The pump that was faulty had been replaced by the supplier so I have a brand new one in a box unopened. After I failed with the first watercooling I ended up putting all the fittings (I only bought 8 which was just enough according to the Corsair Watercool configuration for my basic WC build)...

Hi, A couple months ago I purchased about £600 ish worth of watercooling parts (Corsair HydroX) from OCUK in hopes I could start my first Watercool build. Ultimately, I failed miserbly.. In the end it was a faulty pump, but I gave up and put everything back together and shoved all the old...

There is a dust filter and a vent for air flow where these fans are, so it could either bring air in or push air out. Just not sure what would make sense as they are directly (Technically) attached to the front fans that are intake.

Yes, which is why I've asked for advice on how to better place the fans in the case. The noise doesn't bother me. I'll flip the top and bottom around tomorrow, thanks for that. What about the front side ones, are they OK being intake?

So I bought the Phanteks 719 as an upgrade to my Corsair 680x, the issue I have is that I have a total of 14 fans, currently I just stuffed them in there with this config: 4 Fans on front as intake 4 Fans front side of case as intake 3 fans on top as intake 2 fans on bottom as exhaust 1 fan rea...

Awesome, just wanted to make sure - I have the 2080ti FTW coming tomorrow in replacement of a 1080ti and just wanted to be sure.

I have a 850w EVGA G2. 9900k OC'd @ 4.9Ghz EVGA RTX 2080TI FTW 1TB SSD Asrock Taichi Ultimate 8 x LL RGB Corsair Fans Commander Pro + 2 RGB Hubs Cheers

Just an update - I decided to buy a 850w EVGA G2 PSU and whilst at it troubleshoot the issue till it arrived. I took out the graphics card completely from the motherboard and the issue was still present. I took out a stick of ram and tested each time and the issue was still present I unplugged...

So this looks like it might be the psu then. So im upgrading. See if that changes anything.

Problem is I can do that but it won't get me any results tonight as I wont experience the issue again until an unknown amount of time of the pc being off... so I'll have to wait till the morning now....

I did yesterday. Is there any downfalls to using another one? I think the top one I'm using says "x16" and the other two are "x8"

Its back today. I unplugged the graphics card and plugged direct into Motherboard and I'm getting NONE of these problems. So I assume the Graphics card is toast? It works fine after the lag.... its a KFA2 2080TI SG.

Done the drivers now. Only one I couldn't install was the vga one. I notice a large decrease in time to boot to windows now. The so fingers crossed. Thanks for the advice!

Okay. Just a bit of a weird one, I swapped PCIE slots on the graphics card to test. Upon loading windows, it started lagging really bad again, I looked in Task manager and saw "Driver Installation Module" not only using 12+ MB/s disk usage but 50% CPU and GPU usage. SO I ended that process, and...

So I wouldn't need to get a higher w psu? I've got 132GB left on my OS drive and only install the absolute needed software on it. I tend to keep most software installs like steam etc on my main drive I install the games on - for example if I need to wipe/reinstall the OS I don't have to...
