Had a similar issue with several dozen Glorious' Lynx and Pandas switches. It's always the same thing with them: they'll work great for a month or so, but one by one they all start to crap out (specifically not registering the first press). I might be a little heavy handed, but nothing crazy.
I had the same issue like you. Replaced from Glorious panda to Cherry red silent. Issue gone. This panda switch is the expensive trash I ever spent in my entire life.
Thanks for the detailed response. I didn't actually realize that the 120 GTS was dimensionally different than the XR5. I had heard that Hardware Labs was the OEM for the XR5 rads, and thought that they were just corsair badged GTS.
FYI, the radiators OEM for Corsair XR5 are Black Ice nemesis LS series (in that case, the 120mm rad version is LS120). Less two water channels on each sides, so that's why it's smaller than GTS series.
Well nothing is working for me, my RAM only can be used at basic this is crazy. What can I do? The issue is a motherboard or ram? Have no clue what to do now 😰
Thanks for your compliment :) Add everything as possible in a small volumes is my main hobby since I built custom loop on small SFF cases like Ghost S1 or Ncase M1. Until now, nothing changes even I go with bigger case like AP201.
This is the perfect combination between the acoustic and performance. Also it's cheaper than Noctua fan. The two drawbacks are more thicker and the fan is not fully black (grey color).
Wow, this is what I'm looking for! Did you used some sort of offset fitting on the G1/4 port near motherboard of the rear radiator to avoid the so-dimm daughterboard? I have the same C8I, and I'm planning to put the rear radiator like this, but the only concern is the tubing will hit the so-dimm.
Hi. Very clean build! Especially you can managed to put the slim radiator TX120 on the rear fan placing. Could you please share more images on this section? Because I'm curious how much clearance left between this radiator and the mainboard heatsink. Also between the G1/4 ports with the GPU terminal. I'm planning to put a chunky rad (54mm thickness) but I'm not sure it will colliding with the GPU terminal.
Hi there, glad that you liked it. The FLT pump is a d5 version, and it's strapped to PSU bracket with zip ties and it is sitting above the m.2 daughterboard with no problem.
Hi, thanks for your feedback.My current PC was AP201 with custom loop too (I already reviewed it on my previous post). Last week, I disassembled my PC to put new 4090 and did some measurements. I figured out, not all of 120mm radiators can fit. The maximum width is less than 130mm, therefore the HWLab 120GTS won't fit (133m width). For other 30mm radiators like TX120 (fit perfectly), HWLab LS120 (or corsair XR5 120mm), Alphacool ST30... can place on this area.
Just ordered the micro rotary fittings and the new 28mm double rotarys, with them I can adjust the runs for a cleaner look, hopefully the double rotary drop soon. Can’t wait to try them.
Hi, how is going with your current PC? Did you replace with the micro rotaty fittings? I have small question about the x670e gene. Does the AIO_PUMP header controllable in Bios or run full speed like FS_FAN headers?
AIO pump header offers full PWM control. That’s how I use it rn. Build is running great - the new fittings arrived and are sitting on my desk waiting to be installed. I had little to zero time lately.
I macgyvered it to the frame with cable ties. Holds firm like a boss and has enough spacing between the pump (DDC) and the PSU :) It was actually the only way to make this thing work with a decent layout.
Wow, I didn't see any zip cable ties between reservoir and psu, nice method. Anyway beatiful EK GPU block and Crosshair mobo. But be careful on chassis fan header on this board, only one header can PWM.
I know your feeling. Same thing happens when I'm looking a NVDIA FE card, but they don't sell it officially like the US. Some people sell it with very high price (they said this is rare card, lol) without warranty. Quite frustrated.
Yes, this is a common issue in Ghost S1. Even the case was made from Taiwan or China (my case and tophats was ordered from Taobao), the color of Tophat and case are not the same. Seems like the black color is the only color don't have this kind of issue.
After searching some information on both grills (just only the cooper vs gold grills), so I bought both and make comparison for anyone still decide to pick.
Hey thanks for putting this guide together. I'm running into this issue with the 3090 waterforce and I can not fit the mofo in the top hat. Is the reason you swapped the fans because the stock ones would not fit with dual top hat?
Yes it is. With stock 25mm fans, even you reversed Ghost upside down, the gap is too narrow. You can hardly bend the tube, it works. But not good in the long terms. Last time I resolved this problem by stacking a medium tophat between large tophat an case. You can check
how did you attach the medium top had to the large tophat? Is it possible to stack both tophats on top? it would be better for the AIO if the radiators were both top mounted, vs one form the bottom getting air in the pump.
Can't belive for paired with 2 Colorado vs NC and Tirpitz, or Hatsuharu + Pepsicola vs Kiev + Atago. Matchmaking system is broken or I had an unlucky night :(

Thx for the post but did they use the d.o.c.p? Before modifying the voltage?
I have no idea. But in my case, I enabled d.o.c.p and manually override the VOC voltage. I will recheck the BIOS config later.
Well nothing is working for me, my RAM only can be used at basic this is crazy. What can I do? The issue is a motherboard or ram? Have no clue what to do now 😰
LOL, that's weird. Could you tell me the maximum value of SOC voltage you manually applied? Here is my
Great work and congrats on the lack of smoke! That's always a goal of mine.
Thanks for your compliment :) Add everything as possible in a small volumes is my main hobby since I built custom loop on small SFF cases like Ghost S1 or Ncase M1. Until now, nothing changes even I go with bigger case like AP201.
Did you try to increase max pump speed and tilt the case?
My EK Surface rads have not once had any debris in them...I've flushed them all into a filter but not once had anything ever come out of them.
That means you're very lucky ;)
T30s on a slim rad? Interesting

Yes, I did! I used a
Wow, brilliant solution I've ever seen! With this method, I can keep the C8I without compromise the rear radiator. Thank you for sharing that one :)
This is a stunningly beautiful build. Bravo. What color tubing/coolant will you be using?
Thank you :) I will use ZMT soft tubing + distilled water like my previous build.
i had the same putting my wb 3080 into my 011dxl legit 1mm clearance
You're lucky, congrat!

Nice to hear that, and thanks for your information :)
Nice build. Just a question, are you using zip tie to attach the FLT 120 into the case?
Cheers. I made a custom bracket to attach the FLT to the case using a 30x30mm aluminium angle. The foam is to stop any pump resonance/vibrations.
Wow, that's elegant solution! I don't see this custom bracket. Thanks for sharing anyway.
Just a curious question, how can you mount the EK FLT reservoir into PSU bracket? By glue, or double-sides tape?
I macgyvered it to the frame with cable ties. Holds firm like a boss and has enough spacing between the pump (DDC) and the PSU :) It was actually the only way to make this thing work with a decent layout.

I can't wait to see your final result. BTW, could you publish the full specs of your system please?
I have all the parts at hand now. I hope to finish the build in the next couple days.
Great news. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
You must not be from the USA, I can’t find the Loki anywhere.
Yep, I'm from Vietnam. Maybe living next to China is the reason why Loki releases sooner than other regions.
Awesome, I was born there. I’ve only seen them at ridiculously high resellers prices here in the US.
I know your feeling. Same thing happens when I'm looking a NVDIA FE card, but they don't sell it officially like the US. Some people sell it with very high price (they said this is rare card, lol) without warranty. Quite frustrated.
Aha, nice to meet someone go multiple tophats in Ghost S1. Mine 2 L + 2M:
I see you had matching issues as well

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to actually measure it, surprised you had to do that.
Thanks for your compliment :)
Well, I had the same feeling when punch enemy broadside with
Thank WG matchmaking, this is my big reason I quitted rank battle.
Pick the amagi if you like battleships. I think i have been on a victory streak from rank 9 to 5.
I usually play USN BB in Random battle. But in Rank my teammates are hopeless. I played some matchs with my NC but can't carry my team.
This was my entire weekend. WG has worked their magic on me and I will never get out of Rank 8.
Can't belive for paired with 2 Colorado vs NC and Tirpitz, or Hatsuharu + Pepsicola vs Kiev + Atago. Matchmaking system is broken or I had an unlucky night :(
