Meshilicious 3900X 3080Ti custom loop

[Jimmyxtl]

Hi all,

Figured it might be worth starting a build log for this one. Most components taken from my Ncase M1, except all of the liquid cooling and the 3080Ti.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Mobo: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Impact Dtx
RAM: Corsair Dominator 32GB 3200Mhz CL16
PSU: Corsair SF750
Graphics: Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti FE
Storage: WD SN550 Blue 2Tb M.2 and Gigabyte 1Tb NVMe
CPU waterblock: EK Quantum velocity
GPU waterblock: EK Quantum Vector FE RTX
Pump/Res: EK Quantum Kinetic TBE DDC
Radiator: EK Coolstream SE280
Connectors: EK Quantum Torque Satin Titanium
Tubing: EK Duraclear 12/16
Fans: EK Vardar Evo 140mm

Issues so far: The dtx motherboard only fits in with the 3-slot GPU setup, and barely. You can’t use the tempered glass panel on that side, only the mesh will accomodate the long dimm card with the m.2 slots. This means that the pump only *just* fits in above the graphics card, but only with a modification to the case. I need to shave a 2mm lip off the back of the spine of the case (behind the motherboard, graphics side) to fit the pump perfectly so that the case will close with the glass.
I’ll report back when that’s done.

Image doesn't load, seems a lot of power for a 280 rad, especially an SE. Some very expensive components and a low end radiator.

Love the cases though and keen to see what it looks like!

One rad, erm no. Get away with CPU or GPU only though.

Probably best to swap the motherboard for a mini ITx board and change the rad for a 280mm PE EK rad surely
