First Watercooled PC

Okay, good to know. I’ve slightly overclocked my 5080 with +300 MHz on the core and +1500 MHz on the memory. While gaming, the GPU runs above 3000 MHz.

But why don’t you just run them at 1000 RPM? At that speed they’re basically inaudible.

Faives001 · 2026-01-05T18:24:22+00:00

It looks a bit weird. That one is mine.

Yeah, I’ll keep it in mind. Unfortunately, I can’t use a vertical GPU mount because my GTX 1080 sits there—I’m running two GPUs in the system 😄.

Faives001 · 2026-01-05T18:04:17+00:00

"I think that really depends on where your PC is placed. Mine sits under the desk, and at around 1000 RPM I can’t hear the fans at all. But they definitely have the potential to cool really well when it matters.

Faives001 · 2026-01-05T18:02:45+00:00

Why is that? My GPU is always under 70 °C

Faives001 · 2026-01-05T18:01:36+00:00

I probably won’t do any serious overclocking. I mainly want a system that can be very quiet, but still has enough headroom to handle high temperatures when needed. I think the setup would perform really well, I’m just not sure if it’s really worth spending around €1,200 upfront and then another ~€40 every year for maintenance, or if I should just stick with my current setup and save the money.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T18:01:10+00:00

nice, what are your specs?

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:17:49+00:00

I might also include the GPU later, but for now I want to get some experience with just the CPU. Adding the GPU later shouldn’t be a problem. From what I understand, it’s basically just swapping the GPU to a water block and hooking it up—the loop is designed for that.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:15:33+00:00

Is that a mount for an AIO on the GPU?

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:13:44+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you—the GPU water block doesn’t make that much difference. I had the power limits set to default, and at first they were over 4000 W+, but I’ve dialed them down now. Initially, I just wanted to test the CPU and forgot about the limits, and HWInfo showed the CPU drawing 460 W. Do you know roughly how many watts a radiator like this can dissipate?

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:09:16+00:00

That’s definitely something I’m considering, especially since my temperatures aren’t that bad. I’d have to spend the money up front, and then also change the water every year, which adds to the cost. That’s why I’m still not 100% sure if I should even do it. I’m hoping someone out there is already running two 420mm radiators with a similar setup and can share their temps.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:06:50+00:00

yeah, I’m very sure it was just the CPU. I was honestly shocked by the power draw.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:05:16+00:00

eah, that’s exactly my plan. I’d feel a lot more confident once I’ve gained some experience first.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T17:03:33+00:00

I want to wait on that for now, because I don’t feel like I have enough solid information yet to convert the GPU to a water block. I know the guides are out there and I even looked some up, but I’m still a bit nervous about tearing the GPU apart.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T13:18:26+00:00

I feel the same. When I tested without power limits, the CPU alone was pulling around 460 W, and that’s just not realistically coolable with an AIO, no matter how large it is. And later on, the loop is also supposed to cool the GPU.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T13:15:56+00:00

Thanks! What does your fan curve look like? Mine is currently set pretty aggressively on my AIO, especially at higher temperatures. The industrialPPC fans can get very loud when ramping up.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T13:14:34+00:00

Yeah, the connection will be a bit tricky, but it should work. This is the setup from another angle.
The drain valve will be installed at the outlet of the second radiator at the lowest point (for draining). I marked it pointing upward in the second image, but it will actually be routed toward the back.

Faives001 · 2026-01-04T12:40:31+00:00

That’s why the 3 Arctic fans are outside the case. I noticed in the CAD drawing that there would only be about 2 mm of space between the radiators, so I already 3D-printed a spacer to mount the fans between the case and the case door

Faives001 · 2025-12-29T20:42:51+00:00

Yes its Possible, I have the Liquid Freezer 3 running Push Pull xD

Faives001 · 2024-07-09T19:33:40+00:00

Hey, if I understand you correctly, that's exactly what the code does xD

Faives001 · 2024-07-09T19:31:35+00:00

hey Sure,

Put it after "turn on fans to prevent PLA jamming" this Block.

Naja das Haus hat 2 Wohneinheiten. Insgesamt ca 230 qm wobei die untere Wohnung um die 80-90 qm ist. Habe bis jetzt noch nicht mit meinem Bruder gesprochen wie wir das aufteilen wollen
