Well really I loosened the test procedure up to pretty much: "Do what you want with it, and follow my guidelines if you want to. Use my data template if you want to or use your own. Please don't break it" Ironically the guy I picked for Canadian team lead is a bit more strict on rules for his team, but that's ok with me. IceGiant is letting us run this however we please. They are just happy for any free publicity. It would really be a lot of work for someone who needs to dismount hard tube water cooling. Maybe we can time your slot with your Threadripper before it goes under water. Depending on where on the list, it could be weeks or months since a person generally wants to spend a week playing with it, then it takes a week to ship to the next person, ect. Kate from IG told me that internal tests showed that it handled well over 500W of heat and it's estimated that it could handle 900W. We really need someone to get one of the new 280W TR Pros and see how it cooks.

There I put a button on it for you. I'll even mount it to the frame after Rachel is done painting RIP $9 Thermaltake case.

Nah. What happened was I was inquiring via email about the cooler and ended up talking my way into a free product sample. Then I convinced them to let me share it with my forum buds. So if anyone wants to play around with it, let me know. We have about 20 people in queue but I bump you up to the top if you have hot asf hardware to test. IceGiant loves the idea so they are also going to send us all t-shirts. They are a tiny start-up company, just a married couple and no other employees. They have been very cool about this and sent us bulk Kryonaut, Kimwipes, Articlean kit, thermocouple and even got a sample for Canada.

It's designed for Threadripper really. I was just the one who coordinated the sample so I got first dibs and tested my 3600 since I couldn't obtain anything due to shortages, and I wasn't about to overpay. If you are interested in playing around with it, send me a P.M. and I'll get you in the queue.

It has occurred to me that I should get grills for these fans. I have some mismatched grills from over the years but I would prefer matching ones, or one giant 1080 grill to protect the intake side of the blades. Otherwise they worked fine when I tested them in PST 3x3 mode as @Avacado recommended. Edit: Shoot I'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone and get magnetic dust filter. Looks like I will have to get 3x360x120 https://www.amazon.com/Filter-4-72inch-Computer-Magnetic-2-Pack/dp/B08MPT5BSP If someone has a better idea let me know

Is that this one? There's a warning on the bottom for aluminum. https://mayhems.store/may_b2c/mayhems-pastel-v2-uv-white-opaque-premixed-coolant-1-litre.html I'll just get the OCTO. About to go eat.

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.
