[Project] - NOIS3D - NZXT s340 --> FINISHED

[BTA]

Ended up having pile of components for cool idea build. Wanted to make s340 look little bit better, so here's project NOIS3D!

 

 

Project: NOIS3D
watercooled s340

Specs:

• Intel i5 6600k
• Asus maximus VIII Ranger
• 2x GTX 980ti 2x GTX 780s
• NZXT s340 case
• Watercooling junk

First thing was to get rid of that ugly PSU cover/SSD mounts and HDD rack under it. Oh almost forgot and make room for 360mm radiator at front!

After this it is time for custom tank and new PSU/cable cover, custom cables yadayadayada. First try:

I'll paint these new parts in black when all things done.

[BTA]

Tank is starting to be ready, tho i need to order tools for G1/4 threads.

 

[BTA]

Test assembly. Ended up buying ''used'' Cablemod black/red kit (tho i dont like it at all), because this project is going to be sold away in pieces or at once when finished. Still waiting PSU to arrive, so I could measure rest of tubing. First time making PETG tubing and does look OK.. might do new ones when everything finished and putting this together before selling/breaking it to pieces...

Wondering how i'm going to route GPU cables. Make a black cable tunnel coming straight up, or route them same way as 24-pin cable, from right.

Looks great. Subbed

[BTA]

One day this is going to be done, but for now...

 

• Inlet for the pump done
• Tank threads done
• Painting started
• Meaning to leave ''PSU Cover'' with mirror effect, only painting other side. Trying to get nice reflection-action!
• Also changed all the fans - Sponsored by Corsair! (nope) :smoke:

That mirror finish is looking nice, such a great compact build of a case...love it! I am curious though, what is the order in your loop, is it GPU > CPU or CPU > GPU?

GPUs --> CPU --> Rad --> Pump

 

e. Just realized I dont have a fill port on my loop...

[BTA]

• Tank painted, had little bit bad masking-tape. Was really hard to take off..
• Little bit of mirror-goodness!
• SLI-Bridge cover coming probably tomorrow

[BTA]

Raw V1 print of the SLI-Bridge, failed print but no time to do second print today. Tomorrow doing proper one

You know that water tank idea is really understated, not something you see often. When you think of it you don't need some giant 500mm tank, so your subtle take on a reservoir is really cool indeed and it won't detract away from the rest of the build or become a focal point as many water tanks do it custom loops. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing it progress further.

[BTA]

So... Adding a ODD-factor to this build:

Any particular you reason you went from Noctua to Corsair? I think most people would consider it a downgrade

To my eyes white/black Corsair fan has nicer look and options for customization. My personal opinion is that Corsair fans are just fine when using under 40-60% RPM. (depending on version)

 

SLI bridge is done and it came out quite good I think. Only problem is that for the first time Flickr is not working for me. Timedout error when uploading.

[BTA]

Tell me do you like the SLI-Bridge? It's little bit too tall, but for this project I'm not bothering to solder my own cables for it.

Looks nice to me...

[BTA]

Bottom is now easy to open and lock with few screws and nuts.

 

 

Any idea what this means?

Well done man, nice to see it has turned out how you like it. The SLi bride is a nice addition too, it all ties in well. Don't take this as a criticism, because it's not, but what do you think of having a 90° fitting coming from the mid-plate and a 90° fitting coming from the inlet of the bottom GPU and a piece of tubing connecting the two? A straight run running horizontal to the mid plate. I don't know if that is possible but I'm sure you've already considered it.

I'm tired replying to this. Mid-plate you are referring to that mirror finished bottom cover/PSU cover right? Was looking for 90° fittings but had none to use there. In the end I kinda like seeing under the GPU's for that small mirror effect.

 

Those PSU cables to GPU's are messy. Thought that would bother me much, but honestly that mess dissappears little bit next to odd shaped loop order. Front panel is NOT painted by me, hilariously Noctua and ROG logos are painted aswell

 

My girlfriend got mad at me and called my super dumb for what I'm going to do with this build and I understand. Tear her apart

 

Black/red s340 was good starting point for this build, thanks my wallet for sponsoring! (small wallet, becasue had to buy it used)

I like the atmosphere around this video, I like the song, but not this video. Tho who likes to fail?

Thanks modded case is stored and waiting for use/someone to buy it.. Some more video progress.. I hope some people find something from these videos. Atleast for me they're good reminders what I've done and what to do better.

4/5 done. Wanted to save so much to remember what I've done on this project. Hope some people like! Sadly I had no use for this pc so she's long gone
