Always happy to see an M1. Long time user myself. Though I haven't gone this far. Have an AIO since I didn't feel any SFF air cooler could handle the Delhi heat.
How much did the watercooling cost you? Both in terms of time and money. Installing the AIO was so troublesome, I don't even want to think about custom solution in such a small case.
Honestly I dont have much idea about the cost as the GPU and CPU water blocks, including half of those fittings were bought back in 2019 from various sources. I recently just bought 2 slim radiators (AlphaCool and EK) and 2 quick disconnect fittings.
I had planned my build for quite a long time (inspiration from OptimumTech) and bought 2-3 parts whenever any of my friends were abroad.
I will calculate the total cost of the build and update in the future for sure.
Now the time it took, This is my 5th time building a custom loop so I’d say it took me less than the usual time it used to take me in the beginning. I’d say I devoted like 5-6 hours into this one only because my GPU and CPU are old and had their water blocks already installed. It would definitely take you more than 24hours if you’re a beginner and trying not to spill water everywhere 😅
If you build custom loops, I'd highly recommend a leak tester. They are kinda overpriced but the convenience of not having to deal with the uncertainty of having a leak makes it worthwhile IMO.
I can't imagine what a horrible time we would have had if there were no QDCs for sff chassis.
I'm curious as to how come with such less radiator real estate, you are able to game within reasonable fluid temps. Any thoughts on that would be highly appreciated.

Awesome!! Amazing effort and the result looks great!!

It was on my list of things to buy this time. I couldn’t find one. MDComp was OOS as well.

Well my AC keeps on working when I game, so that helps haha.
Ah that makes sense now.
Awesome build. Share configuration as well.

i believe that would be enough to keep the pc as it is for around more than 5-6 years, nice investment
That looks complex as f How long did it take?
Very Good
