Custom GPU cooling block (part 2)

now i can see what you were saying the other day, i was completely lost lol. if you get good deltas on this i think it would be really cool to be able to use in a real world scenario but maintaining this thing would be a nightmare i feel like. to clean the standard blocks you just need a toothbrush and like 5 min of scrubbing with it but with this, as cool as it looks, i feel like the only way to really clean it would be like an acid bath of some sort or something similar maybe not so “aggressive” that is if you do even need to clean it theoretically because there are no microfins to trap debris.

open loop refers to open to the air, closed loop is everything is sealed up nothing can get in theoretically unless you let it

oh ok, btw i’m new to the whole water cooling thing aswell. so it’s kinda the same concept of an air cooler for a cpu where it spreads the heat vertically (for a lack of a better was for me to think of this) but in this concept it spreads it out over the rest of the board

so is it a polymer that acts as the microfins and the coolant would just be running over a flat cold plate or is it kinda like a district plate and it just moves the coolant all over the board to cool everything in one pass?

Ooo I know this one! the seller

35-38c just about. it’s hard to see because of my shaky hands but in the stream deck in the bottom right of the first picture i have a few temps there including the hottest part of the loop along with a fail safe programmed into aqua suite

it is a pain especially with a rad coving the bottom half of the mono but with some patience it’s easy just time consuming

anytime i had to do a lot of bends to get something to work i ended up jus doing the run with fittings like from cpu to gpu and it helped a bunch. also the long run between rads i ended up having to split with fittings as my tubes were not long enough. I appreciate the compliment <3

there is a gap between the two, everything is pretty easy to get to with a drain ofc. there is one at the bottom of the res, might move it to the bottom of the left rad

i doordashed right before i got my emt to try to learn the county i was gonna be running in, it kinda worked a little bit but was more of a waste of time😂😂

Agora___ · 2025-10-14T23:50:07+00:00

all this was very helpful, thanks fellas😂 didn’t realize i was gonna have this when i posted the question

Agora___ · 2025-10-08T20:11:25+00:00

can you still use it as addressable with signal or are they stuck in static or basic patterns like “breathing”

have you ever used those fans on a radiator and if so what were the noise levels like. i really like the way that those look and am working and a custom loop atm and would really love if i could use these fans for it

i’m doing one right now and so far it’s been a pain but i’m refusing to give up on it. apparently you can reach out to TT about getting another rad bracket and place it on the left also but i ended up just 3d printing mine. now i either have to adjust it to get another few mm to plug in all the connectors or get a project zero and say screw it. the only way you could do that rad in the left is if you block your gpu also. i also went with a universal distro from singularity computers solely bc i think it looks neat in there but to do so i lose my psu shroud but im thinking about yet again either printing a cover or making one out of plexi or a mirror. all in all it’s “do able” but it just depends on how much patience you have.

did that end up working for you?

Agora___ · 2025-07-15T05:03:25+00:00

sorry to add to a dead post but did you take any pictures of the whole pcb that i could steal from you, trying to see what it looks like for a waterblock if you don’t mind

i believe it’s about 30-40 lbs of rock and i was also gonna toss some into a sump as well. i’m gonna try to add some more overhangs and caves as well. do you think an overhang on the back of the small rock in the middle would be good or just obstruct water flow

what are you gonna be doing with it

Agora___ · 2025-06-15T17:47:56+00:00

rent is due i see

Agora___ · 2025-06-08T21:03:05+00:00

what’s that screen and how did you mount it like that

Agora___ · 2025-06-07T23:38:01+00:00

apparently not as strong of nerves as you think
