I have no idea how these work from pictures alone. Do you have a manual or whitepaper with them to explain how they work?

They are designed to drive relays, so it's not going to be a case of just hooking them up directly to your motherboard.

Might be easier for now to just get some momentary switches until you can do further reading on how those capacitive pads work, how to integrate them with relays, and how you can get those relays to operate as motherboard switches.

What switches do you have exactly?

If by capacitive switches you mean actually capacitive touch sensors mounted to mini PCBs then you usually set their operation by solder bridging some pads. So bridge one pair and you get a momentary switch, bridge a different pair and you get a latching switch.

If so, solder bridge to make them momentary switches - which is what you need for a PC power switch - and enjoy turning on your computer with the power of touch!

Is this what you're talking about?

Otherwise all you need are momentary push switches, or push-to-make switches, wired into a 2-pin female Dupont connector. Nothing special about them, they'e everywhere.

Why would you want to mount a radiator on the back of a case designed for vertical air flow?

I'm pretty sure the TJ11 is all aluminium anyway, so it's not a Herculean task to get a 118mm hole saw (for 120mm fans) and punch holes in the back panel. There are plenty of templates online for hole placement for 120mm fans and radiators.

best of luck bud!

Over the years modders have used things like X-Carve, Ooznest and Shapeoko CNC machines and they seem good enough for acrylic, but they're not rigid enough to start messing with aluminium.

For a long time Maki Role/Praetex Design was using a High-Z T-1000 and produced some stunning work, but we're now talking semi-professional equipment costing multiple thousands.

By the look of it the dragon is cut into the surface of the IO cover, so that gives you a nice and flat surface.

I'd get some reasonably sturdy card stock and cut out a cover piece to match the shape of the dragon panel or the entire IO cover. Slap some vinyl wrap to the card stock and just stick it down with some double-sided tape.

Fucking love your jank.

I got one of those blocks floating about, was very impressed with the microchannel density.

who said anything about using the same radiator? AIOs are closed loop systems, you can't (usually) repurpose them into an open loop.

OP has obviously ditched the dead AIO and strapped on a block for use in a totally different loop.

no, the old pump got clogged because Cooler Master fucked up the manufacturing

didn't watch the video, did you

There's nothing special per se about that cable. All you need are 2 wires crimped into a 2-pin Dupont connector for the motherboard, with the appropriate crimps for the military switch at the other.

So really the only tricky thing to find would be the connectors for the military switch and, assuming you can't just solder them on.
