it took 7 various adapters with a combined 6 rotary joints to make this bend happen. adding a compression or a properly secured barb fitting was not possible under the GPU due to clearance issues caused by the hump that houses a Display Port.
4 way adapter added because i needed a port to bleed air when filling and because it was cheaper than a 3 port adapter even with the plugs included.
20mm XPSC radiator and 15mm Noctua fan leave enough space for airflow between them and the low profile alphacool block with the optional lateral 2-port terminal installed.
Phobya 220 DC pump mounted using a custom mount i made with vibration dampening. to the right is a fill port made of a koolance male QDC with a alphacool ball valve behind it in case the QDC leaks.
Custom water cooled Node 202 with RTX 2080 and Ryzen 5
i know there were "water cooled" Node 202 PCs before, but they usually had small, low powered GPUs or no GPU water cooling at all. well, i one upped everyone (that I saw) and built a fully water cooled build with some real horse power. my Noded 202 build is also the only one I've seen that has an proper reservoir. the extra volume of water is needed to better handle heat spikes when going through intense scenes in games or other workload spikes. additionally, my Node 202 did not lose any of the front panel connectivity, which is common with this case when installing radiators.
the CPU is a place holder until AMD releases gen 3 ryzen.
CPU overclocked to 4GHz, GPU boosts to 2085MHz with 15000MHz memory clock. Temps stay in the 40-60*C range when gaming but hit as high as 80C when benching.
NOTE: some of the hardware for this unit is still waiting approval from builds.gg to get listed below.
