: What influenced your construct?
Etienne: I have seen a great deal of SFF builds on YouTube incorporating customized loops and I actually wished to tackle that problem. I’ve carried out many customized loops previously, however by no means in such a small kind issue.
What instruments, equipment, and supplies did you utilize, if any?
I used a Dremel to chop the underside of the case so as to match the water block. I additionally used a customized acrylic vented aspect panel and a entrance wooden panel.
How lengthy did it take you to make this construct, from begin to end?
I might say round 30 hours complete over the course of a yr. This additionally consists of the time of filming the time-lapse whereas constructing.
Did you come throughout any difficulties in designing and making your construct?
Sure, the water block didn’t match firstly so I needed to reduce the case. Additionally, the reservoir-pump-radiator combo was leaking and it took me hours of troubleshooting to comprehend that the O-ring contained in the pump was displaced.
Are you fully pleased with the tip outcome, or is there the rest you’d prefer to work on subsequent?
I’m pleased general however a bit disenchanted by the temperature of the GPU. I’m used to overclocking the hell out of my GPUs as a result of this is likely one of the objectives of water cooling, however with this construct, I can’t overclock as a result of the little radiator is simply too small to extract extra warmth. Even at inventory setting, the load temp is within the higher 60s which isn’t actually completely different from a superb air cooler. Nevertheless, not less than the customized loop allowed me to suit a 4090 on this case.
