thanks, very interesting indeed =) I've seen them used in some builds, but never took some time to dive more into what they actually offer =)

I love the aquaero - i have one of these at home too, it is crazy cool.
On my setup pump speed seems to do precious little compared to fan speed, so i have my pump just set to tick over at 1/2 RPM (if that).
Another cool thing is you can get the aquaero to interface with openhardwaremonitor so you can drive fan RPM off things like CPU temp (although that fluctuates a lot so it's a little bit all over the place for driving fan RPM). You can also display these temps from openhardwaremonitor on the devices screen, just like it does with it's own temperature sensors.

The build is almost done (I need to reduce some pump vibrations over 'shitty' 900D case - way too small - too short - no room for push pull on the beauty 65mm AMS radiator on the top, too narrow with poor cable management space on the back, too shallow - no room for the third fan in front when a lower rad is mounted, terrible design, a foolish hard to remove top cover with a dust filter, lack of access to screws for gpus, cheap thin metal material, terrible plastic mounts for hdds, no mount for an ssd at the back, weak hinges on both sides of the lower chamber, way too expensive for what you get). Sorry guys but I don't see any positive side of 900D for water. If caselabs s8 for 4 gpus costs 350$ (up to 500$) this is a masterpiece compared to very low quality, cheap, shitty 900D

What is good - Zs are working so cool, 45C OC at 1250 MHz on core (I didn't test OC for memory - locked in MSI Afterburner). But in 900D and effective WC there is no more room for extra rads for more than 4 gpus (2x Zs).

I'll upload photos soon.

hehe =) good points with 900D..it's far from perfect, just good enough option for those who think that You don't need to spend for case.. =) in the end, as they say, You get what You pay..- Case Labs is on different level for sure!

Great performance at those temps =) Guess those fans on AMS rads are whispering silent (how fast You run them under load?) Love routing - clean lines! (see where from You got the inspiration =p) simply beautiful work, Sebastian!

Thanks Tom,

Yes - the fans are dead silent, under 1000RPMs, which is enough for 2x Zs. But the thin metal transfers way too much vibrations from the pumps over the case - I must come up with something to ease Piotrek's ears

It is a beauty! Very inspirational.
Thanx for sharing

You started this thread with going for PSU: Corsair AX1500i.
Is that what you ended up with?
When running, can you let know the actual (peak) draw?

again, very tasteful build.

greetz,

Yes - the PSU remains the same. But if I were to choose amongst best PSU I'd go definitely with the one I bought for Yam 2x Titans X - SuperFlower titanium 1600W - this is much better crafted PSU, better materials, eco/auto switch, and best power efficiency and greatly priced. Unfortunately I didn't measured power consumption. But within days I'll visit Piotrek and do some more tests.
