i know there were "water cooled" Node 202 PCs before, but they usually had small, low powered GPUs or no GPU water cooling at all. well, i one upped everyone and built a fully water cooled build with some real horse power. the CPU is a place holder until AMD releases gen 3 ryzen
pick attached. short video showing the build:
a build like this would not have been possible a few months ago. 3 new products recently released made it work:
1. alphacool's GPX waterblock that comes with an optional straight, low profile 2 port terminal (instead of the typical 4 port terminal that sticks out 1-2 inches)
2. XPC PC's TX240 21mm radiator. as crazy as it sounds, it performs just as good as 30mm and even some 45mm radiators, assuming typical fans at low to mid range RPM. a high density rad with powerful fans will obviously outperform it, but that's not something i would use.
3. Noctua NF-A12x15, 15mm fans. these things are pretty amazing considering their low profile. at 1200 RPM they are very quiet and move a suprising amount of air. i generally dislike noctua fans, but these blew me away (sorry for the horrible pun)
other notable mentions:
-this tiny Tecnofront res. http://www.performance-pcs.com/tecnofront-itrap-mountable-delrin-reservoir.html i was so impressed by it that i bought a second in case i want to buiuld something like this in the future. i had to saw off the mounting ears and use 3M sticky tape to mount it, and it worked out perfectly.
-Phobya DC12-220, small, quieter than the DDC pumps i tried, runs off a regular fan header and packs enough power to keep water moving smoothly regardless in what orientation I keep the case. doesn't matter how i put the case. on the side, on the back, on the front, this pump doesn't care, just keeps chugging along.
my first choice for CPU was a 9700K, but it was pretty much impossible to keep the temps under control.
i also thought about vega VII, but that's impossible for at least 10 reasons. the most obvious reasons are the crazy power draw/heat output and its' size. vega VII is more than 1" taller than a typical RTX/GTX card or any of the older vegas or furys. it's not going to fit in this box with any water block.
benches to follow. feedback and improvement suggestions welcomed.
