I like it i feel for you threading that copper use some easy tap it will help with it sticking to the tap! copper is so gooey and a pain to thread i broke a few taps trying to do the same thing for some led heat sinks!

It's done now! I know it might be... unnecessary, but I'm sticking 3 memory blocks on the back. I got most of the holes drilled. (A few where the LCD went, I haven't had the patience to measure etc). Tomorrow a few parts are coming so I can measure the rest and order accordingly. Hey we're hear to cool everything in sight!   Even if we don't need to...

Is that tubing small, or does the picture just make it look small?  It looks very neat, I just think I'd have an aneurism worrying about leaks. 

 
That's 13mm OD Tubing (actually it's not Tubing, but Fuel Hose. Build was way more expensive than planned, so I cut cost on the tubing😂)

I really wish there were more backplate-side cooling options available.  Doing a block on both sides of the card would be pretty ridiculous for me, tubing wise, and leak testing that would be beyond scary.

 
It's not too bad. You can see it pretty good and feel it with the Fingertip. 

 
 
 
Also, it's not more tubing, if you hook them up in series. 
 

 
 

Nice one Lord, I take it that is the mp5works series back plate cooler. What is the front plate? If you did it again what would you do differently?

I would probably take a different Brand Block.
 
This one is a Bykski and it's not too bad, but it comes with the wrong thermal pad and without any  instructions.
 
My plan was to go for aquacomputer or watercool. But both companies still haven't finished development on their FTW3 Blocks

Sure thing, what do you think I would need for a radiator with just the front and back of the GPU water cooled, I am running a rather interesting eGPU set up, so only need to cool the card. Would 280x28mm do it or do you think I need to go bigger / deeper?

There is no end. Always go bigger, always go deeper. I attached a $1499 water chiller to mine... I want a phase change. Love the game, never stop, unless you have kids.
 
Or cats...

There is no way for silent operation or low Temps with just 1 280 Rad.
 
I'm topping out with 37 °C water temp with 3x 360x120 slim radiators.
 
But that's with 60% Fan Speed and about 800w pulled from the Wall.
 
With that fan configuration, the gpu reaches shy of 50c and the Junction creeps up to 68c.

Any of yall have any performance benchmarks after cooling the backside of this card? 

Yes

The results are with 100% Fan Speed and open windows

Finally got around to listing this AIO on EBay because I'm tired of waiting on the dude to pay for it.  We shall see what it goes for.  In the mean time I'm seriously considering a X570 build route... very tempted to just order a 5800x and upgrade later when the 5950x comes in to stock at regular price.  But spending ~$900 to then spend another $799+ later is iffy.
 
On the topic of cooling updates, I'm going to let my room level off tonight at a nice even 70F & redo the testing again now that the paste has had time to sit & all that jazz, see what temps we see.
 
Also curious about Cyberpunk numbers, haven't been on that game in about 2-3 weeks, between the crap of dealing with this loop & the CPU block issues & other real life things like my dog passing away, haven't had much time for immersive gaming, and boy could I use a mental get-away right now...

So you're doing really thin pads between the plate & components? Results should be interesting indeed.

All these complaints about hot Temps specifically on the 5800x are making me want to steer clear of it, so for now I'll be waiting on the 5900-5950x to grace us with their presence at MSRP ($549/$799)

 

 
One day early. I will install it later, right now it is time to dumpster some noobs in CSGae.

Nice and clean, well done, looks great.

That's crazy clean I like it! I'm moving in the opposite direction :P I have the fan on the gpu vrm, and that's it o.O
I'd like to move away from it :P Is your ram G.Skill? I have G.skill and someone I know installed the software and it borked everything real hard so I'm sketchy to install it...

I haven't even cleaned it up fully yet, I just wanted to get the lighting controller in there & make sure it worked.
 
Plan is to move 3 X3M fans on to the GPU radiator (as intake) so that looks uniform, and level out the other areas accordingly, get the fans that have the opposite lighting pattern all in the same spot, then tidy up the RGB wiring as much as possible.  Now that I have 4 extensions & the hub, that's a lot easier, because I don't have to worry about running wires all the way to the motherboard's RGB headers.  Instead, I can bundle up the cord "rats nest" that comes off fans, tie it somewhere, then use one of the extensions to run the last "out" of each strand to the hub.
 
I'm just happy I finally have WORKING and CONTROLLED lighting on the CPU block, it looks very nice.
 
And yes, the RAM is G.Skill - I wouldn't use their software if I were you, it's meh.  Sometimes RGB Fusion (Gigabyte Motherboard lighting software) let's me control the lighting on the RAM, sometimes it won't... it's completely random & varies each boot up... if I want to "Have another go" at trying to get control, I have to completely shut down & turn off the PSU then try again.
 
I also have to close RGB Fusion to use EK's lighting control software, but that's not a big deal since now the only things being controlled by Fusion are the motherboard itself's lighting & the RAM sticks (if they show up).  All of the 5V headers are plugged in to the EK Controller now.

This seems perfect and sleek. What you all think? Only $45. It's 120mm long, 80mm wide, 27mm tall. I assume it's loud as it's server hardware but it's PWM fan adjustable. Rated to cool 180 watts. Can set it up so it blows the hot air directly out of the PC. Copper so it sucks heat up quickly and has some sort of vaper chamber technology. No crazy mods needed just plug and play. Just add a lil extra thermal paste so it's 100% covered and your good to go hahhaha!!

FINALLY
 

 
I can control ALL of my lighting... well, except the RAM, those randomly decide whether or not they want to obey commands every time I boot up :-D
 
In addition to the controller, I got a 140mm EK fan for the back/exhaust... set at 900RPM it's dead silent but wow does it still move some air.
 
That's 20... the HDD fan whenever I reinstall it will make 21 :-D lol

Nice looking setup.Nice job with the watercooling.

No PWM control will ever bring a server fan down to desktop PC noise levels but you might be able to swap the fan for something quiet. 

Dabadger84
 
Yep, that's exactly the type of thing I keep seeing in other people's posts about it, and it seems to only be the 5800x that's having the "runs insanely hot unless you undervolt it" or similar stories, like the motherboards are setting voltage too high or something.
 
I also really want the higher core count of the 5900x or 5950x.
 
If anyone has access to a microcenter & is willing to sell me a 5900x or 5950x, I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee for your troubles.  I already pretty much locked down that I'm getting this motherboard: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T5QFXFY/ because of it's massive amount of USB ports, included M.2 card ($60-$100 value), right angle 24-pin plug, and other things I like about it.
 
Edit: Am I crazy for seriously considering buying a 3950x for a temporary CPU? lol
 
Edit 2: now that I think about it, given 5800x's are reselling for ~$400 on EBay, might as well just get one of those as a temporary CPU, or something else that's on the cheaper end... just something to get the system up & running.  Might get a 3000-series to where I won't have BIOS issues that might be the case with a 5000-series.  I don't mind the temporary hit in gaming performance since in the long run I'll be getting a net-positive in that aspect once I have a 5900x/5950x.

If it's just for temporary purposes, the 5600x games quite well. you can get a new one (not off ebay lol) for $344.95 on Amazon right now. Delivered three days from now if I order in the next 8 hours lol.
