Thermaltake Tower 300

[67Elco]

Soon to be home of the 7950X and the 7900 XT. I have everything on hand but the radiator. Going to be some short runs of copper line for sure.



I removed the 140mm fans from the top and moved them to the back of the case. The 120mm fans now on the top will be the only ARGB in this case...a soft white light from above. Both sets are intake...the radiator fans will be the exhaust. As the three exhaust fans on the radiator will essentially be the only visible fans in the build I will use the Noctua's I have on hand...should tie in well with this color scheme.

Nice color scheme there

Nice color scheme there

If I had the patience I would use clear hard tube to show off the orange anti-freeze more. The only place it will be visible is in the reservoir.

Radiator is still in shipping hell. This is the best solution I could come up with to mount the pump/res. It will be tedious should I ever have to swap memory, but it is doable. Two 90 degree connectors will be used for the gpu power cables and you won't be able to spot them sandwiched between the card and reservoir.

Installed 140mm Thermaltake SWAFAN's up top in the correct orientation which will maximize the lighting into the case. These fans will likely be my go to from now on...it's just convenient not to have to search for reverse flow fans all the time. The magnetic daisy chaining is a welcome plus.

It's going to be tight, but clean. Only things left to plug in are the back panel fans and radiator fans. Don't think I will be ordering any more of those FreezeMod radiators...the shipping time is horrible. The gpu power cables are all but invisible.

Tired of waiting on that radiator...robbed one out of a JONSBO case. I'll begin plumbing this today.

 

[67Elco]

This should work...as long as I can keep everything aligned while gluing.

Having a devil of a time bleeding the air out of this system. It's remaining frosty despite all the foam. The overhead lights alone proved to be just the right amount.

That looks awesome!! Nice!!!

...wonder if the foaming was due to some leftovers in the loop (from new/cleaning, etc). Treat it like a beer with too much head....... get some nose grease on your finger and swirl it around in the res, lol.

 

[67Elco]

It's just air...slowly getting better.

Noticed with this latest install that MSI has updated their MSI Center with several more capabilities. Their Mystic Light is great, but the newly added Cooling Wizard is fantastic. I can now fine tune all my fans the same as in bios right from the desktop.

Interesting, but I don't have the space to display this horizontally.

Umm.. pick up that R2 unit....
