ooh!

will you be doing custom cables? and also do you use paracord or PET-type sleeving?

I will be doing custom everything!

Yes to your specific question, and I like to use paracord

Thank you :D

I seriously considered going with the new mini-DTX mobo from Asus, Crosshair Maximus Impact, but then i saw that Ryzen doesn't actually reach the MHz as advertised on the box so... back to Intel.

Hello,

 

Do you guys know if I will need a BIOS update for my Z390-I mobo in order to use the new 9900KS?

 

Thanks

I just read the mobo manual about BIOS update process... It seems to me that I must have an older CPU installed... Right? Then update, then install the 9900KS...

If that's true... I would need to also buy a cheap-o older CPU to do this...

Yes or maybe visit a PC repair shop? Or contact the shop where you got the board.

If it's not obvious, this is going to be a loooong project due to the amount of custom work that needs to be done on the "case".

I recently moved to another country with a new job, and finding a local cnc shop that can also bend sheet metal proves to be a bit of a challange.

Anyways, I'm still in the design phase.

 

I started to think about how the tubing routes will go (rigid tubing of course :D). The Ideea is to not have tubes crossing over each other and have some kind of symmetry. Also the waterblocks will be on the same plane. First I thought that this is only achievable with a distro block. Here is the first a la 5 y.o. doodle:

image.thumb.png.68f60a677c0d22509b0fdde92074e438.png

The series version on the right I think gives me the symmetry I want. Then I realised that the distro block couldn't go as high as in the drawing due to the GPU. Second doodle:

image.png.ed340d711cd6902ed6560a1b112e28a6.png

At this point i realised that i could achieve this without a distro block. Still trying to figure out if I should bend the 90 degree or use the bitspower multilink 90 degree fitting. I think I like the squareness I would get using the fitting:

image.png.1352f9f5345d346251e6220acb5147dd.png

This is how it will all roughly fit:

image.png.39e716e67a2ef0d4db18a68fcaab50f6.png

 

I'm planning to use the Heatkiller Tube 100 D5 reservoir from Watercool because of sexyness. The problem with this is that the inlet and outlet ports are slightly offset and prevent me from having a straight line

image.png.83c34321b3373ef4055c41dbaf8a0f9d.png

I think this is where this odd duck comes into place

image.png.a14a89fa496deb9da396cf04e9073884.png

I'm hoping that by using this it will also help in clearing the RAM sticks that located to the right of the mobo monoblock (they are exceptionally tall). Oh yeah... this puppy is in the planns :D:

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Has anybody used the Bitspower X-Cross fitting before? I can't find if they are rotary or not. From the pictures they look like they are, but I want to be sure.

OK, so as you might have guessed, I got a few more components.

 

For the first time I could to a test boot. Here are some pictures:

Yes, I removed the sticker from the SSD

 

Obligatory unnecessary RAM sticks art:

This is a weird thing... the ssd sits at an angle and the heatsink does not make contact all the way. Am I doing anything wrong?
