This morning I started a new build in the Asus Prime AP201 chassis.
System Specs without graphics card, I'm waiting on Dec 13th Radeon 7900 XTX launch,.. will be running on Intergraded graphics till reference card arrives, Pre-ordered water block on Nov 4, 2022 from EK with shipping date ETA of Dec 21 , 2022. I might put in a place holder GPU till 7900 XTX arrives, for now just running on IGPU to get system set up, running.
System Specs: Asus Crosshair X670E Gene, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N, Samsung 990 Pro 1TB Primary drive, Seagate 530 4TB storage drive, Externally mounted SeaSonic SSR-1600TR, Custom water cooling MORA 420 Pro, Optimus pump/res , Optimus AM5 CPU block, EK-Pro Manifold 2CPU 2GPU- Acetal, EK-RX 7900 XTX GPU block.
I'm tearing down Z690 Apex system that's on wet bench now, originally the plan was to just drop Crosshair X670E board on wat bench and go,.. but decided to modify the AP201 with 37mm x 75mm rubber grommets for PSU cables to motherboard, I plan on running water lines through lower rear IO Slot with WC-50601 PCI Slot Pass-Through Bracket.
I installed a Seasonic SSR-1000TR in chassis front PSU bracket, it fits but it takes up lots of space. So I decided to pull 1000W PSU, and go with externally mounted 1600W.
I'm going to mount EK manifold on front panel instead of internal mounted PSU.
Prepping motherboard with CPU & Optimus AM5 Block.
Still lots of planning to get water lines ran, going with hard line Bykski Metal Pre-Bent Ridgid Tubing- Black Coated Copper 14mm OD for the manifold, and Watercool EPDM 16/10mm black matt tubing with quick connects for all the hardware blocks.
I'll post some follow up photos after I get the board installed, some water lines ran. Lots of cutting, grinding to do before I install motherboard, lol
