watercooling

My custom loop has a minor leakage below the GPU (see video). There is no sign of leakage anywhere else in the PC. The PC runs completely fine. What can the possible causes and fixes? Is this a bad GPU block? Because I am wondering if there are water stains at places where they shouldn't...

I am testing out a computer I was hoping to have just finished when I found that it will simply not POST when any more than 1 RAM slot is filled. I did the usual RAM diagnostics, and found from Googling that this exact issue actually may be caused by the CPU/mobo socketing. Apparently...

i have a quick question for everyone, ive just build a LIAN LI watercooling loop, i have a rad on the bottom, one on the top and one on the side - i noticed my temps were kinda hot the top and bottom rad have fans on but the one on the side there is not space so it just acts as a passive rad...

Fairly self explanatory, but I've got a Thermaltake Tower 900 as a case, and even with both radiators, it still has room for fans on the top, rear, and even for the HDDS (pages 13-14). My question was: how many are needed, exactly? The case is huge so I'd imagine even with something as large...

Hi. So there is something wrong with my water cooled PC. The screen doesnt turn on, the monitor has detected a signal but the blinking led on the monitor, (blinks when PC is turned off) never becomes constant (stop blinking and shine persistant when PC is turned on).It is as if the PC never...

Lately after playing most general games, I've noticed performance issues. I finally realized that my computer was constantly hot, and if i were to reset my computer, once it turned back on, it said that it had overheated. Tests showed my computer to idle at 75c , and 97c when gaming. This is a...

After watercooling my PC my display randomly loses signal. It happens regardless if I'm in BIOS or Windows. Everything has been working fine for months. I recently watercooled my CPU and GPU. Specs: GPU: Zotac 3080 Ti Amp Holo CPU: AMD 5600x PSU: Corsair 850w Mother Board: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E...

I have a 12V ddc pump. It has a pwm header and a molex connector. No matter how I connect it (motherboard+molex) or even just molex I get the same issue. When I first boot my computer the pump runs at about 70 rpm, not enough to do anything. When I unplug and replug the molex connector while...

Hi, i just wanted to post a quick question. I would like to watercool my R9 290x for potential amazing overclocking and better temperatures. However, i have one CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240R RGB and would like to disassemble it to use the radiator and the pump for cooling. However, this is...

Hey ya’ll, I have some spiderweb cracks in my acrylic CPU waterblock. has anyone ever used a sealant to seal them to stop the cracks from spreading? Is this the best solution if I can’t get a replacement? It’s a monoblock so getting a replacement may not be that easy. What kind of sealant would...

Hello, My pc is (for what I know) correctly installed. My motherboard LEDs are comstantly on, which is normal. But when I turn on the pc every fan and only the LED from the videocard is turning on for like half a second. What I'm missing is: LED from watercooling, RAM and case fans. And ofcourse...

Hi All, I setup a custom water loop for the first time with my RTX 3080 and 10900k being in the same loop. Ever since the custom loop, my CPU has been getting very hot during gaming making my overclocks unstable upon reaching equilibrium. The 10900k during isolated prolonged benchmarks hits...

Hello! About 9 months ago I decided to upgrade my PC. I trusted them with building my previous build, and they were quite reliable, but the company insisted on also dabbling into water cooling they haven't really done previously, and messing with overclocking. Since I'm not a specialist, and...

I have an Aorus RTX 3080 xtreme which I recently water cooled with Phanteks Glacier GPU block. I am running this with an i9-9900k (nothing is overclocked) using a 360mm and a 240mm radiator. In heavy gaming loads (AAA titles at 1440p) I can see GPU temperatures reach as high as 57 -58C and CPU...

Hey all, having a bit of crazy a thermal issue. I have a 5960x overclocked to 4.2 ghz and a 3080ti both watercooled, sharing the same loop. I have 7x 120mm fans connected and running at 1500rpm on two different radiators + an exhaust. The reservoir and pump are separate. Ever since the 3080ti...

Hello, I'm using a new rig that I made recently. This is my first time using liquid cooling, so it just be that I'm being dumb, but I have a Corsair Hydro X XD5 pump/reservoir combo that seems to be pumping yet temperatures are not being kept low and the little "water wheel" in the GPU block...

Hi, I’m finally pulling the trigger on a water cooling setup. Here is my dilemma; I'm planning on upgrading mb's to an AM5 when it becomes available and jumping on that DDR5 life. With that said, currently I have an AM4 and If I install water cooling with my current setup, will I have to...

Hey, I bought myself the NZXT Kraken Z73 AIO , I used to have the Ryzen Wraith Cooler RGB. I watched a Youtube Video for a step by step guide to installing it and followed each step exactly. The PC won‘t boot at all and doesn‘t show any signs of life. I did put back the Wraith Cooler and my PC...

Hello, I have an MSI 1080 TI Armor GPU, as I'm sure most of you know the cooler is horrible on it (Gaming X 1070 IIRC) As such gaming at 1440p is possible but my card temps end up quickly at the high 70's early 80's in celcius, but more importantantly they reach these temperatures long after...

Hi all, After measuring the coolant temperature of my setup, i was wondering if I could add a second GPU to my setup, given that 1080ti prices are down. Here are my specs and information below. Specs: Ryzen 7 2700x pbo 4.3ghz 1.46v Gtx 1080ti 2050mhz +60mv 4x32gb 3200mt Rm1000x psu Radiator...

I am wanting to get a 240mm AIO to mount on the top of my Fractal Meshify C. If I mounted 2 or maybe 3 120mm fans on the front of the case as intakes, could the AIO on the top serve as enough output with no fans on the back side of the case? I am brand new to water-cooling so correct me if this...

Good day to y'all in your favourite timezone :) Complete newbie here asking for some advice on cooler replacement on a PE860 / PE R200 server. I managed to buy two of these beauties in a liquidation sale CHEAP. Both come with a Xeon X3220, 8 GB RAM and 2x 300GB SAS HDD, good enough specs for...

So my cooler bracket of my h100i v2 cant be tightened fully. As you can see the gap with the screw fully on is bigger than the thickness of my motherboard. Is this normal or should it be tight to my motherboard

Hi everyone, I'm planning on assembling an H115i watercooling in a iCUE 465X case. The case is only meant to accept the radiator on front, if I understand well its specs. The case comes with 3 front fans (120) for intake. I'll be adding another 120 on the back to pull air. But the H115i comes...

So I have been looking all over the internet and I'm not entirely sure if it's down to my water cooling noobishness that I can't seem to find a compatible water block. I have the exact model number which is below. The closest match I was able to find was this one here...
