Why 2 gallons? Takes longer for it to heat up with that much fluid in it. Also, if someone were to try and steal it they better be hella determined. The weight of the acrylic is going to be about 40lbs before machining. I suspect I will have about 30lbs left after, then 16lbs of liquid. Not to mention radiators and blocks, plus the fluid those will hold. *According to Fusion360 - the weight of the 6 items = 14.078lbs I didn't feel like designing the entire case... that would have taken ages.

@Guest 5150I'm rendering images of V2 right now. I'll post em when they are done. I've changed quite a bit. The entire thing is larger in a lot of ways, holding nearly 2 gallons on just the parts I've designed. The PSU res... well that was a time. I realized after finishing the distro plate and the psu res that I had moved the interface hole on the distro down... So I had to remake the PSU Res again. If you want, I can also upload the 3d files themselves. I looked at Acrylic prices for blocks that are cut to size (minus the notch at the bottom and on the side). This would cost $500-$600 for acrylic. Getting it milled... idk. Custom gaskets for this probably wouldn't be too expensive but I haven't looked. Probably $20-$30 in screws. That impeller I could get 3D printed for like $15. Probably $1000 for the custom parts, and another $500-$600 for tubing and whatnot. $2000-$2500 is what I would bet this cost in total - just a guestimation though.

I wasn't thinking when I made them, other than about how it looked aesthetically. Besides to keep cable runs short and seeing what effect a radiator between the two heat generating components has on temperatures of the loop overall. I plan on making a couple of changes anyways so I'll see what I can do for rerouting the pump. Sadly, as this is my first ever 3D model, I made some mistakes with how I did the entire project, so it is nightmare fuel to go back in the project and make changes. It can be done, but I would rather go back and do it right. That said, I do feel like this is what I was going for overall. I also have vague plans of some induced cooling nonsense in the future but that's... we'll let's leave it there for now. It is a big part of the reason I have that thermoprobe spot.

My intent is to run clear coolants only, with lighting providing the coloring. I want this to be as "easy" as possible for as PITA as I know it will be considering what I want to do lol

I should explain this thing... Obviously it's the distribution plate component of all of this, and the core of the entire thing. 2 pumps feeding up into the PSU Reservoir - there are 2 o-rings on the part that inserts into the large hole at the end of the pump's channel. The inlets for the pumps run all the way through to the main reservoir. The GPU comes into this above the large hole (2 holes up, the one directly above the large hole is for a thermoprobe). It exits at the bottom hole above the right pump and feeds into the nearest port on the front radiator. That then enters the block just above the GPU Exit and flows to the upper left fitting to the CPU. That feeds directly into the top radiator on the outer port. Exits the radiator and enters the last channel with the flow meter and mini reservoir. The plate between distribution and the main reservoir serves as the guide of these channels. Why did I go with 2 Pumps? I know that is a question that is going to be asked so here is the answer... I felt like it looked awkward with just one pump.

So... Some backstory. This is an idea that I had for watercooling my system (5800X, 6900XT). It holds just shy of 1 gallon of water in just the parts shown with water in Watercooling mockup v1 v19.stl. The large block at the front is a 58mm thick Radiator (fans on other side of the fan cage), the top is a 44mm thick radiator with 25mm thick fans (normal size). The main idea behind this is to minimize tubing. All of my measurements should be pretty accurate... as long as I didn't screw up converting pixels to mm when I was placing fitting holes for graphics and cpu. Definitely an area I could have messed up on but hey... soft tubing! I do have a couple of issues with this design currently... mostly the flow meter but I have concerns about my pumps and their mounting and whether or not they will interfere with each other or be interfered with by the setup of the transition from the distro block to the psu block. I intend on adding o-ring channels soon. I also still need to add the outlet for the GPU... just need to figure out where on the tank that needs to go because I would like that tube the be short and straight. This is designed to fit in the front of a Corsair 7000D, in the motherboard tray fan area (with all of those brackets and things removed, and a slight mod to the case. There are lips at the top and bottom that need to be cut out to fit this.) I was considering getting this resin printed, which is why the reservoir has such odd geometry in the bottom while also being enclosed. It wouldn't be much of an issue to slice the "sandwich plate" back off for making it out of acrylic instead. If Linus or someone from his team sees this and wants to use this in a video - have at it! I can upload these files in other formats if needed as well, or if anybody is interested in playing with this.

Just wanting to touch base with y'all. I keeled over before getting to finding my bios f-drive. Did that just wallago and downloaded the newest version. Was having some trouble with getting it to detect at first so I started unplugging devices from the computer. One of my non-boot drives was messing with something the motherboard was trying to do. Currently updating bios. I'm going to try the drives in different sata ports to see if I just had one of those bite the dust or if the drive itself has died. I appreciate the help! Edit: It appears my Sunbow SSD died. Considering the money I spent on that thing, not really a surprise. And IIRC, I didn't have anything too important on there that I can't either re-download or had already backed up, or was planning on tossing anyways.

I've been wanting to get a UPC for a while but until the last 2 or 3 months ALL of them have been out of my budget (If you can't tell from my previous posts, I've slowly cobbled this build together). It is, however, plugged into a surge protector but those things can only do so much. *Can feel the shame being sent my way* Oh your ideas mean I have to move this chonky PC around... well. Let's get to it! Cmos and ram didn't work. By throw a code, you mean see if the motherboard detects that there isn't a graphics device installed and starts shining the led at me?

My 1650 super (when the system decides it's gonna play nice and boot) can provide 144fps in some games. E‐sports titles, Gunfire Reborn mainly (and only when not recording footage while at max settings). I'd say it depends on how much the op plans on playing each game, though I do agree with you overall.

No luck... Was hoping maybe someone telling me to do that would make the stars align for me lol! Question, would hitting the button for q flash mess up bios if you don't have a USB in the flash port? My subway sandwich was pressing END (the button on my mobo for q flash) when I turned it on. Long shot, I know, but worth giving every bit of data I have. However, if the motherboard didn't have a bios I doubt it would even make it to that screen (but what do I know, I bake bread for a living). I do know the board itself isn't throwing me any diagnostic LEDs that I can see.

I went to shut my computer down last night, forced me to update. Everything happened normally, I went to bed. Come home from work today, computer won't go past the screen for motherboard manufacturer logo (where you spam the living daylights out of del to go to bios). System also isn't responding to any keystrokes. Before you ask, I do have my keyboard and mouse in USB 2.0 ports - I've had issues in the past with bios not wanting to detect USB 3.0 inputs. The update is the ONLY thing that's been downloaded to the computer in 2 weeks and the system has been operating normally since I rebuilt it 3 months ago. Specs: 5800X Gigabyte Aorus Elite x570 Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600mhz (didn't get b-die, I believe Cas is 18 but don't quote me) MSI 1650 Super Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 750W psu (about 6 years old now but this system is the strongest it's been in. I know that for a fact because I bought the PSU at Fry's Electronics [RIP] and had it in a fx4350 based system for 4 years with a gt710 gcard.) WD SN750 NVME (boot drive) Sunbow 1TB 2.5" SSD Seagate Barracuda 8TB mass storage As of right now I haven't tried any diagnostic steps, though I am considering unplugging the SSD and HDD to see if that gets me anywhere but I'm pretty convinced that isn't going to do anything. Any advice would be helpful... today's been a LOOOOOOOONG day and I'm not quite thinking straight. Thanks in advance!

Whoops! My bad

Sorry, I forget how to make images hidden Edit: I remembered lol. Gotta use spoilers

@ColinLTT @LinusTech I wonder if this would work better (not that it wasn't already doing well) with a rectangular tubing? It would allow for more surface area of the seat to transfer energy away from the body. This would be an example, and the company in the link would be able to make custom sized tubing. Just a thought, if y'all ever wanted to do another iteration of this chair!
