Want that case
go buy it
Does Caselabs offer a horizontal motherboard tray in HPTX size?
That thing makes even HAF X look like a mid case. Death Star quality.
can it run crysis?
makes my 800D look puny

i think mountain mods do
Stern
1) make custom backplates
2) make custom resovior
3) make custom waterblocks for everything, like HDD cooling!
Performance is about as good as it gets, but there is some refinement in the mounting system needed. Considering this is their first block produced and its not only keeping up but lower in restriction than the other blocks says a lot! Overall, I see it as a block with a ton of work and emphasis put into the design and quality of the block itself. That 5Noz is something very special and its very refreshing to see a design done very differently from the norm that also performs extremely well.
you can say that againThe TX10 makes EATX look like a MITX lol.
you can say that again
and HDD cooling will be cool, hopefully itll make your hdd last longer
Haha, it actually might not - I read somewhere that 45 deg C is optimum for HD's, too hot or too cold and their life expectency goes down. I might be misinformed though.
if hes cooling his memory with liquid, might as well with his hdd as wellThis is generally true. HDD (along with memory cooling) with liquid is for looks.

True - but memory will still improve it's overclockability with cooling. Maybe the effect is only 1MHz, but it doesn't hurt it. If lowering the temps on the HDs too much does hurt it, it may actually be bad. Would be cool though. I really like the idea of watercooling a PSU also
Differences are miniscule. If your memory produces errata at n temp and not at n minus five (Centigrade) then clocks/timings are too close to absolute maximum for error free computation.
Like I said previously it's gingerbread. I've even stripped "performance" memory down to bare PCB so it would fit under a big cooler and its o/c ability was absolutely unchanged. Still not convinced, I scanned it with FLIR and found its operating temperature marginally warmer than with heat spreaders!
Mechanical disks are designed to run with ambient cooling or forced (active) cooling if packed tightly together in a mobile rack. If they are run close to ambient in cooler (sub 20C) conditions they may experience issues. Consequently if they are run in conditions where their surface (average) temperature is frequently higher than 50C it could be detrimental. Since most cooling loops are underpowered and water temps frequently rise ten degrees C over ambient water cooling plates on hard disks provide little threat to running too low of a surface temperature.
Like memory the "benefit" is technical appearance only. The cons are increased circuit backpressure and resultant lower flows for said circuit. It's also another point of failure with fittings, o-rings, faulty coatings, etc.
That is an insane amount of typhoons. If you ONLY need 14 out of that box, what are you doing with the rest?
Been enjoying this thread. Per your CPU block choices and wanting full metal; XSPC has a fully metal version of the Ray Storm.

It's arguably one of the best CPU blocks out there (I have one ) I got about 2-4C temp improvements over an EK Supreme HF I had before this one. Had to return the EK for a refund due to nickel plating coming off.
Just putting it out there if you are set on an all metal block.
