Also, why on earth does this build have a matched dual channel memory kit? That doesn't fit at all. One should be replaced with a SODIMM in one of those weird adapter boards.

I have been wanting to buy one for this. As now the only memories I have is sodimms moving to a laptop.

Well i set the GPU on fire, and then moved my 2700x build into that case. I ran out of old hardware to abuse

that msi 1080 is a good candidate
after you get your 3080

Oh its going in 'this' build, watercooled 1080 with a 2700x with ghetto pins sounds perfect for VR usage

Mussels · Nov 18, 2020

I'm totally doing a rebuild of this hardware again, and going to throw in a really dumb idea for where to mount the CPU radiator... look forward to it!

In a garbage can full of water?

Wait, that might actually work...

I got it on fire but then it started raining

and of course it needed a cleanup after all that action

LOL. Reminds me of my old work. After a while, between year and five usually, we removed old trams motors thyristor blocks. They were dusty as heck.

Easiest way to clean them? If our industrial washing machine was free and had just replaced and clean liquids we just put them in there and pressed start button. 6 minutes and 80C.

Then we used hot water and hose to rinse away any residues. After that we put them in owen. 6h and 60C.

Washing machine:

Some sexyass hose job...

Dusty parts...

And sorry, nothing else to contribute.

Awesome thread! :roll:

You'd need a water pump to circulate the water, but yeah that would likely work really well.

Prepare yourselves, you know this is gunna hurt

200MM fans on a 280mm AIO (so, 140mm fan mounts)

Gotta love how more than 1/3 of the active blade area of those fans is in front of a flat piece of sheet metal. Wonderful design there! Btw, it would be really interesting to measure the airflow difference in various spots behind the rad, given how nearly the whole width of the rad is obstructed by the hubs

Toothless · Nov 18, 2020

It needs some sucking power on the other side of the rad. Maybe a bunch of 80mm on the other side?

Why not use 120's?

nah, he needs to use usb plug in personal fans.

I got two of thems but I think shipping would be too much

Mussels · Nov 19, 2020

I had 2x140mm RGB to use as pull fans, but the AIO on my main system hose was too short for front mounting without a push-pull config of quad 140mm

Hilariously this is working great, 2700x on stock (which always ran hot) seeing about 75-80C in cinebench

Nuckles56 · Nov 19, 2020

I feel like you need to put in a solid spacer to get the most out of those fans, so that 100% of the air actually goes through the radiator and also make this whole thing even more janky

Mussels · Nov 19, 2020

As much as its a TERRIBLE design choice the amazing part is the system is silent, cool enough, and amazingly fast.

Wait til i get a new GPU and throw the watercooled 1080 into that rig, and add even more RGB and hoses.

oobymach · Nov 19, 2020

I've given this thought before, a liquid mercury cooled cpu/system. The fins would need to be wider as mercury doesn't flow between thin vents (or maybe it would if heated enough?) aside from being toxic and a conductor that would immediately fry any component it leaked on, would this work? Would the heat transfer process work better with a fluid metal given the thermal conductance of the material? It would never evaporate or clog, once contained properly it should be safe?

I once knew someone who had collected almost enough to do it but never did because of the toxicity and ludicrous conductivity, if accidentally leaked it would short any contacts it touched and touching it with bare skin is bad for your health. It might actually be possible with todays no drip systems, anyone care to test?

DeathtoGnomes · Nov 19, 2020

I have a suggestion for a high flow water pump....

phill · Nov 19, 2020

We use something similar at work, possibly bigger but that would cool a few PCs down right with a decent flow... Might blow them in half but what is a little overkill eh?

Why not a bunch of 40mm?
