Really love the look of that aio.. Wich one is it?
Deepcool Castle 360EX. I got it on sale for $129 a few months back. It's been a great cooler, nice bolt-through mounting too.

I haven't used it yet, but I got the Ventroo V5 for $25 in all white to match my new all white case I got in the giveaway here on TPU. It apparently can even handle a 5900x stock, and I plan to do dual fan with slightly strong fan curve, so it will BEAT $100+ Noctua's for quarter of the price. I plan to use it for my next build... apparently AM5 socket will allow AM4 coolers, so I should be ok on that front.

Is that the CM690 II ? If so, I fit my 6700XT in there after removing the HDD cage.
I also added a second front fan & bottom intake fan which helped cool the GPU. I think the side door fan vents also helped disperse much of the GPU hot air straight out of the case.

Really impressed with the cooling.

Actually, looking at my photos, the upper section of the HDD cage isn’t removed, so I guess we have different cases.

Nice mod, I like how you ghettoed in the front fan! :)
My case is the CM690 II Advanced. I believe all CM690 II series are the same on the inside, but your graphics card appears quite a bit shorter than mine. In fact, your PowerColor is 26.7cm, and my Asrock is 30.5cm long. Funnily, Cooler Master lists the maximum VGA compatibility at 30.4cm :laugh:

I would recommend adding extra filters to the case. The mesh design is great for thermals, but it tends to inhale all sorts of fuzz:

cm1.jpgcm2.jpgcm3.jpg

I put another one at the bottom, too, even though I don't have a fan there :toast:

lol. Yeah cable ties had it fixed. It wasn't budging despite it 'floating' thanks to the ties. I was so rapt to finally have an extra front fan so it resembled something of a modern design lol.

IMG_0705.JPEG

Had fun tweaking that case, despite it being replaced soon after.

Also remembered I added a top exhaust fan too...(I think, or it may've been standard - it was the "Advanced" case too, so may have come with it. Too long ago!)...

Oh I still used the case front cover with the original mesh grills. & the bottom had the original mesh too.
IMG_0687.JPEG
I left the side grills as is though, because I noticed ALOT of hot air was exiting there & I think it helped with temps.
IMG_0689.JPEG

I have a new case now though, which is desk mountable & less scruffy lol....

I managed to get a 15% overclock with AMD Radeon Software and stress tested it with Furmark for 15 mins. But about an hour later it crashed while I was playing YouTube :(

I could use some help overclocking it tbh

I personally recommend not overclocking that low end of a card. It really won't make a difference.

Can you post a screenshot of your Adrenaline settings?

Not sure on that card, but can you tweak the voltage at all? May need to find a balance of OC/voltage.

Or just start off low with the OC - were you able to get 5% stable boost?

It had a few iterations the last four years but basically the overall look is around the same. Only the specs changed a bit. This was my first custom watercooled set-up which I really enjoyed setting up. The Fractal Define C is quite a pain in the a$$ case to work around for a first timer custom WCS if I had known I would've chosen the wider Define S. Color theme is obviously Orange and UV for lighting. The Byski cpu block is only a few months old( EK cpu block plexy top show signs of cracks and I don't want to risk it) and is RGB but I decided to stick with purple (or at least close to) for uniformity.

Here's the first look of the set-up back in 2017. GPU got downgraded from GTX 1080 to know an RX-470 cause I seldom game for the past years. Also removed the 120 rad and changed to a smaller res. I thought it looks more cleaner now.

Tidied my loop, took out secondary tube res, loop is now pump-280mm-240mm-GPU-CPU-pump
IMG_20210912_120035.jpg

Here's before
IMG_20210825_145756.jpg




Just out of interest, would the 280 be enough for both GPU and CPU? GPU is 250w, CPU is at 4.1ghz, so not sure on wattage for that.

There was no need for it as it's a pump/res anyway, and it does look tidier, was a bit of a mess before. Adjusted so its rad-rad-gpu-cpu too as loop order makes no difference.

You think the single 280mm would cut it?

Depending how much heat the/that rad can remove.
spec of the rad?

Here's the rad specs-
And heat dissipation-
