Just completed my Intel build with 12900K, 1st time using hard tubing... Took a while to do the measurements/planning but it turns out great. Much better than I expected. Now I got both an Intel and AMD build lol.

Hi boys and girls,
is Black Ice Nemesis GTX 360 enough to cool 5800x and 3080 ?
The case is o11 mini

 

[dwolvin]

A 360 can cool them, but will not be ideal (little bit small). I'd go with the bottom 360(edited 'cause I can't type) also if you can, or at least the 240/280 in the side ahead of the MB.

yeah i just tested temps in battlefied 1 and my CPU is around 75ish C while my GPU is around 50c
will hunt for 240 or 280 rad

I'm using a 360PE and 280CE for my 12700k and 980ti(i know) at 1450/2800 and temps are fine, i considered the third rad, but don't think its necessary.

Crazy that a block as old as that is still top tier. What's it, 7 years old?

Yeah, something like that. I'm not sure exactly how long ago this particular generation was updated but it's been quite a while. Only thing I don't like about this waterblock is how restrictive it is.

 

[dwolvin]

Agreed, I gave up and grabbed a corsair since everything that can beat it is super restricted.

What's your setup like? A single block shouldn't be restricting it enough that your pump shouldn't be able to overcome at the correct settings.

 

[dwolvin]

Nothing terrible- EK 1080ti block, 2x 420 Alphacool crossflow 420 Rads, a couple of 90's and a Barrow D5 (plus the CPU). I just don't like high restriction.

 

[tiggerlator]

finally sorted the 24 atx and 8 PCIe cables. looks better.

Do you think vibration on pump/res and tubing can cause problems ? Fittings/tubings become loose over time .
Here you can see the moving tubing : YT (Did not film the res ,my phone cant really show the phenomenon well enough)

I really hope that is just the flow causing the tubing to move like that. It is not normal for a pump to cause that if it is indeed the source. But no, the fittings should not come undone if secured right in the first place.

 

[dwolvin]

It could loosen something, but if your fittings are not being vibrated much I wouldn't worry about it. But I would track down why it's vibrating.

 

[TeslaHUN]

Well , its an external Radiator setup , placed on a cheap IKEA shelf /rack .Thats the reason why its vibrating. I did not connect it to my PC yet ,just leak testing . 2 pumps (VPP755) on speed 2 / speed 3 . The flow might be still too high for 3radiator . When i connect it to the PC where there is obviously CPU + VGA block it will reduce the flow a bit (but only a bit since there is a 3. pump in the PC )

Yea that's 3240mm of rad space, more than anybody needs. Why would you waste your money on all that? And then buy a POS Ikea shelving unit. I swear people make no sense. Tell me you have all that because you are running quad NVlink 3090's with a 64 Core Threadripper.

On a side note, you might give @J7SC an erection.

 

[dwolvin]

With that much radiator you could probably go fanless...

To be honest it costed less than a single Mo-Ra3+a feet . I already had the pumps for years . Bought 2 x1080 rad second hand for 100$ and one brand new for 100 But thx for ur honesty .

Haha, but no, not female-looking enough

Re. the posted vid, the vibrations of the tubes can happen when there's a lot of restriction in the loop and there's some air in the loop / rads that compresses / expands.

Also, why stop at only quad 3090s and 64 cores ?

In that scenario it makes sense. Thanks for confirming you aren't completely crazy.

Toying with the notion of removing the 90* fitting from within the water block itself. Seen here:

I know a majority of the restriction is probably more due to the very fine CNC cut micro channels in the copper itself, but I can experiment with those as well by removing part of the rubber gasket that forces all water through that very small area.

Here is the right angle restriction if looking from the "bottom plate" through the restriction (looking up at the top plate) and said 90* turn, you can see the restriction is very pronounced from this point of view.
