Water Cooling

I know people have done copper pipe tubing and it can be a pain to bend the pipes. I know you can buy softer copper that is more malleable but even then it seems like more trouble then its worth. My question is could you solder on fittings for bends and such, or would the solder used cause...

Hello, I have just built my first cutom water cooler I believe I've built it correctly The problem is, while idling the CPU temps goes arround 33-36C While gaming it goes to 70 instantaneous and stress testing it goes to 75-76C Here's the things i've tried so far: Check thermal compound and if...

So this is what i know and please don't slam me for this: I don't believe DIY custom loop thing is only meant for uber high end server junkies / vfx engineers which can or have to spend thousands of dollars on just cooling their components. It's also an enthusiast thing and anyone can do it...

So hear me out; I see everyone mounting radiators upside down to the front of PC cases, but would the heat not better distribute if it was able to travel upwards as heat wants to into the fins where it can be dissipated? I get that people do it the other way mostly out of the necessity to fit...

Hi all! Just finished building my first PC, got a 3800X CPU, X570 aorus ultra and i'm using the new NX800 case. I wanted to try out the AMD stock cooler before buying/installing a water cooler for the CPU, the reviews for it were actually pretty good, but its too noisy for me, it has 2...

Hello everyone! The other day I decided to overclock my MSI rx 570 to try and squeeze out some extra performance and I used nzxt cam as I have a kraken x52. I put the voltage to 5% and increased the core and memory clock in 50 mhz increments until it crashed. Then stupidly I decided to increase...

My pc started doing a strange sound idk but i think is the watercooler Where is the video View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxoTizHQbko&feature=youtu.be

Hey there, I'm going to make custom loop in my pc and I'm worring, can I run everything without problems. I have a be quiet straight power 11 650w 80+ gold PSU Ryzen 3600 @3,75GHz (probably going to OC a lot more) B450 A-Pro max 2x Hyperx Pedator 8gb 3000mhz ram 2x 5400 1,5TB HDD drives 860 evo...

Hi, I recently upgraded my CPU, Motherboard and RAM, old specs were: i5 4590 hyperx 8GB DDR3 2x4gb 1600mhz asrock b85m pro3 I built this pc when i was pretty young and just wanted to have a water cooler because it looked cool. i knew i couldnt overclock my cpu but i didnt care. The AIO i have...

Hello, one day ago i bought some "Thermal Paste" because my CPU was overheating, like 90°C -100°C . I applied it to my CPU and placed my Corsair Hydro CPU Cooler (Water Cooling), on top of it. It worked fine for a day, i had a maximum of 60°C, but now after one day, it's overheating like crazy...

my water pump not running the water everything is connected. i dont understand what is the problem is. Mb= asus rog maximus hero xi Psu= phanteks revolt pro 1000watt Pump= ek xres 140 d5 rgb pwm

So I have an EK pump that started making a rather loud annoying noise. I had just finished bending the tubes to add my GPU to my loop, filled it back up, and this is what it was doing. The only think I can think of is I put primochill prep in again since the GPU never had the prep but the rest...

Sorry in advance for not having a picture, I didn't think about it before I left for work. I just added my GPU to my custom loop and had limited tubing to make my bends, one of which needed to have 4 separate bends since I didn't have any extra 90s. The tubes are not straight, they definitely...

Hi guys recently bought the Asus ROG Strix x570-E gaming mb (installed a Ryzen 7 3700X fyi) I asked the guy about water cooling and he suggested the thermaltake water 3.0 now that fits my thermaltake case but the sockets don't match up with my amd mb. Did he accidentally give me the wrong socket...

Hey wonderful folks. I'm about to install my water cooler into my pc. What I'm unsure about is whether the fan or the pump should be connected to the CPU Fan 4 pin slot on my motherboard. I'm a little confused about this one since I've seen different responses and answers in my searches online...

I have a Corsair H60 (2013 version) cooler in my computer and the CPU is an AMD FX8350 running at stock frequency. It's a pretty old rig I built it back in early 2015 and the CPU never overheated so I didn't really worry about temps. However, a few days ago I noticed that both of the cooler's...

I wish to water cool a AMD FX 8300 and overclock it a bit. I compiled this list of parts. CPU block: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32918709647.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4f733c000Xzk4k Radiator: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32908657121.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4f733c000Xzk4k Pump,res. combo...

I'm having an issue with my NZXT X61, I've had some issues previously, but none related to this. This time (after a case swap, everything is plugged in correctly), no matter what I set the fan speed percentage to in the CAM software the fans continue to run at 1200-1350 RPM. It's rather annoying...

I have a Deepcool Tessaract case, Asrock AB350 Gaming motherboard, AMD Ryzen 1500X CPU, and MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4G OC GPU. What is the best water cooler to use for both my CPU and GPU?

How effective at radiating heat would be a ~8 x 12" thin copper sheet with a fastened thin copper pipe in a coil fashion? After doing the former, I'd take a copper-color suitcase with a recess then place the sheet so the piping would be like with 2 holes at the bottom (just like the former...

Hi, About 6 months ago I bought a custom built PC, which was assembled in company and sent to me. About a week ago water cooling system started to get really loud. Noise is similar to vibrating sound. At first I wasn´t so aware of it, but now it´s really annoying. What do you think it is and...

Hi, im new into the overclocking world and was just messing around with my CPU and digging through the forums and wanted to try out overclocking I have a i5 4690k with H60 for cooling and I was just wondering is 4.3GHz @1.205V a good overclock and why my cpu temperatures go up to 100 degrees...

Pretty much just what the title says. I'm looking for a 280 mm specifically. What are your recommendations?

So I just purchased a new PC and I've been doing some testing with it because this is my first PC to have water cooling for both the CPU and the video card. My thoughts are that the ambient temp inside the case could hamper the water cooling, or am I overthinking things...? The case has a...

I strongly advise you to read manuals of your AIO water cooler before doing this (I used Corsair H100i V2). this is the mistake that i made as a newbie and now found my stupid mistakes. If the manual says to plug pump cable into CPU_FAN header you should just do that. ignore PUMP header...

I have a z370 A Pro mobo, i7 8700k, and a GTX 1660Ti. I've wanted to get started with water cooling since my system is so temperature demanding. I bought a corsair h110i 280mm cooler. I was informed that my current mid tower case is not big enough to fit my cooler in. I first looked at the...

I'd like to know if my cooling solution which I have my current system will be good enough for the 9900 k and my 1080ti and possibly be upgrading to 3080ti or whatever it's called when it comes out? Yes I will be overclocking? Proposed new build and will be keeping all other parts on my current...

I have an FX 8350 undervolted to 1.264V at 4.0GHz, and my H110i GTX is brilliant until the liquid gets to 38°, then the fans jump repeatedly between a slow speed and 100%, then stay at 100% once the liquid reaches 40°. This is really annoying as I thought the liquid could safely get much hotter...

In a hypothetical situation, what are the best things I could do to make a laptop better suited for Overclocking? Better thermal paste? Water cooling? Are there any water coolers designed for laptops? How about external water coolers, if that exists? Thx in advance! Sorry if it's worded badly...

Idea popped in my head while looking at my backlit watch, why not merge the monochrome lcd technology used in watches with traditional LCD displays to create true blacks. You'd have the monochrome and color lcd sandwiched together, allowing to turn each pixel black. For even more contrast their...
