Hyperion [Final]

Lurick

Redid my old PC as I grew tired of the pump noise and I just don't have a need for a lot of the old parts that were involved. I decided, after much debate, to downsize quite a bit. Didn't have any issues with the water cooling loops themselves but the pump noise was just annoying and grew a bit more irritating over long periods of time. Additionally, I was having issues gaming because one of my 980Ti GPUs was starting to give off some really nasty coil whine. Decided to jump from Intel to AMD and go all air cooled for this build. Specs and pics follow:

Ive never used a DRP air cooler - is there a fan in the middle of the heat sinks to pull/push air, or relying on case flow?  If so (case flow) hows it working out?  

 

Very pretty original rig!  Very pretty new rig - reason you chose to go all air?

Yah, a 135mm in the center and it keeps things pretty cool overclocked by itself. I want to put one on the rear but haven't had the need yet, plus I would have to jerry rig something because otherwise the fan blades will hit the rear fins. Case airflow is pretty good as well, seems to have no trouble keeping things in check that I've noticed, maybe a bit on the warm side but it's silent :D

 

I honestly got tired of the pump noise whirring when the PC was on as it was pretty much the only source of annoying noise in my room so I decided to go back to air cooling only. Which is kind of weird because I built my first water cooled PC ~10 years ago and haven't done all air until now.

Thanks for the reply!  I started building loops this year, on my third now (have all the parts just no time to swap my Ryzen Rig 1 over).  I think after this one, other than using spares to build something, will be my last until I try performance air cooling.  Prior to my looping experience I went stock air, to a AIO (night and day difference) and now from AIO to closed loops (night and day difference), but Im curious the delta between performance air cooling and closed loops.  My rigs are silent (because of placement and fine tuning - if I was able to get behind my desk that's where all the noise is projected but since I cant get back there its all good) but Ive actually never tried anything over stock air cooling.  I recently purchased but haven't been able to use (NO TIME DAMMIT at work right now typing this lol) a 225w air cooler from China that's massive.  Going to pair that with my old FX 8350 and OC the absolute crap out of it to see how it handles.  

 

Ill have the two pump experience near me soon so heres to finding out lol.

Wow, just wow. Your old system is absolutely gorgeous. You did a really clean job on that custom loop.

Both PCs look good in blue.

Your old rig is so expensive... is that a $8000 price tag? I am looking forward to building a $500 computer yet you spend 16x as much? How dare you! Also, what do you use it for?

Cool! I was wondering if you really used all that processing power... but I am guessing sometimes when gaming?

Yah, some of the sim games like Civ seem to take advantage of it pretty well but overall the 3700X is a beast of a CPU :)

How are those Silent Wings 3 working out for you?
I switched from SW2 to SW3 at first, but to me they were a lot noisier than the SW2.
At the end I went with Noctuas.

I've not noticed any issues with them myself but I'm also wondering if the beQuiet case is helping temper some of that noise as well. I've upped the fan curve a bit so they run around 50% minimum and I can hear them a tad but it's still much quieter than my old water cooling pumps vibrating like crazy, lol.

Did you get the 1500 RPM or 2200RPM version?

I'm 99% sure these are the 1500RPM ones but I don't have the boxes on hand to check.

I guess you made the better choice compared to me then 😛 

I bought the 2200s.
