Liquid Cooling Enclosure Project V2

thingiverse

This is a brand-new project that got underway earlier today. It's currently in prototype form, but I'm getting the measurements worked out while waiting for parts to arrive. This external enclosure is designed specifically for liquid cooling my MSI GS63VR notebook. To start, I have several design goals in mind beyond the benefits of liquid cooling itself. I want this project to be leak-proof, low profile, and completely reversible - a necessity given that it's a notebook. Additionally, the liquid cooling system must be modular with its own power supply. The dimensions are 260mm x 156mm x 184.93mm. My approach is a push/pull setup where ambient air is drawn from the top and vented through the rear. Here's my parts list: * A spare CPU/GPU heatsink * XSPC X2O 420 Single Bay Reservoir/Pump Combo * Two 120mmx25mm 12v Case Fans * One 120mm XSPC radiator * Multiple quick disconnect fittings * Two G 1/4 Bulkhead Pass through * A 12v fan controller * A 96 watt power supply (12v-8A) - a bit of overkill, but it's future-proofing * And some other assorted parts, along with some custom copper bending...
