Hello: I ran the Heaven benchmark and Prime95 (these were originally used to test this case and can serve as a baseline reference) simultaneously for a half hour at 2560 x 1440 resolution. CPU: Maximum: 76 C . . . Average: 59 C GPU: Maximum: 59 C . . . Average: 50 C Ambient temperature: 21.7 C

Thank you very much. You are spot on--I started thinking about the build in the late summer or early autumn of 2019, and acquiring parts then as well. The connectors and associated motherboard headers that you reference are for fans and the pump. They are Noctua extension cables which have...

While we have some extra time, thought I’d share some photographs of my recently completed M1 build. The hallmark feature is a top-mounted radiator. This build is a dual radiator build, and thus, it also has a second radiator located in the bottom of the case. This build is a continuing...

Load (running Prime 95 and Heaven simultaneously), see Post 65, Post 64 and Post 63. I'll try to run a gaming session for more typical load results. I should be able to provide idle results too. IF I'm really motivated, I might detach the bottom radiator and test temperatures with only the...

Your original work is quality work, so when you update your photographs, let us know.

Agreed!

An example of a full length GPU used in tandem with a full ATX 140mm power supply and dual radiators can be viewed here: NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)']Post 11361[/URL] and NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)']Post 11884[/URL].

Intriguing build. Agreed! And, if you don't mind, please keep us apprised of these and other details.

Good looking build. The silver fittings and black tubing look sharp. Your use of quick disconnect fittings is something that I've been contemplating. What's been your experience?

It seems that liquid cooling is for fools. :)

Good to see that this thread is no longer on a temporary server. I imagine that the size of the thread was a contributing factor to the demise (or ?) of the prior server. ;)

Pricing information for the liquid cooling components in the subject computer (21278) follows. As you can see, liquid cooling components can add signicant cost to the total price of a system. Component . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

As you surmise, the sound in the video from the pump and fan is as loud as it will ever be. It is the worst case scenario. In gaming usage, which is far less taxing on the computer than simultaneously running Heaven and Prime95, I expect lower temperatures and correspondingly lower fan rpms...

I'm not sure how to "objectively" describe sound. So, if you care to listen, this is a video (shot with an iPhone SE) of the fan and pump noise from the subject computer 21278. At the time, it was simultaneously running the Heaven benchmark at 1440 x 900 resolution and Prime95 for the purpose...

More leak testing results: I again ran the Heaven benchmark and Prime95 simultaneously for an hour at 1440 x 900 resolution. After the hour, I reset HWInfo and continued to run Heaven and Prime95 for another half hour. I refrained from using the computer during the half hour, except to...
