watercooling

hey , i'm new to water cooling and i'm waiting a COOLER MASTER MASTERLIQUID ML120 ( for i7 9700k and i will not overclock it ) to arrive,does it use a liquid or something ? and does it need to be replaced after certain time ? if so how many "years" ?

are there gpu aio's like there are cpu aio's??? if not, why cant they make them

So i have a EK Xe 360 and I'm wondering if I can do push pull with different fans. The radiator will be at the bottom of my o11-xl with my 3 Riing trio high static pressure fans on top pushing and 3 Noctua NF-F12 at the bottom pulling. Riing trio fans rpm are 500 ~ 1500 and Nf-f12 doing 300 ~...

First things first, sorry for the long post but I don't want to just confuse people by not giving enough information since all loops are different. Now let me share with you my specs, my watercooling parts and some photos of the loop configuration: View: https://imgur.com/gallery/kZTjzVM...

Good morning everyone, I wonder whether someone can assist. I have built my second custom watercooling loop and running some hot temperatures. The GPU is a RX5700XT, not overclocked, with an EK waterblock applied by the professional seller (ocUK). I think I have reasonable fans (Thermaltake...

Hey all, I got the https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-100-ddc-mx-3-1-pwm-incl-pump (6w ddc 3.1 pump) and I was wondering the comfortable limits of it. Currently, the loop only consists of one block and a rad, and the pump is sufficient. If I were to add another block and another rad, would the...

hello, i am building my first water-cooling loop and i am having trouble finding distilled water, for some reason its especially hard to find in the UK, would it be possible to flush my rads with tap water as i am using EK premixed coolant with anti corrosives in anyway? or do i need to buy some...

Hi, I have i9 9900KF cpu and eventualy I found out that my COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 BLACK EDITION is not enough to keep my cpu on low temperature when I push it hard. I bought myself COOLER MASTER ML360 liquid cooling system. This will be my first build with water cooling and I have few...

Hello So, i bought 4 of these: https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/33007236333.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2742b90aoIrQ28 I dont need 40 fans but i need 12 and they will be far away from each other, each hub will power 3 fans on a 360mm radiator. I have a desk case pc, that is big and fan cables...

So I am currently water cooling an AMD Fx4300 (i know its bad im upgrading soon) and I know that the temperature readings are socking for the FX series processors. Currently my fans run at full 1800RPM constantly but I have found an option in my bios to take them down to 500RPM. This speed is...

Hello, I have builted my new personnal computer. Everything working fine but i have a weird sound coming from the watercooling that's harrassing me. It appears randomly and it's loud. My cooler is an Artic Liquid Freezer II 280. You can hear the sound here: View: https://youtu.be/Qh6qvae0tjA...

Hello Everyone, As the title says, I have my hardware all setup, rigid tubes are all bent and connected to the fittings. I cleaned out my radiators with distilled water just to get the big gunks out. Now I am ready to leak test and flush the system before I fill the loop with the coolant I got...

Hello. Im thinking about puttong together a system with 4x 360mm radiators, one gpu and one cpu. The rad space might be overkill but ill be able to set the fan speed very low. I also want low noise from the pump, so, i want to use 2x D5 pumps working together on a dual D5 pump top, the alphacool...

Can the is motherboard be used with a AIO or Fan cooler, or does it have to be used with a water loop?

So, I do not have an easy access to premixed fluids so I wanted to use distilled water but I still don't know what type of biocide I should use and if the quality of the distilled water matters etc. If someone could avise i'd be extremely grateful.

I was installing a waterblock on my gpu (2080Ti XC EVGA) and after removing the cooler (not forcing it and taking my time) I noticed something fell off the pcb and I think it was a capacitor, what should I do??? This is the image of the capacitor. http://imageshack.com/a/img924/2452/2RoOdE.jpg

So im Trying to get into the Whole ''Custom Loop Cooling'' but as its my First Custom Loop, im not able to spend like 700$ for a Copper block etc. So my Idea was to just buy the EKWB Fluid Gaming A360G and upgrade it to Hardtubes. So if me and my Thoughts are right, it should work if i put 12mm...

Hello, im using Deepcool Captain 120ex for 2+ years, recently i'm cleaning my pc from dust unpluged the cooler, gpu, and all hardisk. but after replug all my pc become hot, the idle position upto 80 C - 90C and sudden shutdown how i repair this condition? maybe somebody have same issues? help...

Hey guys, bought an H115 Pro and am having trouble finding a case that will let me do a top mount set up. I am fine doing a push set up for it, does not need to be a push/pull. My budget is around $150-$200. So far I have found this -...

I am in the process of re-configuring/upgrading my 900d watercooling rig. I plan on watercooling either card with an EK waterblock. I still game on Eyefinity(5760x1080 144hz 1ms). I know with larger resolutions, more vram is appreciated. Would the extra cost for the vii and possible over clock...

Parts CPU: i5 4570 GPU: MSI GTX 1060 3GB OC RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 Case: Thermaltake Core v1 PSU: Coolermaster MasterWatt Lite 700w I'm not planning on oc'ing or anything, but it will be used for light and heavy games and as a HTPC. I want to try to keep noise down and keep things as...

I recently got my hands on AMD's 3900x, and its been incredibly useful for my workload, but by far it's biggest limiting factor for me is heating. It can barely reach 4.00Ghz before I end up hitting 95C, despite my fans' best efforts. Granted, I could probably configure them in a better way...

Hi Everyone, So I'm luckily in the position where I'm able to upgrade from an AIO 360mm cooler to a custom loop kit. There's some pretty good deals out from a few manufacturers that all have pretty good reviews either generally as a company or on a specific kit. I'm hoping people can give...

Hi so I just completed my watercooled PC, and when I was putting in the components the GPU fitted but only clipped at the clip. I cannot push the card any further. I have no signal on monitor but at one stage it was working and I was able to get into the bios. I would prefer not to have to drain...

Hi, can someone please help I'm fairly new to water cooling PCs I think I have made a major mistake I have bent the tube that goes from the pump to the res and I can't get any fluid into the pump so it can't do its cycle. Please someone help me come up with a solution, the fluid was expensive so...

Hi, soo I built my pc about a year ago, for gaming and work. I had an i5-7400 which is still my current one and a GTX 1050 for my GPU. About 2 weeks ago I purchased an RX 570. Straight away I check the temps, clock speeds, and ran benchmarks. It was just as I expected. My CPU was idling at 30 C...

i'm looking to get a cooler for my ryzen 9 3900x cuz the stock cooler isn't that great.. i was thinking of getting the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L. i'm willing to spend around 70 euro on the cooler. Air or water cooling is fine by me. If you guys got a better suggestions please let me know...

Does anyone know 1070 or 1070Ti cards which have a metal plate touching the VRM and the VRAM? I am planning to upgrade this weekend and want to buy a used 1070/1070Ti, and I have little ghetto waterblocks for GPU only on my 960s (I know it doesn't make sense but I like to experiment). I'm...

So ive decided to upgrade my pc, and i want to have 12 silent wings 3 pwm fans (120mm) (a 360mm rad with push pull, and 2 more just push (or pull)) the motherboard I'm getting has 4 fan headers (gigabyte z390 aorus ultra) I'm just curious if it would be able to handle splitting each of the fan...

Hi all. I just got a new loop with new parts Leak tested, after 2 days reservoir got a bit murky. I cleaned everything before installing. (vinegar + hot water the rad 2 times and rinse at least 2 - 3 times) photo below: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yuVnTRR9sbrPF7879 distilled water plus, pt...

Hi, I'm new to water-cooling so excuse me if I sound like a noob cuz I am. Water-cooling Setup: Motherboard - Asus ROG Maximus XI Formula CPU Block - EKWB Velocity D-RGB Pump/Res Combo - Thermaltake Pacific PR33-S Radiator - Thermaltake Pacific CL480 Radiator Fans - 4 x Thermaltake Riing Trio...

So I asked this question a few times now, and the awnsers weren't very clear. So I'm going to rephrase the question. I want to buy an AIO, or build a custom loop (both at least 240ml radiators) My pc has the following headers: 1x cpu_fan 2x cha_fan (or chassis fan/case fan) 1 or more 4-pin...

i want to expand the aoi putting together thos two with the reservoir and the 240 and 120 radiator.

I'd like to replace my Noctua NH-U9B SE2 air cooler, that was enough for my seven years old core i7 2600K, but doesn't seem to work well for my new i9 9900KF (core temperature goes up to 85° under heavy load). I don't intend to overclock yet, but maybe later, in a few years, if the need arises...

Hi Guys, I have installed in my H400 (love that case) a Deepcool 240mm Pro, amazing looking cooler and it works like a charm on my i7 8700k @ 4.9ghz, however moving the case around now the pump makes some noises due of air bubbles; tonight I see if I can position the radiator a bit higher on...

Now I know there prices are different, what I am more concerned about is their performances and their reliability. How well do each of these work on a ryzen 5 2600 when im gaming and streaming (no OC)?

Hello guys, I was thinking about finally jumping on the water cooling train. I would like to cool both gpu and cpu However, I would need some advice. Problem n.1 is definitely space. Because I would like to have 280mm front rad (as a start, maybe expand it with some 120m back rad or 240m top...

So i’m planning a new build that will be my first time doing a full custom loop and I’ve been pondering going with a crossflow radiator for some time now during the planning process but wasn’t sure. The build would be in a Fractal Design Node 304 (yes I know Fractal says that you can only do a...

Hello guys, I just bought Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC and it temps are around 80°C and throttle to around 1600 MHZ. But what is worse is the sound of gass turbine comming from those 3 small fans. I was thinking about NZXT G12 + some compatible AiO. I actually tried 100% fan speed and the...

Someone blew hookah smoke straight into the fan of my pc. I have a watercooling system in front. The hookah smoke smelled really sweet so is it able to do damage after a full exhale of smoke into my pc straight into the watercooling system (and the internal components)? I thought it may create a...
