thermaltake The Tower 900 LGA 2066 Build

[H3LLSMAN]

I am building in a Thermatake Tower 900, I absolutely love this case, when completed with water this PC may be over 120 pounds or more, case alone is 57 pounds or 61.6 pounds in the dam box. I ordered 4 SANYO DENKI 9GV1412P1G001 fans for the cold air intake. 140mm x 38mm. All intake except for back panel will be a sayno fan, could not put on back panel due to clearance issues with 80mm thick rads. 

Voltage Rating (V) 12
Operating Input Voltage Range (V) 10.8 to 13.2
Power Rating (W) 55.2
Product Category DC Fan
Nominal Speed (r/min) 7600
Maximum Airflow (CFM) 310
Maximum Pressure 2.57inH2O
Noise Level (dB) 70
Line Current (A) 4.6

 

For the water cooling it will be Two loops which is 2 24v PMP 600's with a 400mm bitspower res attached to each one. The CPU, and GPU's will each run on its own loop. The PMP 600 have the highest Maximum Head Pressure I have seen 11m or (36ft) and 20L/min (5.3 gal/min), Tubing will be neatly arranged 1/2" x 3/4" Tygon neoprene tubing. Each 560 80mm thick rad with Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 PWM fans in push pull, push only on bottom of rads near PSU due to clearance issues because the 80mm thick rad. The cpu will be on the Watercool MO-RA3 420 PRO 9 x 140mm push pull configuration with 9 Cougar CFD14HBR 140mm fans.

I think you need to combine this with another Tower 900. It's wayyyyy too small right now.

Why do you have 64GB RAM ?

I would put one or two GTX 1080s in that

For an i7 all that cooling is very unnecessary... unless your going multi GPU, even then... 
Also id ditch that motherboard and go X99 with a cheaper MB so get a more powerful CPU which can make better use of 64GB RAM

[dizmo]

Cooling seems a bit excessive. IIRC more radiator =/= better performance.

PSU is completely unnecessary.

It is very unnecessary however I have it an thankfully only thing in the future I change for builds is the fittings/blocks, and tubing, rads never go out of date have had the big one for years, only distilled water and anti corrosion fluid. As for the GPU's waiting for the 1080 ti to come out. And I love that block so much its really what sold the board to me. And RAM a little RAM drive. And each component has its own loop 3 total only thing combined is on that block with is the M.2 drive, CPU, And board.

Its for the fans and pumps and all the other shit at peak the Sanyo's alone take 386.4 watts, and yes completely unnecessary in the fullest degree. I just got them cause I know I will get a kick outta them, the PC might not even be in the same room yet have not decided.

Yea! Show those "value for moneh" crabs that you do whatever you want.

I will have to modify the pump mounts a little to have the PMP 500's in the orientation that I want. The way I am going to do it is use the stock mount to mount up to an basic black L bracket like this pictured below, and then drill 4 new hole's in the the pump bracket that can detach from the case and that will hold it securely in place. Have some longer screws coming in for that and will have rubber washers on both sides for vibration dampening. Two will be up front in the case and then the 3rd will be mounted to the second gpu's rad in the rear of the case or the the back of the MB panel have not decided. Other Pump cable needs to be braided still.

What the heck is 9.2 surround. PICTURES...

[H3LLSMAN]

All it is is the 9 stands for 9 speaker surround and the two is for two sub-woofers, my receiver is Marantz SR7010-R and speakers are Bic Acoustech supports Dolby Atmos, dts UHD and Auro 3D. Keep in mind the content has to support it to take advantage. There is also 11.2 but my gear does not support it. And if the content is not encoded in any of the above still works to some degree as I believe the front left and right is played repeated via the right and left height speakers. 

 

Basically the extra two channels face upwards and "reflect sound off of the roof to mimic more natural sound presence. looks like this.

 

[H3LLSMAN]

The SANYO DENKI 9GV1412P1G001 are in!!!!!! And some more Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 fans. The SANYO's come bare wire so need to order a crimp tool and terminals plus molex and a 4pin PMW header. The cables will be sleeved in black triple weave soon too.

1.45 Pounds per fan

[H3LLSMAN]

Test fitting the rads gaskets are coming in but I have confirmed will need to only run 3 fans on the other side not enough room for the bottom due too PSU mount. The Sanyo for the top exhaust for that compartment will mount in the top chamber as if it mounted below will block the inlets and outlets same with the stock shit fan it came with.

For what will you use sanyo and how will you control their speed? Also what kind of plug will they have? Molex?

They come bare wire I have some MDPC-X all black sleeving, red, black, tan, and yellow. According to the slip that I received with them the Brown is PMW and Yellow is Tach, powered by molex and controlled by board. The sanyo's will be used for case intakes and the Noctua black 3000 PWM will be used for the rads. And for day to day use will be limited down heavily as 7600 is too much for a max threshold I can easily handle the Noctua's full blast but these hell no, would need to be in another room.

About crimp - remember to use proper size to crimp. I mean if wire is 1.5 mm2 then use 1.5 (some have 1.5-2.5 combo) 'hole' in crimper, that way you will not bend the pin or make him not enough crimped. Also when you will look at pin he will have a pair of 'wings'. When you will crimp them, they need to bend at places they are designed for, like - bigger one is for wire insolation and smaller second is for cu/al or another metal that wire have. And about the lenght for isolation to take off, just only a little bit. Lenght of second small wings would be very ok (eventually +1mm for feeling save).

 

Gotta say this build looks better an better, also thanks for reply!

Thankyou very much I appreciate it, I have watched a ton of videos so far, after a few test runs I will be good to go from that point forward as nothing beats doing it for yourself fastest way to learn and then correct mistakes in the future. I still am not sure what to put in the front 5.25 though I might do a fan controller or raid bay but do not know yet will just wait and decide later.

Dunno if OT but i try: I know that this case can mount 2 fan on the rear: on top and bottom (top of HDD Cage).

The question is: Won't this two fans vertically positioned made negative pressure if one pushes air against the other? wouldn't be more usefull to put just one fan on top?

The fans how they are positioned was just for mock up I have 6 more of the Noctua's and new screws coming in on Tuesday plus a 560 gasket for the rads, I have to leave the bottom fan slot empty on there or they will not be enough room for the PSU. Yes they will be taking the cold air brought in by the three sanyos and exit out the case through the rad. Otherwise, you would just have a cluster fuck of air meeting in the middle working against each other as you said. The power supply will face down I am thinking other or up I am not sure.

 

 

 

[H3LLSMAN]

I received a few more orders today I was shorted a Noctua fan by Amazon they have sent me a refund but will now have to wait for one more to arrive to properly fill out the 560 rads. The crimping went pretty well did a few trial runs before doing it on the actual product but fun to do.

 

[H3LLSMAN]

This is what happens to cotton t-shirts that get sucked into a 7600 RPM solid blade fan. Scary as f*** actually lol fan grill is now staying on forgot I had an extra so going to put it to use I do not want an incident with my fingers.

Those fans must be unbearably loud.

At max yes 70 decibels when controlled at lower perfectly fine for me. But def not for people that like mainstream sub 1500 fans. More air you move louder its going to be 310 CFM is not going to be quite. I bought these literally because I thought they would be fun to have and they defiantly are I could have gone with the nocutas all the way around however I wanted the deeper fan to move more air at lesser RPM. The downside of these is I did have to go with the 1500+ watt PSU as I have said previously the sanyos alone take 386.4 watts and 32.1 amps combined if they are running at max which they will not be 99% of the time but I want the capability to do it. Already have the beefier 220 outlet ready.  

 

And also the price list for the fans used here is also high more than most peoples builds 

[18] Cougar CFD14HBR - $342 USD

[14] Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-3000 - $362.32

[7] SANYO DENKI 9GV1412P1G001 7600 RPM- $425.53

 

TOTAL: 1129.85 USD or at the time right now about 1500 Canadian. But I made a huge mistake buying the Cougar fans as I literally hate them now, eventually they will be replaced with the Black Noctua fans as going forward black goes with any future build and for what I consider quite fans 2000RPM is fine for 24/7 use 3000 is also fine while gaming if the volume is cranked. But due to what this PC will be it will not be left on for downloading or web surfing it will just be for gaming/rendering, a smaller pc will be used for the majority of the time Like the intel nuc or laptop connected to TV.

[H3LLSMAN]

Well with some test fitting I ran into a problem, not a big one as I purposely did not order the last two 140 sanyo's just in case of this, I will have to switch it to one 140 in the middle and then two 120x38mm sanyo's off to each side inside the case. 

[NumLock21]

It's cruel for me to shatter your dream build, but you give me no choice. Socket 2066 does not exist.
