Watercooled Parvum S2.0 (Extended) ROG Build

was you able to mount the rads though, did they fit, was looking at the 120mm, may go down that route but still looking at what rads to get yet, i know the top one will be a alphacool, but thats as far as ive got yet, plus the Ek fittings.:)

I think this looks amazing, makes me want to WC my S2. How do you find the Aerocool fans? I've been thinking about getting some for my case, but the price is putting me off.

I know they are quiet and recommended as a replacement for the H60/90, but what's your first hand experience?

Thanks :) I'm really pleased with the build. As for the fans, I'm just running them at 12v constantly as they're pretty quiet. They seem to be pushing a fair amount of air through the rads but I will do some load tests once I get windows installed to see what temps are like

I was able to mount the standard gts stealth 240mm rad in the front but the x-flow wouldn't fit due to the clearance at the bottom of the case. If you do get the 120mm rads get the ones that have the screw holes near the edge of the rad. The gts stealth 120's don't fit side by side. You need either the GTS lite or GTX lite 120's

i wonder if alphacool xt45's would fit as they have top ports aswell so could use them, how long is the parvum extended and can you fit 80mm fans in the rear as i see you have none.:)

I've just had a quick look at an XT45 and it looks like it should fit (obviously with the ports at the top though). Don't quote me on that though as I don't know for certain.

Just made a quick measurement for you. End to end (external) is 486mm. Internal is 465mm.

80mm fans will fit easily. I'm just going to see how temps are before I look at installing any :)

Jim :)
 
thanks for that, i think if i went for 45mm rads i wont have the space between gpu and front fans for pump&res although it might be tight, looking at ek ddc pwm with xspc acrylic res, your case would look the nuts with a slight tint panel, parvum are doing them at the moment limited stock as they havent many left, i picked one up the other day makes such a differance.:)

sorry to be a pain but what is the space between front panel and your top rad.

I might have to ask them :) Will have to be custom though as my side window is longer

im sure they would sort it for you, the xt45 was a 120mm not a 240mm rad, then can use the top ports and run the fittings and tubes at the side of case, and use a front port from the top rad with a 90 deg fitting straight to top panel rad, if that makes sense.:D
 
Ahh, the 120mm version. I'm not sure whether it would fit by looking at it. The screw holes don't look as close to the edge as they do on the GTS lite or GTX lite radiators, and mine only just fitted.

oh ok, i was hoping only being 124mm wide it may fit, maybe its dremmel time again, and just drill 4 x slots 5 mm long for it to fit, what ones you got the ones in the parts list.

I've got the GTS lite 120's. They are 30mm thick and 30 FPI. The GTX lite 120's also fit but are about 40mm thick but have a lower FPI of about 20

i think it might be a bit tight if i go for the 40mm thick rad, be ok if id had the extended one, 20fpi would be better, as would be able to keep fans at a constant low rpm.
 
Finally managed to get hold of a good camera so i've got a few nicer pics of the finished article... Enjoy :)
