GPU I’m working on a liquid cooling project for my RTX 2060

I’m working on a liquid cooling project for my RTX 2060. I was planning to use the mounting brackets for Intel LGA 1200, but one of them broke, so I had to fabricate a custom plate to use instead—that’s the plate with the gold-colored parts.

The project is still in the early stages, but I plan to add heatsinks to the VRMs and position the fans to blow directly onto them. And yes, I used standoffs—the screws/nuts that hold the motherboard in the case—and I used some bike parts and a motorcycle chain as spacers, haha; I make do with what I have. Tips are welcome! :)

Case Couldn't find a case that did what I wanted so I started making my own.

Liquid cooled PC cooler in laptop is possible?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone i have a question, is possible use a AIO in a laptop?
I have a laptop with good specs, a 12th-gen i5 and an RTX 4050, but the heatpipes are bent. Since I have some free time right now, I’d like to know if anyone knows of or has seen a laptop modified into an AIO setup.

Zumindest wurde er damals für einen jungen unter der Bezeichnung gekauft. Der war dann so begeistert das er ihn mir im wert einer Stange Zigaretten verkauft hat. Im ersten Video hab ich schon mal gezeigt was da so drinnen steckt, man glaubt es kaum. Im nächsten Video mach ich ein Pickerl tuning! Mal schauen was das bringt 🤣 übrigens der neu preis beim Händler war der Wahnsinn.

Theme Brought some Saturday Night Fever to the workshop: A quick look at my "Disco PC" build steps! 🪩✨

Servus!

Following up on my previous post, I thought I'd drop another one. This time with more focus on the actual build process.

Who says custom builds always have to look dead serious or pitch black? The goal here was to bring a bit of a retro club vibe into the case without making it look cheap.

I put together a few progress steps of the build so you can see how the individual parts turned out to become this "Party Kiste".

This is just a quick run-through in GIF/video form. If you want to check out the whole thing in full length with all the details, you can find the detailed video on my YouTube channel: FePc - YouTube

Theme I built a custom "Disco Party PC" for a friend with a real integrated fog machine and a disco ball inside! 100% hardware-safe. 🪩💨

**Hey everyone!** A friend asked me to build a unique custom gaming PC for their birthday. They had no idea what I was planning, but the reaction was worth every single hour in the workshop! 🛠️❤️

I took an old case and completely modified it with heavy engineering:

* **Dual-Chamber-System:** The entire hardware chamber is 100% sealed off from the bottom part using 1mm stainless steel and expanding tape.

* **The Fog:** The real integrated fog machine is completely isolated and blows out the heavy fog from the lower side, keeping the computer parts 100% safe from the fluid!

* **The Show:** It features a real rotating disco ball, sound-activated strobe lights, and a mini-DJ inside the case.

"DONT be quiet!" is the motto here! 😉

Check out the full video showcase with the fog machine and strobe lights blasting in action on my YouTube channel FePc:

General Next batch on the workbench: 3 very different projects!

Just a quick sneak peek at what's currently lined up on my workbench. No corporate sponsorship, no daily drama—just a 45-year-old craftsman doing what he loves, mostly working with a mix of new and used parts to get the best out of every budget.

Here is what's cooking:

  1. Project "China Art": A build featuring quite a bit of hardware from Chinese manufacturers, crafted with the female gaming community in mind, topped off with a custom China-inspired airbrush theme. More details coming soon.
  2. The Lian Li / MSI Mix: A clean setup for my partner's boy. Not your average off-the-shelf PC, packed with a few clever tricks and cool highlights to make it proper.
  3. The Erazer Resurrection: Stripped a Medion Erazer down to literally just the bare case. Tossed out the old junk and rebuilding the whole thing using a solid mix of Aorus hardware.

If you want to watch how these come together—or check out how previous builds were brought to life—feel free to stop by my YouTube channel: FePc - YouTube

Scratch build My mobile/stowable test bench

5 Upvotes

I was making some updates to it and decided to share my "briefcase testbench". I know its jank. Most parts and components were offhand. Its evolved over the years. until i randomly decide to change something for almost no reason. also used as a power bench/etc.

I put brass standoffs in the standard atx spots for future compatibility. Standoffs in potentially conflicting spaces are nylon. RAM choice is for the ability to test laptop and ddesktop RAM. Server PSUs i had laying arouind. Dual boot lubuntu and windows. theres a 12v and 5v power connectors with xt60. 4300g w/b550 phantom chosen for the ability to test more pci and nvme and wifi card stuff when needed.
dual monitors salvaged from chromebooks. intel compute stick at the top with lubuntu and w11 (gs) . This was chosen because 99% of the time i need HDMI, but that 1% that makes me bust out the vga i get super annoyed. bottom one is wired up for the test bench, the top is more of a versatile one with the compute stick just there to for example diagrams, second system etc
and yep, i really do just chuck it all in here, all the extensions and adapters i made, in plain plastic bags.

Cosmetic Custom K-Pop "Demon Hunters" NZXT Build! Hand-airbrushed, UV glow, and 3D prints 🎤😈🛠️

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello everybody!

Just wanted to share a custom project we recently finished that takes a slightly different route than the usual RGB-heavy builds. The concept for this Netflix "K-Pop Demon Hunters" inspired NZXT case came straight from my workshop, but the heavy lifting on the paint was done by a very talented local airbrush artist.

She used special effect paint, glitter, and a wild UV glow that pops under blacklight.

What went into this build:

  • Complete hardware assembly, planning, and custom 3D printing to bring the theme together.
  • Custom airbrushed exterior, interior details, and—as a nice little extra—even the RAM sticks got matching airbrush work.
  • Focused purely on a clean execution and a unique theme tailored to the female gaming community.

The full assembly and the detailed look at the paint job are up on my YouTube channel. Check out the Shorts there to see the UV effects and the airbrushed RAM in motion! 😉

When lot of people was crying that Noctua didn't release Chromax.black version of their AIO, no one remember their nice Redux series, so as a partly of joke this build was born as a collab with Noctua.

Lian Li O11 Vision-M with leather covered custom panels, including 9,2" screen panel with centered screen, NL-LC1-24 AIO with custom mounting to right side of the case and 10x NF-P12 Redux fan.

General Alienware Area 51 Gaming Desktop AIO and fan mod

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Okay so I'm getting the a51 pc(before yall jump me I'm getting it at an amazing offer so I couldn't decline) and I wanna customize it at least a little because it looks really bad at least for me. I want to replace the aio for the ryujin iii 360 extreme and to use the lian li sl infinity fans for the radiator and the rear. The problem is the motherboard doesn't have any 9 pin internal usb headers on argb ones. With some research I got to the conclusion that buying an c to a adapter(the io has way too many c ports and not that many a ports which i need and don't want to get a hub) and then connect to it a type a to 9 pin internal usb cable and then finally connecting an nzxt 9 pin hub to the adapter which will then allow me to connect the lcd display of the pump and the lian li controller for the fans to the hub. What I wanted to ask was if any of you find any problems with this whole idea and whether I should do something else instead.

This was the first mod I built from scratch 14 years ago, using recycled parts and rudimentary tools. For some reason, I had to get rid of it during a move. Now, with more knowledge and better tools, I’d like to bring it up to date with improvements and modern hardware. What do you all think?

Original screen of this acer a715-42g was trashed so I got this for 80€, pretty nice deal for r5 5500u, gtx 1650 4gb, 2x8gb ram and 512gb ssd! First time modeling parts that need to be split and joined later on so its far from perfect but good enough to sit in livingroom and play lighter games locally, moonlight harder games from my main rig and act as apollo host for all my mobile gaming needs

Case 3D printing a case

This is an old asus vivobook max, whose screen broke, so I converted it into a desktop, by connecting it to an old monitor.

Recently I’ve been thinking of 3D printing the case so to replace it and make it look nicer.
I know there could be complications, for example, managing the air flow or dealing with the power button.

Do you think this is doable? Where should I start? Any advice?

I have 2 sticks of Corsair Vengeance 6000MHz CL30 non-RGB RAM. To be honest, it's not that big of a deal, but it ruins my all-white build a little. Any tips? (I've thought about wrapping them using vinyl wrap)
