mATX- Node 804

Really nice build so far and I love the matx form factor.

But I am super worried about temps with 4 GPUs and a CPU on 360mm of rad space, I have a single GPU and CPU on 600mm of radiator and it still is quite warm at times.

Just to confirm its on 2 x 120.1, 1 x 140.1 and 1 x 240.1 so 620mm of radiator in total. And I have a cunning plan to fit another 120.1 or 140.1 in if required!

on the PSU side of the case you could fit a 120.2 in the front or a 140.2 in the roof (check max rad hight tho! as not all will fit).. on the MB side you can fit 120.2 in the front.. I don;t think you would have enough clearance to do the roof.. and you also want to measure GPU length as long GPU won't fit with the 120.2 in the front of the case.
 
sorry for the total lack of updates on this one!!

Run my own business which has gone mental over the past 3 months (which isn't a bad thing!) and have been spending time with the kids and on the aquarium when I have had the odd moment..

Placed an order yesterday for the final parts I need to finish plus a new monitor (here) so hope to finish this off over the next week!
 
Cheers for the comments guys...

Quick Update.. Rig is up and running (after some argument!!).. gone with normal tubing for now as bending the hardline is going to take an age and I simply don't have time at the moment.. will get some pictures up shortly..

Good News is with everything at stock CPU under prime95 warmest core is hitting a mild 45c... and running Heaven Benchmark.. the four GPU cores are pretty much even at 42c - 44c.. got some family bits and bobs today but will get some pictures / screen shots up later.
 
So a couple of pictures... still need to sort the fan on the top and side.. and set the front rads to exhaust air but haven't had the chance! needs a bit of cable tidy up... been too busy with my business, kids, playing the odd game when I get a chance!

Basically Yes!

CPU is running @ 4.8ghz and therefore under load the VRM are working pretty hard and getting quite warm with limited airflow... after an hour or so of the GPU's being at full load am also getting some static hot air around them as well so fan on the side panel is just going to help that airflow.

Tbh it doesn't need it.. but I am a bit anal when it comes to temperatures. Given the amount of heat the loop is pumping out (two O/C over-volted 7990 and a 3930K @ 4.8) the case is doing a good job.

I think the case is great for WC builds if a bit tight..

Just got to find the time to mod the top and side panel before I put it all back together

Good point, I totally forgot you were running quadfire in that thing.

Can you fit 2x240mm rads in the front side by side with shorter graphics cards? I'm thinking about being greedy and shoving a 240 at the front and a 120/140 at the back of each chamber.

Certainly on the PSU side of the case.. on the motherboard side you would probably limit yourself to perhaps 270mm max on the GPU depending on the rad.. and running the waterloop between the two sides would be tight.
