...it's a project to streamline the home-office and combine work-and-play machines mounted on a modified TT Core P8. Cooling system will serve a 5950X / 3090 Strix OC w-cooled (up to 950W all in, including peripherals) and a 3950X / 6900XT w-cooled (up to 800W all in). I'm close to finishing it (finally) and will post additional pics and information soon.
-
...and all the tubing for both systems from the mobile cooling table is complete as well now, up to the QD4 transitions into the case. Given the massive rad volumes of a combined of 2520x60+ and the 5x D5s, I will try to prefill the two loops as much as I can with Mayhems XL UV Blue and about 30% deionized water...otherwise bleeding air will be a long-term affair...
-
I finished up all the w-cooling pump and rad tubing connections today up to one end of the Koolance QD4s - everything is done in reverse on this build, for both mobos on the TT Core P8. Per below, the w-cooling table still has to be pretty_fied, but it works...'Raven A' colour scheme will be close to 'Raven B' > here. I also had a bit of a scare via a big Oops moment - was trying to Dremel off some protruding screw heads while upside down, slipped and zapped one of the Primoflex LRT with the Dremel cutting wheel ; fortunately ok re. leaks
-
While Raven B (posted earlier in this thread) and its two mobos have all the rads and pumps onboard the TT Core P5, Raven A (pics soon of the TT Core P8) has a separate mobile table w/wheels connected via Koolance QD4s for cooling...total of 2520x60+ rad space divided into two banks (one for each mobo / GPU combo)...wiring for 42 fans via fan hubs and 5x D5s all checked out - which is a good thing as I don't want to do that again anytime soon
-
..."42 is an even bigger pain in the ... " - yup, it most certainly is was ! But I wired up all 42 of them (via fan hubs) in two banks, one for each system. Amazingly, they all work as intended Daily setups are: - 1340x60+ rads for the 5950x / 3090 Strix / 3x D5s - 1200x60+ rads for the 3950x / 6900XT / 2x D5s Main cooling tubes have Koolance QD4s, so I can change / add to either of the two banks of rads. Each bank's fans can be disconnected via just one SATA; and all the cooling for both mobos is mounted to my little mobile table /wheels.

long live Nieuw-Amsterdam ! ban Swiss cheese in favour of Gouda -
Yup....AND upside-down, too !

Banned coz...not even close. There's a certain Portuguese / French / UK person at another ban thread who puts us all to shame...he claims to be from a time long gone by... -

...that €1400 for the 3080 Ti FTW3 included tax (like in EU), but no matter - all five 3080 Ti (FTW3 and other) have already been sold now (only took 3 hrs / weekday / working hours / personal pick-up only). I got both my 3090 Strix and the 6900XT OC at that place for low MSRP and no pre-ordering; just have to hit the right time for a visit after the daily delivery from the warehouse to see what's what. These days though, 3090s still seem to be mostly MIA, at least the custom 3x8 pin I like.
-
Tx - mine aren't the RGB ML either, just the regular ones plugged into Commander FP /Sata / 10 hub with some Arctic P12s that work just fine on the signal - have been trying to avoid installing that iCue HAL spyware. Solution might be to buy more Arctic P12 value packs ! FYI, stopped by a local outlet of a national computer chain...surprisingly, they had 5 (!) 3080 Ti on the shelf which just got there, including a FTW3 for EURO 1,400...we made a bet as to whether they'll last beyond tomorrow evening (in person shopping for that product only)
-
...how do you control the ML fans ? I've got 9x ML 120s in another, older MSI system ? All other types of pwm fans plugged into the fan controller work as directed, but the MLs always are on full tilt, even on the same pwm signal
-
The dual mobos on the front of Raven 'A' are cooled by a total of 42 Arctic P12 pwm pst rad fans (push-pull)...ever tried to wire up 42 fans ?
-
@Bastiaan_NL , @BWG ...remember my Arctic P12 pwm pst value pack addiction problem ? Well, after mounting 42 of these, I only have a few 5-packs left for a dual mobo build project

Good to know...I was afraid they would pull a 'BF 2042' -

I hope GT 7 (and others like Forza 5) will still allow for some single-player / roaming ! -
...time to pick and choose the 1/2 x 3/4 fittings for both Ravens' Nest 'A' setups. Some of the fittings are not in the pic as they're currently on the test bench used for leak-testing
-
...re. casters, 100% agreement ! ...I've learned it is best to have my custom builds (some close to 100 pounds w/ temperate glass) and all related peripherals on wheels. Apart from the weight, none of these are regular 'boxes' and tricky to pick up re. their irregular shape and sensitive components on the back.
-
...even most modern cars have fly-by-wire controls, such as throttle, breaking and now even steering ...I do miss the immediacy of the old carb 'throttle linkages' though on a hi-po 6.6L engine. @UltraMega depending on your settings, NOT starting on an airport runway but instead elsewhere in mid-air usually doesn't kick in the autopilot.
-
..."Miscellaneous" to finish up my build, including solder, flux (for the flux capacitors), industrial Velcro and Lian Li 40cm diffused RGB strips
-
Final assembly of Ravens' Nest A has started as all parts have been updated, tested and leak-checked Diesel power : 6900XT and 3090 Strix OC w/ their new heatsinks (and lots of thermal putty everywhere) below. Strix is still pushing more clocks, but final config will have to wait for the new custom cooling system to be connected (1680x60+ for the Strix & 5950X; 1200x60+ for the 6900XT & 3950X) instead of the single 360/60 of the testbench. Then I can also switch the vBios from stock to the KPE 520 (or 1Kw ? ) for the 3090 Strix OC, while the 6900XT will get MPT PL of 430W

VERY nice, but needs more RTX cores

...love the temps at Port Royal w/ updated 3090 Strix block, even w/ a small test loop / single rad for CPU and GPU. Thermal putty has the advantage that it a.) fills the nooks and crannies that otherwise could trap air and b.) depending on the amount used, it can dramatically increase the contact surface area of the heat source (ie GDDR6X VRAM chip) with the cooling block ...Port Royal run after multiple heat-cycles below:
