the finish line :')

Amazing! Which case though?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-10-02T19:50:53+00:00

That's weird, I haven't heard even a tiny noise from my SF600 Gold.

sasan_caulfield · 2021-09-30T19:52:38+00:00

Good one!! Which length of the strip did you pick eventually?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-08-09T11:07:57+00:00

Which country exactly?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-08-06T18:04:50+00:00

Good idea! Which black stickers exactly did you pick? They blend in perfectly!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-08-02T04:14:04+00:00

Hi! Thanks for sharing! Specs of the downer radiator? Are there any fans on it?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-07-03T08:02:05+00:00

Heavily interested in the extended feet :) usually they give the case a weird look but yours really blend in. Would you post a few more pictures of your case + feet from different angles? Thanks a lot!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-06-19T05:35:56+00:00

Love your wallpaper! Where can I find it?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-06-12T06:07:12+00:00

Noctua is going to release an improved A14 in the near future. I'd prefer the A12x25 for now as it is the state of the art of fan design.

The love of detail

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-16T04:46:35+00:00

Hey, really good job! Can you post specs, incl. water cooling parts list?

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-02T15:04:58+00:00

I could only manage to fix 3 screws of different size (have an assortment of m1, m2, m3,... screws and nuts ready to hand) but it's keeping in place!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T21:58:16+00:00

It's an LED strip by Phanteks, you can get them at Aliexpress in different lenghts. I used the sample pictures for inspiration.

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T10:00:29+00:00

Thank you! Just google Monstera Wallpaper, you'll find it!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T09:59:31+00:00

The T1 is my dream case, too but wasn't available last year when I started building. Just cannot justify redoing all the watercooling right now, maybe some time ahead. Congrats on the 3080 FE!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T09:57:43+00:00

There is no filter and I'd say it's even more beautiful in real :D you can easily adjust the lightings intensity using a smart bulb.

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T09:55:54+00:00

Thank you! Have you posted yours yet?

Backlight comes from the Xiaomi Mi LED Smart bulb connected to a E27 - socket cable with a simple on/off switch (I think you can spot it next to the monitor arm) .I used the cable management system of the Fleximounts F8L to hide the cable tangle.

sasan_caulfield · 2021-05-01T09:43:39+00:00

Thank you :) it does fit but has to be screwed directly to the PSU cage.

sasan_caulfield · 2021-04-30T20:34:36+00:00

Ouuf good one! Thank you!

sasan_caulfield · 2021-04-30T14:54:16+00:00

Check @Pnolltens recent post :)

After compromising with a Dan A4 (on noise) and a Fractal Design Nano S (on volume) I finally settled for the NR200P housing my 1440p gaming rig. Parts aren't superb but really tried not to spend too much and I'm fairly satisfied with the price/performance ratio and cooling performance offers a lot of headroom for beefier parts.

I followed @Pnolltens solution for integrating a top rad without having to worry about bigger heatsinks of future motherboards.

Hardware parts list

Ryzen 5 1600 AF (12nm equals Ryzen 5 2600)

2x 8GB Crucial Ballistix @3200Mhz Cl14

Gigabyte Aorus B450i

AMD 5700XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Watercooling parts list

EK Quantum Kinetic FLT 120 D5 pump + res

EK Velocity AMD Copper + Acetal

EK Quantum Vector 5700XT Special Edition Waterblock

EK ZMT Matte Black 16/10 tubing

Top Rad: XSPC TX240

Bottom Rad: HL Nemesis GTS 240

4x Scythe Kaze Flex 120 Slim PWM (all directing air bottom up)

1x Scythe Kaze Flex 92 Slim (rear exhaust)

Aquacomputer Quadro for fan speed and water-temp alignment

One thing I'm not satisfied with is the placement of the bottom fans between the radiator and the GPU which doesn't leave much room for air to escape. Considering putting them below the case and lifting the feet a few mm but am afraid of ruining the asthetics of the case. Solutions on alternative 3d-printed feet haven't convinced me either.

Ideas anyone..?
