New Case, New Cooling


Master Turkey

Recommended Posts

Hard drive cages needed some craft knifing and some dremmel. Originally I was going to use the black ice stealth up top but the screw holes were stripped on one side. Ditched it for a larger alpha cool. Tried to pipe the two cars just with fittings, which was a goldy locks situation... none of the tubing legths I was cutting was just right. Switched to the crossfire block. Made a mistake by going into a recessed port on the block, so it leaked at first. The top grill of the case needed some sheet metal shears for the plug now present from the new alpha cool rad. Everything else was a piece of cake. lol. All fans (except for rear exhaust Tt) corsair sp hp. all watercooling blocks ek, pump/res as well. Cards are msi 390x. build took me so long the cards are now outdated. lol. that's life I guess. Front rad is an XSPC. Case is Tt v51. psu evga 1300
backside plate for cpu from ek needed some modding. the screws from the cpu holder on the mobo didn't clear, fit in the holes. I drilled them out, and then counter sunk / deburred the holes using a bit. I had forgotten to put the thermal pad in so did that at that time as well. The rear fan was also swapped to a Tt Thin fan w/red led. and i added an led light strip to the rear back on the bottom of the case. It helps the EK in the res show a little.

 computer case and is considering or in need of implementing new cooling. Techs slassh Solutions for the system. Here's how you can approach this situatioss Cooling Needs: Evaluate the cooling requirements of the new computer case. Consider factors such as the size of the case, the components installed (CPU, GPU, etc.), and the intended usage (gaming, video editing, etc.). Determine if the existing cooling solutions are sufficient or if upgrades are necessarysearch Cooling Options: Explore various cooling solutions available in the market, including air cooling and liquid cooling systems. Compare their features, performance, compatibility, and pricing to find the best fit for your needsr  Component Cooling: Pay special attention to components that generate significant heat, such as the CPU and GPU. Look for cooling solutions specifically designed for these components, such as CPU coolers and GPU coolinEvaluate Case Airflow: Assess the airflow capabilities of the new computer case. Ensure that it has adequate ventilation, fan mounts, and airflow paths to facilitate efficient cooling.
