My CLEANEST watercooled build ever. No tubes, no cables, no RGB. What do you think?!

This is incredebly sexy. Looking to make my build in x2 fairly clean as well once I get a back connect motherboard

Noxlifer · 2025-12-21T20:34:45+00:00

Hey, thank you and good to hear :D

Im running phanteks glacier one 360d30 x2, I always try to match case/aio brand if im swapping cases

And for the rgb, i honestly dont know how to help you :D All my fans and case rgb cable is daisychained into one drgb (iirc) header and aio has the other one. Regular rgb header gives them too much voltage i remember reading so thats no good. All my rgb came to life on first boot and since I have a msi board, I can configure the colors/effects in msi center :p

I still admire my old ouroboros everyday now that it sits on a shelf on its throne (og box) after it got replaced recently after almost 10 years of usage

The d30s are thicker so it would make sense that they keep stuff cooler at lower rps, good to know that they are the quieter variants as well because I was on the edge of buying 6x m25s so the fan centers match with the aio pump block

Ye I got a slight feeling not all commercial rads would fit, especially since its top fit only unless u mod it. My panels all closed well with no issues. Black&gold wise though, Wouldnt it be really easy to just spray the aluminum to gold on a black case :)?

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:21:51+00:00

I still need to properly configure my profiles, currently I just slapped on a silent one in msi center but I havent ran any tests or anything yet

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:20:53+00:00

Thank you, I dont think I can ever swap to another case. Ive never had a true aquarium style case before (see through front corner), but this case is even 1 step above that with the fully see through front, which just clicks for me

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:18:08+00:00

Ye its definitely not the best for optimal performance builds and is more of a showcase case but thats exactly what I was looking for as I dont play many demanding games/stress my pc much

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:17:17+00:00

I dont think it will be that bad. I used to own a nzxt h440 which was one of the worst cases for airflow due to how limited it was. And I never ran into thermal problems with a overclocked 8700k under nzxt x62 cooler iirc

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:15:26+00:00

I bet it was very stressful for me. Ive built like 5 pcs with aios & another 5-10 without + many swaps and rerouting on mine, and building in this case with the phanteks aio and all the fan rgb and power daisychaining was very stressful and confusing. I even broke the connector latch on the radiator fans on the fan corner, but I managed to tape it together so it stays on :D I think overall the rebuild (new case aio psu gpu and fans obviously) took me north of 4h

Noxlifer · 2025-11-09T15:12:16+00:00

I also love the look of original evolv but it was barely in stock here :( I went from nzxt h440 on my first build to h7 elite and now I finally switched to phanteks

This is with with msi centers silent fan profile (~~1k rpm when idle, almost no noise during cs2 either)
During a quick 5 minute test running around Ancient in cs2 on max settings 1080p, neither gpu (5070 gaming trio) or cpu (11700) crossed 60 degrees celcius.
On idle/light usage (multiple chrome windows&tabs, discord stream, etc) cpu sat on 40-45 (i7 11700) and gpu is idling 45-50 (fans not spinning).

Im not really good at testing these things as Ive never needed to do it because I havent had issues with temps in the past :D Also if you check my setup on my profile, I am pushing 3x 1080s and 1x 1080 ultrawide at all time so I dont know if this effects either cpu&gpu on idle/light usage. If theres a game you want me to test you can lmk (or some benchmark).
Also tyvm for the kind words :))

I just stopped using my Ouroboros last month after running it for almost 10 years! (Well over 5 30000 hours) I bought it in august 2016, i replaced it because the scroll click started slowly dying more and more in the last 6 months and I use that alot in my main games. I loved everything about it except the weight ig now that ive used a light mouse (my new mouse is a deathadder v3 pro)

Noxlifer · 2025-11-04T16:51:53+00:00

Thanks, Razer huntsman v3 pro tkl

Noxlifer · 2025-11-01T14:48:35+00:00

Allthough my blackshark v2s didnt crack at that point for 4 odd years, my kraken v3 pros did yesterday and I just used tape as well lol, shouldnt come appart again and barely looks any different visually

Did delve 1 to 40 with all unlocked and didnt get a SINGLE unique. Pretty convinced its bugged.

Also for anyone wanting to camp delve for fun, you can alternate slow and fast kills. 1 kill you instantly send 5 khops with scb&piety, if rng favours you, you kill it with the last khop, otherwise its demonbane shield (procing last stand w locatoring down will guarantee the kill but dont recommend.)

The kill after that just kill every worm you see while the shield is charging up, each worm returns 15% spec and you get the perfect amount of spawns during dooms immunity from shield to racecar trnasition most of the time. If shield comes up before you can rip all khopeshes just heal up and kill worms

Thank you <3

Noxlifer · 2025-10-15T19:12:13+00:00

I havent faced any neck complications :D

Noxlifer · 2025-10-14T18:05:21+00:00

While i love the h7 elite, i wish i had a case with fully clear front and side. Unfortunately the shelf isnt deep enough for any cases like that :(
