Azure V2 - Cyan, Steel, White, and Black Evolv Shift X
This is the second version of my Phanteks Evolv Shift X build.
My main goals here over V1 were:
This is my second attempt at a hardline cooled computer and I am finally extremely happy with how it came out. I ended up utilizing a Parallel CPU / GPU loop in order to really clean up the runs which turned out perfectly.
Even when pushing the computer it stays very cool inside using the negative pressure system. I had pretty severe issues of the interior of the case being very hot when It was previously a positive pressure setup. Removing the black plastic dust filters from the front of the Shift X allows the Dual Noctua NF-A14's to move plenty of air from the top and bottom of the case out the front.
The rad-pump combo I am using is the EK-Quantum Reflection Uni 140 D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi
My main goals here over V1 were:
- Clean up the hardline water cooling by removing the circular pump res combo and replace with a EK 140mm flat pump res combo.
- Move to a dual 140mm thicker raid in the front of the case and use a negative pressure system to keep the interior of the case much cooler.
- Clean up visible cables while utilizing the phanteks Neon LED strips to give much more light to the build overall
