【PC Building】Build an amazing Ryzen 9 water cooling PC.

Abstract

Final result

f:id:Nekodigi:20201228114711j:plain
I bought the BTO PC 4 years ago. However, I wanted to upgrade and customize so I build a new PC. First I decided to build an air cooling PC but AM5 might be strong so I used the money for cooling.
I live in Japan but the German water cooling maker is good and it's expensive in Japan so personally imported it.

Noctua A14 IndustrialPPC 3000

It's one of the most powerful fans in the world.

Fitting

f:id:Nekodigi:20201228103842j:plain
I chose fittings that both ends join tubes by mistake. It was an awful mistake I made.

Flowmeter

f:id:Nekodigi:20201228103815j:plain
Sadly I couldn't use it because I don't have enough fitting because of that mistake.

Mounting the CPU was very easy and no force needed.
f:id:Nekodigi:20201228105224j:plain
Mounting the RAM need force.

f:id:Nekodigi:20201228105315j:plain
Unmounting the heatsink is a little difficult. Then I will mount SSD.
f:id:Nekodigi:20201228105818j:plain
Mount GPU, cooling parts (make sure CPU grease), and place M/B to the PC case. Then let's test it. I use WS 2818 for lightning if you interested in this please watch this and source code.

Water-cooling

Water-cooling is very powerful if you build it wisely.

A big radiator like this will overwhelm air cooling. I tried to make a fan sandwich but maybe it's enough to place one side. Then connect tubes and test it 24 hours. In my case, the pump needs to be connected to PSU, M/B, and M/B should be turned on.

I found the tube bent so I fixed it with tegus. Have a good water cooling day :)
