Discussing Custom Loop Builds and Performance in the Meshlicious

[@MachinesMore]

Just a quick note - fans are configured as intake since there gives the radiator the coolest air directly, there are no considerations for ambient case temps other than for the motherboard's chipset fan. This also mitigates the inconvenience of warm air blanketing the user, such as in AIO or air cooled Meshlicious builds where the exhaust config is the preferred mode.

[@caml1720]

would a reputedly hot vrm like the strix x570-i change this consideration?

[@BringTheSteak]

Im curious if a front exhaust and dremeling the motherboard tray to allow a slim fan top intake would be more permitting for ram overclocking and lower vrm temps while maintain acceptable cpu/gpu temps. This seems to be the only popular liquid cooled SFF case that would be easy to put an intake fan directly over the ram and exhaust the cpu / gpu heat away from the main components.

Been binging your videos, can’t believe I am just now finding your channel! Love the content and just picked up this case 😊

[@agreeable-control]

Would you mind sharing how the reservoir/pump mounts to the case? I’m considering the 80cm version of that same reservoir but I can’t see an obvious place on the meshlicious to mount this.

[@blakes8901]

LOVE this video! I've been looking for build ideas inside the meshlicious and I think I am going to go with something similar to this. Very pretty computer, thanks.

[@hoppyt3ch]

Indeed, a very personal color choice for the cooling fluid. I approve :)

[@rlcodi]

It looks like there's an iceman external reservoir for the mesh now if you're interested in revisiting this sometime, seems like a nice solution!

[@kartikKK]

Such amazing work. Was waiting for this video since the build video. Please test this exact setup with noctua nf a12 and maybe also try jamming in a 280mm rad!!

[@AtomicWaffle14]

Noctua nfA12x25s are available in black now! Tho they are pretty exponsive.

[@lemmerdeur666]

I am building a dual rad, dual pump version to keep pump and fan speeds low and silent. Love/hate relationship with the color scheme!

[@rolexrolex095]

I use a 280 gts, why did you pick 240?

[@Average3djoe]

Question ? You said the Corsair D3 Pump./Res fits ?

[@danhen1966]

Do you mind sharing the length of your cable mod cables for the different connectors?

[@Rettich]

Really enjoying your Meshilicious Vids. I am going to build a similar one in a few days. It'll be my first custom loop and I am going to use softubes with many EK Components. I really want to have this challange of fitting everything in and make it clean-looking. Would love to share it with u when its finished, if u like to ^^

[@MachinesMore]

Good luck! Love to see it!

[@zack9692]

I'm hoping to do a 3080/3080 ti with 5900x build in this case with a 280 rad, just waiting on my time in the evga queue and the Cooler Master v850 sfx white edition

[@watintarnation9801]

Get a pair of Nidec Gentle Typhoons! They are in black/grey color, and low rpm hum is not that annoying.

[@Zd0g119]

Who knew guava juice could cool so well

[@MachinesMore]

🧃You know… it could probably work just fine until it starts fermenting in the loop. Mostly water anyway so juice with solids filtered out would cool well. I don’t want to be the one cleaning that loop though… 😂

[@Zd0g119]

@@MachinesMore Aight, so we can meet in the middle, grape juice. And each loop cleaning u got some homemade wine

[@D90NAS77]

Pretty build :)

[@spektrumB]

With a simple loop like this one, 2500rpm for the DDC will be more than enough. Running it faster won't drop temperature in any significant way. You can test it running the pump at 4500rpm and 2500rpm. I bet the temperature difference will be less than 1C. I consider the DDC very quiet at 2500rpm and below.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

I prefer D5's at higher rpm. Still enough flowrate and sooo much more quiet

[@spektrumB]

@@rickysargulesh1053 If you have a big loop with multiple rad, then yeah, go for the D5. But for a simple loop like that. A DDC at 2500rpm or even 2200rpm will provide more than enough flow rate. A DDC at 2000-2500rpm is more quiet than a Noctua A12x25 at 700rpm.

[@MachinesMore]

Completely agreed, the 3500 is the ceiling I set it to ramp up from 2500, it’s indexed to the coolant temp.

[@ufsteropolstero6014]

Doesn't this setup create additional heat for VRMs etc? I love sff custom loops but I feel like the cost(money and time) benefit is quite limited when you strictly focus on cooling performance. I'd have slapped on an Alphacool pump-block combo and be done with it.

[@lemmerdeur666]

There are solutions - you can jury-rig a 90mm fan at the top to blow air onto the motherboard, or a small 40mm fan in front of the motherboard blowing air directly onto it. SSUPD published 3d print models of fan holders which can be used in other of these solutions.

[@rickysargulesh1053]

4.6 Ghz Allcore is pretty great and good temps under load for GPU and CPU with just a 240. I must be doing something wrong. My 1080ti and 9900k give me coolant temps of 37°C or higher with a 240 and 360 rad

[@ufsteropolstero6014]

That's good news in one way, meaning you're able to get the heat away from the CPU, 9900k being notoriously horrible because of the gunk of a TIM. Also, not all rads and fans are created equal. You should make sure you're getting that heat away from the radiator by testing on some sort of open air setup.

[@MattThatMatters]

cant wait to see something like this with a 4090/13900k

[@jackcapella2707]

280’s are not only more efficient, they are a lot quieter.
