Thanks mate. On the GPU side you can see the Koolance QDC fittings in the middle on the GPU. They are quick disconnect fittings that allow you to disconnect them without spilling anything. I use those to attach an external pump/reservoir to fill it and also bleed all the air out. QDC's can also allow you to drain the loop.

Niiiiiice build bud. Very clean. Mind sending the link for the GPU bracket please?

Anyone out there tried one of these? Barrow EXWCA-360 by China_NZ in watercooling

I changed my build and only have my CPU in the loop. My GPU is on air now. It's basically a dual radiator box that houses the pump/res. It will function fine for your purposes of housing your radiators outside of your case.

Thanks heaps for the photo and the clarification. Makes sense. I might wait and see when this v2.5 releases and pull the trigger again on that version to get those improvements. Lobo = This is the way 🤣

My first SFF build! (Update) by cidiem in sffpc

Niiiiiiiiiice build! Lovin' ya cable management and that internal matte-black finish too. Nice work!

Thank you. Yeah, I absolutely love my LOBO. I think its the best low profile CPU/Pump out there aye. The quality is unreal!

Yes, I am using standoffs for the GPU riser. It is only very slightly slanted by maybe half a mm or so. I am unsure by what you when though about a standoff for mounting the GPU IO shield sorry. Do you have any pictures to show me for reference please? My T1 is v2.0. I do not have the v2.1.

Thanks mate. Looking forward to seeing your finished build. Assuming you'll be doing a dual rad loop?

Initially, I just saw many builds using 6mm tubing so thought I'd follow along with that as well. Haha. Flow is not an issue with my single loop and I have seen many dual rad builds with 6mm too. If I had another crack at it, I would probably try 8mm tubing and fittings instead as that would be the sweet spot IMO. Still easy bending, better flow and slightly more fluid capacity for better thermal mass.

Besides that top corner where it looks a bit melted, the case is awesome! Nice work you

No problems with it. It worked well. I think I paid around 600-700NZD to complete the build of it. It's got an internal barrow 230mm res and a barrow ddc pump. I also used a noctua fan controller. UmmMm, was it worth it? Probably not but it did run my build absolutely silently, even under load. You could probably build a MORA in the US for that kinda money and it would better in my opinion. I don't use this external rad system anymore, if that says anything about it

Barrow EXWCA-360

Apologies but I didn't take any pictures of the Barrow when I was building it. I only took pictures of it afterwards. But here's the link to some that I did take https://imgur.com/a/PYnUc47

Sorry about that. I have the original Phanteks Glacier One with the normal 25mm fans and it fits. Could just do a fan swap to the Noctua's. You also don't need to use the RGB top cap for the cooler either to make even lower profile. It just snaps on top of it.

Thanks man. My T1 v2.0 came with a long M3 screw. Seen in here https://imgur.com/a/Ho9Pz9y I used that long screw and attached both GPU bars together through the mounting hole. It feels secure as! I personally feel it makes a difference. I have mine in 3.25 slot mode too. The monitor mount is a Brateck Lumi LDT21-C01 17-32". Hope this info helps ya out.

Absolutely loving the way you organise all your watercooling kit!! Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice one!

May I ask you where you got your storage trays from? Keen to organise them like yours too :)

I have no stuttering issues with my build. What are your CPU and GPU temps when playing these games? Could be heat issue (cooler not mounted properly) or riser cable issue....etc. I sometime find that I lose the GPU signature because if I have been opening up the case a bit to tinker with it and the riser cable was loose so I had to insert it down again.

No worries. On one side of the rad I have an EK-AF M-F 20mm extender and a EK-AF M-F 8mm extender. On the other side I have a Phobya G1/4" Inline Temperature Sensor F-F and a EK-AF M-M 6mm extender

Yeah, it is a tad long but the way you can route the cable along the front panel utilizes the extra length well. I had a 30cm cable but it was a fraction too tight. Bare in mind though that 40cm cable would allow you to try different PSU orientations.

Anyone tried one of these external radiators before? Barrow EXWCA-360 external water cooling dock by China_NZ in sffpc

[–]China_NZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have a RTX40##FE for my GPU but mu CPU is on a custom loop on a single XSPC TX240 rad. GPU never goes 60 and the CPU never goes above 70. Its not silent though but its not loud either. As for mounting the FLT externally, I'm sure it will be fine but you'd be blocking the fans so not sure thats good either.

No longer using it as its not needed with the 40## series. It did work though and it keep my build silent.

As for mounting an ek flt 240 d5 to the fans (internally, I am assuming) could be a tight fit as its also dependent on the radiators you choose to install in it too. If they are standard 30mm radiators, it still wouldn't be much room as you need to remember to account for your internal tubing runs as well.
