Medusa 3U build

[Fluxmaven]

I have way to many systems. I also have multiple racks, so it makes sense to start doing rackmount builds lol.

 

I'm planning on using this as my main rig for a couple weeks while I tear down my main rig for some long overdue maintenance and a couple upgrades. After that, It will just go into the rack as a folding rig unless I end up needing it for something else down the line.

Temporarily its running a Ryzen 5700X3D in a B550 board. That's going to go into my travel rig and the Z790i + Delidded 12600KF will go into this rig.

RTX 5060 Ti 16GB watercooled with a Koolance GPU-210 block on the core and an Alphacool MCX One kit to cool the memory.

360mm XSPC rad

D5 Vario in Bitspower top

FrozenQ 2016 limited edition reservoir that I've been meaning to do something with for a long time 

 

 

PCB on the Gigabyte 5060 Ti is hilariously tiny. Beer for scale.

 

 

Having memory on the front and back makes things interesting. Using large loops of tubing to keep from applying a lot of force on the blocks to hopefully keep them from popping off. Added a bunch of zip ties to help hold things in place. After a few heat cycles if they seem to stay on solidly, I might cut those all off. 

 

 

Trying something new. Didn't want to use nuts and bolts to mount the pump since it would stick down further and make it harder to slide into a populated rack. So I riveted it in. Seems to work great. 

 

For some dumb reason, I want to do a few runs of hardline tubing. (mostly since I have a bunch laying around). We'll see how that goes but I got some progress done before it got hot this morning so I'm content with putting that off for another day.

Took the day off work. Decided to finish this while I had some free time. 

 

Added an Aquacomputer Octo so I can control fans based on liquid temp. The Arctic P12 Max can get pretty loud but move a ton of air. After I get all the air bubbles worked out and fan curve dialed in, it will be ready to go for the upcoming foldathon.

Pretty cool build, love seeing watercooling stuffed into a rackmount chassis.
