Good catch! It’s indeed an EK 360mm radiator leftover from my old water loop hahaha, the fans still work and extract hot air from the case, never got around removing the thing

Good to see you posting again!
Nice rig

Thanks HammerON! It’s nice to see you hanging around here!

A little update to this: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/your-pc-atm.65012/post-3857150

After i got tempature sensors from the fan controllers sat the correct places, i saw something i dit not like. Motherboard chipsæt got fairly hot in the very hot summerdays (over 35 degress celsius in the hottest time of the day) we have where i live right now and then mix the high out side temperatures with a high clockket CPU at 4.42 GHz at 1.41 volts and a GTX 1080 TI that can put out a good amount of heat (when oc op to 300 watts of heat) when i game. I think you can guess that chipsæt gets pretty toasty when the pc is under high stress like demanding games or benchmark.

So i had two options either lower OC on CPU and GPU or put some fans on the chipsæt. I chose fans on chipsæt and in the same round i replaced the cpu cooler fans as well to get the CPU cooled properly in these hot summerdays with out have to lower my OC.

So these are the new fans i got. With a high static pressure as well a CFM. These are perfect for the job. Noise is a bit higher, but noctua can make high performances fans without the high pitch high RPM fans else can have. Dont get me wrong, they are still loud a max RPM, but they have a more pleasant sound than the old Silver Stone FM121 120 MM fans i used before that suffers from high pitch.

So after another replacing of fans, the systems looks like this now. Try to look pass the cable ties holding CPU cooler now. Had to do it else the cooler would hit the small fans on chipsæt and make a bad noise . Yeah as a fellow nerd you properly know how it sounds if something hits a fan, not a nice sound. But oh boy are cable ties great for other things than holding cables .

The first image most people dont want to show this side of a pc, but oh well here we go. Yeah i feel like the cartoon on the first image, so hey get of that side of my pc again

So here are what is new other than cpu fans. Chipsæt now has fans and the fans next to GPU as exhaust is now 60 MM fans, just cut not find any one in black so had to take what i cut get.

Still work in progress but up and running finally ,Amd 2400g based htpc, drived by Ubuntu 18.04.

Automotive polishing products will get rid of the scratch, but for what they cost, you could probably just get a new side panel.

I guess so, but I made a better choice. This case will be the home of my project AM2-AGP PC on monday.

No need for ghetto-modding radiators etc. anymore.

Replaced the EK Supremacy Elite 2011 v3 block with the EK ASUS Strix X299-E RGB Monoblock.

That CPU cooler looks ultra efficient for air, looks heavy, hope its bolted down well.

It very efficient. One of the best aircoolers. Its a Noctua nh-d14. Its heavy (900 gram of aluminium + the weight of 3 fans). Its needed to cool a i7 980X at 4.42 ghz pumped with 1.41 volts.

Know what you mean about CPU heat, try running FX-8350 @4.9GHz with 1.48 Vcore... my Cryorig R1 Ultimate with push/pull 120mm never gets over 48C during gaming. Trust me, all 8 cores are working though...

Tomorrow I'll be adding a 140 rad with Corsair SP140 white LED to the loop. I couldn't resist of swapping the original hoses to transparent + adding Nanoxia blood red UV coolant.

edit: And I hate that big scratch on my side window, I have no idea how it got there.

Go to the auto parts store and pick up a bottle of headlight restoring compound.

That is one epic project you did man!!!! I love it!!! Honestly, it is simply, but it is also one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Next APU with Vega they release in a year or two I might try to do something like this, you rock!

Maybe some day, this case is going to my retro-PC so it's not that important anymore.

Had one of those, was pretty awesome. My wife decided it was hers to use and killed it in less than a year!

She has an ancient Dell Latitude D620 now and can't kill it after 2+ yrs of trying

That's wrong in many ways. I learned that it isn't wise to share your important material possessions (real estate, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, PC's, guns, bank accounts...) with girlfriends (I'm not married). What's mine is only mine, not "ours" and definitely not hers. It also eliminates 99,99 % of gold diggers pretty much instantly.

Yep, that old Phanteks was just too small to play with watercooling.

Gave it a clean a couple of days ago and it's already dusty...

@witkazy THAT IS AMAZING holy crap i love it lol.... wow...


you need to buy a freesync 144hz 1080p now, and every 1-2 years upgrade the internal APU to next vega/ryzen combo

 

[ensabrenoir]

Phanteks evolv (traded a psu for it) cooler master elite 130, a very special gtx 670
