Thank you for your comment! Sure! I bought this sleeving kit: cablemod.com/product/cablemod-aio-sleeving-kit-series-2-for-evga-clc-nzxt-kraken-white/ At Amazon they’re currently not available in white. Maybe at another online shop.
Hi CallMeArvs, you need to connect the fan rgb cables in a chain and then you need only 1 slot (LED1) of your hub. So, the AiO is directly connected with the motherboard. Are you use nzxt rgb fans? The fans have rgb input/output cables and connectors. You have to connect the first cable with the output plug in to the control hub (LED1). The other side of the cable (with the input plug) into the first fan. And then you go on with the next cable. The output plug of the second cable in the output connector of the first fan. Then the input plug in the input connector of the second fan. And like this you go on to connect all your fans in a chain. The rgb cables are not for power supply. For that you have different powercables. Finally the LED2 slot in your hub is still empty and you can connect a light strip if you have.
@@Stephan-sPCCorner yea my 2 aio rgb fans are connected into 1 slot in the hub, i have a rgb strip which is connected to the hub also. So i have no more slots for my back 120 and 140 for the rgb
But you have to connect all your fans in a chain, not only the both of your aio radiator. Also rear and upside fan needs to be connected with your 2 front fans. All 4 fans in one chain. Not only two.
No, you should connect the backside fan with the back-upside AiO fan and also the front fans with the front-upside-aio fan. He shows how to connect the fans in a chain. ruclips.net/video/_IcfcdnNMjw/видео.html But for the back and front you need longer cables. I had longer cables as accessories in the fan package which i bought separately. If you still have the package and accessories, take a look in there. I think you’ll need 2 or 3 longer cables. It’s difficult to give an advice because I don’t know exactly your setup. Which case are you use? 2 front fans?
Thank you Jeffrey! Not easy to say. As far as i know all official Cablemod extensions are 18 awg. But i have also extensions from another manufacturer and they are a bit thicker and my cablecombs fits much better. I guess it’s 16 awg. So it also depends on what cablecombs you want to use.
Hi Jamie, thank you for your comment! The thermal performance and airflow in bigger cases is probably better but i could'nt see any bigger differences yet. I think it depends also on what cooling system you use. My CPU for example has always good temperatures. Between 55-65°C (in Games, like Cyberpunk 2077 or AC Valhalla). The GPU temperature was higher but then i adjusted the GPU fans individual and got 10°C less than before! In Cyberpunk on Ultra Settings with raytracing the GPU runs smooth with 68-70°C. So actually i have good temperature values but i had to customize my fan control. So finally i would say, yes there better cases but with the right parts and cooling systems you’re able to decrease the temperatures to a good level in this case.
It should be a crime to mount the radiator 'tube side up' at this point. Maybe you should consider fixing it. And the sleeves on the aio aren't looking that good. Overall, good build and video👍
Hi Jin Kazama, thank you for your comment! Yes i know the thing about the radiator mounted tube side up. The mainreason for my decision was because it was‘nt able to reach the CPU from the downside because of the big RTX3080. So i had to mount upside. The other thing is that NZXT shows officially this mount direction for that case on their website and description. It is not the best way, i know. But the fact is that i have no temperature problems or disturbing noises in this direction. Maybe it‘s just luck. I think the best mount direction generally is the topside but this case don’t support this direction. All in all i‘m really happy with this build. Meanwhile almost one year old!
@@Stephan-sPCCorner hey, good to know that, I am considering this build actually and was hoping there would be clearance, but what a bummer. You are right, I too would prefer the top mount for the radiator but that to is not available. I love the build, and yeah, if all is well then good for you 👍
@@Stephan-sPCCorner While I was doing some research I found a few orientations that could allow the tubes to go down, here's what I found, would be happy to hear if you tried these: 1. ruclips.net/video/A4OYjZEDQFo/видео.html 2. ruclips.net/video/eFcY-exOK1I/видео.html
@@MishimaZaibatsuCorp Ah thanks for the links. Especially the first is interesting. I have to check if that could work because the Gaming X Trio is a really big card. Bigger than the Founders edition but this way along the glass front may work! 👍
Hi Chris, thank you for your comment! Yes, it was discussed already in the comments. Of course the thermal performance and airflow in bigger cases is better. It is definitely a reason to make another choice. But i think it depends also on what cooling system you use. My CPU for example has always good temperatures.

So finally i would say, yes there better cases but with the right parts and cooling systems you’re able to decrease the temperatures to a good level. But it is up to everyone what they want to build.
I can not say a final price. I bought the parts over a several month, always looking for good deals and have also parts from my old system in this build. But if i would sum up all parts, it would be between 2300-2500$ i think. When i bought the parts the prices were much cheaper than today. This price development is just bad but people buy anyway.
Yes, it should be actually better the other direction but I have no issues or disturbing noises in the up-direction - so never change a running system ;-). I mounted the direction like Nzxt shows it in their product description of that case. Also my temperatures are fine. I think you’ll maybe need a bigger case or a smaller graphicscard. It’s unfortunately impossible in my build to mount the other direction because you have not enough space for the AiO tubes when they coming from down because of this big RTX3080 card.
@@Stephan-sPCCorner that’s good to know! I’m also going with a similar setup: - Ryzen 5 3600X - RTX 3080 graphics card - 32gb mem - 1 TB ssd I’m curious to find out how the temps would be like when running in full 1440p settings. Hopefully this case performs good. Thanks for the video.
What brand is your 3080? My temps are good but i had to adjust the fan control a little bit. For the case fans i‘m using CAM from nzxt and for my 3080 MSI Afterburner and after i customized the fan configuration i had much better temps. In Cyberpunk 2077 in 1440p and Ultra Settings 68-70°C GPU and 55-65°C CPU, so actually good values.
@@Wildanimalrescue The thermal performance and airflow is in bigger cases better but my values are actually ok in this case. It depends also on what cooling system you use. The GPU temperature was higher but then i adjusted the GPU and case fans individual for gaming and got 10°C less than before! In Cyberpunk on Ultra Settings with raytracing the GPU runs smooth with 68-74°C. So actually i have good temperature values but i had to customize my fan control a little bit. My CPU for example is getting warmer since i replaced the 3900X with a 5900X. The 3900X had good temperatures (always between 55-65°C, in games like Cyberpunk 2077 or AC Valhalla.) The 5900X is often quite hot, sometimes up to 80°C. But this is already known for this CPU series and seems to be normal. Regarding to the endless temperature discussions about CPUs and GPUs, i ask myself what do people actually expect? Did they expect that their pc should not getting warmer than room temperature? High-performance PC parts are getting hot when you use the full power and this is quite normal. When your system runs stable and temperatures are always somehwere between 70-80°C, then everything is fine (in my opinion). This is also a working temperature what most pc parts can handle without any problems.
It's good that the glass is tinted, that's the best part
Very nice pc i might even build this myself
Thank you flywicked!
lol I found spr wicked on a pc build

Hey bud did the same build but when I ever I start my pc the nzxt cooler flashes rapidly then shuts off
That sounds strange. Are you use the same msi motherboard? Did check the configuration of the cooler in CAM Software?
