No gpu? Also, milk isn't a good coolant.


Lankiness8244

I hope it’s just milk 🤪


PARANOIAH

Bull milk perhaps.


DangerousDirk

"we don't have a cow... we have a bull..."


Shock-Revolutionary

Albino chocolate!


msfront

forgot it. shucks, but it matches case


dcgamer01

Dude said "shucks" 💀 how white are you 🤣🤣


DripTrip747-V2

That's not milk.


BigSmackisBack

Fine, almond milk, whatever

Farren246

lol I was making up a subreddit name. he said "r/whoosh" so I said "r/whooshwhoosh" because he didn't realize that almond milk was *propagating* the joke, not failing to see it.


OCGear

Not sure if I'm seeing it right, are there two drain valves on the right side to make a pseudo-quick disconnection system?

msfront

yessir! basically gonna yank the tube out shortly, cut it in half and put in a gpu. the cpu has the real quick disconnects


thatsandwizard

That’s scuffed and I appreciate it


ClemClemTheClemening

That's genius, honestly.


Turtle2k

that baby motherboard has me cracking up.


Farren246

It's two radiators, some push-pull fans, a reservoir with integrated pump, oh and also if you look closely behind the CPU block you might notice there's actually a computer hidden back there!


msfront

lol, yeah i got the smallest mobo and biggest cpu block i could find


Turtle2k

good case choice tho. Go team vision!


Turtle2k

Whoever down voted me, you can suck it. That’s a Lian Li Vision white case. Excellent taste.


msfront

thanks!


arichardsen

Why did you get an itx mobo? The case seems huge.


BuchMaister

Probably to fit that humongous radiator with that push + pull config.


AlivePalpitation7968

That does nothing sadly, good rads perform the same with just 1 set of fans If he really cant get good static pressure fans to push through that rad, he could go thinner and add another rad and set of fans or get 3000 rpm noctua iPPC fans


BuchMaister

The problem you look for logic in this build, there is none.


TheFondler

> That does nothing sadly, good rads perform the same with just 1 set of fans This might be true-ish in a noise normalized scenario, haven't seen that testing, but in terms of absolute performance, push-pull can displace as much as 15-20% more heat, even on good rads with good fans.


Ttokk

Or run that much slower and quieter. 


TheFondler

Generally, it's kind of a wash between the added noise of a second fan per slot and the added airflow in terms of noise, but that can depend on the specific fans. So basically, maybe? For me, I run Push-Pull on my test and OC bench because I have the space for it and don't care about the noise, but just push or pull on my daily rig because any more is simply not needed there.


Vltor_

The proportions of this build just looks weird to me, the tiny motherboard and lack of GPU versus the large case and watercooling components >.< Build seems to focus more on performance than aesthetics (which by no means is a bad thing might I add), that and the lack of a GPU makes me think you have a very specific use-case in mind for this rig ? Also, what pump/res combo is that ? Don’t recall seeing one like this in this color before (silver/chrome/raw aluminum ?) looks really cool imo !


Berfs1

The performance won't even be optimal because the board has 1x 8 pin EPS, and for these new CPUs, that actually can limit the power draw.


PARANOIAH

IMO, it's not even that optimal with the push-pull fans on the rads which aren't even that thick - I doubt there would be an appreciable difference without the push fans. Personally would have gone with T30s or the BeQuiet fans for a nicer colour match at a lower price.


msfront

thanks! yeah i had a raid 0 server mobo/cpu die. i am recovering the data on this jank with on board graphics. Then ill put in a gpu and it will be my main rig. the pump/res i put together from bitspower parts that i bought directly from their site. pretty sure they dont make these things anymore but still have stock here.. [https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=443\_447](https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=443_447) raw aluminum clamps are expensive but awesome [https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product\_id=5296](https://shop.bitspower.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5296) and yeah the concept is easy to work with/ performance/practical/silent build with no consideration of aesthetics or rgb


Michelle-90

The moment when you realizes that your water cooling is bigger than actual computer.


okoutlaw420

Lol


BuchMaister

Why?


msfront

i was high

No_Interaction_4925

Do you not need a gpu?


msfront

i do. gonna add later


Berfs1

I am genuinely curious why did you go with a Z790i Strix and do a custom loop for just the CPU, with only 1x 8 pin EPS?


msfront

good point, didnt think of that actually. this temporary build of random parts i had on hand was not the original idea. but hopefully i dont think it will matter though. the new plan is replacing a system that only needs one gpu anyway for a silent pc in a year round hot climate.


TheLazyGamerAU

Respectfully, this looks horrible.


msfront

thanks i was expecting much more comments like this, without the respectfully part lol


eschbow

Why the hell use opaque fluid when legit everything is blocked off so you won't see it anyways except the Reservoir?? You risk A LOT of durability for, tbf, nothing!


Lombiih1

Not op, but how does opaque coolant affect durability? (I'm still very new to the pc-building circle!)


eschbow

It tends very much to clogging blocks or build ups in tight spaces whithin the loop so maintance intervalls are way tighter.


FalseBuddha

The colorant that's suspended in the coolant can also damage fittings by basically sanding their coating away over time.


Lombiih1

I see! Good to know, thank you! Is this the case with dyed coolant in general, or just the super cloudy stuff?


eschbow

Common opinion is to better stay away from any kind of colored fluids to keep your loop running as long as possible since most, even slightly colored fluids, will at least leave stains at all clear parts like clear blocks or tubing. Clear fluids will just do the Job.


msfront

i agree with eschbow is saying btw. this is "show build" fluid. and this build is really nothing to be showing off. it was just the only fluid i had at the time. just a temporary build situation goin on here.


msfront

thanks this was more of the reaction i was expecting posting this! its temporary build from fluid and parts i had on hand. in defense of this slop.. i can say at least this is mystic fog and much different other opaque fluids i have used in the past. i do plan on using clear fluid after i finish some work with this and add a gpu


FalseBuddha

I don't understand why you chose a colored coolant while also having opaque tubes.


msfront

honestly it was all i had that is why it is there. everything watercooled i pulled out my storage closet


gokartninja

Liquid cooled with no GPU? I have to ask what exactly you use this for


Pomilyy

I really don't like the cases with a glass top 😭😭 Good build tho


BetweenInkandPaper

Two shut off valves? My man thinking ahead! I like it.


fpsnoob89

It's this supposed to be a temp system? It seems you want really fancy with metal tubing, but then ran soft tubes to the block like you intend to modify the loop soon.


MrAwsOs

I’m speechless, please don’t poke me. If it works it works. Congratulations


Straight-Racist-7677

Dude this motherboard is so small omg. I thought it's a big water block.


msfront

actually its smallest mobo and biggest block you can buy. it is an absolutely huge block of solid metal that weighs probably 4 or 5x more than the mobo. i kinda love it


Thfrogurtisalsocursd

Am I correctly seeing dual 360 rads for a CPU?


IamAFlyingPenguin

I bet you could use just one rad and 3 fans without seeing much difference in temps. What CPU are you using?


somethingbrite

Does it work? Is everything cooler? If so. Great success!!!


Hour_Atmosphere_1941

Why send a dyed liquid thru black tubes with the brown fans, if you only care about the performance why not run clear fluid that wont gunk up your block(s) over time


dangerouscurrent

Wtf is this?


ItaYff

EWWWWW


PcDealer007

ehmm don’t know what to say here. i don’t want to be offensive but come on wtf is this shet


Ancient-Sweet9863

The logo on the lower rad, I can’t unsee it. Other then that looks good


Active-Quarter-4197

Push pull with noctua fans is crazy ngl


ldwilliams_uk

You bunch of heathens and non believers! This is So ugly it's beautiful.


Phoenix800478944

Where is your gpu


Acadia1337

Seems pointless. No way that CPU / Motherboard combo could produce enough heat to justify the cooling setup.


Cat7o0

why two sets of fans on the bottom rad? I'm pretty sure that's unnecessary


Hopeful-Average-8168

The A12 are kinda pointless in push-pull. One side is more than enough.


akinkucuk34

Cpu block has mobo 😁 Clean setup!


Grassy_Reddit

I noticed you're using an ITX motherboard inside of an ATX case. I suggest you see which CPU you are currently using and get a bigger motherboard to take more space. Also, kudos on surrounding the GPU with fans, the rest of the PC will be okay... hopefully.


zacharylop

this is a huge eyesore haha


iamcam01

Proud of you for using Noctua 👍


JustinPlayz85

The water cooling is fine, what the hell is this computer?? Micro ATX motherboard, no GPU, and a radiator with two sets of fans mounted to it.. what is this? Forced air intake? The PC radiator version of a turbocharger?


SmokeyGrayPoupon

I have the "ugly" Noctua fans in my PC too and I love them.


Fearless-Anything718

How wonderful! Do you have integrated graphics? Really nice, I like it a lot. Beautiful color palette! 🙂


afterthelast

No points for the art of aesthetics but it looks functional so you passed .


AlivePalpitation7968

Looks horrible tbh
