Project Bahamut

[Danny79-Qc]

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 project

Thanks. Pretty satisfied with my x3m and Evo fans. The 6 missing ones are already on the way with bunch of other parts and extras hehe. 1 XE in P/P + 1xXE pull right now and temps are already crazy. Fans set to 500-800rpmand I have a DeltaT of 1-4° on idle for the cpu haha. Gpu at 26° so 2DeltaT as well. In AAA games so far, 32-34° CPU. GPU core 35-38° mem 38-42° highest I've seen today. Had to get to bed almost all day yesterday and today as well so I couldn't run much tests. Expecting parts to come in between Monday and Wednesday. Then I'll OC and see how it goes.
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.

I am considering placing order from aquacomputer myself for some items.

I have some rgb strips from my farbwerk 360. If you want can have them.

Thanks but I just need UV strip. No rgb for me.
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...

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!

I redid my math too. I calculated that i may only need to cover 1000cad max for the upgrade to alderlake. I can resell my 5950x, x570 hero dark and 32gb ddr4 4000 for 1050-1100cad at that time. I just need to see how good alderlake really is.

Well, yeah as long as you don't wait to sell your parts. You know my opinion about next gen. First generation of new architecture is always a source of trouble. Bunch of bugs and glitches, instability and so on. I will personally be skipping this one as well and wait on the next one. Plus, TSMC and Samsung won't be done with increasing their factories before 2023 so prices and stocks will be an issue until they are done with that. With Intel gpu coming, I wonder what will be the impact on this...

But how you know they will all be x16?

It won’t be all. There will be motherboard with such all i suspect

Which board?

We will findout when z690 releases.

[Danny79-Qc]

Same here. Still hoping to do some run betters. I will see once alderlake/raptorlake upgrade happens. I can move the gpu back to 2nd/3rd pcie slot as they are all 16x on intel.

Which board?

Oh. No I don't have problem with that run. It's already done. It's just someone said it is ugly where it is so I tried something else to make that person happy but obviously came out looking worse. I'm not worried about 3x90°, my record is 7 bends on a single run lol. Being technical and meticulous like I am, it's not hard to do. I just want the best looking option. The tubes with 3x 90° bends are done but I think there could be a better looking solution so I'm using my extra tubes and left over to explore these solutions. So far, I'm not satisfied still.

One of your earlier runs involving your flow meter. lot of options but its nice being able to use less than 3 90s lol. I tried it on one build, wasn’t fun experience.
