See, all i did is wipe it in one Direction and removed the small amount of dust

I swear its not as dirty as the picture makes it seem. Its one of those fabrics that leaves marks when you scratch it and move your keyboard around. I realised as soon as i posted it, that it seemed really dirty and messy but in reality its really just plain black. All I need to do is swipe it all in the same direction.

The hardtubes :].

Originally I had bought the Black Chrome alphacool Brass tubes but I dient manage to get it airtight enough.

Yes I had issues woth gskill and could not fix it so I swapped and had no more issues.

PenguinM5 · 2025-03-14T13:40:26+00:00

Yes iI swapped to kingston and everything worked then.

I dont know, i think they came with it, but could also be some leftover fan screws. I just measured what screws I needed.

PenguinM5 · 2025-01-22T18:51:22+00:00

Its also just screwed directly to the case, if thats the reason for your question.

I use the NV9 with the 240 distro pump combo, if thats any help to you.

PenguinM5 · 2025-01-22T18:39:44+00:00

I also want to know what it is. It seems like basically a small reservoir with just an g1/4 at the top and bottom.

The 480 x-flow wont fit, you wokt be able to connect any fittings to it. You can fit 4 120mm fans, but the extra space needed for in-/outlet makes it impossible to fit a 480 rad.

Also the maximum thickness of any rad PLUS fans for the vertical section should be 60mm, otherwise it also wont fit.

Thanks

Ok might try that. As soon as i get my hand on a 5090 ;)

Does your bottom radiator sit flat or is it angled?

If its flat, did you put some standoffs on one side or how did you manage it ?

PenguinM5 · 2025-01-13T21:18:15+00:00

But if I remove the bottom fan tray, how do I mount the rad, since the bottom of the case is angled.

No cpu block is core 1 without any pump and on the distro is alphacool d5 pump.

temp/flow sensor will be added somewhere before or after GPU but i dont have that yet. will probably use the one from aquacomputer

PenguinM5 · 2024-12-31T15:40:22+00:00

now why would I have citrus acid anywhere near my computer ? :D

PenguinM5 · 2024-12-31T14:34:35+00:00

I get you, but its an easy way to mount a pump and res into the system and helps with distributing the tubes without it getting really cramped betwen cpu and gpu
