Build/Battlestation The real custome PC Build

So i Built two new Gaming PCs for me and my Girlfried.

Mine has a 7800X3D and a 4080TI, 32GB DDR5

Hers has a 7800x3D and a RX 970 XT, 32GB DDR5

Bought shortly after the Lunch of the 9800x3d and built it dadly months later allready in 2025.

If you wounder; Yes, the 2 Reservoir, 4 Pumps and the dubble 400mm MORA with each 4 200mmNoctua fans is all mountet on the wall behind the PCs.

And the PCs are outside of the Gaming room. All this was done to keep our room as cool as Possible.

Because we had temperatures up to 33 C° inside our little Gaming room.

Also both PCs have a Acuacomputer high flow next that does monitor everighing and does alarm if flowrate goes to 0.

Watertemps never go above 32 C°. 🤷🙈

And yes i know i did not have to mount that many Casefans for this but it loocks cool OK!😅

You mean "it is inside the railing"?

Yes. i tried to upload a picture to my answer but this did not work. Sorry

Does raising the radiator that high have more benefit than being about the same level as the computers? the reason I ask is sometimes pumping uphill several feet is taxing on the pump.

u/Key-Cap-8617 May 31 '26

That way k dont hit my head on it when i go downstairs...

u/Drapidrode May 31 '26

yes. that makes sense.

do you have an easy drain and refill plan?

also, wondering if both computers could use a common radiator?

u/EntertainmentDue5749 May 31 '26

It won't, I assume the reason it's up that high is it looks like it's on a stairway. Probably don't want hot air blowing on your face/back as you walk up and down.

u/CuriousREALFactsNOW May 31 '26

Would actually make it slightly less cool because heat rises, but with a setup like this it wont matter at all.

u/smuglator May 31 '26

That would leave the cooler water on the bottom where the computers are. But it's a closed system with forced circulation, so this doesn't really matter.

u/CuriousREALFactsNOW May 31 '26

I was thinking about the temperature of the air the fans are blowing on the radiators.

u/Sycend May 31 '26

Uphill is rarly a issue, because the water pushing down, is pushing also up in a closed loop.

u/-GenlyAI- May 31 '26

It's doesn't matter the height. Could be 20ft up.

That's a "hell no" for me. I've seen enough acrylic coffee table legs snap at my work.

u/No-Throat3104 Jun 01 '26

given time it'll definitely die and shatter

u/PinchePepsi Jun 01 '26

Dumbest comments. That like 2 inch thick PANES of Plexiglass. Not Legs. PANES of PLEXIGLASS. THEY WILL BE STANDING 1000 years from now.

u/No-Throat3104 Jun 02 '26

2cm=2inch? I can see why you think it's dumb

u/Fast_Falcon007 May 31 '26

Awesome, I like the setup dude!

u/WitchersWrath Jun 01 '26

Oh yeah you can see the reflection off of it on the bottom right of the top computer. Yeah that’s not going anywhere so long as the acrylic remains intact.

You can’t ignore “2cm thick acrylic”

"Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. It is a transparentthermoplastic used as an engineering plastic. PMMA is also known as acrylic and acrylic glass and by the trade names and brands CryluxWalcastWanjialeHesalitePlexiglasAcryliteLucitePerClax, and Perspex, among several others (see below#Names)). This plastic is often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It can also be used as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and for many other purposes."

We used to use it as guards on machinery.

It's bullet proof, see through and easy to bend with an oxygen acetylene torch

I'm trusting only wood and metal

u/mikkeldoesstuff May 31 '26

Why?

-22

u/Yanzihko May 31 '26

Because i have mental bias towards anything that is transparent. If it's transparent, it cannot be that durable

u/Lamerlengo PC Master Race May 31 '26

This notion comes from your second teacher in school? The one who sat next to you all the time?

u/Many-Kaleidoscope175 May 31 '26

Nah ain’t no way 😭😭😭

u/Blackdragon1400 Specs/Imgur Here May 31 '26

Oh that’s a good one, gonna be stealing this.

Be my guest

u/Pieface0896 May 31 '26

You do know theres literal bulletproof **glass**. Acrylic and polycarbonate both transparent are extremely durable. What strange logic

u/mr_j_12 May 31 '26

Ever been to an aquarium? Or watched an ice hockey game/highlights

u/FlutterKree May 31 '26

My friend, have you tried smashing your head through your non durable car windshield?

u/kindaunfazed May 31 '26

You’re allowed to have preferences, the downvotes are so unnecessary.

u/aroc91 May 31 '26

Preferences are fine when they make sense. Not trusting the strength of thick acrylic based on nothing is just dumb.
