Is this right angle thing a meme?

Are people actually implying that the slightly extra amount (possibly) of energy required from your pump to push fluid around a right angle in a closed loop has an effect on cooling?

>>59453359
Actual technology and quality. Not some guy's paracord wire job.
>>59453368
A right angle in plumbing is not slight. One single right angle may not be a problem. Most of these PCs have 8 or more right angles in their loop. That's a huge increase of resistance.

It's an aesthetic at the cost of performance. This largely do to ignorance of how water resistance is increased in a loop.

What the fuck does this mean?

Just because YOU associate clear side panels and flashy lights with shitty 90s era tech, doesn't mean current cases are anything like that.

RGB LEDs are low power, and last for fucking ever, not to mention can sync up to your system audio or any number of other effects you want to do.

Further, clear side panels USED to be acrylic or plexi, these days nicer side panels are tempered glass.

>>59453522
There's actually nothing worth shitting on in this post, LEDs can be used for good as long as they aren't just obnoxiously spammed all over the place with no rhyme nor reason.

>>59453522
What performance benefit does RGB add? OH right none. Nice tech.
>>59453521
Called spoken English you fat cunt.

>>59453424
You aren't creating much of a pressure loss per right angle in a WC loop. The loops themselves are too short for it to be of a concern. Maybe if people were putting in 800 right angle you'd have a point.

>>59453548
Do you not realize that you can buy cases without this shit if that's all that triggers you?

You joking right? This hasn't been a major concern since the early 2000s. Get with the times, modern pumps are far more efficient.

There are four major kinds of minimalism.

- I'm a weirdo asian fuck in a turtleneck living in a featureless concrete bunker. Also, I don't exist outside of interior design magazines.
- I'm Patrick Bateman and my idea of furniture is having a variety of surfaces to sniff cocaine from.
- I'm roleplaying Patrick Bateman. Sometimes seen in /bsg/. I own a mac, expensive audio system, a large block of wood in place of a table and a single, tiny anemic cactus. I don't need anything else in my life - except for your approval, of course.
- I'm roleplaying the guy roleplaying Patrick Bateman. I'm always seen in /bsg/. I don't quite get this minimalism thing, but I heard it's classy. I've got a lot of posters of stupid movies and video games, but they're nice and framed, so nobody can call me a manchild. I've got a fuckhuge mousepad, shiny gamer mouse and lots of LEDs around because, as I said, I don't really get this thing. So can we talk about my anime figurines yet?

OP's case is the fourth category.

I'll be using a G-Unique + modded brick for a 3570K and 1060SC though.
If it's because it's cheating, it's just relocatable volume.

Use your head, OP.

>>59454675
The case is 3.24L, the brick is .85L. (~4.1L)
That's signifigantly smaller than a lot of other cases, especially ones with external PSU's like the S4 mini I'm in now.
The only thing close is the Hutzy XS, but that uses a flex ATX PSU which tend to have noisy fans. Personally I'd prefer to use a brick over a flex ATX psu.

Yes. And what does that have to do with me saying that an SFX PSU provides enough power for virtually everyone's needs and there is no need for a "normal PSU" aka an ATX?

>>59456835
I'm not disputing your point about SFX, but I don't see how it's a response to the other anon's comment, either, without knowing what he meant. As I said, what he meant by a "normal" PSU is ambiguous.

>Why does anyone need a case significantly wider than the 5.25" bay drive or 5.9" ATX PSU width?
Full size tower coolers, oversized video cards (which are increasingly common), and cable management behind the motherboard are a few reasons I can think of.

>>59456901
He said he'd rather have "room for anormal PSU". It's obvious that "normal PSU" meant ATX. That's what everyone means there.
I said regular PSUs are more than anyone needs, so room for an SFX is enough.

>>59458273
Water cooling on small cases actually has a greater effect compared to large ones.

Those small cramped cases always have terrible thermals.
With water cooling, you get to push the heat directly out of the case instead of fans pushing air a few inches away against some holes in a side panel.

>>59458344

I am intrigued by these custom tiny cases. Too lazy and unprepared to try and make one myself but I get the feeling you could make one of these that is not just small and sexy but also has better airflow/cooling than regular cases.

>>59453483
Shrouds to direct airflow to specific regions.
Chassis intrusion.
SATA/SAS backplanes for hot-swappable hard drive caddies.
Extenders in general (i.e. PCI-e risers)
High power PWM fan controllers.
Built-in uninterruptible power supplies.
Modularity.

There's all kinds of shit you can find in boutique server hardware that you can add onto a consumer case for improved quality of life.

>>59458370
I doubt it.
Most fans are designed for high CFM, low static pressure.
In practice, this means that for proper airflow, they require a lot of empty space to operate properly.
In the case of that particular image, the creator would have been better served with a blower fan. Loud, but they have very high static pressure, which would ensure that air would properly get blasted through those tiny fins and out of the case.
In fact, you will find that all laptop fans are actually blower fans.

>>59458344
Na I get how small it is.

I'm not that Anon, but personally, I like cases that are compact, a just-as-big-as-they-need-to-be size, but that "it needs to be" size includes enough space for either 2 140mm radiators, or a 120mm and 120x240mm one, and a SFX PSU.

I think it's silly how many different cases there are that basically fit nothing but an ITX motherboard, but look much too stupid to be placed in a living room, and how there are only one or two decent mATX caes.

There are plenty of simple, even minimalistic cases and components to choose from when building a computer.

My friends and I do a LAN once a year or more, and more frequently do something we call a mini LAN. usually one or two of us goes to someone else's house with their second LAN party PC that's more compact. Hell I just had one last night with my best friend and gf. Best friend brought over his compact Lan box and GF used my second box. I used my main build and we fucked around in Astroneer and Gmod

It's still a thing bro get better friends.

There would no way to pass the tubes between the two sides because of how the case is built though.

>>59466725
My employer bought me a Dell workstation and the 3.5" HDD slots required proprietary adapter rails. I didn't check the other parts but I assume, as you said, the mobo and the PSU are also proprietary.

Other than that, it was a solid PC. Reasonably quiet fan, reliable over years.

If I had a company, I'd probably get Dell, maybe sample Lenovo and HP too.

BitFenix Prodigy, technology

If you want to bring home a pocket full of latest technology then it is advised that you choose the BitFenix Prodigy. It will not cost your pocket much but what you will get is beyond saying. Starting with the design the case is just beautiful in one word. It is not like the traditional cases where the LED lights and flashes would get obstructed. In fact it is specially designed so that people do not have any such problems. For the benefit of the user it has got two USB ports instead of one. This will allow you to transfer or receive data faster than what has always happened till now.

If you consider the inside of the case then you will find it much more flexible than the others and it also has proper space for graphics card of any size. The air flow of the whole system is super efficient and if you think that the rear will not have any exhaust fan then you are wrong. It does have one at the back.

>>59467944
what did you use for the backlight?

>>59458448
Here is the thing.
Not everyone puts their pc behind closed doors and hard to see, some people have their pcs out in the open where people can see them, and some like to have it look nice when they do that.

This op pc, its not offensive to look at, would be obvious as all fuck if it was in a bedroom and you don't shut down, but that's beside the point.

This specific pc was in a contest for best pc in terms of looks and performance, while it's not the best in any category, its also not the worst.

Fuck knows if I had airbrush skills I would get a big eatx case and airbrush generic fantasy hero facing down a dragon on the case with a woman in chains, but that's personal taste.

Personally, I need no cosmetics in my pc. I need my pc to be silent, I need it to run cool, and I need it to perform like a beast. This is mine - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xQNFqk

At the same time, who am I to take exception with someone whose hobby gives them great pleasure? Most everyone has a hobby that they enjoy. I enjoy boating. I enjoy taking care of my boat. I spend a great deal of time caring for my boat, and I spend a great deal of money just owning the thing (dock fees, insurance fees, maintenance fees, loan payments, fuel, etc). It gives me great pleasure to see my boat looking fine and to see my friends and family enjoy a day on my boat out in the ocean. If some pc enthusiast derives great pleasure from turning his pc into a mini Las Vegas strip, then so be it. I think the pc in OP's pic looks amazing.

>>59471188
>>59471326
>like the small builds

I've owned nothing but full and mid towers for 25 years now. Only within these last several months have I come to fall in love with tight little builds. I realized that I've always had a ton of unused space in my cases because I always expect I'm going to add a ton of stuff but I never end up doing so.

Last month I decided it was time for a new pc. I thought long and hard about the essence of my needs as a pc user for the last 25 years and how that applies to today's tech. I realized I need nothing more than a MicroATX case, a single gpu, two sticks of ram, and two ssd's (because I have a homebrew server filled with hdd's for archival storage). No optical drives needed. No enormous 8-bay hdd cages needed. No enormous motherboard with a dozen PCI slots and eight ram slots. I'm going to get this rig of mine built by Tuesday evening. I hope to throw some pictures up on 4chan by Wednesday.

>>59471820
You can keep repeating one sentence while ignoring the rest of the article. Just showing your ignorance and poor reading comprehension.

>>59471859
My last build was an mATX and I agree that I didn't really need more than that at the time. I eventually replaced it with a g752 laptop because I am self employed and needed to have my files where ever I go, but now I'm thinking I might just be able to do 2 desktops and use an external HDD.

Still, I would like my PCs to run decently cool and efficient and I do play gaymez when I'm at the office during my down time so I don't want to have a little noisy ass toaster on my desk next to me if that makes sense.

>>59471918
>it would take almost 30 each 90 degree elbows
see right here, it would take 30 90 degree bends,
>to add up to 1 degree in CPU temp rise.
To make the cpu go up 1 degree

does that one degree matter?

You are arguing that the water pressure gets fucked so hard that it's an active detriment to the pc...
there are as I can count, 8 90 degree bends in the op image by the articles math, the cooling has become .3 degrees less efficient.
By the same article I beleive, they go on to say pushing the water through the fins and the low profile... the fuck do you call a water cooler heatsink... by push it though those is FAR more demanding than any 90 degree bend you can make.
are you understanding the point now?

you need 30 90 degree bends to drop the cooling by 1 degree, and i'm sitting here struggling to think of how you could make a retarded enough water cooling setup that would require more than 16 90 degrees if that was the only bend you used.

>>59474383
im an engineer. its from memory, but hydraulic systems have many features tabulated for head loss, and a right angle fitting is like 0.3. lemme double check

By your ratio the pic in the OP would have a head loss of over 3ft. Assuming it's 4" per right angle.

>>59474383
yeah the loss coefficent for a flanged 90 degree eblow is 0.3.

headloss minor = (coefficenct loss)(v^2)/(2g)
hl = 0.3v^2/20
hl = 0.015v^2

do you know the average velocity of the fuilds in a water cooled system? it cant be more than like 1m/s. so assuming that, the head loss is 0.015meters or 0.6 inches

>>59474561
>do you know the average velocity of the fuilds in a water cooled system?
Velocity idk. However a system like in the OP with a d5 pump is going to be well under 1gpm even at full tilt. So you could guesstimate. Assume the 90 degree is the same size diameter as the tube.

Guess around 2ft/s

>>59474561
someone validate me plz, i put real effort into that post. i need validation from anons on the internet.

>>59474653
Too add
I assumed .8 gpm which is very generous for the system.
Standard g1/4 fitting has about .4" ID.

>>59474670
k so we got Di = 0.01016m
A= 3.14(0.00508)^2 = 0.000081032m^2
Volumeflowrate= 0.00303m^3
v=V/A= 37.39m/s....... thats not right where am i fucking up

>>59474747
oh i was using gpm instead of gps...
so divide everything by 60
and
v= .62m/s

so the head los from a right angle is
h=0.3(.62^2)/20 = 0.0058m or 0.22 inches

YAY SCIENCE!

>>59474783
When you're dealing with such low gpm through a system it adds up a lot.

It's appreciated, however I lack the education to give you validation.

I can add that the tubing on OP's build looks ridiculous and most high end builds will avoid bends because they make the petg more fragile. A common trend is to keep all the tubes parallel to each other with out bends for aesthetics.

>>59474809
well, how much head does the pump produce?

>>59474829
- Motor: Electronically commuted spherical motor
- Rated voltage: 12V DC
- Power consumption: 23W
- Maximum pressure head: 3.9m
- Maximum flow: 1500L/h
- Maximum system temperature: 60°C
- Materials: Stainless steel, PPS-GF40, EPDM O-rings, Aluminium oxide, hard coal
- Power connector: 4-Pin Molex 50cm cable length
- Signal cable: 4-Pin PWM FAN connector 60cm cable length

>>59474838
>Maximum pressure head: 3.9m
there you go, you can have like 20 right angles and not care

>>59474850
You need a decent GPM to have effective cooling otherwise the waterblocks are inefficient.

>>59474869
the difference in head from a right angle is so tiny, that it is completely negligible for a realistic build is what we just calculated.

they wont effect the flow rate in any noticeable way.

>>59474917
It adds resistance and resistance kills gpm. It's a much easier to win game to get rid of resistance than to over power it.

>>59474940
yes it adds resistance, but the resistance of 8 angles, like in the OP is nothing compared to the power of the pump.

we are talking 0.0058m for each fitting, and total power of 4m. its so small you can ignore it.

>>59474978
We aren't trying to overcome height here. We're trying to move water as fast as possible.

Not using a mora3 420.

>>59474993
in hydraulic systems, pressure is measured in a unit called head. head is pressure, pressure generates flow rate.

the head loss from the fittings is very tiny compared the the head generated by the pump

Head does not equal flow rate. Not in anyway. Head can increase the flow rate of a system.

You need to look at head and flow rate.

Stop being an insecure faggot, and buy what you want. Not looking for validation of your purchase.

Your point?

>>59475114
you dont know bernoulii's equation and you are telling me how fluid mechanics work? maybe you should generate arguments instead of talking in memes and assertions.

>>59475129
I'm telling you how you figure out gpm isn't by head alone.

You can have a pump with infinite head but next to no flow rate.

>>59471188
what is that case ?

>>59453269
I prefer miniITX console sized cases to those, and water cooling seems stupid, risky, and overkill

>>59468329
The stupid handles on the bottom ruin this for me.

Otherwise, it's an interesting layout and nice quality.

But I don't like proportions in these cases like that.
With a case that small, I like everything vertical so they can be slimmer and keep proper proportions instead of getting cube shaped

>>59470309
That's cool. So compact for a case of that time.

>>59467814
Well, if pic is related then it's not what I meant. Sorry. What I had in mind was a tube that sucks fresh air directly to cpu heatsink and another tube directing air out of chassis. It would reduce dust buildup I think.

>>59466705
Can confirm, solid as fuck.

>>59475049

Great case, especially the 400q with sound dampening.

Get on my level.

Do you plug it in your ass and wave it while you walk?

>>59474561
for 25mm interior bore, I found a loss equivalent to 0.3m to 0.4m of straight tubing per smooth right angle. http://www.kaeser.fr/Online_Services/Toolbox/Pressure_drop/

"Why do all modern high end PC's all look like this now?"

"It's comical how nice looking they've become."

Shut up, retard.

How do you get the 2B profile background?

There is another one that is smaller but I cannot remember the name.
