This hobby can be really annoying sometimes. I'd also be left with a bunch of useless fittings which weren't cheap. Of course then I'd have to sell my EK Quantum D5 + top combo and the distro and that perhaps wouldn't be a big deal if I could post to sell on this site but I of course lack the rep. There's a possibility I say screw it and either use the EK combo or just get a new res tube in clear color and a new EK pump for my existing Monsoon setup since the current one has been running a decent while. I'm getting my fittings this weekend and I guess I'll have drain and remove my 2080Ti and stick it in to help me nail down exactly how the runs will go. ![]() Not being able to get my hands on a 3080Ti is really f'ing this entire process up. I actually ordered the EK quantum kinetic 300 res/pump combo just in case, as it's a free return if unused. The more I try to envision runs with this distro, the more I realize how much easier it would be to just to reuse most of my current setup with a new res tube and maybe new pump or pump-res combo, then essentially make the metal tubes mirror the current runs. The straight "I" shaped one, the water channels are the dumbest setup, the whole 4 individual rads thing isa bit stupid to me. Which barrow plate did you end up going with? I don't really like the big L Shaped one but the water channels actually make sense on it. I have a feeling the piece your guy was referring too is the square adapter, if you look at say a P7 Distro plate, it runs a D5 and the plate looks like a similar drilled hole/adapter setup, im guessing hes talking about that but as said, i literally havn't found a single place to buy one. I just wonder if those 2 holes are threaded holes, so if you remove the square adapter plate you could just screw in a couple fittings and away you go. Thats why i liked the Bykski one, but that damn pump! I've been enquiring about how to use an external pump (some ad's say you can use one no problem but no info on HOW to use one.)įrom close examination of the all photo's ive been able to find of any of the Bykski Distros with DDC pumps, it seems like theres 2 holes drilled in the plate, then a square adapter plate overtop of them, then the pump mounts into that (and lines up with the inlet/outlet holes). Just so many ideas coming to me and tough because I need to preserve the powder coat so I don’t really have the ability to do much trial and error.Įdit: here's what I was talking about with the P7 chassis joining the top of the P5.Ĭlick to expand.Which barrow plate did you end up going with? I don't really like the big L Shaped one but the water channels actually make sense on it. So far this build is going nowhere fast, lol. ![]() Then I can mount another rad horizontally to that and things above it. ![]() Large enough nuts and bolts should be fine. ![]() I also had a few beers and thought about taking one of the P7 side chassis, turning it horizontal and mounting it to the top of the P5 with a slight front bias to make sure I don’t prevent the back panel from coming off. Looks like I just need longer m4.0 screws to go through the back of inside fans.Īlso not sure about the wiring for the front case panel being in the way of the top fan, though I have never actually used any of the front panel ports because that side of the case is right up against the wall and I removed the circuit board prior to powder coating so could literally just leave it off and forget it altogether. It just performs well and I don’t particularly need to buy a new rad. I’m thinking of going push/pull and also having the pull fans inside the case instead of 4 fans on either side of the rad on the outside, otherwise it becomes very thick up front and will create more work going into the distro plate which defeats the purpose of the distro making runs easier.
