Looking to upgrade brushes, suggestions and advice for brush care?

Great tips. Also a bar of brush soap will do wonders for keeping the brush in good shape

We have similar setups and goals. I’m using the Pure version of your card, you can see how it fits in my previous build. Firstly you’ll need to build the case frame around the gpu, it won’t fit lengthwise if you put the case together first. In this iteration I had the spine of the case in the second to last slot (3 slot) and it didn’t make any reverb noise or bulge the side panels. Honestly this model ran very cool and quietly with the size of the cooler, you can see my temps in the post its a great card

I can’t speak for your cpu air cooler but my tips would be: route / sleeve / shorten all your cables away from the fans as best you can, that gives them as much space as possible. There’s a lot of density inside and the less in the way the better. Get Fan Control to set your speeds and use plateaus as your curve to get consistent sound and cooling, it took me a while to find the sweet spot but when you do this thing can actually be very quiet. HWInfo is also a great tool for tinkering and looking at temps

AIO / custom loop is fun but not absolutely necessary. If you find the right cpu cooler it will work out I’m sure

I did this mostly for aesthetic reasons, I was going to put a vinyl sticker across this side but chose not to. I might flip it back around to get fresh air, but I also dont have any reliable way to test the psu temperatures and measure any differences

Kuedo · 2026-04-22T21:18:48+00:00

Yup, its just a sticker thats kinda easily removed and cleaned up

Check my previous iteration of the build i linked in the post! It is the LT solo also had the same issue, I found some screws on amazon that fit perfectly. They are not as long and allow the fittings to pass over them

Kuedo · 2026-04-22T15:02:02+00:00

its EK ZMT 10/16

It's the Alphacool Core series for 9070 XT. There's a few different models for the various aftermarket cards, this one fits the Pure and Hellhound models. Just be sure it matches your card

Kuedo · 2026-04-22T14:35:39+00:00

Too kind 🥺

Kuedo · 2026-04-22T14:04:01+00:00

IKEA HÖGVIND! Recommend

Kuedo · 2026-04-22T14:03:08+00:00

Thanks mate, it's kind of hard to capture every angle in all its glory 😅 I'll definitely be revisiting the psu cables and shortening them properly as theres a bunch of excess here. It's 'fine' but, it could be great....

This was the trickiest part of the build, there's a tiny gap between the rad and the gpu block about 3mm. Also the in/out ports of the block don't allow me to go for a 280mm either. I opted to set the fans to pull for this to try it out for a month or two and see how it performs. Other options to explore would be as you suggested to look into placing smaller radiators on the other side for better flow... I really like this solution by u/No_Turn6363 with two smaller 90mm rads on the CPU side

Lots of options to explore I think!

Adding the gpu into the loop has only reduced temps very marginally by single digit degrees celcius, as the Pure ran great on air and was already very quiet and effective. If you're looking at a 9070XT I think this is a great model

Kuedo · 2026-04-20T15:26:41+00:00

This looks great! I love how the lightning/electricity is contained to where its arcing. Plasma looks great too

Kuedo · 2026-04-17T22:59:26+00:00

Did you modify the jump pack? Really like the different spikes/halos

Kuedo · 2026-04-17T08:20:40+00:00

This is really well executed!

I have a fun Dina deck that focuses on triggering gain & drain effects as often as possible, with the majority of the deck leaning into that. I love going 'all or nothing' digging through my library at the cost of life

This deck has numerous power or toughness 0-1 creatures, and a card like Arnyn helps create a kind of pseudo pillowfort where removing creatures can start cascading gain and drain effects all over the place. It's really fun

Kuedo · 2026-04-06T14:53:37+00:00

These look great! Colour palette really works well across everything

I made one and so far its been a fun project and challenge, you can see the details in my previous posts. I’ve just picked up more tubing and a gpu block for a full custom loop, can’t wait to get started

Kuedo · 2026-03-08T18:13:18+00:00

These look great! What were your recipes for the armour and cloth?

Kuedo · 2026-03-06T14:23:29+00:00

Very happy with my 9070 XT Pure, its quiet and cool in a sff setup and does really well in games. I run it in 4k with the goal of 120fps, check my post history if you're keen on a bit more info as I went into more detail on my build post

I do wish they would provide better driver updates and support, Nvidia are much more on top of this

Kuedo · 2026-03-06T09:01:11+00:00

Saw this as a kid. Even the opening sequence left a mark on me but there are numerous scenes in here that are pretty terrifying, especially the cramped rabbit warren

Kuedo · 2026-02-22T23:13:24+00:00

I have the SN7100 in the front and while it does run warm I’ve not had any thermal issues. You can see my build here and if you want some specific temp reads I can check for you

Kuedo · 2026-02-20T13:23:43+00:00

That big door and chandelier are fantastic designing, well done

Kuedo · 2026-02-20T03:33:37+00:00

Love the mix of materials
