Project Parvum s2.0 : DrakanX1

[Mads1]

Another red & black S2?? This is great stuff!!

My only issue is the dust, cannot get decent fitting filters, but this wouldn't stop me getting one

Nice build & looking forward to more pics!

cheers bud yes agree there with filters but there are ways round it, i just got some akasa filters and they seem to fit ok, and dont seem to spoil the look either, well to me they dont.

i like how you did you build i was stalking it how are your temps with the h100i, i see you got davido to do your sleeving, ive just done mine the other day, took a few days to do but MDPC looks really nice

Thanks!

Temps on the H100i are mint! 25-30 idle and 50-60 under load. That is using a custom fan profile which changes the fan RPM based on the coolant temp, not the CPU temp. It keeps is quieter!

does that make a difference that way then, is that done via the link software, you will have to tell me how you did it as never had a h100i before

This looks awesome, I want more pictures!

Hoping you might be able to answer a question as I'm planning on buying this case, do you know if it will fit a Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler (- Dimensions(with fans): 160 x 140 x 158mm ( H x W x D)), and a 12 inch long graphics card?

My google fu is clearly weak as I've searched but can't find specifications on what will/won't fit. Don't worry if you're not sure and can't be bothered measuring

I'm pretty sure it will, but wouldn't recommend it. I've seen the K2 cooler in one of these, so you "should" be fine. Saying that though, you'd really want a closed loop cooler to show off it's beauty!! Hellalot of metal in the window with one of them.

@paulm71 - regarding your dust filters, they seem like a solid choice. I may pick some up for my H100i as I've butchered some 120mm DemciFlex filters for the front of the case by cutting out the filter and fitting between the 2 front acrylic panels! Works a treat!

just measured and from M/B tray to front edge its 178mm but then you have to take off length of M/B stand-offs plus thickness of M/B so although it might be tight i think you might be ok but def check out from someone else who has the case but the G/Card is not a prob.
its a great case by the way and well made, and thanks for the nice comment.

Thanks both. Reason I'm set on the D14 currently is it's in my current setup so was hoping to reuse it.
Would be a shame to not show off the inners a bit more though, so if it doesn't fit it isn't the end of the world

Sell it on the MM

i think it will spoil the inners of the case, as snips86x said they are really a water cooled case but you could use it until the funds are there to upgrade to full loop or AIO, im only going for a H100i but will def do a full loop in future as the build is costing a mint and i need to get it up and running first before i think that way ahead.

 

[Mads1]

new parts arrive.

at last i had some parts turn up so i could put in the case instead of it looking empty, ive decided to get the PC to a stable state, and even though im only putting in a corsair H100i, ive decided to save up to get a full loop, off which i will get over the next month or two and this is what ive got it down to, please give advice if you think there is something else i can go for as this will be my first loop.

ok this is what arrived today

not to forget the haribo's

tested the Enermax silience fans they look good in the case and there are quiet as tested to make sure they worked.

also just a pic to show the akasa fan filters,

will update as more parts arrive.

 

[Mads1]

update:
Had problems with fitting the Enermax 80mm fans as the spacing of the mount holes where 2mm difference to that of the case, not the case fault but the fans themselves as there 82mm not 80mm so bare that in mind if you get them but they are really quiet. Anyway got the drill out and modded the holes up 2mm, took 5 secs to do.

Looking good

From what they've told me I think it's going to look really smart. Rather than try and explain it, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking when I have the case

yes they look good, i did hear people say they take the look away from the parvum case but i think it goes well, you can hardly see them away, aslong as it keeps the dust out

 

[noj]

that's a sweet looking case and those fans are tasty too!

really nice look to it so far....more pics please!
