Antares

Well after a very long time, I decide to upgrade my current workstation from 1950x, 2080Ti and 2070 to a modern system.

This new one named Antares.

Base Core Preparation Build

The case is the Meshify from Fractal. Instead of an external water cooling I pick the internal path. Target was to use the Koolance external system, but nobody in Germany could provide this, so I stick with internal.

NPE30 420’er radiators and Nocuta fans. Connected to Octo from Aqua for the ultimate control of temperature and fans.

Here two pictures of this stage

First Parts

First parts arrive

Preparing memory water cooling

Test Run without graphic cards

I use a spare GTX1050 for the test run. All white pipes are removed, if the new graphic cards arrive

Just power

Backside horror

With temporary installed graphic cards

Complete

Well, as long as the graphic card isn’t available, it is unfinished

Well, now the 12V cable came, the graphic cards arrive, since december the station is running well. No water lost by diffusion or else, and the best part, this 1300W power monster is silent, you hear just a low noise.
