Hi everybody!
So I was looking to actually get rid of my TJ11 because it is so big in I thought i can fit decent cooling in to smaller case.
Ist choice was Lian Li A51X with 2x thin 140mm up and 1x thick 140 in front - but it didn't work out. While playing Witcher 3 in QHD it would get realy hot inside, up to 44'C coolant temp and that made case all hot.
So 2nd choice was Corsair OBSIDIAN 450D with 360mm top and thick 140mm in front. Temps was a bit better even I couldn't use 3 tans for 360 rad because it collided with fitting from motherboard block. Also I didn't like the esthetics of the case it self. Corsair did really poor job on it. I think they was aiming for low budget case. If it was made of aluminium it would be much better. Well Lian Li is over twice as much expensive. After I was done with it I knew I will have to change it to something else so I don't even have a pic of it in its full glory

So now I'm back with TJ11.
Wait, that would be so boring. Can't go back to this:
Or can I?
There is a reason I wanted to change my cooling solution.
I wanted to try cooling in this cases to finally switch from tuber tubes to acrylic tubes. And since it is so much work(I heard) I didn't want to change case after.
Today is the magic day all this hard tubing should be delivered and I just can't wait!
Together with 13/10 Primochill I will change my coolant from see thru to pastel - ofc acid green. For that I will use Mayhems pastel yellow lemon and some dyes.
So... it is coming soon...
