Coffee
My custom loop computer using the antec striker open air case. I named this computer "Coffee" as people I showed this to asked if it was some fancy cold drip coffee machine.
This system took me about 6 months to build as parts were hard to procure in 2020 also I wanted this system to have a 30 series gpu which was going to be a wait in itself. The system ended up with a 3090 instead of the 3080 I ordered as the wait was going to be as late as January even after the card was ordered in October. I ran with the bitspower true brass fittings along with 16mm glass tubing throughout. The glass wasnt to bad to cut and fit in the end, you just need to have a crack, which is what happened on the first few runs.
I made all the cables gold and white para cord which has a nice silky and not as course as some of the other stuff around.
I ran into a issue with the glass panels touching on the fittings so I had my old man turn up some huon pine washers to space them out a bit.
The system cools everything quite well surprisingly, gpu doesn’t make it past 60 degrees in all testing I’ve done so far,
However cinebench r23 will get the 10900k up into the low 90s. I was happy with it considering I am from a hot climate where ambient rarely drops bellow 25c.
Let me know what you think
