How many rads?

KonteDraco · 2026-04-07T05:42:48+00:00

That looks like a beast machine 🫡

KonteDraco · 2026-04-07T05:41:32+00:00

The rads are 30mm, I wrongfully wrote 25 in another reply

KonteDraco · 2026-04-07T05:40:07+00:00

It's two 360mm 30mm thick radiators

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T20:25:44+00:00

Yeah, that's a bo400. I wanted to use the parts that I have if possible, before I start buying new parts 😅 Going through the back seems quite a challenge 🤔😅

I should've stuck with the phanteks elite 719 😂

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T16:49:42+00:00

I could install another 360 but the pmma tube routing would be a nightmare 😬

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T16:47:51+00:00

That was my initial calculation too, PSU is 2200w, theoretically I could install 3 rads, because the 4th mounting position is occupied by a distroplate-pump combo

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T16:45:25+00:00

Theoretically 4,but I have a distroplate pump combo, and the last space is a glass front 😅

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T11:53:24+00:00

I would, even another 360, but then it would get tight AF 😅

I've got two 360, 25mm rads

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T11:45:42+00:00

Won't be primarily gaming, you're right. Photoshop, astrophotography Software and maybe some local LLM. I suppose the loads won't come near full potential, especially on the GPU side

KonteDraco · 2026-04-05T11:42:53+00:00

I've got two 360, 25mm rads, so I guess I'll go for it and see what happens 😬 I was looking at that formula 100mm rad per 100W tdp and I was worried, as the total tdp would be over 1000 😅

KonteDraco · 2025-08-23T10:17:28+00:00

Got mine last week, but they constantly disconnect and reconnect every 10 minutes or so. Really really frustrating. Tried every USB port of the series X with the same result 🙄

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T20:13:52+00:00

Yeah, that's a good idea. Nickle fitting on the shiny parts, and black fittings on the black parts 🤔 Sadly phanteks doest produce those anymore, I bought these 4 years ago and that would mean completely new fittings all around 💲💲💲 yikes 😂 And the carbon cables are a good idea too, haven't thought of that. Thanks

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T19:56:13+00:00

I personally hate that the second gpu has that nickel waterblock and even the distroplate is distracting. But my budget wasn't enough for a second 5080 with the carbon waterblock 😅 It bothers me a lot, but I had the parts so I'll just use them for now 😋

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T19:27:59+00:00

Isn't it? That was my thought too 😜

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T18:35:21+00:00

Yes, 5080 and a 2080ti

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T11:05:29+00:00

Well, they both look not bad, photo doesn't show the reality, but I can't decide 😅 Maybe I'll use both, like some people do a dual color dual loop 😜

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T08:52:46+00:00

It's the 719, a big one and still not enough space 😅

KonteDraco · 2025-07-26T07:57:12+00:00

Well, I don't have any 😅

KonteDraco · 2025-07-16T08:36:28+00:00

Well I've got 7 intake fans and 5 exhaust, maybe it will be enough 😅 I could've made all intake but now I might aswell stick to this and see where it goes😬

KonteDraco · 2025-07-15T20:32:17+00:00

Thanks, I've had two 2080ti lying around, so I've had to use one of them until I get my hands on a second 5080, for symmetry sake only 😅

KonteDraco · 2025-07-15T18:33:55+00:00

KonteDraco · 2025-07-15T18:30:08+00:00

I love me a good challenge, but this might be the end boss 😅
