- This is not my first time building a PC, but it is my first time ever to build a fully custom water loop! I waited this case to arrive for almost 2 years and I am really excited to share this build with all of you!
The reason why it failed:
1. The cooling is inadequate. A single 20mm thick 240mm radiator and one 15mm thick 120mm fan is just not enough to cool BOTH the CPU and GPU.
2. I find the pump is rather on the weak side (but it is enough to flow liquid through the whole loop).

Impressive! Tightest build I’ve ever seen.
Thank you!
Great build. I have thought about this case for a while and I think I'll definitely purchase that for my next PC
It’s not a bad case it’s just not meant for water cooling
I had to pause the video to like and subscribe as soon as I saw you beat the graphics card bracket with the hammer. Well done.
Lol thanks!!!
Howard, this looks awesome! Great work and love the care you put into it! Definitely tough only running with one fan. The PC looks awesome.
Thank you!! Yea the one fan one radiator didn’t work out lol this case is more for air cooling 😅
Awesome video, i love the genshin and lost ark testing at the end.
Thx! Genshin and lost ark run just fine 😁
Great video , you deserve to get more views and subscribers
Thank you so much!
Awesome vid! Reminds me when I shoved a custom loop into a Fractal design node 202 on a single 240 mm. Although with some majorly heavy under volts it was ok enough to use. Had a 1080 and a 3600X in it.
Ty!
Nice video!
❤️
Been wanting to build a miniature gaming pc to play just console games since I already have my main Pc. Couldn’t find the perfect case until now 😍
Good for you!
i laughed so hard when your hand was shaking really hard putting in that nvme stick xD
Hhahahaha I didn’t even realized that
Everything is so tight
Yea lol
@@howardishere what are your Temps please
I've definitely thought about doing a build in this case with a Ryzen 5 or 7 and with a smaller GPU and air cooling.
Yea that would work very well
So did you find a solution to have appropriate cooling with high end components, or is that simply not possible with this case?
It’s just not possible. It doesn’t have adequate space to put more cooling components in.
Looks great! But ya a 240 doesn’t seem like nearly enough radiator to cool these components. I too and doing a closed loop in a mjolnir but opted to keep the gpu on air and only a 5600x cpu. But I’m also only putting a 120 rad in it. Interested to see how it temps
Thx! Yea this case is meant for an air cooled gpu I think you could put a higher end cpu if you are only water cooling the cpu though. In my case if I’m not gaming the computer it’s actually fine but it’s just that the pump is on the weak side.
Sick build man! Do you know where I can grab one of these cases? I’ve looked everywhere but they all seem to be sold out. Are they still making them?
Thanks! They make them in small batches I believe they have another round going. But honestly you better off buying the new fractal design case, these small / niche company are kinda outdated I think
The GPU temps aren't that bad at all 75c is just normal under full load considering the small case also the CPU you can do some undervolting to get way better temps and performance.
Honestly GPU temps are okay I then switched the whole build to ghost S1 and realized all the heat is coming from the CPU lol being a 5950x and it really needs adequate cooling
Hey ! Might be a bit late but I really like what you did in this case and I'm currently doing my first custom loop into the same case.
As it is very small, I was wondering how you managed to plug the pump to the radiator. I cannot seem to find a connexion that fits. Any advice ?
Thanks a lot and once again, awesome look that you got there !
I used soft tubes so it’s not too hard to connect both. Just need to make space so that the tube won’t kink
Thanks a lot for the reply, I thought you used a hard link between the both of them, this is why I was wondering !
May I ask how does the pump hold in the case ?
You did a good job, even though the temperatures was not what you wanted it was still a clean build. I would of rather used a Ryzen 7 or 5 CPU since I've notice majority of the heat created is from that CPU.
Yea the gpu temp is not bad just that the cpu is putting out so much heat
Nice video. Whats that overlay? (showing cpu/vga temps and fps)
That’s the AMD software overlay 👍
Nice build. I saw this case few years ago on RandomfrankP's channel and saw issues. I saw it again on Jay's channel and I still saw alot of issues that made it DOA for me. Too many compromises for its price tag.
Yea totally agreed. This case is basically no water cooling. AND you need to find low profile cpu cooler and 2 slot gpu only. Honestly I am not even using this case right now I switched to the ghost S1 almost immediately after building this
@HL-2906 - Did you get a chance to make any updates on the cooling for your system. Its been right at about a year? Did you insert another fan on the radiator somehow? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
I don’t want to disappoint you but I basically dissembled it almost right after I shot the video. This mini itx idea doesn’t work for me. I went full size and has using full size stuff since. The cooling was inadequate in this case. You really need either more radiators or downgrade to a cpu that doesn’t draw so much heat and keep the gpu air cooled.
@@howardishere Thank you so much. As I personally considered the ITX format. When dealing with the SFF case, when it comes to the design. I keep running in the same issue - not enough cooling space. And that is even in the design phase. I personally want to insert into something small that can take on about 1000 watts of power. And from all my searching and researching, I will need to do this with at least an M-ATX motherboard and M-ATX case. Something that allows me to get in there full-size radiators and fans without compromising anything.
Thank you so much for sharing!
it is a toaster oven the case.
It literally is
I can only wonder what the vrm temps on MB are? At least you are honset with the temps. Good work none the less.
Thank you! I didn’t pay attention to the vrm temps because this motherboard has a fan to blow on them so didn’t worry too much about it.
@@howardishere question in hwinfo does it show the fan running.
On the verge of buyng the MJOLNIR, a bit second thoughts after seeing this though...
Would you ever attempt on revisiting the MJOLNIR but with another approach, e.g. testing if possible to add another fan?
The maximum fans you can have in this case is 2 fans: either 2 120mm fans normal thickness or 1 120mm fan with an aio cooler with a thinner fan on top. This case would be great if you just air cool both the cpu and gpu. It’s just not meant for water cooling which makes me kinda sad. I’m not even using this case now lol don’t know what to do with it.
EBay has
Hey! What's the actual PCE riser cable model you purchased to fit the GPU?
It’s from LINKUP. Purchased on Amazon.
Yeah I see the link. But it brings me to a page with white cable. I want to know actual detail or model number showing its length etc
Damn some serious mod with the gpu
Yea it was pretty nerve wrecking when I was doing it 😂
Sooo..question 240 mm rad. But one fan? How does it do?
It didn’t work at all. Temperature kept rising
Why'd you put the SSD on the back of the motherboard. The front slot is PCI-e 4.0 and the back slot is only 3.0. Also, if you're worried about the SSD taking up PCI lanes it wouldn't have. Just a weird thing to see.
Also, 80C on a 5950X in a small form factor like that is amazing. With a bit of undervolting you could have easily brought those temperatures down without noticeable performance loss through curve optimization in PBO.
I have 2 m.2 in both front and back
@@howardishere Ahh. Makes sense. I didn't see one in the initial shot xD
nice camera
Thx!
I really wonder what Temps would be with a 5600x instead
I can imagine the temps would be much more manageable with a 5600x
Did u boot the pc without a cpu cooler !!!??
No I attached an AMD stock cooler 😅
So just light gaming?
Yea
is that enough cooling?
No it’s not enough cooling
Have you tried undervolting?
No I haven’t tried any over/under volting I just want to see how it will perform right out of the box
@@howardishere maybe give that a shot. I have these same components in my full sized rig on a full loop with two 360 rads and my 5950x still gets up close to 80c under load. She's just a damn hot chip!
Good info thx! I am currently using these components in a ghost S1 case. I am working on putting a video out on it. Right now I’m using 2 240 radiators with 4 fans and a D5 pump and the temps are totally under control. The pump made a huge difference I can never go back to ddc again lol. I’m planning on using 1 240 rad and a 120 rad with a ek pump block combo so everything would fit in the ghost s1
Failed? I don't think so! The CPU temp is still very acceptable at 85c.
You can't expect very low temperatures like in a water-cooled mid tower. For modern CPU's, as long as the temps stay below 90c (below 85c preferable) and the CPU is stable, thats fine. You can use power limits and undervolting to ensure this.
For GPU, anything below 85c is fine.
You're doing very well off a single fan!
Having said that, a dan A4 H2O has far more cooling capacity.
I run a 12900kf and 3090 on a single 240mm in a 10 litre taobao cube X1. Radiator is a tx240 with 2 t30 30mm fans (these are excellent).
My CPU stays below 85c even under cinebench (undervolting and power limit of 150watts needed to achieve this) and GPU always stays below 75c.
Coolant temp rises as high as 47c.
10 litre itx builds are inherently a compromise, but can work very well while being extremely portable
You are so right. So this build was my first time doing a water cooling build I guess my expectations of water cooling was very high and I wasn’t sure what temps to aim for.
I used this build for about 2 months and changed it back to normal components and a normal case with air cooling lol
@@howardishere I think you did great! It's all about what you're trying to achieve
For me, I wanted a 10 litre top of the line pc that I could fly to Europe from Australia and back in a carry on bag (which I did) - I needed portability and the system was excellent while still having the best available components.
For a PC that can sit on the spot but you want max performance including overclocking, a mid tower custom loop can do that better with 5% or maybe even 10% better overclocked performance.
I think you did a great job, but maybe didn't need a 10 litre case
I would never water cool a cpu and a gpu with 1-240mm rad. with 1 low profile fan! Wayyyy too much heat. The gpu must be air cooled and have the water cooling just for the cpu. Nice build nonetheless!
Yea it’s way too much heat
You're wrong - I'm doing a single thin 240 with 30mm t30 fans (they spin up to 2100rpm at most) in a taobao cube X1 10 litre case cooling a 3090 and a 12900kf (power limited to 150 watts and undervolted, the 3090 is stock).
Max CPU temps: 85c (usually no more than 75c)
Max GPU temps: 75c
It can be done
@@Tom--Ace You had to power limit and undervolt and use a large 30mm fan to hit a nice cool 85⁰c! Your ignorant comment is so irrelevant to what I said in my comment.
How do you have 360 subscribers?
I wanna grow too 😅
It's a toaster oven. Not worth it. No room for air
It is so not worth it. Don’t do it.
The reason why it failed:
1. The cooling is inadequate. A single 20mm thick 240mm radiator and one 15mm thick 120mm fan is just not enough to cool BOTH the CPU and GPU.
2. I find the pump is rather on the weak side (but it is enough to flow liquid through the whole loop).
I have to disaggree with you on te above atatement. I would put it down to choice of cpu and gpu. This case is not made for high end components like 5950x or 6800xt
you would have more luck with a 5600x and a 6700/xt. I went to THOR ZONE channel and this case was threee years in development.
Yea totally agreed with you. I was thinking because this case comes with a high end price so I thought I would put in some high end components lol
It's a shame this case kinda sucks
Yea you are so right. I waited almost 2 years for this case I was so excited but it’s a huge disappointment
It's also Hella expensive.
83c cpi temp.toasty
Yea…
No it's not. 85c is fine
Your expectations are all out of whack. You can't expect a 10 litre case to run temps like a mid tower custom loop.
When I had my mid tower custom loop with one giant and thick 360 rad and a 240 rad, coolant would never rise more than 5c above ambient and CPU temps stayed super cool.
That's not the objective of a custom loop in a 10 litre itx with top grade CPU and GPU.
In an itx, the custom loop's objective is to keep the components comparable to mid range air cooling in a mid tower, and cool enough to operate 24/7 stable without longevity issues.
You're really building a system much more on the edge and you have to adjust expectations for that
