    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Why not just take another poll for orientation plans? :)

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Ah yeah crap. Too tall. Hmmmmm well I mean worst case you mount the pump outside the case but I do like the look of that Eiswolf...I suppose mounting point for a DDC pump is one more thing to consider in the design since there's a significant number of people planning on doing a custom loop in...

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Well as far as the few people who selected air cooling, I would think that the majority of people who aren't water cooling would go with your A4 case - no need for the larger size to allow for non-existent water cooling parts right? Custom vs AIO - a DDC pump really doesn't take up a ton of...

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    My "slim" radiator is still 30mm thick. I bought the Black Ice GTS 240. And I'm using 25mm fans in it. That being said, I'm one of the few who has a no-reservoir M1 and I'm getting some pretty fantastic temps from the radiator / fan combo cooling both the GPU and CPU. One radiator, 2 fans...

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Having all the air flow downward doesn't make much sense to me - exhausting everything through the top makes far more sense. Heat convection for one thing, and for another since there's no direction to control the exhaust at the bottom, as that warm air rises all around the case some of it will...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    Yeah if you're just posting a peak of 80 during stress testing I get that, but for instance just a few posts up someone's hitting 80 while gaming, at an 80% CPU load. That's waaaaaaay too hot in my opinion.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    I'm just sitting over here like O_o at everyone's "normal" temps. 80 degrees?! http://www.buildcomputers.net/cpu-temperature.html According to google and various sites the CPU should be between 45-65, and anything over 65-70 is damaging.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    It takes about an hour if you're creative with it. The NCase is small enough it's pretty easy to do. If you have an AIO though...I don't know how you'd bleed it. They're not designed to be opened up or anything from my understanding.

    Logitech G502 vs. G602

    You may find this video interesting. I ended up getting a G502 (wired), but that was more because it was on sale for cheaper than the wireless options + the mat isn't available yet. I may well switch to a 702 + power mat in the near future.

    Help with leak testing - pump not coming on?

    Just for the filling and whatnot / leak testing / etc yeah that's what I ended up doing.

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    On a somewhat related note though - MAN it was a pain in the butt to get all the tubing right. The routing I'd initially envisioned did not work out thanks to the Apogee Drive II having its outlet significantly lower than a normal CPU waterblock would, which I neglected to take into account...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    It's pretty quiet. The fans DO idle at 800 much of the time, but I can definitely hear them spin up under load while gaming IF I'm listening for it. I'm not entirely sure that part of the HWmonitor is accurate, because even right now I just finished some heavy gaming and heard them spin up but...

    Help with leak testing - pump not coming on?

    Got it. Molex connector was the culprit - loose pin. Multimeter showed voltage just fine, found the loose pin, used tweezers to tease it out a bit more and then push it in for a solid connection. Filled everything nicely although there's a couple very stubborn small bubbles that are stuck...
