The Chimera MachOne: For the pros. Small meets flexible.

What gear config would permit that?

I believe it would have to be a Gear 1 / ITX for dual 280 rads; Gear 1 / mATX should be able to be done as well, but with a single GPU & dual 240 rads...?

mATX with 240 rad in the front + 280 on the side

Harmony - why choose between PC and Mac when you can have both.

Gotta say, seeing the finish on that MacBook Pro really makes me want to see the same on the MachOne...!!!

We are making space gray, one problem at a time, first cooling, then compatibility, then color.

Apple doesn't have a copyright on that, do they?

No, but I will call it Cosmos Gray

@Wahaha360Also, have you done any testing with dual gpus inside the mach one? Seeing that using two gpus in that case means they will be stacked right next to each other, I'm deciding if I should go for 2x founder's edition 1080's or if I can get away with 2x zotac 1080 mini non blower style cards, for a future build of course.

I’m coordinating with 3lfk1ng now. I’m also interested in two GPU results.

This is second one I broke, man, maybe I should just stick to air cooling.

 

[PlayfulPhoenix]

@Wahaha360 you really crack me up sometimes!

Ok I'll go home now...

 

[Phuncz]

That looks like EK quality.

Well, it cracked on so many points that either the whole thing was defective or you overtightened the shit out of the screws. Try the acetal tops, they should be stronger.

Time to come back on trusty swiftech komodo and apogee drive 2?...

 

[Boil]

Time to invest in a 1/4" drive inch / pound torque wrench...?

 

[VegetableStu]

Time to...... i got nothing ._.

 

[A.wypt]

Time to flex tape it

 

[Nanook]

Time to flex tape it

only works if you smack the flex tape onto the acrylic top, in slow mo.

and while the coolant is leaking and your system is running

For dual GPU, if we were to get dual 1070 Strix, is that enough to give an idea for temp testing?

I would buy another high end GPU, but with refresh rumors in Aug, prob better to wait, but I kind of need to test now or I don’t know if I can get the case done in time.

Not really. Both the 1070 and 1080 are very power-light, so you will never be able to get a real analogy against, say, a GTX1080 TI x 2.

Maybe you should try to get something a bit older, like a GTX980 TI (x2).

 

[aquelito]

@Wahaha360 : if you need some temp testings, I can run some tests as I built a pretty similar vertical rig with two watercooled 1070.
Let me know.
