  1. I'm making my first custom loop, and I'm not really sure how to calculate how strong of a pump I need. The loop will have 2 cpu blocks, 1 gpu block, 1x240mm radiator, 1x120mm radiator, and a couple of small vrm/chipset blocks. If someone could help me figure this out, that'd be great. xD
  2. Unfortunately no, I don't have enough sata ports on this board. As far as the drive size goes, I'm using 2.5" drives due to space constraints in this project, and I don't believe there's a 12tb 2.5" hard drive. I was just stating the slot I have free on my motherboard is a pci-e x16 to clarify that it's not a limiting factor on what raid card I can install. I'm not trying to max out pci-e x16 bandwidth by any means lol
  3. I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to shopping for raid cards, so I could use some recommendations. My plan is to put 4 4TB hard drives in raid 5, and I have a spare 16x PCI-e slot for the card. Thanks in advance!
  4. Well I found someone willing to design the waterblock and send me the CAD file. Just gotta find a machinist who can manufacture the block from said file. This is happening guys! Assuming it works out, i'll probably roll this over into a build log.
  5. I think I may have found a lead. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3MinCakmhnh9CJUh-TzNRw This youtuber is a hobby CNC machinist who's made some pretty nice custom watercooling blocks on his channel before. I reached out to him about a custom commission, waiting for hear back. Wish me luck!!!
  6. Partially because I think a custom monoblock would be cool, also because VRMs need some serious love too. I do like that T splitter idea tho.
  7. Oh yea, that's part of why I was looking into the monoblock idea. I mean i realize thats the most expensive overkill solution I could go for, but it's also aesthetic i guess. xD
  8. i severely doubt it given this is a dual socket motherboard. I appreciate the creative solution tho!
  9. I mean the block on linus's channel didn't look terrible (in my eyes), so I'm open to such a budget option. I'm just trying to source it, as I don't know any places with those kind of tools, and expertise, and the willingness to take on such a project, unless Linus wants me to pay his team to do it lol
  10. I thought about contacting EK, just had my doubts on getting a response. Guess I'll yolo it and see how it goes.
  11. Yea 3-4 figures is kinda what i expected. Would a machine shop be able to design it for me as well? Cuz I don't feel like I got enough experience to succesfully design the thing in CAD.
  12. The title pretty much says it all. I'm planning a rather strange PC build with a custom loop and I thought it'd be cool to have a monoblock on my motherboard. I'm aware that getting a product designed and built custom for my motherboard will probably be expensive, I'm just not sure where I could even get it done. If anyone has any ideas or leads, lemme know. Here's the motherboard in question if anyone's interested.

    1u PSU help

    Yea, thats a good power supply, but it's not 1U so it won't work for what I need.

    I was looking at this one, but it seems kinda pricy: https://www.newegg.com/athena-power-ap-u2atx80fep8-800w/p/N82E16817338106?Item=N82E16817338106
