Awesome thank you! I did think it would be negligible but just shopping for fittings and seeing pressure relief fittings spooked me a little

The pressure caused by the increase of volume due to the temperature of the water increasing

I'm aware. I think you misunderstood what i said. The HDPLEX 400W DC-ATX is a dc to dc converter but HDPLEX also sell a HDPLEX 400W AC-DC converter, the subsequent 800w model is powered by two of these AC-DC converters and one DC-DC converter that is not yet released. As for the cost i am also aware it'll be expensive. It would be a last resort but it may be unavoidable.

Hi all, I'm planning a custom water cooled build in a small form factor case which means i don't have room for a reservoir. I'm aware that filling and draining and bleeding it will be a tedious process but the part i'm unsure about is if the water pressure increase will be a concern in a closed loop considering there isn't a reservoir what air in it that can compress if the volume of the water increases. Is it possible that the pressure in the loop could burst a fitting?

I'm aware that under a stress test the 980 will draw more power than under most real world workloads but I want to be able to power it under the worst circumstances. I appreciate the breakdown with the efficiencies, definitely opened my eyes a bit. After contacting hdplex they're planning on releasing an 800W unit powered by two of their hdplex 400W ac-dc converters in a few months, but that does reduce the space savings and the potential benefits of going with this small psu. So I'll see how I go, I may wait the 2-3 months or just buy a 650w+ sfx psu.

Lol

Yeah I do have the option for an sfx power supply however I'm working in an sff case so the space savings with the hdplex 400 would be helpful but yeah, if I have to I'll use an sfx psu. You don't happen to know of any other ultra small psu's with higher power output do you?

Hi all, I know the power draw of a 2700x at stock speeds is approximately 105w, but what are your experiences when overclocking. What's the expected power draw for a fairly standard overclock on that chip? Given that power draw, and the power draw of a GTX 980 (about 285W under a stress test from my reading) would I have enough headroom with the hdplex 400w (peak output 500w) to overclock a 2700x and run my 980 at stock speeds/slight over clock?

I am looking to make my PC quieter so I've been looking into silent cases. The bequiet! Pure Base 600 seems to be one of the best performing cases in terms of acoustic isolation however it seems to lack in the ventilation, a common trade-off for silent cases. So I'm wondering if the components I'm running will get good enough cooling in the pure Base 600 or if there are any alternatives that are similar in terms of sound but have better thermals. The main components of my rig are Intel i7 3820 bequit! Dark rock pro 4 Msi GTX 980 4gb I am also looking to upgrade my cpu in near future to the 2700x or 8700k, probably the 2700x for the better thermals
