Time and tide wait for no man... Thanks for your work on the project guys - I really think you redefined an entire segment with the thoughtful design and responsible management after launch. So many people have had a good time with it. Can't wait to see what you guys can come up with next...

I've just used copious amounts of IPA in the past. You'll definitely get that dark grey "oxidised" remnant that you can already see on your block, but it doesn't seem to affect temperatures when being used again. The only way to truly get it clean is to sand it down with a mild abrasive...

It's mounted with 3M dual lock tape - Sorry for the uber delayed reply! Noise & Temperatures: Absolutely. There's so much excess heat capacity it makes water cooling a bit boring. Pros: It's quiet, reliable, unobtrusive. Cons: You need a good control scheme because the wiring and power is...

Thanks! :geek: That's a Bitspower mini water tank ultra! I've wanted to use one of these since I saw my first water cooled loop. Filling/draining loops is always a difficult in a small case. The quick disconnects at the back are a godsend - I just use a dropper and top up from the back with...

Parvum X2.0 should be ok too! (But not confirmed.. )

Probably just move on... :( There's not enough clearance or thickness for a proper repair; 1. Helicoil would be the standard for a stripped component like this that you can't tap 2. Small barrel nut like this would work if you had surrounding clearance 3. Sex nut and barrel bolt combo if you...

I've always wondered how those fans are. They're definitely overlooked in SFF builds where that extra 5mm should improve fan performance. Is the tophat config better for temps?

Loving that loop! The Barrow block for the card looks great (y). Are you happy with the quality? Those are incredible temperatures for an asshat config and the Apogee fit is perfect. BTW - I'm not certain, but I think your hose clamps need to be opened up so they sit all the way towards the...

That Asus AIO is great! I paid almost as much for my Aquacomputer CPU block with its teeny tiny "vision" display a few years back. Are you planning on leaving the sides open for now?

Cables? - I've has loose pins inside connectors without realising.

Solid clean build as always (y) The M1 has great access, but the Ghost is so simple to build in. It's lovely. That's an interesting choice of radiator. I never knew there was an option with an integrated res. Not having it fixed in place will make bleeding the system so much easier. Are you...

rfarmer This is still running a 6600K and a 1080, both with a small OC. The AC/DC gets warmer than the DC/DC unit. Nanook Thanks! obs Go for it. I find hard tubing easier in some ways. particularly for smaller bends, which suits the SFF formfactor. I did the cables myself - I only got magic...

Finally got this guy built up! Having done the Ncase M1 and been happy with everything maybe aside from the noise at full load, this Ghost build is based on an external 480 radiator. Temps are just silly. Delta's are in the 2-3 degree range with fans at 1000rpm. Most components were just...

M3 screws of many lengths can be bought from hobby supply shops. Usually in aluminium which is very easy to shorten if required. These guys based in your neck of the woods would be great. :)

At some stage I'd like to emulate Faggan's build and do acrylic everything actually. As soon as I saw the original project I had the same idea as it was as close to the HG PAI as I could get without heavy fabrication. - I still have no idea how he made the sliding profile for the side panel. I...
