OK buddies,
a new build for 2020 \ 2021 but with the following constraints to be addressed:
small space and a case on the LEFT side of the desk...
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Build Micro-Details:
All cables from case & fans are individually sleeved with Industrial grade thermal-resistant fabric.
PSU cables management done with cablemod combs on every segment of front\visible routes.
AIO tubing managed with Velcro-straps for better look and for separating them from the GPU backplate for minimize thermal transfer.
Front panel case USB inputs managed with Cablemod sleeved extensions.
24pins ATX power socket @ 90 degree with Cooler Master adapter (with capacitor embedded)
Thermal design & Airflows:
Front Ryujin Fans on radiator (Industrial Noctuas) are configured as In-take and dinamically controlled with custom software fan-curve.
Upper 120mm fans are placed off-axis to GPU and act as In-take, both connected directly to the Strix 3090 OC PWM sockets for pushing fresh air on GPU.
Rear 120mm fan is configured as exhausting @ maximum speed.
Thermal paste for CPU Waterblock is Arctic MX-4 (after a clean removal of the stock Asus pre-applied paste).
The M2 drive placed under the Motherboard dedicated heatsink has been equipped with a Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad and the plastic layer on the unit has been removed for maximum dissipation.
Thermal results on FULL load:
CPU : 65 C
GPU : 69 C
M2 : 65 C
RAM : 55 C
As this rig will be used for gaming and Music, all the audio cables are balanced "Vovox Sonorus Protect" hooked to an RME Babyface sound card with a pair of Yamaha MSP7 Studio monitors.
