
It shows that the airflow is the bottleneck.
So i will put the fan on the outside, which pull the heated air from the radiator. Hope to see any difference.
Just last week i came across the 92mm dual radiator from alphacool. It is 45mm thick. I have now a new plan to use this rad to cool both of the cpu and gpu. But i don't know if it will perform better, given the same adequate air pressure and flow as the 140 mm one.
Thanks a lot for viewing
