Can you link me to that pastel white you aren't using? I want to see if it is compatible with aluminum. It might look good since the blocks have RGB built into them.

I'm curious if you have any cheap DDR4 in that parts bin before I order some. I see you keep lots of coolant mixes. Do you find that stuff worthwhile or is it just for looks? I'm asking because I'm also doing an ultra-cheap aluminum loop with some parts that might arrive in the next few months directly from China. It should be fun to test the near $1000 copper loop vs the ~$50 aluminum loop

That was an awesome video. Going to show Michele. Time to go shopping on your parts bins. I'll take one of those, one of those there, and yes that one too. P.M. whatever I need to pay for that Octo, and I have a couple more questions as well.

Yeah I looked up specs on both and ofc I want the one with all the fancy sensors.

Well whatever you spent and $10 to ship then?

He's pretty good really. He probably knows more than 99% of the staff at Tom's Hardware. His big ass is only 14. But he's over 200lbs 6'2 already

I'll steal a button from an old case ?

Oh look at you. Yep getting that. Edit: Ugh, out of stock everywhere except the OEM, which they want way too much to ship. I guess I'll be waiting and perhaps split the fans 3x3.

Well my daughter just spray painted it HOT PINK. Hopefully the paint doesn't flake off of the aluminum since she didn't prep it whatsoever and aluminum hates sticking to paint lol.

what is that?

Yeah I haven't taped out what is routing where yet. I've 2 of the BIONX version of the P12 on the front and another P12 on the rear of the XB as well, so 13 fans and 2 pumps lol. This is the preliminary video I made last week. Can't remember if I showed that or not.

X470 Taichi. I could split them 3x3 I suppose. This is everything going in.

Suggestions on how to properly clean?

Got this radiator from @Avacado. For size comparison it's already the size of my HAF XB. Yes I'm tempted to just use it as a case lid But I instead will try and build a mounting system with some aluminum angle.

In process of making the OP look a lot better. Pardon the progress as I edit the O.P. 50 times.

Lol that's the big $24 weight lifting mat they sell at Academy sporting goods. Oh and I'm making the mounting for that 1080 rad out of the same type of material. The case I made today was actually a test-run for that to see how much of a pain it would be. Using a hacksaw gave much cleaner results than just putting a blade on my grinder. I need to repair Michele's machine shop that her father left her. He's been deceased for almost a decade, but he left her a drill press, table saws, and some pneumatic stuff that probably just all needs new cords, belts, and hoses.

I should be able to fold with some lesser cards, but my 3 best rigs won't be available for a couple weeks.

I have a ryzen 1200 and b450 mobo that will fold a couple old graphics cards for now. I'm pissed that the acrylic board came with a scratch on it but I guess you won't see it when a mobo is mounted anyway. It was the most expensive part at like $20, but I never have had luck drilling holes into acrylic. I bought four 8' pieces of that aluminum angle at Lowe's and hacksawed it lol.

Built this test bench today. I still have to do some grinding and file work, and I might paint it.

The opening riff of b.y.o.b. always reminds me of

fixed ?

I got a test sample from ICEGIANT, and permission to pass it around the forums. If you haven't already contacted me, and you are interested, just P.M. me and I'll get you on the list. Keep in mind that even though the list is maybe less than 20 so far, you figure each person is going to spend a week or so with the cooler, then it might take another week or so to ship it to the next person, so if you are far down the list it could be a couple months before you get your hands on it. I know @mllrkllr88 will be doing an official EXTREMEHW review of this cooler, but this is an informal thing just for fun. I mounted this on two different rigs. One was a standard vertical gaming mid-tower, and the other was a HAF XB horizontal test bench box. I have some pictures, screenshots, data, and videos to share. I had a blast testing this product and am thankful for the opportunity. I documented the mounting process and got right into the benchmarks with an emphasis on AIDA64 FPU AVX. I hope you guys find all of this information helpful. My conclusion is that this cooler had some outstanding performance, as it was able to passively cool my 24/7 overclock, and also cool a massive maximum overclock without throttling. I was able to overclock further than with any of my previous high end air coolers, but the real highlight was the ability to run my normal 24/7 OC with no fans mounted on the ProSiphon, all while not throttling on the AIDA64 AVX FPU test. That test is just brutal, so I can't wait to see what you guys with the very high core count HEDTs can do with this cooler compared to your current cooling solution. I really would like to see a half-width version that can fit into most mid-tower gaming rigs, but still have good enough cooling for overclocking mainstream CPUs. Data My pictures: Size comparison. A picture of the TIM spread after I took it apart. Fits in my HAF XB with room to spare. Screenshots of some of the interesting test runs: I took some (very poor) videos. The first 9 videos are what's in the box and mounting. Skip to #10-12 for the Thermal Tests with Passive runs and overclocking. Videos #13 and #14 document the main mounting issue and the solution. Can't seem to delete this pic copy from the thread, so have another look
