  1. But "get it right the first time" IS the correct expectation. The point brought by Steve is that this incorrect data can mislead the consumer, LTT videos have millions of views of reach, and now you've just told them all incorrect data. And if they go back and correct it later, everyone who ALREADY SAW IT, saw the WRONG data. That's the problem. This is pretty much exactly what I was trying to get across
  2. What specifically are you skeptical of? the errors shown and detailed are clearly facts, I'm not sure how you can argue with that.
  3. Yeah, essentially. That way I can still unplug it easily. And it seems to all mix in fairly well. The temp difference is usually about 2-3c between the temp sensor in the GPU block port, and the temp sensor in the external system's reservoir.
  4. Oh, no that orange run was just used to bleed the external system on it's own at first while filling it. It's not needed anymore. The QDCs from the PC run to the secondary in/out ports on the phanteks reserviour, so if nothing is connected to them the system still functions standalone. Don't need to loop them at all to use the system by itself. Just unplug it and the interal system still works fine You can see in this pic the orange run is not connected anymore, since its full and bled:
  5. Yeah, sure. I made it from 2020 Aluminum Extrusion rails and it's sized to fit 4 360s total, all with intake facing in and a large top exhaust to get the heat out the top. The brackets are all 3D printed for the rads and stuff. You'll see a fan controller in the pics but i ended up not using it, i crimped a wire harness that you can see in one of the pics which connects back into the PC and powers all the fans and controls them based off the water temp inside the rad box. I just used the rads I had sitting here already, but if i need to now it's sized for more. After using this though, I can tell you its already massive overkill the way it is. Water temp almost NEVER goes over 30c. (only after hours of stress tests). I don't have to even run any of the fans higher than like 40% either.
  6. Here is my new build completed: I ended up adding a separate, external cooling loop which runs through the wall and sits in the next room over, reason for this was my computer room was just getting way too hot compared to the rest of the house. Specs: 5900x EVGA 3080 XC3 32GB Corsair DDR4 RGB Asus TUF B550 MATX Cooling 2x Black Ice GTS 240 (internal) 2x Noctua NF-A12x15 / 2x A12x25 Phanteks Glacier R160 EK Velocity CPU Block EK FC 3080 The external loop has: D5, 2x 360 rad, 1x 240 rad and is on quick disconnects so I can easily remove it and still run the system without it. With everything installed its a totally stealthy setup and you can't even see the tubes coming out of the PC. Ended up working better than I thought. 10c drop in the room temperature and over 20c drop in PC temps. Idle water temp is around 26-28c and load water temp maxes out at 32-33c.
  7. Why is there a rusty old car (impala?) shoved in the back of the warehouse lol?
  8. gibe nao pls. I currently have r9 290
  9. It's funny how this gets announced right before the trial year ends. Coincidence? I think not lol. Seems like a way to try to get people to actually pay for the service. But since pretty much everything on vessel suck aside from LTT, no way i'm paying for vessel just for that lol.
  10. lol! Nah, before I had a few orange tubes but when i changed the GPUs i switched all to blue. But i'm gonna put the orange back in next time.
  11. 3D printed a fan grille. Did it orange with the intent to spray it in gloss black. but maybe ill just leave it orange. dunno. Also added an EL TAPE graphic on the bottom plate. you can kinda see it in this pic.
  12. It's a PicoPSU. As for cooling it's not really an issue. all this thing will be doing is controlling the 3d printer. I may add a cooling fan on the top cover.
  13. I don't actually remember what CPU is on that mobo... is some little AMD thing. I've had this board lying around for a while.
  14. I wanted a very small PC to control my 3D printer, and i looked around at my spare parts and came up with this. It'll be a small 3d printed case which will house a pico PSU, AMD APU mobo and an SSD. The case will have only one button on the front for a clean look... a 22mm vandal switch (it will be blue). Here is the render of the case, I haven't finished the top cover yet. The top cover will include the SSD mounts along with a fan mount. Once i take the final pics i'll use my DSLR instead of this crap phone cam. and... the print being started Almost done printing... The finished main case part (top cover is still not finalized and printed) This is how it sits now... picoPSU and vandal switch installed along with all the wiring. Just need to finalize and print the top cover
