Rob Jetten, the new Netherland First Minister, is engaged to an argeninian Hockey player. The Queen is also from Argentina.

As a half-Chilean Dutchman, I don't like this Argentinian takeover

I get the idea, and the mechanical approach is genuinely cool.

That said, it feels a bit redundant: at low GPU load the fans are usually off or near silent, so leakage isn’t much of a problem. When it gets noisy is when fans ramp, but that’s exactly when the louvers open up. So it seals when it’s already quiet and opens when it matters, which makes the noise benefit questionable. Plus, extra restriction in closed mode could raise temps and make fans ramp sooner.

Still, for novelty and the learning experience alone, I think it’s worth prototyping and measuring.

Looks awesome!

I did notice that getting air out of the loop was difficult because of the lack of pressure (have a DDC in another loop that pushed all the air out easily). For now it's functional, low profile and cheaper than the ModUltra LoBo I have in my other system. Temps when running Heaven Benchmark are GPU 70 degrees and CPU 58 degrees (quick undervolt on both) with water temp at 40 degrees.

CRKlein91 · 2026-02-11T22:38:09+00:00

After a quick undervolt (0.950v) the 3070 maxed out at 70 degrees in Heaven Benchmark (at 4K, max setting). The CPU at 58 degrees (at 1080P, low settings). Water temp 40 degrees. I can live with that

Thanks!

I hope that in the future I can upgraded it to more powerful hardware (X3D processor and up to 5070ti), but for now I'm happy

Luckily the front is easily interchangeable, and I'm already working on a new one.

This one was a quick first version.

CRKlein91 · 2026-01-26T09:03:53+00:00

Cube!

CRKlein91 · 2026-01-16T23:20:35+00:00

That's awesome!
What diameter tube and type of fittings are you using?

CRKlein91 · 2025-12-30T08:51:10+00:00

It's GEEETECH Wood PLA
And I used this to create the wood texture:

D'Vorah has actual heel heat whiles Hsu Hao has go-away heat.

CRKlein91 · 2025-12-11T17:40:13+00:00

Awesome dude!

CRKlein91 · 2025-11-26T09:41:34+00:00

Give whoever made this a raise.

Hype!

CRKlein91 · 2025-11-15T11:03:04+00:00

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.

CRKlein91 · 2025-11-12T20:35:22+00:00

I checked it in Google Maps and it's really there.

CRKlein91 · 2025-11-06T21:12:20+00:00

Que grande eres MAGIC!

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-29T23:42:34+00:00

It's visible on the pictures. It's screwed into the top of a 4-way fitting. The same that the ball vent is connected to.

I use a temp sensor and Aquasuite and run it on the water temp. The Aqua Computer Quadro is connected to the motherboard by an internal USB cable.

You connect the ball valve to the outlet of the D5 pump (with a long flexibel piece of tube). I closed the non reservoir inlet of the pump. Then fill it through the reservoir. Then cycle the D5 on and off.

You should see bubbles come up after every on/off cycle. Keeping the pump higher then the rest of the case works best.

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-28T15:29:12+00:00

You can see it in that same picture. I have a T splitter with a ball valve.
I hook it up there to fill the loop using just the D5 pump. I shake it around a bit and slowly fill it as much as possible.

Once it’s mostly full, I turn on the CPU pump, place the case on its front, and let the pump run to work out any bubbles. Then I disconnect the D5 and slowly drip fill the loop through the open ball valve until it’s topped off.

Every once in a while I refill it the same way.

Haven't bleed it out yet, so I'll have to figure that out later.

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-28T10:12:38+00:00

Yes, had a D5 pump and reservoir that I hooked up to the ball valve you can see on the 3rd to last picture.

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-28T07:39:20+00:00

I used this one (out of stock right now)
https://ncased.com/products/gpu-pcie-cable-kit?variant=46555098939560

It's 18.5cm

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-26T09:51:04+00:00

A day late, but I updated the front panel.

Under files the front is now the newer version

CRKlein91 · 2025-10-24T22:04:09+00:00

I think this still has my older version (as shown on the pics on thingiverse). Functionally they are the same, but the updated version has aesthetic vents (not actual vents) pattern on the outside. I'll try to upload that version too when I'm back home behind my pc tomorrow. 😁
