I watercooled a microwave.

That's better than my loop with a 360x45mm and 120mm radiators! I cap out at 53 GPU and 60-65 CPU depending on overclock.

Not a bad result then tbh, I just reduced the fan speed to 50 percent and undervolted the vega and overclocked it. On modern warfare it hit 59 on cpu and 53 on the v56, think I'm pretty happy with that as its not very loud and I currently have it sat right next to me on my desk where I've been messing around with it
 
Insanity in a case, love it!

I wonder if your pump is strong enough to handle Mayhems XTR when it's ready? That Mad Scientist is breaking the laws of physics with that new stuff; a coolant that lowers temperatures all by itself. Some of the testers have come back with 7-10 degree drops compared with Mayhems Pastel. Needs a chunky-ass pump though, it's some viscous stuff.

Will look into that, that is pretty crazy!

Although now this is done, I’m looking at mounting the case onto my desk (on the back) so it takes up zero desk space, and also run an external rad setup also behind the desk out of sight so I can run it silently and have no foot print on my desk :) apart from a mounted power button.
 
So it begins...

360 rad is in the post to go at the very top, the 240 is out of the original rig so it's now not gonna be suffocated at all. Had an old 280 rad in my spares drawer to use. Keeping the two 120s in the main pc still, as won't have any resale value so may as well make use of them.




Will be using filters on all the fans also! Likely change to a d5 or at least get a bigger res.
 
so much more of an achievement building a case like this with all that gear rather than in a massive full tower.

i bet it will look amazing when completely finished.

It was finished :p see post #16.

Just building it behind the recessed part of my desk now with external rads to have zero footprint and more rad space for complete silence.
 


Pretty much done now, need to slot in the psu, then connect some simple tubing in a few places, all the fiddly parts are done :) waiting for a couple of fittings in the post and some more tubing, along with the fans
 
Leak free :) coolant is in, almost bled completely with no air bubbles apart from a tiny one in the gpu, going to let it run for longer and do some more desk tips to get it out.

Then I've got to install my new fan controller as I have more fans than previous.
