Phanteks Evolv Shift Custom Loop

[r3loAded]

Hi fellow enthusiasts. Today I want to present you my friend's build. I know, it's not mine but I was there for the most part and helped with guidance and screwdriver :).

 

A little background.

 

I firstly bought this case as I wanted to go "small". Kind of small as this is not between the smallest ITX case but looks much better than any of them. This is the thread https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/872320-fully-evlovd-shift/

 

After being disappointed with the temp of the GPU I decided to go for the other Phanteks ITX case. My friend fell in love with the case and bought it off me with the intention to do a build that would look nice on a work desk for his business. But knowing him that he likes latest tech, he went full on I could say for a business PC.

 

i7-7700 cooled by a deepcool captain 120 RED LED

B250i ROG Strix

16GB Corsair Vengeance RED LED 3000MHz

500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD

GTX 1080 Founders edition

Corsair SF600 PSU

2x120mm slim (12mm)

 

 

He then proceeded to building the PC and he was quite happy with the end result. Unfortunately happy only with visuals as the 1080 had the same problem I had - HEAT. The GPU was reaching 84 degree is no time and was loud and of course was throttling down. Really unhappy he was. We thought we could try a GTX 1080 Hybrid but couldn't find one for a decent price and the risk that the temp to still be high was still there. So I suggested a loop just for the GPU. Not knowing if possible but had a feeling that it might be possible. From there 1 week later and £300 spent the journey to do a loop in the Evolv Shift started. I repeat: it was all his work, I only assisted him.

Not the best pictures but will add soon some more as he added another rgb strip :).

And some illumination

 

Happy to report that the GPU reached in furmark a stable 46 degrees in full load.

With the CPU AIO exhausting out the front, along with the GPU exhausting out the front, then bottom intake.. what’s your CPU temps under load, and how did you manage to mount the fan to the radiator when there is no way your radiator holes matched up on the case holes? I’m asking cause I tried doing this and my CPU is cooking cause there’s no room for it to exhaust its heat with the front panel on. Along with I had to figure out my own way to get the fan mounted with the radiator since holes don’t line up .

That is a very cool small build, I dig it!

Noice built one too and temps are 38°C on gpu and 38 to 45 on CPU

still need to clean it a bit and get some better cable management but I could not wait to test it.

Sorry for posting to an old thread, but I'm trying to do something similar, just with a full custom loop. How did you mount the fan for the AIO? Is it on the outside and if so, was any modding needed to make it fit and what size (depth) fan was it?

 

For the bottom front and bottom radiators, which did you use? Where are the fans mounted for those?
