Scratch Build – In Progress Parvum Systems Project Magnus - 19th April - i51 LAN

Quick pop in - Ah man, those RAD's, fans and the braiding, not forgetting the the tubing and fitting work.

Keep it up, builds really coming along bud!

 

So didn't actually even test it myself until this morning. Hooked the 4 fans up to a controller in the roof and ran at max speeds. These are only 10,000 fans. But my results are they couldn't be quieter? Like probably the quietest 120mm fans I've ever used.... I'm not sure if this means I'm except from the problem but it seems that way. I'm thinking it could be to do with the AX series rads? Not so much the fin spacing perhaps but more than external housing giving you a fair bit more space between the fan blades and the fins? I'm not sure if this is effecting performance or if they are even pulling much air but there are certainly no audible issues what so ever.

I did read a bunch of people commenting on threads saying they aren't having a single issue so I'm pretty lost here I guess...

Haha look guys I'll keep a crate of red stripe in the car and leave it unlocked ;D

Honestly mate. Super stoked for LAN and super stoked on the fans. Really great and I'm actually not seeing this fan thing as a problem at the moment at least.

Thanks for popping in mate going to try install some more radiators today! woop!

 

Red Stripe? Red Stripe, c'mon man, I don't drink lager

 

Great.........more for me then

 

Hahah you are welcome to it man!

 

Going by what the fan guys on OCN are saying,its a noise thing and it loses speed,it could well be that the AX design gets around this.
Either way,if they are working fine then its not an issue.

You ran them on the rads i take it?

Yeah tested on the rads in the roof. Literally dead silent and I honestly think it is due to the AX design. I'll test on a traditional radiator and report back. I'd like to hope in a way they make a bunch of noise so I can at least be sure they are performing well on the AX.

I'm a happy camper if it's as easy and not making any changes

 

Those fans look lovely, nice work on the sleeving.

 

Need to make sure we all get out of the place for a few hours and smash a good curry or something this LAN. Always get the LAN lurgy spending 5 days in that place haha.

Thank you George! Pexon is to take that compliment ^^

 

No decent curry places around here though man, there are a few nice places in Shrewsbury however, could get a taxi down there

 

Coolmiester knows a good place 10 mins drive away,its like the guys front room.

Good curry too

 

Well then it's sorted. for anyone not interested in our dinner plans there will be a nice update tomorrow !

 

For sure Justin..........i can’t exactly remember where it was but been there a few times and it was the taxi drivers nephews uncles half brother that owned the place so we’re sorted

 

They are all related

 

MORE RADS MORE FANS

HOLD UP...! ITS TIME AGAIN!!!

Going straight in with some adjustments to the white bottom chamber. Cable management was impossible to be clear when we did the drawing for Magnus as we really had no idea what we even going into the build. In turn however this gives a really nice and easy 'hands on' way to planwhat changes we want to make.

The old:



The NEW:



As with all cases Magnus is fully modular. It makes making changes like these a lot less stressful. Unscrew and slide the new panel in place:



New panel in and with the addition of two new cubes (you'll see what these are for shortly) and better cable holes:



More changes and this time on the bottom black panel. By using the technical drawing on the XSPC website we managed achieve this first time:





Time to install more of these beautiful fans:




A mirror now of the top chamber connections. Connecting the two rads together with acrylic tube:



Two more new cubes. These will correspond to the two I mentioned earlier:



This little frosted guy will be doing the work between the four cubes:



Installed:




Entire panel installed in the bottom of the case now:



The purpose of the frosted panel will become clear now. It basically acts much like the mid wall does in the body of the case and provides much needed extra strength. We did this as the rads are heavy even before they get filled with coolant. If you are wondering why frosted and not black. Frosted acrylic is in much less demand at work & this part of the case wont be visible:




Now you can see what the new cable management holes are for. All falling into place well:



Last for today we install the fifth and final 240mm radiator into the system:



The clearance and fit we are very happy with. Had people mention vibration issues from the fans/rads touching panels like this but had no issues in previous builds and no sound problems upon test run:




So we did get a bit more done on the build but no more time for Photoshop today so will end it here.

Love it? Hate it? Ideas? or even just want to show some love; VERY WELCOME!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!!

 

WTH man!

Let me breath, all this kit, its sooooooooo lovely and the builds coming along so well.

I need to sit down.

 

Oh dear, this is just to good, lovely build.

 

Thank you both! Had a great short weekend of rest and looking forward to making some solid progress this week

 

This is whack mate!

 

The way you mounted those rads.. I love it! Looking very sweet, this build!
