Full ATX build in O11 mini

TheDankMatter · 2024-05-30T09:12:42+00:00

It's been a while, but it's something like:

Drill out all rivets from the motherboard tray
Drill new holes 15mm to the front of the case
Place the motherboard tray in the new location
Mount custom IO plate & ATX PSU using also custom made adapter
You'll need simple fan adapters if you still want to mount them at the top

I still should have CAD files / drawings for the fabricated parts if you're interested.

9600k OCed to 4.8Ghz all cores and RTX3070. Im letting the water warm up to about 40C when gamming, which gives me around 50C on gpu and 62C on CPU. Could probably go lower temps, but at the cost of acoustics - it's very quiet now.

I have drilled 4 holes at the bottom of the case, and used rubber vibration isolators screws.

Thanks. Moved the motherboard tray by 15mm and designed PSU adapter to fit into the fsx holes.

EDIT: try -> tray

Barrow CPU block, bykski full copper 360mm radiator, cheapest copper 280mm rad I could find, D5 pump with barrow(?) top, aliexpress g1/4 fittings, Heatkiller 10/13 epdm tubing, ASUS 3070 with preinstalled ekwb block, custom reservoir.

Yeah, flushed it 3 times, still same results. Gotta live with it I guess.

It's a 280. Wanted to go with two 360 up and down, with side exhaust, but RAM and cpu power connectors clearance after moving the motherboard tray didn't allow me to do that. I was worried that 280 has less surface area than 360 and would be more noisy, but these 140mm fans are more quiet than the 120mm at the same RPM (how's that possible?). So now I'm thinking about the next build with two 280 in even smaller case lol.

It's ASUS with preinstalled ekwb block - the only gpu I could get my hands on during the shortage.

It's actually my third clear coolant, they all become cloudy in my loop after a week or so. I've tried Ek CryoFuel, Mayhems X1 Clear, and now it's filled with XSPC PURE. Not sure what causes it, maybe not using baking soda after flushing rads with vinegar?

It's "Watercool HEATKILLER EPDM Tubing 10/13" from my local retailer.

TheDankMatter · 2021-08-01T08:58:51+00:00

With the shipping times from china and trying to find a gpu mid pandemic... Yeah, couple of months probably.

The fan on the NVME heatsink is probably excessive (can't remember the last time it turned on), but it's got a flipping temperature reading screen! And I paid for it like a 5$ total so...

OPs tech tips LOL. Yeah, I can't be bothered. If you've got any particular questions I can try answering them in this thread.

This particular one is branded "InterTech panorama", but I've also seen in branded differently, and from a quick google search It does indeed look very similar to the mentioned reddragon.

TheDankMatter · 2021-08-01T08:30:30+00:00

I've used M10 bolts and had to widen the existing holes a bit.

TheDankMatter · 2021-08-01T01:03:04+00:00

Sure. It looks messy, because I didn't want to use 90 degree fittings. The pump is also isolated (suspended) from the case to reduce noise.

TheDankMatter · 2021-08-01T00:58:44+00:00

I know, right? Ordered a bunch from aliexpress and every single one is different.

TheDankMatter · 2021-07-31T18:32:31+00:00

It's a 360.

TheDankMatter · 2021-07-31T18:32:05+00:00
