a secondary inline res is effectively a larger diameter piece of tubing, shouldn't have much of an effect on flow rate or anything.

haha, I've just moved, so have to build a whole office before i can finish this thing off now. It was so close! The CPU loop, red, will have two res. Thanks for the complement, wasn't sure how the final paint would look but I'm pretty happy with it.

Yeah, looks like phase units are as rare as hens teeth though. Seem to have gone out of style and the builders aren't making them any more. Ah well, I've moved house now so have a crap tone of DIY to do, along with being back at work. Extreme cooling will have to be... wait for it... put on...

Thanks :). Two loops is indeed the plan. Blue for GPU and red for CPU. I had never done a scratch case before this one. Lots of learning and mistakes. That's what it's all about!

Sneak peak - the final build has begun!

Thanks for the info. I don't think there are many CPUs that can run these at the rated 4500, I don't expect them to work at that on my 7800X but I am hoping that they will be able to bench at 4000 with tight timings. Anything at or below 14-14-14 would be nice. Not really bothered about 24/7...

Thanks!

I know this is a few months old not but just wondering how you got on with the overclocking? I may be getting a kit of these and want to know how they will go.

Finally the weather has cleared up enough to get some painting done!

Very true, I have not done this.

All this time spent at home has given me the itch to get back into benchmarking, which is all well and good using watercooling. But there's always something in the back of my head that wants to go back to 2010 when I was using dry ice and LN2. Was just wondering if anyone around here does...

Wow that's incredibly kind of you! I think I have enough to get me to the end of this project though, finally getting to use some of the stuff I've been holding on to for the past decade.

I would weigh it if you have some bathroom scales. I'm sure you could find some shelf brackets made to hold 50+KG, which should be more than enough.

Here's the latest. I was testing the RGB distribution PCB's compatibility with the Aorus motherboard RBG output. Removing the arduino controller and running the MOSFETs directly from the motherboard seemed to work, but the colours were all coming out as the opposite! This is because the signals...

I love a good Terry's chocolate orange. Also, nice PC.

Time for an update. Decided to learn a new skill in developing the water cooling for this build. Never used hardline before so this was fun. All bending done freehand. None of these fancy custom tools! 4 x 1m of tube. The first bend on the left did not go very well, however the second on the...

Got a few fittings in a couple of days ago. Mostly right angles along with two temperature probes, which will connect to the motherboard and be used to control the fan speeds on the push/pull radiator fans. Also took delivery of two 300mm reservoirs! They look amazing, and huge next to...

That looks great!

Update on the VEGA56 watercooling. This has been a bit of a saga unfortunately. So I decided to make a custom shroud to be able to re-use the stock fan alongside the water block on the GPU. This would also allow for some nice RGB to be mounted around the GPU. Here's how it went. Cut the...

Hopefully via USB cable using wiredxdisplay andriod app. Update time: The Gelid Radiant-D fan repair conclusion. The replacement LEDs arrived. Removed and cleaned up all the broken LEDs. Fitted the new ones. Pretty cool to see the internal controller using the macro lens. All up and...
