Anyone water cool using external radiators anymore?
I am having to reduce my pc footprint and thinking about using a smallish case but with external water cooling to better utilise space and cooling.
I do like the Aqua computer and aquasuite so would be interested in seeing or hearing ideas
Hardware is 9990k and a RTX3090 tuf gaming card on a maximus XI formula board
Thx
 
I'm sure that there was someone on site who had/has a build using a D5next pump in the middle of a couple? of external radiator/ thingy but cant remember what it was!
 
possibly- I only remember that the D5 next pump was in the middle of the two radiators on a external mount thingy- think it was white but my brain isnt what it used to be :D:D

Sounds like mine. I’ve got 2 Alphacool 280x45 radiators in an enclosure I made in a V shape at about 30° angle so that it’s free standing, with a D5 next mounted on a Heatkiller reservoir.

I like having external cooling to keep some of the heat out of the case. I did used to use just the external unit, but now I’ve got additional radiators in the case since I changed it, and can run the external for a separate GPU loop if I want, but I usually have it in one big loop with all of the rads together.

That’s the very one:D
 
I've got a D5 next pump lying around somewhere, a reservoir I think and a load of fittings, I have a number of fans as well (Noctuas 140) so just need to look for the radiator, a couple sets of quick releases and maybe some bar for a frame and will see where we go! Just will also need to work out the best route for the loop as well so watch this space
