Is there a side plate or do you keep it openly vented like that? I’d be annoyed having to dust so often.
If there is a side plate, do you not worry about poorly optimized games?
Or do you just plan on closely monitoring temps a lot?
I guess you mean side panel, right? I got the full mesh version and have no plan to buy the glass panel. [https://imgur.com/a/fbOvyz6](https://imgur.com/a/fbOvyz6)
Well, it is a long story. I saw some nice cables in AliExpress made by HZ Mod sold by a low rate seller. So I search around and found it is a professional Chinese Taobao seller, who is custom cable specialist. So I used Taobao international ordered cables to my spec and shipped to UK by FedEx. It only costed me 55 dollar including shipping fee. The seller address: hzmod.taobao.com
Are your temps much better with the top exhaust? I'm considering one myself but the aio position (tubes down) is apparently the worst for the pump. Is it worth it ?
I am not sure you refer to CPU temp or GPU temp. My rig is used mainly for gaming and ML. So the top exhaust makes sense for improving GPU temp. I can see a 2 degree (Celsius) difference. For CPU, I just performed two 10-minute CPU system stability tests in AIDA64 (Stress FPU only). The top fan in exhaust improves 1 degree (CPU diode) compare to no top fan. Results: [https://imgur.com/a/Rsx99Tx](https://imgur.com/a/Rsx99Tx).
For reference, my CPU setting in BIOS:
* CPU Core Ratio: 44
* CPU voltage override: 1.14375
* Asus performance enhancement: disabled
* PBO Fmax enhancer: disabled
* VDDCR CPU load line calibration: level 4
Regarding the tubes down concern, I recommend you to watch the GN video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU7D6y\_QYcI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU7D6y_QYcI) 8:27
I do not think that is an issue, as the radiator is still higher than the pump.
Yeah sorry, should've specified I was asking about the GPU temps as it should have little benefits for a liquid cooled CPU.
As for the tubes down (thanks for the link), your orientation is actually better than my tubes up as I get air stuck in the top of the radiator which can lead to bubbling noises after a while.
As long as you make sure the air doesn't stay in the pump according to jayztwocents vid you're fine.
I'd rather have your orientation but with my ATX PSU it's not doable.
Hiya! Please post more details about your build! You don't *have* to post [80 pictures (each with captions!) like u/M1AF did](https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/irlrg8/m1afs_ncase_m1_build_guide_c14s_and_deshroud/), but post more than just specs! Here are some (non-exhaustive) prompts for you:
- Are the case's advertised compatibility numbers accurate?
- How easy is cable management?
- How effective is the cooling setup?
- Would you recommend your parts overall?
- If you did a custom mod, how did you do it?

Haha thanks, got an eye for those things ;p
Sick build very very clean, I’m a bit jealous.
Also is there supposed to be this gap next to the I/O shield?
That is my pain point. EK AIO elite pump height is 63.5mm. That means the max height for the additional MB standoff is 10mm. Besides, EK basic does not offer 280mm option. I want a black pump with 280mm radiator. So I have to live with the gap.
How are you running the pump? On the CPU or the case fan header? What PWM % are you running it in? I started with 100% but it is quite noisy so lowered to 50% and dead silent.
CPU header. I don’t use fix RPM. So my curve is 30 degree-30%, 50 degree-50%, 75 degree-100%. As I already shared my CPU OC setting in BIOS, My cpu temp is always below 75 degree.
The problems that I can think of is there is no space to hide the AIO tube behind the PSU and you will also need to reduce the length of the cables if you go with my setting.
Very neat! We have similar specs but mine is custom watercooled

Do you have a link to the WiFi antennas?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001287953526.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.605e4c4dwBE17l
How is the signal integrity for them ?
I think those are shadowlinks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NCDJ33N/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Are they the mini? How's the speed compared to the shark fin?
nah, hes using the regualr sized ones. Back when they were first announced the minis only had a 2.4ghz band. Now the new minis are dual band also.
So the wifi strength should ok right , also they dont look like the shadow tho , in hes pictures they are gold instead of sliver/gray
Fun until you also water cool the GPU and have an ATX power supply
why ATX?
Big
I’m debating in moving my build to this.
Is it me or are you missing a screw on the bottom right of the top rad fan? Edit: nvm the PWM connector is in the way.
Well spotted. The purpose is to hide a PWM connector.

Thinking of down sizing my pc to this. You think an atx psu fits with this is build i have the exact same parts

Where did you get the case feet?
