Edit: I need more UV strips!!!!
Just a little teaser...
Now bleeding air but far from done. Somethings messed up with the lighting so I gota undo all the cables.. that means all the cable management gone to waste...
Fixed the LED strip of my bridge buy it broke again dammit. There's a flaw with how the wire comes out of inside the housing. Some arc shape breaks the strip each time. Still need to start making the mods, need 6 fans as well...
And as if it wasn't enough... this just happened!
So that's about all I'm going to show today. See ya's!

Gona get farbwerk 360 anyways along an octo. If there can be stocks when I place my orders...
For other parts, a collaborator sent me a bunch of what I was missing and I should get them by Monday at the latest.
some people are very generous. Like you. You offered help many times. Even if I ended up getting every of what you offered me by myself because, well, I would just feel bad to accept i appreciate the gesture.
The back of the case is such a mess now... found out one of my a-rgb splitter is defective. Only one solution until I get everything Monday... used a Bitspower controller. Sadly I can't split the lighting between both loop with it but at least it lights up. I was only using blue on one loop and white on the other. Now both are the same. No rgb crap hehe. And honestly, only reason I use lighting is to be able to see the impellers of the flow indicators and blocks to make sure nothing is clogging.
I need to find someone who can work aluminium and acrylic still. Gota get the box for the back crafted!!!
Here. While waiting...

I really like the phantek t30-120, i don’t see performance improvement in my setup but perfect cable management. Its daisy chain is short (not visible) and eliminates the needs for dewire fan solution. I will 100% get the 140mm version for my Mo-ra3 420.
Just testing but going to replace or supplement my a12x25 in my rig with them. I think good fit for your projectLast edited by section31; 08-21-2021, 06:25 PM.

I expect to run fans at 600-800rpm static at all times tho!
edit: cpu already set to 5.2GHz with XMP II profile on RAM. But I can easily push 5.3-5.4GHz. GPU been running at 2750MHz before so I know I'll be overclocking to at least that.
I set both exhaust at the corner between both rads so I don't get get one feeding the other with hot air.Last edited by Danny79-Qc; 08-22-2021, 05:51 AM.

I am the guinea pig for new watercooling products lol.
I gota admit, Most of my friends who visited me lately are saying my photos doesn't do it justice. I guess for that reason, in all modesty, I can say it doesn't look too shabby.
Already plan on hiring a photographer once it is ready. I can't remember if I said it before... I'm sure it will make it look much better than the ones I've been posting.
Yeah I figured you love testing new hardwares lol. Thanks to that, I could share infos on things because you spoke about them so thank you!
Another little shot.

Quick little update... Received à few parts this week. The missing fans and a couple fittings. Finally no need for any more fans!!!
Only problem is I can't install them yet... Need à controller and splitters. I still need to receive 2 led strip and some grease to fix the bridge and gpu ledgputhe grease is used to install the bridge on the waterblock and vrm. Then I also need to get a a-rgb splitter to replace my defective one.. gona have to drain and disassemble bunch of things so better wait till I have everything.. I had a dream last night about à mod and going to do it. Hopefully will be as good as in my dream hehe.
Shared a bunch of pics on Facebook but I had to delete them because of poor quality. So once I'm done funding that thing, I'm going to invest in a decent camera! I didn't want to but I have no choice if I wana get something good out of this...
I said I didn't want to show it all but it's going to change anyways so I don't care anymore..

Decent but not entirely satisfied with cpu temps. That was at 23° ambient so 1-2° deltaT.
In heavy games like Cyberpunk 2077 I reached 62° for the cpu at 5.3GHz. Was hoping for something like 58-60° at most but that with the fans at 800rpm, it's still not bad. Gpu highest I've got was 42°. Gona try to push both farther once everything is done.

New toy in da house! Gona be replacing the 6900xt with it. After testing I can confirm I had better results with the 6900xt but the 3080ti will keep à higher resell value for a longer period.
Sadly, the Z490 Formula is defective too. So after replacing the MSI Carbon EK X, I get another crap board... luckily, support has been better. Asus is already waiting for it but I won't send it myself. Going to sell it cheaper and just grab à New one... can't stay without one for weeks... Also, gona need a new block from Daz for the little baby hehe.

It was a big day today.. A friend dropped me a couple parts so I could do some troubleshooting to fix that crash issue..
All my previous tests didn't help at all. Everything passed their respective tests like memtest86 and Intel cpu test. Only fail was when I tested power efficiency. Ran Prime95 and Furmark at the same time just to see how the psu would handle it... the pc crashed almost instantly lol! Got a error code pointing toward memory issue. So anyways, I thought it was the PSU but still asked a few pros even tho I'm a tech myself.. everyone was sure it was either the ram, the cpu, the board, even the storage haha but none mentioned the PSU.. After testing different ram, I still got crashes so today I plugged the other psu... after fixing a dead D5 pump... And guess what! Yup, now past 16 hours stress testing on low voltages with no crash! Tomorrow I will attempt a heavy stress test again just to be sure it's really fixed then o will put the z490 Maximus XII Formula for sell with the bridge. Decided to go with a extreme board instead of this one.
Here's a picture of my mess haha!
I need to remove everything for modding purpose so I just unzipped all the cables. Gona be a long long month before I can start but at least, if the pc run smooth, it's a big win!
