thanks for the video EK. A discrepancy I noticed in the linked shopping list, however, mentions you need 10x EK-Quantum Torque HDC 14 fittings. You actually need a total of 12 fittings. Also, in the video it is not mentioned that the bracket for the side rad needs to be rotated. Discovered this as I was building my PC..
@Patrick-kd3qzАй бұрын
found out the hard way about rotating the bracket too while doing my build. to help clarify to anyone else reading this, you need to rotate it 180 degrees, not flip/turn it around. if you look carefully in the video at 2:58, you can see the square holes on the left side of the bracket visible (normally those are on the right side)

Doing the math and the fact i physically have the case it should fit Using the P420 rads. But just, depending on the fans you add it might not. However, if your happy to use S420 Rads you will have plenty of room for tubes over the top of it.

Beautiful build, congratulations! But why you ant to push the hot air from the vertical/back radiator inside the case? it make no sense to me...
@prototypep42 ай бұрын
Because in this type of system that hot air isn't really affecting anything. Also with that much radiator surface area it's not going to run very hot at all even under load. Temps are unlikely to ever go about 65. Having the side rad as intake keeps a lot better positive pressure inside the case to avoid dust settling. Same way I plan on doing it, bottom and side intake, top and a rear 120 as exhaust. Except I'm doing pushpull on the side rad, and my build is white. Just ordered the distro plate, waiting on all the info on Intels new socket and Ryzen 9000 series cpus before I buy the big stuff. The loop can be pretty much built entirely before any of that.

Unfortunately the P420 will not align vertically with the ports on the distro if you flip the tray around and mount it recessed into he side chamber.

Can you do a push pull config on those radiator or no
@the_cursor3 күн бұрын
My build uses EK radiators and Lian Li fans: Top: P420M with fans, rests on the EPS cables. Absolutely no room for push-pull there. Side: P420M _can_ do push-pull but the fans will interfere with the side radiator fittings and tubes. Also, the top and bottom radiators will block half of the top and bottom fans on the side radiator. Bottom: X420M with fans, reaches the bottom of the motherboard. No room there, either. You should be able to do push-pull if you use slim radiators and slim fans (I've seen some 140mm fans at a svelte 15.5mm thick on Amazon). Or, you can move the motherboard up or down. Of course, that will negate the advertised benefits of Matrix7 and you will either buy a bunch of extenders or start bending tubes.

Is it normal and/or safe if there is a ~1mm gap between the distro plate and the "screw wheel" of the Push-In fittings (I'll call it "screw wheel" since I'm not sure what that part is called, I mean the thing you turn when you screw it into the 90° Rotary)? On my build it won't go further into the distro plate for some reason and I've aligned the top and bottom P420M radiators and fittings exactly like you did in the video. I used the EK Leak Tester on the loop and it hasn't lost pressure for an hour so far, but I'm wondering if it's safe to have that tiny 1mm gap in there or if it could leak over time. I'd assume it should be safe since the O-Rings are inside the distro plate and the big "screw wheel" of the push-in fitting doesn't have another O-Ring, but I'm not sure. It's hard to say from the video if you also have a small gap, in some angles it looks that way, in some it doesn't.

But I have 2 360mm radiators and 1 420mm. are they able to run the same setup with connections and still get it to work? and when it comes to the CPU block. If you don't have an EK block, do the parts end up in the same place or are they different from manufacturer to manufacturer? Thanks for a great video and a really nice build
@EKWBofficial9 ай бұрын
Hey! That's an awesome case you just bought! Sadly, the 360mm radiators won't fit the case (without modification) due to O11D EVO XL’s asymmetric mounting pattern, but luckily you've already got one 420mm radiator that you can easily mount inside the case without altering it! The ports on the 360 radiators are separated by the same distance as the 420mm versions meaning they can be connected to the distro plate in the same manner, but you would have to modify the mounting tray to mount them in the middle of it. While can only guarantee that our own blocks' ports end up in specific locations, we offer a wide array of offset fittings which are just the thing you need to achieve straight tube runs with minimal hassle.
