EKWB M.2 NVME HEATSINK

I want to use my DIMM.2 module and set the M.2 SSD into it. But motherboard has a M2-heatkins, but DIMM.2 hasn't...
Thats why I bought the EKWB M.2 NVME Heatsink fom my 1Tb Samsung 970 Pro M.2 NVME SSD

I have set 3x360 radiators front panel of the case, got some new stuff


















Got new Power supply: Super Flower LEADEX 1600W Titanium!

 

Some photos of the motherboard with 9900X, 64Gb of TridentZ 4200Mhz 19-19-19-38 1.4V RAM, EKWB and DIMM.2 module with Samsung 9700 Pro 1Mb with EKWB:












Hardware...


One of my fittings box (I have 7 of them, and more than 90 Bitspower fittings), custom sleevs, SLI fittings

RGB setup for my table and monitors on the wall (I will control all of this from my iPhone)

 

Guys, I think that it would be a good idea to sleeve all tube in black! Like all other stuff in this build

 

Project was renamed to "[HYDRA]: Classified"

 

It has begun!!! (c) Mortal Kombat movie

Eventually I received my case from metal work:



And some additional stuffs for it (metal addons, some fittings, cables, screws, cable organizing stuffs)












And RGB light for my table and monitors:


The [HYDRA] case:









Upper panel:




See you)

 

Table RGB-test + Front radiators testing + Assemble the Pedestal with my huge 2x TFC MONSTA Extreme Edition radiators

Here you some rgb behind the table and monitors


Separate cell phone for RGB-light Wi-Fi control:


I decided to change the tubes configuration on the front 3x360mm radiators:


Let's do some leak tests:



And fan connection power tests:



Let's assemble the Pedestal

Ok, let's start from huge 2x TFC MONSTA Extreme




Let's free the Pedestal and assemble it from the beginning















Want to see some comments from you guys)

 

Pedestal video, entire HYDRA-case without hardware yet. Hardware will be inside very soon!

Video of MAX fan's rpm and comfort rpm sounds
Disclamer: I am not a video blogger, not a streamer! I don't have good mic, and iPhone can't record noise properly! In real life the fans noise is MUCH more quite!!! And in comfort mode (600-1200rpm) the noise is in comfort.
SORRY FOR RUSSIAN in video. Its for my friends. See the RPM on fan controller!


THIS IS IT! The HYDRA case with Pedestal. But without from panel. I want to redo some things on it)




And this is case on my huge custom table with my triple monitor (27+43+27 inches) setup (without final cable management of course) - just for understanding of the size (1010mm!!!)



Just nice photo

 

The building is continuous!

I changed the 3x360 radiators tubes connection configuration!
ONE 3pin connector controls ALL 18x 120mm fans via Lamptron FC5v2 (it has a 30W per channel)








I created a Hydra sticker for m y PSU (it was inverted tech specs there... not pretty, ist it?), and now it looks great







Lets set this front panel to its place! Everithing is fit well






But not Koolance RP452x2... It's too long for this case 5.25 back panel...





And I have too cut this back panel to fit RP452x2 in dual 5.25 section






See you next time)

 

EK-RES X3 400mm Reservoir fits wonderful in HYDRA case

Look at photos

Ok guys, let's sleeve our pumps cable. I have 3x D5, so lets go!







And now its time to start assebmle the motherboard with all [CPU+ EKWB Monoblock + RAM] on it







Let's add the SLI





And combine)

 

MORE RGB FANS!!!

 

RGB control, cable management and custom Hydra-grill for front panel of the case and side panels of pedestal...






3D-Grills from 2mm alluminim. I will set them on mycase via magnets!

 

I have to wonder what 42 fans are going to sound like under load. Indoor hurricane?

 

No, Its quite. I can control all of fans sectors via fan controller
