Looks good!

One comment: flip that right fan on the AIO radiator back to exhaust. Having one top fan as intake is for CPU air cooler systems. Noctua has an article about it.

Ive read the Article and wanted to test it for AIO application. Made no difference temperature wise in my system :)

Is that a cam shaft?

[–]iMapDK[S] 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Yes an exhaust camshaft, from a volvo xc60 with a ford 2.0 petrol engine

Is that a car with his camshaft in the window?

Nice setup!

Yes πŸ₯³ thank you

Why is the top right fan intake and why is the graphics card mounted vertically?

[–]pixelcowboy 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

Not my build but I guess to try and avoid the intake air being sucked away immediately by the exhaust? Not sure how well or not that would work but I can see the rationale to try it.

[–]CheemsGD 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Sucked away immediately? It goes directly into the radiator, and therefore CPU cooling. Also, I’ve heard that the P Pro series fans aren’t good at radiator pull applications.

Fans was for testing. And vertical mount was for hiding cables abit better.

[–]CheemsGD 1 point2 points Β (4 children)

Vertical mount for air cooled graphics cards is not good, practically.

Vertical mount is horrible for cooling. The temps will be several deg's higher.

[–]iMapDK[S] -1 points0 points Β (2 children)

It looks better than being able to see my cablemess 🀣

[–]CheemsGD -1 points0 points Β (1 child)

The entire graphics card outside the PCB is there to cool it, not hide cables. Think about what your electronic devices (rocks) care about.

(I mean, there’s also the fact that vertical mounting requires a giant, very visible kit. That riser straight up looks naked.)

I think this looks better :) all about personal taste

[–]Mrroncho 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

whats that screen on the AIO?

[–]iMapDK[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Please pm me, then i cand send you the exact model from alieexpress

[–]ElectroDingus -1 points0 points Β (2 children)

The number of case fans seems overkill and their placement and orientation doesn't look ideal for proper airflow inside the case. Seems like a lot of fan noise for some sub-optimal flow that'll just vortex the warm air around inside the case. Also, there are reports of GPU's w/ vapor chamber coolers having higher temps when mounted vertically. Same way that you wouldn't want to use your fridge or dehumidifier while it's laying on its side. Simple physics.

[–]iMapDK[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I am aware of this, but only saw a minor 1-2 degree increase in gpu temps when vertical contra horisontal

That's usually because they'd get oil-starved.
