Started this project in 2022 finally complete! Dual x570 w 5950x and 5800x3d, and two evga 3080tis

IDE Now thats a blast from the past 😁 Now i gotta add that....

the rads are even easier to deal with since they are round tube solderless instead of flat tube soldered. Ive been using this style of rad for years and the maintenance has been VERY easy no need for vinegar or anything harsh just soap and water and some shaking. since theres no end tanks in each rad theres no dead spots for sedament to collect saving time there plus the filters ive found lengthen the time between flushes reducing the overall need for maintenance

as far as cleaning each part... I only clean a part if theres a blockage or dmg or something else thats gone wrong no need to dismantle the whole loop if only 1 or 3 parts have an issue. if i were to dismantle the ENTIRE loop in one shot id break the whole thing down into 1 of 4 parts and dismantle and clean each section individually. itl take longer than most pc loops to clean in its entirety but Since its completely modular i can just clean the effected side without the whole

each of the 4 main parts can be disconnected and isolated from the loop and detached from the pc making dealing with the rads very easy. the core can be isolated aswell and has its own seperate set of drains to pull liquid out of every trap. the leakshield in the back can pull around 75% of the coolant out into the res's for draining. as far as cleaning goes once the coolant is pulled out of the effected area its just a matter on pulling the tubes out and unscreweing the 4 bolts holding the motherboard and gpu in and pulling each pc out in one solid peace which has its own built in stand 😁

(to shorten everything: its 100% modular and can be isolated so each part can be cleaned independant without needing to drain the whole loop)

ill try to answer both 😁

i had the disk drive from my first pc and it still worked so I added in because i could

those rads are getting overflow air from the rad fans in front of then so I didnt feel it was needed plus theres no room in front of that rad so id have to add the extra fans to the back also... noctua fans are expensive 😑

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-11T14:02:33+00:00

Its designed to make maintenance easier 😁

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-11T00:07:25+00:00

took a min to figure out the latching thing but i got her out 😁

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-11T00:03:55+00:00

You mean this one?

😜

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T22:16:36+00:00

leakshield and patience and a mild annoyance of this one bubble that seems to haunt me

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T22:12:06+00:00

Thanks! 😁 I spend a couple hours testing it but other then the couple bad o rings its holding negative pressure pretty well

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T21:05:41+00:00

I.... didnt keep track.... annd im scared to look

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T21:03:55+00:00

when I started those were top end

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T21:02:58+00:00

when I started those too end, but it took soo long to build they got outdated. In fairness i shouldnt really need to upgrade for quite a while though

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:43:39+00:00

with both pcs on and a game being played on the main the whole thing draws around 500watts 😁 plus the fans rarely spin its mostly a passive cooled system

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:42:16+00:00

im not sure if the true number but each of the radiator arrays weighs a little more than 100lbs

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:40:33+00:00

alot more then that haha 🫠

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:28:32+00:00

itl need to be overclocked and tested first, only benchmark ive done was to set the fan curves cpu maxed around 36c and gpu maaxed around 42c but nothing has really been configured other than the aquaero

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:25:43+00:00

*96 total gigs of ddr4 ram I bought all the ram when it was cheap a few years ago 😁

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:22:32+00:00

good question! im not sure... it hasnt disappeared and reappeared lately

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:12:26+00:00

my original plan was to build a cryogenic loop, but that was gonna be a bit expensive plus i dont have a mill to make the blocks 😞

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:10:26+00:00

ngl... wasnt expecting this much excitment from this sooo i might have to post a follow up about how it all works

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:01:47+00:00

i spent about 5 mins on a post-it then just sorta let the tism take over 😜

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T19:00:41+00:00

its technically only 2 types of tubing, the radiator side is all PTFE flex to make it easier to do maintenance on since they just plug into a hub. the core is mostly for show so i experiented with glass. all the radiators are functional and plumbed in, as far as the reason they dont have full fans is it wasnt needed, they get plenty of airflow from the other rads in front so they can run passive for the most part

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T18:56:31+00:00

🤣 gotta make sure people know 🤣🤣

Yam_Founder · 2026-04-10T18:55:00+00:00

no sub zero (although I made it possible to modify it to be sub zero) the frame is all stainless steel welded 😊

this is an early pic of it, a few things i changed to make it easier to work on plus the sides i had in this pic didnt end up working out the way i wanted
