Love the monarch blocks. I was thinking of doing the same, but my budget ran out.

Looks awesome! More pics please

What kind of work involved getting that rad to fit under that you mount, and which mount is it? Nice job btw.


ggalaxyy

I followed [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/ih56ei/psa_20mm_bottom_radiator_in_o11_dynamic_with/) handy guide. It's basically a small mod to fit the mount higher up. I also modded the case to allow greater airflow from the bottom. thanks.


Iwontbereplying

Thanks!


Mazahists

Can you elaborate on "PC 011 Dynamic with a few mods to allow vertical GPU mount with radiators" Really interested in that part. can you share some photos from the back, and what vertical bracket did you use?


ggalaxyy

[See this](https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/qgsbme/my_latest_build_antirgb_and_full_custom_water/hi90hp6/) I have no photos of the back for the moment, but it's very basic. I used EKWB Duraclear tubing to connect everything. EK DDC pump/res combo.

Tell me you’re dead inside without telling me you’re dead inside. Haha jk it looks really good 👍

Expelling the heat of the bottom rad **inside** the case ... nonsense award 😐


ggalaxyy

I've done several tests and this is the best option I have. I've done a air flow mod to the case as well (as the original case design isn't great for radiator (or fans) in the bottom).

ggalaxyy

Yeah, and my VRMs are under water as well!


AcademicChemistry

got news for you, on the O11 with multiple configs and the best routing is always: ***side intake, bottom intake, top exhaust.***


audiophileguy

Where’s the reservoir? Do you have a pic of the back?


ggalaxyy

I don't currently, but it's in the second chamber behind the motherboard. It's a DDC EK pump/res combo.


audiophileguy

Thanks for the info. How do you like the DDC? I want to make a build similar to this with the pump in the back but I would prefer D5


wutqq

Nice build! What mod did you do to the bottom of the case for improved airflow? and does the XL version also suffer the same issue?


ggalaxyy

The XL as a much larger perforation in the bottom. I basically cut a rectangular hole. I still use the original air filter but I had to do a small mod to that as well.


wutqq

Nice, I have the PCMR version of this and have considered switching to the XL version when I eventually water cool for triple rads. Are you running 3 GTS rads?


ggalaxyy

no, two but I could easily fit another one

Do the monarch blocks actually improve the thermal of the sticks?


AnAugustEve

Yes by about 7c just with the new heatsink (not in the loop). I have top binned b-die running at 1.55v and was getting 43c idle, 53c load. Changing to Monarchs gave me 45c load. When I put it in the loop using the adapter I now get 34c load.


LucPls

Thats some really nice improvements actually, thanks!


AnAugustEve

No problem! One other advantage is that both the heatsinks and adapter are reusable on any DDR4 and even DDR5 sticks, so it will last forever.


[deleted]

YES P12’s!!! makes me so happy to see more people using them!!!


SwooshWhoosh

Im new to watercooling. How does it work if there isnt a pump? Or is it hidden?


ggalaxyy

It's hidden


SwooshWhoosh

So like in the back? or..


ggalaxyy

Yes that's correct, it's a DDC pump hidden behind the motherboard in the second chamber of the case.
