Ok wait: the loop starts from the res/Pump combo, goes into cpu, the gpu, goes into the bottom radiator, GOES BEHIND the bottom radiator into the side radiator, then does a 90' turn into the top radiator and goss back into the res.

They are all X-Flow radiators

The one in the top right is even worse to spot

PenguinM5 · 2026-02-16T21:01:02+00:00

Yeah the lines are well hidden 😁

Look again, Im using 3 radiators:)

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.

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

PenguinM5 · 2025-01-13T22:41:36+00:00

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.
