SFF PC 12.5L fully liquid cooled

Last crawled date: 11 months ago

Dimensions 120x260x400mm 6kg Fully liquid cooled both CPU & GPU in single loop. I specifically used EK-FluidGaming aluminium series, to keep it lightweight. Current weight without side-panels is 5.8kg, (with side panels it is about 6kg) One can use also fully copper-brass loop of course it would be even easier to find and combine parts (as there is really no aluminium part anymore since EK also discontinued their line ... damn EK!!) Recommend to use custom short cables to make cable management easier (and I actually saved 200gr from by replacing the original SF750 cables) Current build is with i9-9900K (overclocked @5GHz, and undervolted a bit as per OptimusTech recommendations) RTX-2080-Ti with EK FluidGaming water-block for RTX2### series. PSU Corsair SF750 Platinum Frame is made by 6 fans: 3x 120x25mm on top (I used Noctua NF-A12x25-PWM) on top and 3x 120x15 (used slim Noctua 120x120x15mm) on the bottom Over the top fans there is 360 aluminium radiator (again EK FluidGaming) The top and bottom fans are connected by MakerBeam aluminium extrusion beams 10x10mm. Height between fans is about 190 mm. Pump is SPC-60 pump (again alu-lineup compatible FluidGaming). There is no place for reservoir inside, so external reservoir is used, and for connection are used QuickDisconnectCouplings (QDC) not on the diagram, but any place where rubbing is long enough to fit a QDC and have some wiggle room is good, I have one on either CPU and GPU side of the pc, but mounted my QDC on the CPU side. Hint, instead of drain port extra QDC can be used - just plug half of it in the reservoir OUT tube (not additional tubing needed - it will flow), and the other half on the PC side to let air in. Just make sure the last one is kept high so it does not spill any liquid around, and keep the open end OUT of the reservoir to flow into a container. NOTE: if you want to take it on a plane you will have to empty it, but you can take also the external reservoir with the QDC couplings and a concentrate - they are about 100ml anyway so they should be fine by airport security, and it is fine to put the closed bottle of liquid in your check-in luggage or if you do not have a spare one, you can buy it later, or use simply deionized water later when you reach your destination to fill the loop again. I am using Manfrotto Manhattan Mover 50 backpack to transport the PC (see the pics attached). And there is plenty of space for thin keyboard, mouse and even slim portable display or tablet (that can be connected to a PC to use as display) Have fun!
