Ahh right, that makes sense. Good idea.

Done my rebuild in the new lian li sup-01 case, managed to squeeze in 2 xr5 360mm rads in the rear compartment, using a ek block/pump res to save on space and a refrence 7900xtx special edition waterblock, got some low profile fittings for the cpu block as the ones i have are too tall to install the glass (doh!) zmt throughout 10/13mm, any thicker it would have not fit, space is very tight behind the mobo.
loop order goes cpu, first rad, then to the gpu, back to the second rad and finally back to the cpu to start over again, i have to say i'm seriously impressed with how quiet the whole rig is, using noctua 120mm industrial fans and all 6 under idle are around 950rpm and under load get to around 1280rpm, cpu and gpu are lovley and cool (68c max for cpu and 48c max gpu) and remains very quiet, quirky design but hats off it does work a treat.
Damn thats sexy, would have been even better if you could hide the PCIE riser cable somehow. It would be so clean then.
Yeah it's a shame, though I thought about routing the riser in the front to free up room in the back, I know a few companies that offer pcie cables, one of which I would love to get, they are professional server grade ones, very expensive but look Hella cool, Camino or something similar to that they are called.
For what it's worth in my experience those are nowhere near the sort of bends that would create a kink.
I have zmt also and have much tighter bends with no support and no kinks.
Just googled them, the Comino riser cables are pretty crazy. Looks like they use 4pin power and Sata power, that's pretty wild but can do pcie 3.0 x16 to x16 which is nice. Can't find the price though, only request so guessing it's going to be mega money for a kit.
yeah no pricing but can request a quote, being the run from the slot to the gpu in the sup-01 is short, maybe the price will be lower, but who knows.
I prefer the stiffness and stealthy look of the ZMT.
To make it easier to get on I nuke half a mug of distilled and dip the ends in.

I used to do that
When I had primochill lrt
Very rigid /hard type of Tubing
Did the shove in boiling water trick
Just to get the tube unto the barb part
The zmt went on the barb part without any problems
Was just trying to screw on the collar part
That was the issue
Trying to get the collar far enough up the tubing
So the thread would engage to tighten it
Not sure barb and collar part are correct terminology lol
But it's the only words my brain could
Come up with for the parts of a compression fitting
small update to my sup-01 build, my poor 7900xtx has developed a fault, any kind of load would make my whole pc switch off or i'd have weird behavior in windows, so i purchased a MSI SUPRIM X 4080 super, and a ek waterblock, just about fits and happy to report pc is working a treat with no more power offs.
power consumption is very good i have to admit, performance wise is 1/1 with the xtx it replaces.

That's a shame, did you have the 7900xtx for long? Which brand was it?
sapphire 7900xtx mba, been solid (getting on 2 years) but all of a sudden its been very unstable in every game i launched. no matter which driver i used, latest or older ones my pc would still power off in any kind of 3d load, 4080s on the other hand is working a treat. because the power draw is lower overall loop temps are 5-10c lower so a plus there to.

Hmmm i do wonder because of the lower power draw and its working fine now, that it might be your psu? Have you tested your psu at similar loads/wattage with the 4080s?
my main game that was having serious issues was destiny 2, the xtx would boost around 3ghz with 340w power pull, the 4080s on the otherhand ran 2805mhz and power of 239w, temps of the xtx under load were in the low 50's and the 4080s is in the high 40's
my psu is a fairly new unit be quiet dark power pro 12 1500w no older than 6 months old. i did notice my eps cables were loose when i had the xtx in but when i fixed that the power off issue was still going on, only when i swapped to the 4080s did the pc work correctly.
i tried expo disabled, 6000mhz and 6200mhz ddr5 speeds, no oc'ing on the cpu and both gpus are stock speeds. The xtx would crap the bed after 20m-1hr of 3d load, almost identical times when i was testing games.

Does sound like a bad gpu then, it's a good job it crapped out when it did tbf too and well within the warranty period.
Shame it didn't crap out when the 50 series launched!
would have been a nice upgrade!Does sound like a bad gpu then, it's a good job it crapped out when it did tbf too and well within the warranty period.

xtx was a b-grade option from ocuk, wanted the special edition block for the mba, its had a good run tbh, not fussed about next gen atm, my days of benchmarking are pretty much over, i just want a decent gaming rig these days
besides the suprim x does fill out the front of the sup-01 much better XD

Ahh did you manage to get warranty still through Sapphire still?
Same, i might get next gen still but only for build projects and they will more than likely only be on loan from brands until the projects are complete.
The Suprim X is a huge card even when waterblocked
, looks the part!dont know if i can, i've got proof of purchase, do you recon i should email them to see?

I bought an NV9. My photography (in)ability doesn't do it justice.
