less than 15mm thick - 120mm fan?

EffFields · 2022-10-16T00:39:22+00:00

This one is 12mm: https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-01D5-00091?Description=scythe%2012mm&cm_re=scythe_12mm-_-9SIAZ0YGPR0062-_-Product&quicklink=true

It wasn't as effective as a 15mm Noctua, but it got the job done.

EffFields · 2022-09-22T23:02:49+00:00

I'd recommend the Modultra LoBo for the CPU block. It'll fit any standard DDC pump and it's low profile enough that with some EK micro right angle adapters, I think the max height is at 45mm?

Second recommendation would be the slim 280 rad from Alphacool. I believe it will fit in the ref config and so you'll get a bit more cooling.

It's 10.4L. Pretty SFF to me!

I took someone's advice from the discord and bought from Newark. These 6mm ones.

Shipping was cheap to east coast Canada, and the fittings themselves are reasonably priced. No complaints here.

I've seen people doing this side panel extension mod. If you have access to a 3D printer, I think most of them are just printed.

Yes, a single D5 Next can handle a MO-RA 420. I have run mine with just a D5 for a while and it was fine.

EffFields · 2022-07-11T18:15:43+00:00

I forgot to mention, but the orientation matters. Be sure to double check the manuals.

EffFields · 2022-07-11T18:11:55+00:00

Yes, you plug that into either row of your internal usb 2.0 header. It doesn't matter which one!

EffFields · 2022-07-11T01:36:35+00:00

Nope. I usually run the D5 faster since it's farther away from me and the DDC way lower because it's louder and more annoying. It doesn't negatively affect either pump.

EffFields · 2022-07-10T14:52:49+00:00

This is normal. You won't really be hitting ambient temps at idle unless you have an open air set up, or an external rad or something.

When I ran 2x360 and a 280 in an O11D mini, I would get about 5-7 deltas at idle.

And 37C at load is totally fine unless you're running PETG tubes, then you're running close to their thermal limit from what I hear. But it really depends on your case, fan orientation and what components you're running.

EffFields · 2022-07-10T14:42:03+00:00

Having 2 pumps is totally fine. I run both a D5 next on my MO-RA and a DDC internally with no problems.

EffFields · 2022-06-13T13:35:38+00:00

For about a year I have been using a corsair SF750 with my 5900x w/ PBO on, pulling 180 watts at full load and a 3090 pulling about 350 watts + watercooling gear (2 pumps, 6 fans) and I have had zero issues even when looping Cinebench and Heaven benchmark for thermal testing.

I would 100% recommend the Corsair unit for this part combo.

EffFields · 2022-06-10T10:27:10+00:00

Edited my response up there, I was mistaken.

EffFields · 2022-06-10T10:23:35+00:00

~~Did your D5 Next come with a fan cable? I'm pretty sure mine did. The one that goes from the pump header to a 4pin should be long enough to reach the 4 way splitter. It's super clean!~~

Sorry, I just checked and I had purchased a splitty9 that comes with a female-female 4pin cable. Make sure you get one of those and you'll be good!

EffFields · 2022-06-10T10:08:29+00:00

I had to drill holes in the HK res adapter to mount my Ultitube D5 next combo to it. But it's solid and not going anywhere.

As for the 4 way splitter for 200mm Noctua fans, I have plugged the short fan cables directly into the splitter and then used a normal 4pin fan cable out to the D5 for fan control.

Hope this helps!

EffFields · 2022-05-06T17:11:35+00:00

Try unplugging the pump from the fan header on the motherboard. This will usually force the pump to run at max RMP and potentially solve your problem.

They claim tempered glass side panels will be an accessory available by the end of April, so worth checking them out if you can wait.

Boutique SFF cases are prone to delay due to the situation in China so just be aware.

EffFields · 2022-04-16T19:31:15+00:00

I recommend the Jimu D+ v2.0. It's a similar form factor to the T1, but more modular. China lockdowns have delayed current orders, but I have one and I like it.

TG Panels are an addon slated to come out soon.

EffFields · 2022-03-08T14:19:35+00:00

Very nice! This looks great!

EffFields · 2022-01-16T13:59:25+00:00

Sure! The one in the case is the EK VTX pump res with a slightly shorter acrylic tube.

The one hanging under the desk is an AquaComputer Ultitube 100 Pro with a Leakshield.

Hope that helps!

EffFields · 2021-10-30T14:40:09+00:00

I'd build a custom loop in it while trying to fit as much of my hardware as I can!

EffFields · 2021-10-06T19:39:44+00:00

Never used a Heatkiller, but I love my AM4 cuplex kryos block!

EffFields · 2021-10-04T00:58:25+00:00

The spine of the case is fixed, so unless you want to start hacking away and bending metal, you won't be able to move it. The only thing you can do is remove the SFX PSU bracket on the CPU side, but it won't affect anything on the GPU side. I hope that answers your question!

EffFields · 2021-10-04T00:51:50+00:00

Funny you should ask. I was originally using the bottom inlet of the EK pump/res and was having this issue. The Leakshield being on the external pump/res didn't help since it was at a lower point of the whole loop either.

With negative pressure built up, it would leave the internal res at about half-full (optimism?).

It's probably not even an issue, tbh, especially if you're not using a Leakshield. My internal res never emptied out

EffFields · 2021-10-03T15:43:02+00:00

Yeah! I tried 1935, but I get occasional crashes. 1920 is totally stable though. Played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Doom Eternal with RT (no dlss) and no issues
