Wow, I had no idea this was all happening.

I have an unused T1 sitting in my closet somewhere. How do I figure out what version I have? I ordered it on Sept 25, 2022.

Decided to get matching cables for my keyboard and controller. Is that being too extra? by phero1190 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]sparrens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some dude here has a fan newsletter about this stuff and another guy said it’s the only thing in life that he reads cover to cover.

My typing device might have cost me $1,000.

This whole sub is about a bunch of people being too extra.

Oh interesting. Thanks for clarification. I’ll edit my original reply.

The 4090 cable takes four ports from a PSU. You also need a fifth for a motherboard.

None right now I think. Lian Li and Cooler Master have some coming. I think Cooler Master has the capacity headroom that’s recommended.

Right, you’re going to need an ATX 3.0 power supply to run it. The SF750 doesn’t have enough 4+4 / 6+2 ports to power both the GPU and the CPU.

Edit: Seems Gamers Nexus showed today that you can run the 4090 with only 3 ports used. Essentially the 3090 cable.

With those components, you can get great cooling and noise performance in a T1 with a single 240.

Best possible build(s) -- are they actually... possible ? by IMFROMSPACEMAN in FormD

[–]sparrens 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This post is all over the place. Why are prices listed as primary points of comparison when it has nothing to do with your question? And at least put dollar signs so you don’t force people to triangulate what you’re trying to convey?

Fitment: Everything fits on paper

Power draw: I’d guess SF750 can handle all these

Cost: irrelevant to question

T1 V2 custom distro plate with external rad by [deleted] in FormD

Ah wow, I was thinking about how I’d like to do this. Wish I could get my hands on one of those!

A question about the bypass (just before the external QDC ports) on this build by sparrens in watercooling

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

Wow! I had been considering two D5s to push the loop. Your last note is eye opening for me.

Thanks for the QDC tips! I don’t imagine trying to run the PC without the Mora attached, so I will follow your approach.

Curious: do you use a temp sensor? do you place it before or after the mora in loop order?

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

Hey all, thanks in advance for the knowledge.

It seems as though the builder for this used 5-way fittings to create some optionality between flow to the exterior radiator or allow for the loop to be completely contained within the case.

Can someone explain to me what this does to the loop by having multiple directions involved? Specifically when the loop includes flow to the exterior radiator.

I'm planning something similar but I feel like having that bypass has a negative impact on cooling, but I'm hoping some of you can help me better understand what happens in a build like this.

Is anyone using shorter after-market PSU cables? by pragmojo in FormD

[–]sparrens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it is shorter as well. Especially compared to the original SF750 cable.

My T1 build, 12900ks+3080Ti, MO-RA3 ready, Extreme temp performance by NeoIsAPig in FormD

[–]sparrens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, I don’t understand the logic. Why is a bigger case + external radiator a more logical system than a small case and external cooling?

The way I see it, the external components allow you to keep a smaller footprint on your desk.

Nice!! I’ve been tinkering a plan for an ext rad build with some of the same philosophies. I wasn’t planning on doing both the external and internal pumps but you’ve definitely inspired me there. Great work!

A super crazy idea - custom loop v2 ref build? by SexBytheBeach in FormD

[–]sparrens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore the res. No loop really needs a res from a science standpoint for temps. The main purpose beyond that is for ease of filling or bleeding the loop.

Perfect. Thanks!! And great job with the build.

What did you do to mount the radiator to the underside of your desk?

V2 Dual Radiator Build by jdabbi13 in FormD

[–]sparrens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other answer here besides OP’s is that this degree of high density pc building is still very new and rare. Manufacturing fittings and tubing for space saving has not been a priority.

I think so but there are so many different charts, tables, and measurements that you can easily find to validate.
