i will give it this
so better than singlee.
it looks better with the 2 sticks together
cries in poverty
yep
@potent cedar try not to swear pls lol
It's not like I'm insulting someone? 🤔
Oh, I see, didn't see it tbh
no problem 🙃 now you know
what kinda layout is best for fans? 2 in the front are included, and going to get 2 more.
possible spots
front - 2 (included)
top - 2
bottom - 1
rear - 1
There's more to choosing the right PC fan than picking a size, noise level, and bearing type! Linus explains the difference between high airflow and static p...
It can be tricky to find and install the correct computer fans. This episode shows you how pick out and install fans in only a few minutes. FORUM LINK: http:...
Anyone has a good suggestion for liquid cooler at the size of 120mm?
Below 100 will be good but I should be able to handle 150
perfect
heres an inexpensive but good one https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml120l-rgb-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0004-00014?Item=2YM-0004-00014
theres also this one if you want it to look a bit nicer
its a bit more expensive but it looks better imo
Thank u so much
sure
just fyi you wont really be able to overclock that much on a 120mm rad
if youre doing overclocking and stuff get at least a 2 fan rad
but if youre doing a sff pc build and wanna save space with a good cooler, those links i posted will work great
I just needed replace the liquid cooler with the one I have rn because the fan that I bought with the pc is really bad it’s mainly for gaming so I don’t think it will over clock
Just gotta find a way to do it with out my destroying my pc I got this lol
👍
Hey guys I’m think about a 2080ti and I’m also wondering if I need to get a specific cooler for the gpu because I’m planning to ray trace
Also, any good coolers
I suck lmao
If it doesn’t get as many frames as you want just turn up your fan curve, increase power and you might not need to overclock since Nvidia cards overclock themselves
**the power of the bean **
Do you take that to the movies?
what?
oh my god
how could i not remember
f me im dumb lmaooo
forgot about that dumb thing
:D
does the company for fans matter or not really?
I see difference of 2-3x the pric bewteen products
price*
corsair deepcool or coolermaster for that matter
of course price is a factor
then use the bequiet fans
Can anyone can tell me which is the best AIO for pc pc? I am trying to save my money and my budget is $500?
you can get a verrryyy good aio for $500
you dont even need to go that high at all
500 is a good budget for a custom loop
alright before i can recommend any aios, i gotta know what processor you have and if youre overclocking it
Yes and I dont know which is the best AIO for tracking temp, display and flow currents?
Oh I mean like ASUS ROG Ryujin AIO, ASUS ROG Ryuo AIO or corsair?
I have a i7 9900k cpu and Intel Z390 motherboard and EVGA 2070 GPU
your entire pc budget is 500?
or 500 for the cooling?
and what currency is this 500.
EVGA CLCs has flow control sensor.
I mean less $500 For AIO. I have a PowerSpec G353 from micro center
No, not enough room
if you want the best, I'd say go for AlphaCool
yeah i get that we are just saying 500 is what you should be paying if you were to do a custom loop
EISBAER 240
it's refillable, and expandable
so you could loop both cpu and gpu.
or even with EKWBs Phoenix series.
the EK-MLC
You caan buy them prefilled, and it's literally snap together
show me with side panel off.
Hold on
I mean do you want your gpu cooled? or just the cpu?
hmm ok you might could fight a 240mm aio in the front.
Yes
maybe even a 280, but I would need the case.
to make sure
aio tubes might be a bit stretched tho
oh you has x2 120mm at the top
Yes
ThermalTake makes really nice AIOs aswell
Yes and I have thermaltake view 91 case for future of my plan
I think they have longer tubing
might can get @plush wren to verify if it could fit front mounted in your case.
What about that one??
I have a corsair L120 rgb fan
that oled display though is sick
What wrong with it?
Cool and cheap that ASUS ROG RYUJIN
@noble cypress @river gorge The Floe AIOs have about 12 inches of tube length. Since you're going with the View 91, your best bet would be going with soft tubes. You can find those in the Water 3.0 ARGB series.
Also, the 360mm rads have a slightly longer length than the 240mm aios
but do keep in mind that the View 91 case was made with custom liquid cooling in mind 😉
❤
The problem is that the 91 is that I am going to save my money to spend around $10,000 for full custom water loop for 2020 complexes computer design show.
So I made a design this my thermaltake view 91 case plan
neat!
Thx
You're going to spend $10,000 on just a water loop?
h0t
What's wrong with that fps_noob.
I mean it is a bit pricey, but if the guy wants to spend his money on it then so be it
although "a bit" is an understatement if you ask me
Also I came to ask about some advice on getting a CPU water cooler
if it's for a 2020 complexes computer design show, sometimes money is no limit.
I guess so. I'm unfamiliar with the show, so I can't say if it's worth-while
never heard of it either, but imagine it's like any other computex stuff.
show off the most bling.
Right
all I can say is.. it must be nice 😄
but what kinda question do you have about cooling?
So basically I'm deciding if I want to buy this thing here https://www.newegg.com/raijintek-orcus-240-all-in-one-cpu-water-cooler/p/2YM-0002-00024
I've bought some fan's from the company before and they've worked great so far
That is neat, kinda weird placement for the pump though.
but I haven't water-cooler a system before, and I'm a touch paranoid if the pump would leak y'know
I wouldn't worry to much about leaking.
Ah alright
they are built really well, can't say that about Raijintek cause I've never owned own.
but corsair, evga and thermaltake make excellent AIOs
but in a scenario if it would, is there a coolant that doesn't conduct electricity, or is that a marketing term companies throw around?
no you are correct.
non conductive liquid.
you'd have to go through great lengths and man handling them to cause a leak.
love temps, and quiet.
ah ok
I have since Graduated to a full custom loop. 😛
but the other 3 computers here, my wife and both kids have AIO set ups.
Now I don't think I could do a custom loop
I didn't either! but seeing so many pictures, and youtube videos of them.
EKWB makes a "fluid gaming kit"
that has everything you need.
I'll keep that in mind
eeeeeep so excited for that.
ikr
I'm strung out on whether to get the new cpu, or gpu.
I have first gen ryzen right now.
Oh nice
been waiting forever for NAVI
what cpu?
the Ryzen 5 1600.
Oh that's not a bad one
then I have a pny 1080FE.
oh yeah
so getting the NAVI
would just seem better paired.
so I dunno, I keep going back and fourth lol
I guess. Personally I'd probably get a processor
The 1080 ism still a good card, even in the current landscape
yeah. both my cpu/gpu are on the same water loop.
so upgrading cpu would be easier
gpu I'd have to cancel out the water loop and re run stuff.
Definitely
Plus you'd probably have to buy a new plate for the card
yep 😛
Navi is nice, but I'm gonna try and get a Radeon VII because it benefits me more
16GB of relatively affordable VRAM y'know.
for sure
But I hear it still has some whack cooling
yeah
I even contemplated doing a whole custom loop for it because of it.
However, I think I'll just do a custom fan curve in Wattman to balance things out
and I've heard recent drivers have made the card far better to use
Now here's one more question I should ask: Should I mount the radiator on the front, or the top of my case?
I ask because I don't know if there's benefits to doing either.
1 sec
I apologize in advance for garbage image quality
OK the camera quality of that shot can burn
This one is better compared to the other photo that will not be seen
I'd go with front panel mount, sucking air in.
would be good flow for the rest of the case.
with the 3 exhaust
Alright that'sa relief
for a second, I was thinking I'd had to unmount some fans
my fans
Oh no
you may want to top mount it 😛
that's no issue
I was looking into the cooler more and the tubes are 15' (35ish cm)
So it wouldn't be an issue to reach it from the front
sweet
On a side note, who custom loops their RAM?
silly people.
Like I still don't understand the purpose to it
oh I agree.
At least it's better than a custom looped PSU\
unless it's that XPG ram that has the water heatshield
that ram is pretty OP.
4k mhz or something silly
I think it is called Jellyfish
yes
Yeah I'll admit, it does look pretty good.
Hey guys I’m just wondering if anybody knows how viable it would be to custom loop in an nzxt h500i as that’s what I plan to do but don’t know if I need to switch my case
A few things before you custom water cool your mid tower ATX PC... To summarize what I said in the video... 1. GPU length clearance vs typical pump res mount...
I had a question, the name is ironic but anyways, I’m hearing a loud rattling noise that like 20% of the time leads to cracking or popping, I expect it to be one of my front panel fans, but I’m not actually positive, it spins really fast, then while it’s spinning/right before it just stops spinning all together it makes that rattling noise. I don’t have money to replace a new fan, so should I just ignore the sound, or disconnect that single fan?
you could try to oil the bearing
Do you think it would be dangerous to just leave it alone? Honestly I’m still not even sure if the noise is actually the fan, but due to how it runs and what it does when I can hear the noise it’s my greatest assumption.
disconnect the fan.
if you still hear the noise, then you can plug it back in.
if something is burning out, I wouldn't leave it plugged into any power source.
i didnt plug it out but the exact fan i assumed it was stopped moving all together
and theres no noise
i think it is dead
excuese me but i am looking for a cooler for my CPU and im not to sure what to get.I Dont plan on doing overclocking I just want something to cool my Ryzen 2600x well
stock cooler should be plenty
the stock cooler could do the trick. if you want something a bit more capable, you could do what i did and pick up an old wraith FX cooler with heatpipes from fleabay. it does a well job on my 2600
ok thanks
will trident z rgb memory fit under the noctua nh-d15 ? i know it's a beefy heatsink
i'm researching that for you
it would not
the ram is 44mm
and the ram clearance on the D15 is 32mm
wait im pretty sure the ram clearance is 64 if you take off the fan thats closest to the ram
i could be thinking about the wrong cooler
but i think thats a possibility
but that sacrifices cooling capability
also why get rgb ram if the coolers gonna cover it lol
honestly i think the dh15 is such an attention drawer that looks are kinda outta the picture
but its your choice
Well I ended up putting that water-cooler in my system
looks pretty good and made my temps pretty low
The Rajintek one that I was talking to you yesterday about
alright give me a minute for pics
Not as mcu has I though yeah
it ended up dropping my processor heat by 30 degrees under load
I was a bit suprised ngl
I was expecting something like 20
😃
i got a question: so some people say if youre using water cooling over a long period of time the liquid heats up and becomes less effective; is this true?
not true.
👀
but not enough to impact performance, right?
I've ran ark, a very demanding game both cpu and gpu. and my temps stay solid around 55 to 58c.
nice
regardless if I run it for 8 hours, or 1.
ok
sometimes when the build pics look too good to be true i search google images for it lol
lol
but im on mobile so its to hard to do that rn
right
which cooler is this exactly?
That's a Rajintek 240 Orcus
oh, yeah i know this one. enermax and couple others kinda copied their design. not a bad AIO at all
Very nice @dim mist
this is the one i'm running right now https://www.newegg.com/swiftech-drive-x3-aio-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835108223
got a lot of custom parts but keeping it simple 🙂
Nice nice
I like swiftech
yeah not bad
the GPU and CPU blocks i got are from aqua and EK
i have a swiftech CPU block but it's an ancient apogee i bought second hand
their D5 is gud though
Yeah
is it a 1080? that comodo looks well
Ti is a bit toasty but i had some gaming X 1080s that had good temps
WC is indeed a different joy however
oh neat
yeah, such a plexi top tho.
I am still unsure if I even want to attempt doing something like that with my GPU
it's really easy. first time is always scary lol
you could go pre-filled like boX spoke earlier about, with EK-MLC
yup i had couple
I love the concept.
QDC are bit restricting although i'm not sure by how much, would be cool to see results with a flow meter or direct temps
I wish I could afford those QC fittings
yeah
would make taking my gpu out a breeze.
or even the cpu.
bitspower compressions without the asian wording on though.. the old ones. best fittings ever
only because I don't have a drain port.
I've drained it once already, enough wiggle room to tip my pump/res over and empty that way
EK should re-do those again, with a new line
the phoenix aren't bad but are a downgrade in terms of having more plastic over nickel like on the predator
had some leaking issues with rev 1.0
yeah
I got them to send me the revised verison
had contacted them, some guy I talked to via email ran around looking for one in the warehouse cause it was EOL.
happened to ffind one and shipped it to me free of charge.
nice, mine leaked after customizing it, luckily not over anything
the predator I got was from a giveaway I won, was the ekwb/msi 1080 30th edition
worst prize I ever got.
hey it's a neat cooler if you exclude that issue..
thing came in its own custom wooden crate. and when I opened it, it had leaked.
oh.
whoever made it, over tightened every screw, so the plastic on the res cracked.
so I contacted MSI and was like wtf.. I know this was a giveaway.. but how am I suppose to use this?
sent them detailed pictures of all of it
and they're like ok... you go ahead and just keep that... we will send you a msi 1080ti duke cool?
after picking jaw off the floor I said deal.
you can change the pump on the predator with a MCP355 btw, i did so after some time
ended up getting that res from ek, had two working cards :p
then 3 months later the 1080 died.
yIKES
bad vram
yeah, was such an awesome rig too. I hated that I had so much trouble with it
but when it worked, damn it was pretty
MSI to celebrate their 30 years they Announced a new GeForce GTX 1080 30th Anniversary highly exclusive custom built limited edition graphics card to the pub...
is that it? just the thick 120 cooling it? looks a bit meh
i bought the 360 with QDC
yeah it's just the 1080 so makes sense
similar to my V64 LC
just doesn't look as beasty as a 360 going into a card
temps aren't water cooling level low on my duke 2080 but still doesn't exceed about 55C load, so i'm fine. maybe next gen.
besides being newer, how are the temps on the nd h15 vs nd h14 from noctua
probably better
I just recently started gaming on a desktop, i've always had a laptop that I played games on and never really monitored the temp. I would like to make sure I keep this one in good condition. Does anyone know what the easiest way to check cpu/gpu temperatures while gaming are.
Depending on what your mobo is and if you have a watercooler installed, there are various things you can use to monitor the temperature, just look it up on google.
he wants to have it monitored in-game so i might suggest rivatuner statistics
Doesn't rivatuner act like spyware and cause some performance loss?
I'm not big on rivatuner.
I guess it works if you're not crazy about frames.
um no, not really..
rivatuner works fine with no performance overhead or degredation
you can install the rivatuner statistics server next to MSI AB
I don't use any MSI hardware I don't think.
you can still use afterburner though
I can't just use rivatuner?
you can
also, HWInfo64 works very well and has more info than you probably need, but you customize the sensor tracking and what the UI window will show
I use Argus Monitor
General question for opinions here, which company makes the best mid-range (so excluding things like the Lighting, Kingpin, etc) graphics card cooling solution for atx form factor?
thermaltake good
Huh. Probably shoulda specified that I was talking about GPUS....thanks for noticing that
EVGA's ACX coolers are great
So if I'm going overkill by putting a noctua nh-d15s on my CPU, would it be a good idea to have a different cooling solution for the gpu, which will likely be a 2070 or 2080, than the stock card?
What form factor are you running?
Likely micro atx. I'm trying to achieve maximum cooling effect regardless of sound; just wanted to clarify that.
Then tape this bad boy to your system
LOL
It would probably kinda sorta work
If you care about max cooling performance, then you could probs modify your gpu shroud and replace stock fans with some Noctuas™
I kinda want to try connecting my next build to my home ac unit and just blast the system with that thing for a solid day to see what it does.
Yeet, it's going to happen now.
When you say modify the gpu shroud, how complicated of a process is that?
Kinda depends on how nice you want it to look, and what brand your card is
But it doesn't seem too difficult, although you might want to tripple check your warranty
Yes, the warranty is a likely a concern with doing that. But needless to say, I'm interested in modifying those fans
But afaik, it's just a matter of pulling the stock fans out, and plugging in Noctuas in the header, YouTube is definitely gonna do a better job than I would actually showing you how to do that
Lol if I do that, my next build would literally have 12 noctuas in it. Just in a micro atx case
Owo
N I c e
it's a bit overkill but f it
What’s a good cpu cooler under $80
cryorig h7
Will a watercooling pump and resoviour work laying down flat?
i've seen pump/res combo horizontal . they have to be filled 100% though.
I need more coffee lol.
heck you could mount them upside if you wanted to. I wouldn't suggest it.
I got my noctua NH-U14s for like 70 bucks on amazon, it is absolutely amzaing
the U14S is fantastic
Anyone know if Gamdias is a good brand? Can't find many reviews on their coolers
meh
I had one of their mech keyboards...it's chinese generic, basically
didn't even know they were producing coolers
I believe @modern pebble has a Gamdias
I do! It dose its job as an AIO cooler, BUT... my RGB lights crapped out 6 after owning it 😦
so I delided my 8700k, and put a copper heat spreader on it, and man did that make a big difference
@modern pebble Mike thats good, was it a m1A 240R?
This my first time with liquid cooling!
Close! I have the P1A-360R
That's pretty cool! I am a little afraid of the fittings not lasting, and I cant get in contact with support to ask if they will cover my build if their product damages it like other makers would
@modern pebble Do you have any suggestions?
what toolkit would be the best for taking off a gpu cooler from NVIDIA?
Hey, I want to ask about fan cooling. Compare to ball bearing fan, is there any rbg fan that can match them? Any suggestions?
what thermal pads do you guys recommend?
Thermal paste solutions are messy, inconsistent, and impermanent. They'll need replacing every 1-3 years in most cases, assuming you're concerned about risin...
ARTIC ones arent bad either
im talking about for gpus
Hey is a fan with 41 CFM good enough for usage with a liquid cooler?
Well your largest cases have 2-5 MAX...CF. so at 41 CFM you will push the air 10-20xs per min... not the highest fan available but depending on outside conditions: air flow in, air flow out, case surrounded by crap... And fan placement will determine a lot.
Rumor is Static fans are best for coolers.. but that was from 1 report I browsed thru... so not sure if anyone else has an opinion on that
Are M.2 heatsinks just a fad or is it something worthwhile to add to a new build?
some mobos come with them 👀
Would you expect the x570 mobos to have them?
maybe
depends 100% on the motherboard
some do, some don't
it's generally higher end boards that do
yeah
look at server banner in this discord server lol
that one is fancy
rgb and stuff
But does a heat sink for an M.2 drive really make a big performance difference? If it helps with thermals I'd be interested in it, but otherwise I feel like it might be a hassle to find a decent one that properly fits the drive I'm looking at getting
it doesn't not help
honestly
if an M.2 SSD really needs a heatsink, it comes with one
it can help mitigate potential slow down due to heat, but it's not necessary
Okay cool; thanks for the help
Whats like the thinnest cooling fan you guys ever seen
Not that it's thin, but I love the look of the 200mm noctua fans; the proportions are soooo nice
laptop fans are pretty thin
@tazman1982, yeah I have a roswell case, has great air flow out of the back and up top with small vents on the front. Looking at about 4 fans plus 2 more on my radiator. Was hoping I could match the case fans by putting it on my radiator but if 41 cfm at about 900-1800 rpms ant enough I just wont take that chance.
I personally have 6 on my radiator... 3 front pushing, 3 backside pulling... probably overkill.. but... that’s how I do crap. Have 16 fans total... 😳😳🤯
When I upgrade some I can.. want them all to be the same brand.
when should one consider upgrading to water colling
when you have enough cash
right now i have four case fans but i still feel my CPU get's a bit hot. Where cani easily check my cpu temp
@little fractal "Speccy" program from piriform.com or filehippo.com
what programs do you have running? @little fractal
only the ones seen on the bottom
i think i was dolwnloading somethign but thats really it
can i see a picture of the inside of your computer tower?
what about a picture with the computer off and using your camera flash
ok give me a sec to save some stuff
like a good picture facing directly towards the side would be good
hmm barely any dust in the system, looks pretty clean. and the video card temp is fine so no need to look at that. For some reason the cpu temp and mobo temp are high though.
Do you have your cpu overclocked?
No, I don't even know how
with your computer powered on, are all the fans spinning?
Yep, all four case fans and my CPU fan
What model ASUS mobo is that?
Lemme check
ASUS PRIME B450M-A/CSM AM4 AMD B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
So you're using a 2nd device to chat with me, correct?
ok so restart your computer and enter the BIOS using the delete key, or F2 keys, asus manual does not say which
Yea
what does the cpu rpm readout say?
For the CPU fan? 2472
and cpu temp?
68 c
that's pretty warm for sure for only being in the BIOS.
did you assemble this computer yourself?
with the computer off, can you use a philips screw driver to carefully turn the cpu heatsink screws clockwise to make sure they are snug and do not turn any further?
Yes
make sure to check all 4
Ok, I think we found the issue, two of my screws turn like there not going into anything
ok so I would loosen the 2 that are tight and then with a little pressure, push down on the 2 that will not tighten and see if you can get them to catch threads and screw in and tighten
don't loosen the tight ones all the way, just a little bit
I say that assuming one side has the 2 tight screws and the other side has the 2 loose screws but it could be opposite corners.
Yess
let me know if you get all 4 snugly screwed in?
I'm pretty sure there screwed in good. It has this thing to not let you overscrew but it appears they are all in and snug
ok great. please boot back into your bios and let me know the new cpu temp
Delete or F2 btw
I'd let it sit in BIOS 2 minutes then check the temp again
Kk
What is the room temp? You in Europe with 113 F out side?
No, my house is 76 F tho
@little fractal what's the cpu temp now?
Looks like it might settle at 54 or 55
that's better than 68C
Loads
Can you boot the computer and open all the same programs as before when you had speccy open too and check the speccy temps again?
K ok
@little fractal looks like you were running chrome, speccy, norton, discord, voice meeter, and steam.
norton's a pretty good resource hog
his cpu cooler screws were loose
Yep

7C drop in temps
nice
now it's at 67
New thermal paste)
you left the stock thermal paste on the bottom of the cooler right?
oh good
yes
ok
skeered me
i was thinking cpu fan speed control next
whats the exact cpu model?
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 4 core proccessor 3.7 GHz Max boost 3.5GHz base
Straight from the box
well don't get too scared, your cpu max temp is 95C
try closing all the programs except speccy, let it sit a couple minutes and then tell me the cpu temp?
I'm thinking it may be your cpu fan speed bios settings...
hold on...
can you restart and go back in your BIOS and go into "qfan control" and tell me what options are in there?
qfan section should be F6
Standard. Silent. Turbo. Full speed. Manuel
what was it set to?
Standard
All fans or just CPU
just turbo on the cpu fan if you can
Done
alright make sure to save settings while restarting
you booting to windows?
Yes
once you're there with only speccy running can you tell me your cpu temp after it idles for a couple minutes?
Looks like 50c but I'll tell you if it changes
ok
do you hear a louder fan noise than usual btw or is it not really a noticeable difference?
Sometimes it spikes into the 60's but it always comes back down
Also no. Even pressing my ear to my case can't hear a thing
that's good it's not loud...so 50C at idle hmm..
try loading chrome, speccy, norton, discord, voice meeter, and steam and check the temps after they are all running a minute or 2
48-50 with small spikes here and there
Is running a dual monitor set up taxing on the CPU
is the cpu fan loud now with all those programs running?
No
monitors mostly tax the video card
Ok, cause that's what I'm hoping to do when my new monitor gets here
great so it looks like that turbo qfan setting fixed your issue
Cool thanks
I do however recommend, especially since you know how to do it yourself, putting on some aftermarket thermal paste sometime. I recommend "Arctic MX-4"
clean old thermal paste off cpu and heatsink, apply a pea size dot on the cpu, then reinstall cpu cooler
will definitly think about that
it does not need to get done right away but that would help your temperatures even further
cccoolio
enjoy the computer, glad i could help
thanks for helping even tho todays a holiday. Have fun
no problem, Happy 4th of July!

So question, I'm also Googling it as well but Does the GTX 1660ti Have a Waterblock? just doing some theorycrafting. Probably get a 10-series card from the used market or something for some intro into Overclocking and Liquid Cooling. I ask about the 1660ti since it's farely inexpensive and has pretty good performance, close to a 1070(ti? been a couple months since the reviews i watched xD)
is there an EKWB product that is compatible with this? https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-gv-n208taorusx-wb-11gc/p/N82E16814932074?Item=N82E16814932074
i had the same question but found out you should be able to use ekwb g 1/4 fittings on it
@oblique steppe
g 1/4 is the standard.
but for fittings i would reccomend using bitspower fittings
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835181151 im thinking about buying this to cool down an amd powered system, thoughts?
decent 😄
@spring kraken I can't comment on the number of them sold but in this video it shows the card idling at 31C, so I'd say pretty good cooling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me-LcQkLVCM The video will tell you a lot more.

@spring kraken are you planning on buying one?
@spring kraken You're welcome.
Anyone have an extra AIO they don't use I could maybe buy off them?
That still works lmao
I'm talkin' 40$
Jk
I know that AIO
Some dude said on my stream that it had some problems with leaking
if you only have $40 to spend, you shouldn't even be looking at AiOs
@cobalt lark The Scythe Mugen is a very good cooler
It will perform better than almost all 240mm AIO
well there is actually a very good aio
for 40$
heheeee

common sense these days isn't so common though 😐

I'm kidding Ily ❤
Should I be as afraid of liquid metal for my cpu as some people are suggesting?
I don't want to run any risks of damaging my mobo
dang it

Thanks for the video
Is this liquid metal or a paste? https://www.newegg.com/arctic-silver-as5-3-5g/p/N82E16835100007?Item=N82E16835100007
I've seen mixed things floating around
Gotcha; thanks

Would I be able to put this (https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Conductonaut-Grease-Paste/dp/B01A9KIGSI?ref_=bl_dp_s_web_12726538011) on a copper base and not have much or any degradation of the metal?
yes
currently using a 420 lph ppcs raystorm pump. what would you guys suggest as a overclocking replacement?
hydro x? ek d5?
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Pump-Reservoir/Hydro-X-Series-XD5-RGB-Pump-Reservoir-Combo/p/CX-9040002-WW OR https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-rgb-pwm-incl-sl-pump?
The CORSAIR Hydro X Series XD5 RGB Pump/Reservoir Combo features a high-performance D5 PWM pump, integrated RGB lighting and in-loop temperature sensor to drive the world’s most demanding custom cooling systems. Compatible with CORSAIR iCUE
EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. sl. pump) is a High-Performance water cooling pump with integrated reservoir.
thinking of the ek one cause you can change the res tube i dont think you can change the hydro x to a bigger sqare tube
last time i tried after 2 weeks my pump went out had to get a replacement pump and switch it out
but coulda just been a bad pump
ah i just figured the heat was too much for the pump
so many new shinies.
Will this fan be adequate for cooling an 8600k?
I'm upgrading from an 8400 (with stock cooler) and am thinking that the 8600k will need better cooling than that
Are you going to overclock?
I'm going to try to.
The cooler is almost half off and matches my blue led color scheme
But idk if it can cool off an 8600k enough for overclocking
I'm assuming it's at least much better than the Intel stock cooler lol
How much are you willing to spend on a cooler and what is the CPU cooler clearance inside of your case?
@subtle flower
I think it's pretty big. Let me measure.
I am on minimum wage so I really don't wanna push it higher than $30
Gotcha
What's your CPU?
It would match the color scheme
My current is an 8400, I just got a used 8600k for $170, which is about what the 8400 is worth used
So I'mma sell the 8400 for a pretty even deal.
But the stock cooler ain't gonna do much for an 8600k I don't think
Here's a list of compatible coolers
I hope they are all actually compatible; I haven't looked too closely at it yet
I'd almost recommend a cooler master hyper 212 but I'm not experienced in how that will hold up against your CPU
That one seems really nice
not going to be able to oc much with 30 dollar air cooler.
for that price, it's a decent cooler tho
it's the best budget cooler, even like 7 years later
even for OCing?
yes
😮
i mean, you won't comfortably hit 5GHz with it
but it's a $30 cooler
The Intel Core i7 8700k is a beast. But it also produces a lot of heat, especially when overclocked! Can you cool this beast of a CPU with an affordable air ...

Personally I'm going with this hunk of cooling https://www.newegg.com/p/13C-0005-00111
okay so i need help ive looked and looked and looked for a a pump res combo. I want it to be rgb and sleeved and preferably pwm so like the https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-rgb-pwm-incl-sl-pump
EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. sl. pump) is a High-Performance water cooling pump with integrated reservoir.
but i want it to be longer so like the https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-res-x3-tube-250-204mm
Replacement tube for EK-RES X3 series reservoirs. Technical data: - Lenght: 204mm - Diameter: 60mm (OD) / 50mm (ID)- Material: acrylic glass
May be used to upgrade or replace the tube on any of the following EK products:- EK-RES X3- EK-XRES 100 DDC MX 3
but i dont want to buy them both because then its kinda a waste of money
I wasn't looking to overclock to a full 5. Maybe 4.6-4.7
@umbral onyx I have the xres 140 ddc and bought an ek 250ml res on ebay for about $30
it was missing the mounting bracket and screws for the bracket, but I just wanted the tube so it worked out well for me.
I have a question what paste is better for cooling a cpu liquid metal or normal thermal paste
Metal is more heat conductive so in theory metal would be better
Arctic silver probably pretty good
Liquid metal is definitely better for cooling, but it's harder to use and comes with risks
what kind of risk?
Check prices below Liquid Metal: http://geni.us/hrxo7 Premium Thermal Paste: http://geni.us/chUcjPO Standard Paste (that I use): http://geni.us/jSuQA NCASE M...
watch that

Removed old cooler, just waiting for Brown™ to show up with my H75
Reason: Bad word usage
That heatspreader is why I didn't get a 240mm rad
Aaaand UPS bungled it. Didn't buzz. Didn't call. Sigh.
@silent raptor No cursing please, it's in the #rules
Sorry to hear about your failed delivery.
So I put my water cooler's radiator by the front of my case, where the case fans are. Can I take the other fans off of the radiator and use them as case fans?
@obsidian sphinx Yes, as long as you still get enough air blowing through the radiator.
Just picked it up from the UPS store and got the Noctua fan in the front and ready
i just got some new corsair sp120 fans and im kinda confused on what i plug them into
can someone help me out?
@jolly zephyr Do you have a fan hub?
In this demonstration, we'll show you how to connect Corsair RGB LED fans to the JCORSAIR1 connector.
whats a fan hub?
watch that video
oh i see
take a picture of the cord end of one of the fans
the end with no sticker can go directly to your motherboard
you just won't have addressable RGB
what does that mean?
it'll go to a header like that on your motherboard
addressable RGB means you can control the RGB lights with software
The headers should say something like "Case_fan1" "Case_fan 2"
but for that you would an expensive hub
oh ok
so could i just buy an rgb controller to change the lights?
i see something labeled "CHA_FAN2"
yes, you can plug a fan in that connector
your mobo has multiple CHA fan connectors
i only see 1
what is the brand and model of motherboard?
asus prime b450m-a
and if i had an rgb controller, could i change the color of the rgbs?
Well i found two
Not for now. You can buy a fan hub or a splitter cable to plug 2 fans into one connector
damn
guess i gotta screw everything back in now huh
and the fan hub would allow me to change the rgb color with a program like icue?
ok cool
yeah a rgb fan hub would allow you to do that.
or ASUS Aura would change your RGB too since you have an ASUS mobo it would pair up well
ok
https://i.imgur.com/MZAZRzL.png this is so much better than idling at 60 LMAO
Yeah 60C is a high idle temp for sure.
42 is fine in this case because I live in a hotbox apartment complex
lol
ambient is like 28-30 LOL
that's pretty good.
🤔 Disappointed with my Rosewill Case fans any Ideas I will intertain
you wanna go cheap or what?
I got thier Nautilus case and it only has 3 pin fans
was hoping that The Asus Tuf B450m- plus gaming would have more then 2 headers too
will fan expert 2+ recognize all the fans hooked up?
okay, i see that it uses a SATA Cable to PSU? Not to a SATA header?
that's a SATA power cable
the reason for that is SATA power is a heck of a lot better than using Molex 4 pin
yeah for sure
Sofhia
you what now
What's up Matt
Thanks Matt
you got it, man
Matt does this pc run at 60 fps or higher?
K thank u
$600 budget?
Yes
https://www.newegg.com/p/27N-003A-00010?Item=9SIA4RE93K4231 I used this and works prety good
K that one runs over 60 fps for fortnite
yeah, for sure
K thank u
actually
I'm going to order to tomorrow. But if I don't like it could I return it
My budget build
it works for what i need
yeah
future upgradable too
@plain wigeon check that best buy link i posted
yeah, the AM4 platform is wide open for you
Will that run higher than 60 fps
I do a lot of WAR THUNDER
it'll run even better than the other one i posted, yeah
was on a lap slow top lol
gotta do what you gotta do
Matt thank u
you got it
yes
never had better then 12FPS , now I can throttle it at 70 and the game play is so much better
I bought a pc and returned at Best Buy btw I buy power pcs suck don't buy it
they can be hit or miss, yeah
you too, man
ibuypower does make 'em pretty
;)(;
same tbh
we all are
The ram tho
My friend said the one at Best Buy is bad and this one is better
your friend is 100% wrong
hold on i'll get a video
as an example
the GT 1030 is what's in the build you posted
the RX 570 is what's in the Best Buy PC
those two graphics cards are not even in the same league
K thank u do much wanna play fortnite
i don't play fortnite
Oh
and here's a comparison between the CPU in the rig you posted and the one in the Best Buy PC
no hate towards fortnite
i just don't like epic as a company tbh
