AMD Ryzen + Vega ITX Water Cooling Madness!

[Cocco93]

Hey guys! I decided to build myself a new compact and nice looking PC for the comming years (hopefully ).

 

The system will be based around the Lian Li PC-O5SX case that I've already used once for another water cooling build. So I do have some experience with it. It's a very complicated case for water cooling and requires a decent amout of prep work (rotation fittings etc are needed.).

 

Anyway... I just wanted to show you some fotos of my progress.

 

The PSU sleeving was made by myself. I usually order the sleeves of AliExpress. They are cheap and good looking :)

 

 

For water cooling I'm using mostly brands like Barrow and Bykski. Why? Because I've had nothing but great experiences with them this far. Bykski is kind of the only manufacturer with a nice looking VEGA 56 Nano water cooler. It will be a hard tube build with 14mm thick tubes. The radiator will be a EKWB 240mm SE and the pump is a Laing D5.

 

Oh yeah... The PSU . The stock fan just had to go! It was such a stupid and loud sleeve bearing fan that I just couldn't leave it on there. So I replaced it with a much quieter BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 High Speed PWM fan, that will be controlled by my motherboard. 

 

Mainboard: ASUS B450I Strix Gaming

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (-50mV undervolt)

Ram: HyperX Predator RGB 3600Mhz at CL17 (Samsung B-Die), are tweaked to 3200Mhz CL14 with advanced subtimings though.

Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB

GPU: Sapphire RX Vega 56 Pulse (I will undervolt it by quite a bit)

PSU: Sharkoon SilentStorm SFX 500W (basically the same as the Silverstone one)

Case: LianLi PC-O5SX

I'm getting towards the finishing line with this PC, thankfully 

I literally spent multiple hours trying to figure out how I could do the tubing around the reservoir and pump...

 

DONE!!!  ; Is it perfect? NO!; Am I happy? YEP! 

 

I already know what I'm gonna change once I have to change out the fluid: Reinstall the RGB kit on my waterblock. I removed it but now I think I would have looked nice.. Well

 

I can't use this build yet, as I couldn't fill the reservoir up completly. The D5 pump was so strong that it produced foam inside of the loop.

Clean build Mate!

 

Love how you tried to cram as much in to a small case as possible, props to you!!
Thats half the fun aye!

[Zandvliet]

Nicely done! I love the PC-O/5/6/7 cases! Got the O6X myself, also watercooled so I know how difficult it can be  Again nice job.

Love this build, it's one of those builds that inspires the imagination! You got a lot in there, yet to me it doesn't look cramped at all. It looks like everything is exactly where it ought to be. Your custom cables look ace and your attention to detail, such as cable management, pleases me greatly. Well done!

thanks a lot!  I usually get totally crazy when building such PCs..

I actually finished the build a few days ago. The system runs fine and cool enough. Cooling was my main concerne. But I was able to undervolt my 2600 via an offset of -50mV and I could get my Vega 56 (more or less) stable at around 1000mV core voltage. Vega however is a very temperamental architecture. The system sometimes just freezes with a black screen which is indicating a power issue on the GPU - so my undervolt isn't quite stable yet.. 

[Cocco93]

And not only that. Somehow my Asus Aura Sync software is conflicting with the "anti cheat" software of many games.. So I can choose between synced light or gaming

Clear Fluid and the RGB lighting on the CPU block just make this build more "pop" 

What do you guys think, which one do you prefer more?

Great build! both looking really good, purple fluid look more premium imo

Absolute Beaut of a machine

Hi I was wandering what are the VRM temps under load with this GPU waterblock? Is the GPU Overclocked Undervolted of flashed to vega 64?

[Xkillerpn]

Did you had luck with your Vega, is it molded or unmolded? My Red devil is unmolded so I get stupid hot spots, still it does 1725mhz with the LC bios and 1175mhz hbm without problems. 1150mv on the core. 

 

They are great cards if people know how to work with them.

 

And the HBCC seting is just a must. 

 

Great build you have

[MaratM]

It runs fine, as good as it can with hynix memory( the core And the hbm does not hit 50c (hot spot is around 15c higher), my problem is vrm temp it is a bit too high for a watercooled card. Up to 90+c, I know it is within the specs but it is still hot. What thermalpads did you use?

HBCC setting?
what build out of 3?
