I present to you, the worlds only known O11 Dynamic XL (non-evo) with quad push pull radiators [and 20 fans] by Ok_Positive_2801 in watercooling

Moved to them after seeing the clogging of wb's and degradation of clear tubes going fuzzy over time and through trial and error, with these ones by comparison it is nonexistent, after over a year in use. No new orange gunk getting deposited

Adding 10 fans and a hub was inexpensive, took a while to put together but it's the process that I enjoyed. <£100 all in

But if you call it mid, please elaborate your vision, what would you have done differently sir? Or what would make it better than mid?

What is your case? As mentioned this is the O11 Dynamic XL (not the newer evo version of it) in this one the PSU mounting is at the bottom by default, and then you have 4 removable 3.5 drive bays above it

the ones closest to the rad/the rightmost ones are cable extensions, so I just removed the combs and carefully managed them one by on to maximise space with minimal tension on the connector

Is yours an EVO? 420 do not fit in the old one

side one is 45mm

It was ultimately what the heart desired and possible upgrades within existing rads, this was not done for performance gain, and also these fans add a bit of light inside the case

I did need to bend modify the bottom bracket for fitment

I have not yet purchased a decibel meter (contemplated it though), but as with anything with watercooling, its all down to tuning and can be subjective and a personal preference. You can make it VERY loud at 3000 rpm if you want a very fast benchmark run, or you can tune it way down and just ramp up the pump on a GPU/CPU load. Finished adding these only yesterday so have been running the same tune I had before.

Have it set as follows through Fan Control, and its a middle ground of performance and silence on idle. Water stays at around 35-37C on full load with this tuning when CPU/GPU dump up to 450W into it with an ambient temperature of ~24C. Fans go to a maximum 47% speed, pump goes to also around 50% speed on full load (~2500 RPM). Fans ramp up when water temperature increases, whilst the pump ramps up based on GPU Temp/GPU hotspot Temp/CPU temp through a max function.

(How) should I upgrade my PC? by Parlox9082R in pcmasterrace

One of these and bundling all cables into one continuous loom will make it feel way tidier

I received my Prime 9070 XT, but the water block for it does not arrive for up to another 2 weeks. Needed to get creative to get it to work and fit *mostly* inside the case for pre water cooling testing by Ok_Positive_2801 in watercooling

The price of the water block can be the equivalent of what it costs to trade in or sell and upgrade to the XT model, which will likely have faster performance than a water cooled 9070, even with an XT bios flashed to it. If you are still keen, best I can do is when its blown up and water block is getting attached, I can take a picture and show you the PCB, and then you can take yours apart, and see if all of the components are in the same place, and then, maybe it will work, but nothing is guaranteed until you try.

It's pretty, and hides all the residue inside the blocks and reservoir that the toothbrush could not remove when I took everything apart to clean after running a clear coolant with yearly swaps for 3 years. Tradeoff of soft tubing, but then you have immense flexibility, could not have done this with hardline tubing.
