How are people even fitting the Asetek AIO with the 1080ti FTW3? the tubing/barb is like directly under the backplate and board of the GPU for me and no way is there enough clearance.
It fits for me but barely. I'm hoping the new cables and a fan grill will fix my issue
I wonder if they have other tubing positions because it's absolutely impossible for me. Going to try and mod my radiator.
Alright, I'm back with the newest idea to not quite float. I'm thinking of tying down three A4x10 FLXs as intake in some configuration (maybe 2 on the GPU side, 1 for the CPU) to the base of the chassis rather then the top of the chassis as it would be easier to do. Did a half-assed measurement of the vent slots on the base and it seems it would be possible to cable tie these micro fans centred across the slots securely. Any objections to this mounting method?
With EK M2 68', but only a quick test, with rig in "frankenstein mood" (more or less like PC-HAngover )For anyone interested. I'm running a Samsung 960 EVO nvme ssd on the rear m.2 slot of my motherboard and at IDLE my temps are around 86*C WITH the case entirely open. No wonder I've been getting weird slow-downs in windows! Not sure how to resolve this one.
why not get some double sided foam or velcro and mount it at a 45 sitting on top of the wifi shield, would it fit? ive done that befor but in a normal sized case...[...]

Current status of rig:
I came home from work and found out my computer was on all day with the damn fan stuck on the radiator. I'm shocked it didn't shut down. It actually burned my finger when I touched it! I ordered the custom corsair cables and a 92mm fan grill but I'm not sure how I'll be able to squeeze that grill in there. There is absolutely no room!
As a side note you can see my second ssd up top resting on the pcie riser cable. It fits perfectly with the lid on.
I've just made another test run with the NVMe. 20min Prime with a relatively low ambient temperatur of 18-19C. Temp read with HWiNFO64
Hardware: Samsung 960 PRO 500GB (no cooler), mobo Gigabyte, 1600x with Noctua L9a (silent mode)
idle at start 36C
max during prime 60C
max after prime 67C
10min idle after prime 51C
Seems like the lowering fan speed after stopping Prime leads to less heat dissipation and therefore additional heat-up of the NVMe
Maybe put a 40mm on the bottom of the case, which pulls fresh air from the bottom and blows it through the small spacing between the motherboard and the central plate of the case?
I would think extra a out having that ssd there.. That is where my case gets hot and the heat is trying to get out. You block the airflow?
Yes, I'm using the M2 slot onder the mainboard (Gigabyte ITX). CPU is a Ryzen 1600x
1 works, two curves the motherboard, but all depends on where your mobo have this m2....Would this fit for people with M.2 on the back?
Where is the downside?1 works, two curves the motherboard, but all depends on where your mobo have this m2....
On asrock x299 itx, the m2 on downside is fine with cooler...the second on top...not so much!
I'm the same, my last update was on Feb 8 as well.Question to all those who already received their V2. How long did it take before the case was delivered to you? The last update that I got from DHL tracking was my case left Germany last February 8. Tried to track it using the local post office's tracking system here only resulted in 'No data found.'

Aahhahahahha sorry m8!
I meant the bottom of motherboard!
We are all Lost In Translation️
This should explain better than my poor English! View attachment 54222
Be careful, you'll see that your motherboard will be curved while you try to screw it,I think my Asus z370i has the m2 near the top of the underside of the motherboard so I highly doubt the heatsink will work. I'll let everyone know tonight either way.
Yes this was the third solution,D10S simple dont use the i/o Shield and use distance pices to get more space betwen the mainboard and the riser
you selling these?dondan any news about those "new", better grip case feet, where and when we can buy them? I'm searching for something better for a while but i can't find anything.
Also an update on my last post, testing done. I was really impressed by the results 3-5°C cooler on idle and 8-10°C load with the fan duct vs without. I don't know why it's cooler with the 3D printed duct vs the paper one, maybe because it's a bit larger and covers >80% of the motherboard?
Anyway, here are some pictures:
I agree that the cables are long relative to the DAN A4. In CeresPK's build a few pages back (and mine that was inspired by it) you will see that we both chose to leave the drive tray in. I used the drive tray for liberal cable routing opportunity. I posted pics of my front and back using the Corsair Premium SF cable kit. You definitely need to find a good place to route them. If you want a straight shot I think a custom CableMods order (custom ordered down to 150mm) is best. (Here is a build from earlier in this thread which illustrates what a well-calibrated CableMods order looks like.)Okay I spent several hours tonight trying different things. First of all. The EK heatsink on an NVME drive DOES NOT fit on the underside m.2 slot on an Asus z370-i motherboard.
It does however fit on the front side when you add the m2 standoff to the other standoff:
In other news I've basically given up getting the AIO to fit with my 1080 Ti FTW3. There is just no room to route cables. The custom corsair cables I ordered are REALLY long. I'm going to do some temperature testing tonight on the CPU and put an air cooler on it tomorrow to see if the delta is worth it to try again. I may have to go with a ghost S1 or something.

I was thinking...theoretically: an air system with effecient airflow inside case would better perform than an AIO system with bad airflow circulation?
So, a rig with 8700k and XX aircooler+YY fan and a good cable rooting is less/equal or more effcient than a rig with an asetek aio and a stressed compact wall of cable everywhere?
I'm courious and would be fine to see some "numbers" from you guys, something like:
cpu: 8700k XXXGHz - cooler: XXX + YYY FAN - cable: ZZZ - additional fan: HHH
idle temps: PPP - load temps: BBB
note: blablabla...
With some numbers probably all we can understand what is worth doing and what is not?
(ah, and if anyone else is trying to put an X299 in here, please stand up/please stand up/please stand up/ nanananana...)
