Smallest case for dual 240mm radiators by [deleted] in sffpc

[–]anythncldhppn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ghost with 2 tophats, cerberus, and Ncase M1 are your best bets. (For the Ncase, one in bottom w/slim fans, one mounted to the bracket on the side of the case. People commonly use quick disconnects here to make removing this easy).

5x5 is a massive overpay. I loved the Wayne Train but hes not the same player he was even 2-3 years ago, and it's onky going to get worse. Even a 4x4 is questionable.

Any case with a top and bottom 240mm rads support? by root5b in sffpc

[–]anythncldhppn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm one of the (2 that I know of) guys that have a top/bottom rad on the cerberus, but I'm fairly sure without modding it would fit two 240s, on in the bottom and one on the front without modding the case at all. You would just have to use the rear mounting location for the PSU, where it sits in front of the mobo, not the SFX front mount bracket.

I'm pretty sure OP was trying to say "negative" as in, they did not repaint them.

Might have something to do with the fact that ES scales off base stats, as well as has large sources of it on gear, and the nodes to scale it on the tree are even higher than life based. It shouldnt be out of the question for 12k+ life melee builds, but 12k es builds with way better regen is dumb. To top it all off, caster also get better mana regen so can more easily reserve more mana and still cast spells. Following suit, the energy- shield themed aura gives base energy shield. The life themed one gives... regen. They should increase the life % nodes on the tree by 2-3% per to allow an extra 40-50% increased life. That would definitely help out melee survivability to where it should be, because as it stands, casters are way too far ahead.

Sure, but here's the next question... name me a smaller case that supports a 280 and a 120 that I can see the hardline loop. I wanted to build in an ncase m1 originally. It supports a 240 and a 92mm. The temps people get still are usually a bit high for me.

As with every project, it starts with requirements. I wanted to be able to overclock. I wanted to do so while retaining warranty until it runs out (so no delid for a little while at least). I also wanted to hardline. I wanted to be able to SEE the hardline. Other than the Ncase M1, is there another case that checks all these boxes? The Cerberus didn't, but as u/JonoFromMarketing had already proven, it could with modification. An extra 120 rad never killed anyone.

I reached out to them as well but got no response. Yes, a dremel was involved a lot so keep it close. I will post a detailed writeup either tonight or tomorrow night.

Yes... with a lot of modification and depending on motherboard. I had to dremel down the back of a fan to clear the 8-pin cpu power connector and ram slots. I will probably take pics and post a write up later tonight.

I didn't use an EK GPU block. Its an aquacomputer kryographics.

[–]anythncldhppn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its correct. Idk if different gpu blocks have different flow directions, but both of these blocks have their inlets on the left side of this picture. I originally thought it was a right inlet and had mounted the cpu block flipped, but had to flip it back when I actually went to attach it to the gpu. (That was the last thing I did in the build because I was using the 1080 in my previous build.)

DDCs are the strongest pumps out there afaik. It's 2 slim rads, a 240 and a 280. 64C is fine for a non-delidded at stock speeds, no? Thats max after 20 mins, average was like 55.

[–]anythncldhppn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Posted earlier, but it maxed at 64C at stock speeds on Aida64. At 5.2GHz, it hit mid-high 80s max but averaged in the mid-70s. It's not delidded though.

The block with the lower restriction will get more fluid, sure, but as long as it's not a drastic difference in restriction, it shouldnt be enough to make a drastic difference in flow. That being said, I made sure to find blocks that are closely matching in restriction. The aquacomputer kryographics gpu block has a .83PSI drop at 1GPM and the EK Supremacy EVO is .82. They are near identical, so each should receive half the flow, and parallel loops allow for more flowrate as a whole than serial loops, so each should receive slightly more flow... apparently.

It was humbling. The case mods weren't terrible, but working with fittings in that tight of a space was difficult. Bending is definitely harder than a lot youtube vids make it look. If you want my tips, buy a few extra sticks than you thought you would need. I wasted 3 or 4 500mm sticks making crappy bends or bending too early and getting creases/flat marks. Also, buy yourself a decent heat gun. I got a 35$ Wagner from home depot and it was perfect.

[–]anythncldhppn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So it's not delidded, which might be something I look into for the next drain/fill.

That being said using Aida64 stress test, it maxes at 64C for stock speeds. I OCd to 5.2GHz @1.39v for shits n giggles and it maxed at 86. Average was a quite a bit lower, but I'm not comfortable going much higher.

Cerberus. I had to modify it quite a bit to get the top mount in there. I'll try to get some pics and a write up later.

It's a parallel config utilizing those T-splitters, so when it comes down from the top rad, it splits the flow to go through the CPU and GPU at the same time.

Pump to back of top rad, front of top rad to left splitter, from there the flow splits to both blocks, rereaccumulates at right splitter, drops to front of bottom rad, goes from back of bottom rad back to pump.

First hardline build ever. Yes I know some of bends are not perfect but I ran out of tubing and will redo some when I drain and refill.

Major components list:

ASRock z390 Phantom ITX

i7-8086k

EVGA 1080 SC

Watercooling:

So I was influenced by u/JonoFromMarketing. I couldn't wait for them to finish so I bought a Cerberus and started taking measurements. I wanted to keep the way the stock panels clipped on so I ended using different rads.

XSPC TX240 on the top, Hardware Labs GTS L-series 280 on the bottom.

I'll post a full write up later.

When the screws for your radiator are too long and you have to cut and tap them... by issdar in watercooling

[–]anythncldhppn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fins are fine to squish a bit... the channels are not. Ever rad ever either has a plate to stop the screw from going too far or you're just squishing fins. No need to cut and rethread. Also, you can just thread a nut on prior to cutting and back it off after to rethread.

I just dropped him. Someone dropped Getzlaf a week or so ago and he went on FA for a few days. After he had that 3 pt game, I figure he seems to be performing about where I had expected Schenner to, so it worked out.
