That is so worth it. Well... speaking from someone who didn't have to do anything.

Since it took so long for someone to reply, I figured it was a scratch build and my dreams were crushed. :p The CaseLabs SM8 supports (at least used to) radiators at the bottom and provides a bracket to hold the PSU in the center of the case, but it's not the way I would do it. This is the...

Oooh, what case is that? I've never seen it before. I've wanted a design like that where a ra diator draws air from the bottom and exhausts at the top. Phanteks Enthoo Primo and HEX Gear R80 are like that.

This encapsulates the CPU scene. Hopefully things will shift in the next few years.

A 1080 for the price of a 1070? Not bad.

Maybe your CPU was not very well adhered together. Glad to see you've got the temperatures sorted.

While I haven't seen any testing on this, it does not appear to be a very efficient method of doing things as the one fan turned around will be using the hot air exhausted (or taken in) from the other two fans. I've never seen a system use this configuration. It doesn't make sense to me. You...

Slight negative pressure isn't going to suck loads more dust in. You still have to get a can of compressed air and a vacuum cleaner every few months if you want the system to look in top shape, no matter what air pressure is inside the chassis. Besides, if you flip the rear exhaust around and...

Yeah, I think the problem is something else, something inside the loop maybe: clogged blocks, malfunctioning pump, something like that. I think the fans are perfectly fine. The Silent Wings 3 may be better suited for cases but they're still perfectly adequate for radiators too.

If you look at the second picture in post #19 in his thread you can see that the top radiator is drawing air in. He actually specifically says they're intakes—wnless he swapped the fans around at the last minute. I would personally say that that much intake of hot air isn't good. It could be...

I'm not sure how I can help as troubleshooting is usually something that has to be done by yourself via experimentation, and I'm not very experienced. I'm really posting because I want to help out. Your build was the first water cooled system I saw inside the Dark Base Pro 900 and I was really...

I imagine 2038Mhz is what his particular sample boosted to out of the box using GPU Boost 3.0. The advertised boost clock versus the actual boost clock will almost always be different. Rarely below; usually above, at least in the case of Pascal with decent cooling.

That's a great build. I think my next chassis will be the W2, but I won't be watercooling. I thought maybe I would in the future, but the W2 seems like a challenging chassis to build into. There are only a couple of possible configurations that are relatively easy as well as attractive. Yours is...

Great build. I love this case. I think if I were in the market of building a super high-end build, the Dark Base Pro would be my first choice.

Those temperatures are insane. NVidia did a phenomenal job keeping these new chips efficient for the AIB partners.

If you use a fan hub and install it around the back somewhere near the hard drive cages, you should be able to route the fan cables easily back there without too much clutter. Only one PWM 4-pin then goes to the motherboard directly from the hub. We'll have to see how neat it looks once I get...

You're limited to three fans for the Fractal Define R4's fan controller. I intend to have five fans in the W2 so I might be better off with the Phanteks PWM splitter and have them ramp up and down with the CPU. That also means I won't have to reach around (TWSS) to the fan speed controller at...

That is perfect, thank you very much. I have just seen someone else show the same thing so we're pretty much back on for the W2. Cheers! Also, your other comment is why I'd like the W2. I don't want a massive case. I have two SSD's (one would suffice if bought a high capacity m.2 drive), two...

That would not be good. ^_^ Thanks, man. :)

The MSI 980ti is 277mm long, which is just shy of the Gigabyte 3-fan design. It's bigger than I thought it would be. I really can't imagine how a 298mm long GPU is going to fit. The Sapphire Nitro cards are often even bigger than that.
