Description

Thank you for the feature PCPP

Hello PCPP Community,

Back in July 2017, I embarked on a challenge to do a custom water cooled loop inside the Fractal Node 202, dubbed Project BBIRD. There were a lot of parts of the build I knew I could do better, including panelling work, window and the water cooling loop itself.

The Build

More than 1 year later, DeeBee Xtreme aims to take the Node 202 build a step further. Featuring the following:

-Full custom loop with a 240mm radiator + a pair of 25mm thick corsair 120mm maglev fans cooling both a 6 core Ryzen CPU & A full fat GTX 980Ti using EKWB Supremacy EVO CPU/GPU blocks.

-Temperature Sensor for liquid temp build into the loop/motherboard.

-Full RGB lighting on both motherboard and case

-Dedicated fill and drain T-block ports (One at top of case and one at bottom)

-Hand cut and assembled hi-quality acrylic window with black bordering + green anodised thumbscrew mounting mechanism.

-Hand cut/stencilled vinyl artwork for outer shell of case.

Watercooling Loop Setup

The build was indeed challenging as there is limited space within the node 202. To make it all possible the loop consisted of:

-10/13mm soft tubing was along with plenty of EK 90 rotaries/10/13mm ACF fittings.

-EK SPC MX60 Pump

-Corsair 120mm Maglev fans

-XSPC 240mm Radiator

-EK Titan X GPU Block with 90 degree rotary terminals

-EK Supremacy EVO AM4 Acetal Block

The GPU compartment still has an extra 20-30mm to spare, which means the newer RTX 2080Ti and EK RTX 2080/Ti blocks with built in RGB can fit no problem for potential future upgrades.

The Mess Ups

When filling the loop, I did run into the misfortune of spilling the coolant all over the motherboard, this took me over 4 days to clean up using Electronic grade 99.997% Isopropyl Alcohol but alas the motherboard and components were still working.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I am very happy with the progress of successfully implementing a complete full watercooling loop inside the Node 202 case. This was a challenge well worth it.

Any questions or comments, feel free to post below and I will answer when I can.

Thanks for checking my build out!

  • 6 years 6 months ago

It's a very nice build, we drooled over it at work for a few minutes and had a long discussion about builds after the day was over.

The Ryzen chips have had a few of us really excited the last year, it's great to see artistic approaches to chip architecture as well as building hardware. Your rig compliments a lot of the finer points of technology I think, it's great.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

I do agree that the Ryzen based platform is really intriguing, especially the budget line up. They have all the features normally found on high end motherboards.

Thanks again :)

poINtblank213
  • 6 years 6 months ago

I have a basic build in one of these cases, and that was hard enough.. I have no idea how you were able to fit the rad, fans, and gpu, in that compartment. BRAVO! Now that I know it's possible, I might give something like this a go in the future.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Haha thanks :)

A lot of measuring and planning was done so that only the right components with the right dimensions were used. If you need further information on the node 202, feel free to ask :)

HiResJunky
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Amazing itx build mad respect!

How are the temps under full load. Is one 240mm enough to cool both?

I'm in the process of attempting to do a full custom loop CPU & GPU in the InWin A1! Using XSPC's new ultra slim 240 and 120 Rads. Man o man is it tight, just waiting on a 1080ti mini water block from china. Aliexpress slowest shipping ever!!!

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Thanks :)

So far i have kept both CPU and GPU running at stock speeds, and temps are looking great as expected from a watercooled system. Idle temps 27C CPU, 25C GPU, fan speeds 500RPM, and under gaming load 48C CPU, 42C GPU, fan speeds 1200RPM. Ambient 20C.

I usually find that 120mm per component to suffice so long as the fan speeds are tweaked to suit different load scenarios. More radiator in my opinion just allows me to run fans at super low RPM. However, Maglevs are inaudible at 500RPM and a gentle hum that can be easily blocked out with earphones at 1200+RPM.

Hi Jetlag,

I build PCs mainly for fun as a hobby during my holiday periods. These PCs are used from time to time for small purposes such as work at home related tasks, but not as my daily driver, and mainly for show/secondary backup. As new ideas become available, depending on how much I like each build, parts may be cannibalised to be used towards the new builds.

Shhiiieeeettttt, I could barley do a custom loop in an inwin 301 and you got one inside an even smaller node 202? You are a godly modder!

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Thanks for the support :) im sure its just as difficult with the 301, i had an opportunity to tinker with the node in my previous build so it was easier knowing what will work and/or fit this time around.

Ozjeh
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Shut the front door! Holy cow :D this is by far the best node 202, build I have ever seen. I have built 5 different game pc's in this case and that where normal builds. Every time I took me a lot of effort getting it right. So I can only imagine what kind of hell you went true the get here, made respect!

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Haha thanks for the support! =)

Yeah the first time working in the Node 202 was a learning curve (the 2017 build). This time around, it was still a challenge, but it did go smoother then expected (other than that coolant spillage, courtesy of my own mistake).

ghostness
  • 6 years 6 months ago

I absolutely love this build, great job! I just finished building my Node 202 with the Ryzen 2700 and a 1080 ti Strix. Looking to create basically this setup to water cool the system as right now it's a loud toaster! I was wondering a bit more about how the T-fittings were set up and if you're using filler ports. Basically - how can I avoid the spill you made? Also, how many fittings do you have in the end (90 degree ones, straight ones, e.t.c.)? How much fluid fits in your loop? Hope to create something at least as efficient as your build!

I'm looking to be able to easily travel with mine so being able to fill/empty should be quite easy.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Hi, thanks for taking interest.

First off the spill was purely my fault as I was being impatient with the filling using a t-block.

There is exactly 15x90 degree fittings (not including the 2 from the GPU block terminal) and 1x 3 way T Block, 1x 4 way X block, 1 straight rotary, 1 extender and 14 soft tube fittings.

About 250mL of coolant give or take was required.

Any more questions let me know

ghostness
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Thanks for the answer, exactly what I'm looking for! I see you used the extender on the upper radiator to get the bend right. Is it the 12 mm one?

I think another thing I am curious of is if you think the EK-CoolStream SE 240 Radiator would have fit without obstructing the front IO ports? With the slim Noctua fans.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

It would fit (although there will be quite a bit of pressure pushed onto the front usb 3.0 cables).

Also you will need to supply your own radiator screws for 15mm based fans.

And there may be a slight performance hit due to lower SP from the slim fans.

ghostness
  • 6 years 6 months ago

According to the overclockers.net review of the noctua nf-a12x15 fan, it seems to perform quite well compared to 25mm fans when used with radiators, although it is a very good point. I hadn't thought of the screw situation either. I think I will go with the slimmer radiator so I have the possibility of changing the fans if the performance is lacking.

Thanks for your thoughts, I'll be sure to share the results!

Zambacan
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Great job. Did you make the surrounding part that the clear acrylic panel mounts to? If so how and how is that surround secured to case frame?

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Hi Zamba,

You can read the build log link in description for more details.

Basically, the Node 202 has 4 holes when the metal panel is removed, those holes were modified as to allow the Bitspower thumbscrews to be used to mount the clear acrylic panel.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

Zambacan
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Thanks OK so you modified the existing holes rather than making a completely new mounting piece.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

All good =)

Zambacan
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Also I notice you have opted for soft tubing. Could you have chosen hard tube or would that have made it too tricky to get everything to lineup. I would love to have a go doing something like this.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

I would say it is probably possible to do with hard line when I was assembling the parts.

However, I personally would not do it without serious modifications to the case structure itself to accommodate for the bends. The build internals are also not water cooling friendly in its standard factory form, and getting the bends in would be frustrating. Hardline tubing would also make it a nightmare to disassemble/service in the future as it would get in the way.

If you'd still like to try hard line, go for it =) would love to see the final result =)

Zambacan
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Thank you. I have never done any kind of water cooling let alone hardline. I can imagine how difficult in would be in this case. It sounds too difficult for me. I would be curious to know what you feel the biggest compromises are with such a build. I see two: getting enough air through the radiator (based on your temps that doesn't seem to be a problem) and physical space for storage (without paying a lot for large m.2).

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Probably storage as you said, although there are 2 m.2 ssd slots on the motherboard and m.2 sata ssd are almost the same price as regular ssd, so it probably won't be an issue.

Otherwise, I don't see any compromises as I purposely designed this build to have all the features of a regular mid tower build. Its got RGB, wifi, front & rear audio, front & rear usb ports, can run high end cpu/gpu overclocked, good cooling.

Radiator actually gets a lot of airflow as the fans intake fresh air directly into the radiator, and you can use any standard dual 120mm high static pressure fans.

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Zambacan
  • 6 years 6 months ago

Ok thank you. Really impressed.

Bee66
  • 6 years 6 months ago

EdInk
  • 6 years 4 months ago

How did you manage to install rad+fans without issues from the power socket?

Bee66
  • 6 years 4 months ago

Hi EdInk,

The power socket has been moved outwards by another 5mm using standoffs.

This gives clearance for the radiator + fans.

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

EdInk
  • 6 years 4 months ago

Excellent.. I was considering cutting out a new slot for it.

Is there clearance for a slim (15mm) 120/140 mm fan above the CPU block? I was thinking one may fit to provide some cool air for vrms and M.2 ssd heatsink.

Bee66
  • 6 years 4 months ago

No, there is barely a few mm to the side panel from the CPU waterblock fittings.

You can however, fit a 40/60mm fan above or below the CPU waterblock.

nenja487
  • 6 years 4 months ago

This answered the EXACT question I had. Awesome work and thank you! My only debate now is specific GPU. I'm concerned about card height (e.g. Gigabyte or ZOTAC 1080 Minis).

My biggest question would be whether temps justify this over just air. Have you tried both?

Bee66
  • 6 years 4 months ago

I wouldn't have been able to test it against air, but temps on water are really good.

I wouldn't justify watercooling the node 202 for the average user, this project was done more for fun and to see the limits.

Bronstet
  • 6 years 4 months ago

Amazing modding in this case! I'd be terrified to try a custom soft loop inside a Node 202.

Okay, after having this for a while, you've never posted the temperature averages. I don't really expect any extreme numbers, especially if you maybe undervolted your gpu.

Also, this is a dope *** pc and this is something that I want to do in the future. I see you used an nvme ssd for your storage, was there any space for say a 2.5? I think this doesn't need answering, but the curiosity in me got to me.

tocsa
  • 2 years 1 month ago

I thought that it's a bad design if the water block is the highest point of the water system. Bubbles eventually propagate there. It may just decrease cooling performance, but if it's an AIO or the pump is there as well it can degrade the pump. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm thinking of a water build and I'll have to flip the case upside down, so the mobo (along with the CPU water block) would be at the bottom for this reason.

Scratch that. I see this is a custom water system and the GPU is water cooled too. Where is the radiator? If it is next to the mobo then where is the PSU?

EDIT: wait, could it be some AI enhancing camera app that modern phones seem to have?

i'm going to have to be 'that guy' to recommend against photoshopping depth blur, it can get distracting (also a bit awkward that the first pic has it, yet the second pic is natural)

if the camera has controls for aperture, lower the F/number to get the depth effect out of the lens

other than that, build looks pretty tight (maybe i'm a bit concerned about that one tube having poking pressure from a PCB)
