P/P 420GTX in LL O11D XL EVO

[srekal34]

Finally managed to fulfill my dream and made fully P/P setup with 3 rads in a case.
Build consists of 3 420 GTX radiators. Because of space limitations, I had to use MATX motherboard - B650M HDV/M2 Its a bit funny that fans are more than 3x the price of a mobo.
Any suggestions what could be changed?

Thank you! I am old and not accustomed to RGB

Forgive me for the basic question but I don't know what you mean by P/P. Apologies.

The build is very neat and tidy but I don't see a reservoir or pump?

Pump is hidden in the back - p/p means push/pull so fans on both sides of the radiators

Thank you.

I thought that had to be the case as I have an O11D and was thinking I could hide a compact pump/res in the back.

Mine is not that compact

I like that, great job all round. I do like the minimal look.

I'm just starting my very first WC build and I decided to go for the O11D Mini so I'll have a little less room. I've also got the Corsair LED fans with all the cables and paraphernalia that goes with!

Seeing your build is making me think I should consider less RGB and simplify. Then I think about how much I love all my RGB and re-consider!

its a nice build. you know the side fans would be better off as intakes in your set up.

Probably yes, but I doubt it will make any temp difference and I like this side more for cosmetic reasons.

 

[Wing-Man]

Yer I would assume you have the temps under control lol

I'm not familiar with this case, so a quick question. Is the pump located behind the motherboard tray and what is clearance like with the psu?
Any pics of the completed look behind there?
Thanks

Dont have any more than the one above - you have to mod the psu mount and move it down to fit. Standard o11 evo is better for it as it has 2 psu positions.

If someone's buying from scratch, it would definitely be worth looking at the EK FLT 80 or 120 pump/res. You'd lose some liquid volume, but increase options for putting it out of the way.

Thays true, but I've had flt before and found it incredibly noisy and much harder to bleed than heatkiller.

Thanks fort this idea. I am thinking of building in a 011 XL

That's awesome, I've built 2 black on black murdered out themed builds in the last year - a MITX/MATX, so this majorly appeals to me, very nicely done mate!

I'm glad I'm not the only one

Great build, looks very brutalist all in black with that chunky push pull set up
