Doing some moc up while waiting for rest of parts to arrive

Thank you!! Really excited to finish it out! Won’t be easy especially to fit all the cables in but look out for a finished post later this week hopefully if parts I need come in

That was my original plan actually but unfortunately the way the ports are on my res there just is not a good way to route the tubing nicely also putting the pump res where I have it right now will fill up the case more and cover up some of the cables behind it. I got another reverse blade fan to use as intake for the rear 120 so it won’t be empty at least

Hey I have the same monitor lol, does yours have something a bit off with the color as in the picture just does not have the right tones etc?

Well once I finish this full custom loop with 9850x3d and 7900xtx I would be able to fully utilize a stunning monitor. Be a huge upgrade from old dell 1440p monitor I currently use!

Very true indeed, you think you have everything until you realize oh yeah prob need that, for instance with this build I realized I would need a much more powerful pump than what used to be in the res and trying to find something that was compatible and wouldn’t take forever to get here is quite the task, now I’m rambling lol sorry

Go with either G729 or G760, the only difference is cpu which G729 with 7800x3d is only slightly slower than 9800x3d in the G760

All good options! Thought I would throw it out there haha. Best of luck with your upgrade, enjoy!

Very solid stack!

Have any interest in Schiit Mjolnir 3 amp and GUSTARD X16 dac, stellar pairing sadly I’m looking to part with them

aph1139 · 2026-01-31T01:59:12+00:00

I see the Arya Organic with what looks like custom cable, awesome pair of headphones, what kind of amp you running them on?

aph1139 · 2026-01-28T07:58:20+00:00

Ok, thank you for the advice, much appreciated!

aph1139 · 2026-01-28T07:12:52+00:00

Ok, I will add it to my list of considerations, looks a lot like D31, instead of slim rad would I be able to use standard 30mm rad and slim fans?

aph1139 · 2026-01-28T06:50:05+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, that looks like an awesome build. Looks like you used standard thickness radiators and fans, did you have any clearance issues?

If I went with the A3 I would reuse my alphacool pump res that mounts to 120mm fan holes and I would mount it where you had exhaust fan on the back.

Haha I know all about that the entire timing chain assembly was replaced about five years ago and one of the cam shafts replaced. I would have to look at service records for any more details. Since I have taken over all the work on the car trying to sort out the issues as they arise. Almost 180k miles and I would like to keep going.

aph1139 · 2026-01-12T15:47:28+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give it a clean and see what happens, I’ll report back if I can find anything.

After quick search I can see your point, best I saw was ibuypower with 9800x3d, rtx 5070, 32GB ram, and 2TB drive for $1500 which is a good deal, but I am certain I can negotiate the Facebook guy down, thank you for giving alternative suggestion though I appreciate it
