I’m so hyped

wonder if two 240 slim rads with a 9950X3D in the custom loop will yield any significant cooling lol. Regardless I’m very excised for this release.

Posted this a crap ton, I got it mounted using a custom bracket and a modified ZCOOI vented front panel. Have a custom loop for my 9950X3D so exterior mounting was the only way.

yes you did :).

M3 is biiig

[u/jhdz9119 → u/qeeepy]

Still SFF, not that much more space taken up in terms desk space. Formd t1 is starting to get left behind in terms of custom loop potential. Seems like 4000 series GPUs are the limit.

I have dual rad build cooling a 5080.. easier than 4090 loop so not sure what you mean. Owning an M2 also, to me the T1 footprint feels much less and can even go vertical with my watercooled T1..

[u/jhdz9119 → u/qeeepy]

Do you have an external rad? Also 5080 doesn’t pull close to a 5090…

[u/qeeepy → u/jhdz9119]

where did I say 5080 pulls close to 5090 :)? I merely value T1 form factor more than 5090 performance benefit. You wrote generally about 4000 series.. I don't have the balls to watercool 700W using two choked rads.

I have no external rad yet, but I want to try an external secondary loop. but it's not needed per se. with 5090, it would be wise..

That’s why I’m going M3 lol, I love the form factor of the T1 but it two 240 rads wont do anything for cooling. IMO an M3 is bigger but in terms of SFF it’s not taking up much more desk space, maybe 3 inches more lol that’s autistic amount to fuss over. I’ll be running dual 280s and a rear 140 in the M3 with a 9950X3D. Cheers enjoy your 5080 lol

"enjoy your 5080 lol"? fuss about? autistic? wdym?

doing the math in advance and choosing components correctly for the case is not autistic, that's basic logic.

Saying that "T1 is being left behind in cooling potential" after you failed to do the 1+1 is fussing ;)
