Downsizing from TT Core X9 to the O11D XL + EK Front Distro plate

[OC2000]

Had a little play with lighting. I think once the distroplate RGB is connected, the GPU is connected and Mystic Fog is being used it will look a lot better

Temp Wise, These are the figures im getting on the CPU

This is Prime95 at the hardest setting @4.5 All Core (Not run for stability) It would instant crash on this setting with cpu over temp warning on my last mount.

Cinebench R20 @ 4.85 / 4.75

Ram settings for daily use:

Decent chip there, 1.33 is pretty good for 4850 I reckon!

It will do Cinebench R20 4.9/4.8 @1.36 not stable though. It probably needs closer to 1.4, but overheats. Ill be setting it with a PBO CO curve and 4.65/4.6 all core for 24/7 using the Hero Dark DOC.

Ordered an RGB splitter over the weekend from OC and still not shipped!

Ah how come you didn't get the flow and temp combo unit from Bykski instead? I looked at these but found the Bykski one instead which does both and saves a lot of room. Good build so far mate, looking good! Let us know how you get on with the MP5 back block, be interesting to see how you plumb this in as its recommended to do it in parallel.

Could you let me know if the Bykski temp & Flow meter has cables for reading info from the motherboard? The ones I have are visual info only and cant be in monitoring software, which limits its usefulness.

 

[OC2000]

Will be doing an update to this build once all the new parts come. The following will be added.

-Corsair AX1600i with type for custom cables.
-Barrowch OLED Ram cooler for the Ram.
-Ek Ram cooler X4 for 3090 back plate
-Aqua Computer Kryographics Next Strix water block with active back plate. (I’m doing 2x active cooling lol)

2x phantek 90 degree G1/4
1x phantek 90 degree adapter
2x bitspower x cross adapter ( will hopefully align the tubing to the mono block better)
55” LG CX OLED tv monitor

I’m getting the AX1600 as the AX1500 barely fits and I need a test bench PSU when pre testing the components before installing them.

all parts ordered, none arrived yet. More to come

 

[OC2000]

You would have thought the wait time for parts was down to GPU or CPU components. Unfortunately I am still waiting on my parts to arrive.

Parts I have now received and ready to go.

-Barrowch OLED Ram cooler for the Ram.
-Ek Ram cooler X4 & oCool D-Ram X6 Ram block for 3090 back plate (May not even use these)

2x phantek 90 degree G1/4
1x phantek 90 degree adapter
2x bitspower x cross adapter ( will hopefully align the tubing to the mono block better)
55” LG CX OLED tv monitor

Parts Im waiting for,

-Corsair AX1600i & custom cables - Didnt realise PSUs were so scarce right now!
-Aqua Computer Kryographics Next Strix water block with active back plate. It has been shipped today. Not sure if I am going to stick with the EKWB with a full remount and revised thermal pad placement or this.
-MP5works Serial G1/4 Back plate cooler. This looks like the best option out of the Active back plate cooling options.

I will be spending a week or two testing everything to find the optimum cooling solution and see if I can get my 3090 Strix Ram to overclock higher, but the ultimate goal is to reduce the coil whine the current water block is producing. My other goal is to reduce the heat my 3800 CL14 Ram is giving off too.

I will be testing both the Asus Hero Dark and Gigabyte Aorus X570 extreme also.

 

[OC2000]

So Most of the parts have finally arrived. I have decide to revert back to the Gigabyte Aorus Extreme X570 as this performs considerably better than the Asus Crosshair Dark Hero and allows me to maintain my ram settings with the latest AGESA 1.2.0.0 which the Asus could not.

Unfortunately the AX1600i has still not arrived, so I have had to make do with the over sized AX1500i and cramming the cables in. It really doesnt look comfortable. Ill have to re do the job when the AX1600i finally does arrive.

I have finished working out the tubing, and currently spending a hell of a time trying to get the cables in neatly.

Here are some pics of my progress so far.

I realised later the Flow meter was plumbed in the wrong way round so will have to put it back to where it originally was.

More to come.

 

[OC2000]

Finally completed the revised build. Will need to change out the PSU though when it finally comes. Overall, temps are great, Ram 10-15C cooler even at 1.54V so happy with this revised version.

 

[OC2000]

with all them OTT watercooling parts you should have added a RAM block aswell. i know it doesnt really do anything but i beleive the backplate cooler on the gpu doesnt do anything either (well not as much as you would hope).

but wow thats a nice build. im all about itx now though.

There is a Ram block there too
