92mm radiator size or 92mm cooler clearance..?

[deft star]

Well I want a water cooler but all the exhaust fans are 92mm so...

I’m going to measure clearance later today tho after lunch

[low pumice]

92mm aio is just gonna get annoying so if you could fit a good air cooler, I'd do it

There's this, but you have to buy mounting kit AND the fan separately
https://store.asetek.com/products/asetek-645lt-92mm-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler

which takes the price up to like 140usd

[twin urchin]

there are several good 92mm air coolers available

water cooling is probably stupid expensive for such a small size

[low pumice]

@twin urchin I mean, 92mm is only the fan mount, who knows about actual case clearance

maybe it'll fit a u12a

[twin urchin]

i was thinking scythe katana (maybe) or the shuriken 2? one of those is 92 mm

also maybe 120mm big shuriken 3 might fit also since its a downdraft cooler

[low pumice]

or like l12a if it's tiny case clearance ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[safe star]

is there a big difference between 240 and 120 aio ???

[low pumice]

think about the fins

[twin urchin]

yes

[low pumice]

double the fins

it's like doubling the heatsink on an air cooler

do you think it'll be better?

[safe star]

it’s cause a friend has mid tower , his case can fit perfectly 360m aio but he bought a 120m and i told him that better buy a tower cooler or something but

[low pumice]

120mm aio is just

dumb idea tbh

[safe star]

it’s for super small case

[low pumice]

then use a NH-L12

[twin urchin]

120mm AiO only makes sense in certain small cases with severe space restrictions

[low pumice]

tbh I just don't see any use in 120mm aios other than itx

and then only maybe

[safe star]

it was for i79700K

[low pumice]

doesn't change anything

like a NH-L12 will still keep that cool

even some OC potential

[safe star]

and also he is fanboy of intel 😭😭😭😭

[low pumice]

oh well

to redeem them

Noctua rates the L12 to be able to keep it decently cool as long as the PL is 175w

[knotty eagle]

Pls don't 120mm AIO

[dawn hawk]

need 40mm aio

like this but longer

https://www.amazon.com/Alphacool-NexXxos-Copper-Radiator-Triple/dp/B00IF6P0S8

must watercool server

[twin urchin]

wow

[distant kernel]

if you have very little case clearance, liquid cooling is awesome

[magic sparrow]

Two of the three kits I've gotten. Now to wait for the third

[low pumice]

bykski op

[cobalt jacinth]

why wont my aio work the fans spin but no rgb on the pump and it wont work

[knotty eagle]

Most likely because it needs to be plugged into a USB 2.0 header and software installed

[low pumice]

@cobalt jacinth you sure there isn't a pump connector that you haven't plugged in?

[cobalt jacinth]

hold on

how do you put up a pic

[knotty eagle]

What AIO is it?

You need more posts to post pics

[cobalt jacinth]

cooler master 240

[knotty eagle]

Kk, hang on

[cobalt jacinth]

non rgb

[knotty eagle]

But pump has RGB?

[cobalt jacinth]

on the logo

[signal ice]

hi i from poland

[knotty eagle]

It's this one then?

[cobalt jacinth]

@signal ice Hello

[knotty eagle]

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-liquid-coolers/masterliquid-240/

[signal ice]

is there any people from poland?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[knotty eagle]

Ah

kk

[signal ice]

ty jesteś?

[knotty eagle]

Yeah, logo lights up

That's it

No RGB on the logo

[signal ice]

i don't speak inglish very well

[cobalt jacinth]

the logo lights up

[knotty eagle]

Yup but it's not RGB

White only

[cobalt jacinth]

no rgb

[proven solstice]

thats not an expensive aio

[signal ice]

that pink one?

[cobalt jacinth]

@proven solstice im poor

[proven solstice]

ok

if you wanted rgb then spend more

[knotty eagle]

So now that RGB is out of the picture

[low pumice]

@knotty eagle I think they mean no lighting up

[knotty eagle]

What do you mean by "won't work"?

[proven solstice]

from the description it is working fine

they said fans are spinning

and the logo is lighting up

[cobalt jacinth]

the fans work but my cpu goes to 80 degrees when i open 2 tabs

[signal ice]

can as help me witch computer?

[proven solstice]

did you apply thermal paste?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[knotty eagle]

back up

What motherboard?

[cobalt jacinth]

b365m ds3h

[knotty eagle]

K, stand by

[cobalt jacinth]

ok thank you

[signal ice]

is that computer is good? Intel Core i3-10100F
ASRock H410M-HDV
Patriot 16GB (2x8GB) 2666MHz CL16 Viper Elite Grey
MSI GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER VENTUS
SilentiumPC Vero L3 500W 80 Plus Bronze
KIOXIA 480GB 2,5″ SATA SSD EXCERIA
KRUX Trek

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[low pumice]

What's the price?

[cobalt jacinth]

for 1080p

i have a i3 9100f

[low pumice]

It depends on the price

[signal ice]

i from poland

and it was 2500 pln

[knotty eagle]

Ok, so the pump should be plugged into CPU_FAN

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[knotty eagle]

Cooling fans into SYS_FAN1 o2

Ok

[cobalt jacinth]

ok

[knotty eagle]

Now, in the BIOS, you need to turn the CPU_FAN curve to 100%

[cobalt jacinth]

pk 1 sec

[low pumice]

~700 usd ~560 euros

[signal ice]

and on this computer i can play gta and forza horizon 4?

[low pumice]

It's decent

1080p medium settings should be okay, 1650 super is a fairly low end gpu

[knotty eagle]

Set it to 100% all the time

Should be a setting for that

[signal ice]

soo it was great GX 1650 super?

[low pumice]

I'm gonna guess something got lost during translation

[signal ice]

soo it can be better in this price?

[low pumice]

Gimme a moment

[cobalt jacinth]

it didnt work

[knotty eagle]

WDYM didn't work

[cobalt jacinth]

my cpu is still really high in temp

[knotty eagle]

I'm guessing you used the wrong standoffs for the pump then

You set the CPU_FAN to be 100% all the time?

Full speed?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

its says 0 rpm

[knotty eagle]

OH

That's an issue

Stand by

[cobalt jacinth]

ok

[knotty eagle]

Might not have RPM feedback though

[cobalt jacinth]

cpu is at 81

[knotty eagle]

Is the pump 3 or 4 pin?

[cobalt jacinth]

4 pin

[knotty eagle]

And it's plugged in on the header on the upper right hand corner of your motherboard?

[cobalt jacinth]

the cpu fan

yed

yes

[low pumice]

@signal ice looks like that's about as good as you're gonna get, only real better options I can see are ~4000PLN on x-kom

[knotty eagle]

SOunds like a bad pump then

[cobalt jacinth]

😦

[knotty eagle]

Try setting all the fans in BIOS to FULL SPEED and see what happens

I'm just curious about something

[cobalt jacinth]

ok

[knotty eagle]

OWAIT

Important!

Fan Stop function: DISABLE IT

Make sure fan Control mode is PWM also

[cobalt jacinth]

ok

i did

i did it

[knotty eagle]

You did all that in the BIOS in less than a minute?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

i put it in easy mode

but it says fan profile cpu N/A

[knotty eagle]

SO it's not detecting the pump

Try this

[cobalt jacinth]

yes only the fans

[knotty eagle]

Fans on CPU_FAN, Pump on SYS_FAN 1 or 2

might be a bad mobo header

On the off chance

Set everything to 100% full speed

[cobalt jacinth]

ok 1 sec

i wish i could show you a pic of it

[knotty eagle]

Can now

Green name

[cobalt jacinth]

oh lol

[knotty eagle]

Here's the thing

If the Fans work on CPU_FAN but the pump still doesn't work

It's a bad pump

[cobalt jacinth]

this is what it looks like off

[knotty eagle]

Ye, that's right

No

*NOW

Swap the pump and fan cables

Make sure the fans work on the CPU_FAN header

[cobalt jacinth]

i did

[knotty eagle]

Set everything to 100%

Ok and?

[knotty eagle]

You're completely power down the PC when you switch cables, right?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[knotty eagle]

Ok

Do the fans work on the CPU_FAN header or no?

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

[knotty eagle]

Ok

Does the Pump read on the SYS_FAN1 header or no?

Still high temps?

[cobalt jacinth]

one sec

it says na

[knotty eagle]

Bad pump

Return it

😦

[cobalt jacinth]

😦

[knotty eagle]

But hey, at least you know

[cobalt jacinth]

i got it yesterday i was so happy

😦

[magic sparrow]

f

[cobalt jacinth]

f

[naive quest]

i bought a fan and it doesnt light up do i need to get something with it for it to work

[knotty eagle]

1 cable or 2?

[naive quest]

1

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm

Might be bad then

Fan spins?

[naive quest]

yes

[knotty eagle]

Ye, bad lighting in the fan then.

[naive quest]

ok thanks

[left hamlet]

Can you turn off the led in a white LED Corsair fan

[knotty eagle]

Don't think so

[left hamlet]

Oof they’re so bright at night and the internets so slow

[rigid hedge]

Quick question, does the amd ryzen 5 3600x stock cooler a good cooler?

[low pumice]

good nuff

[rigid hedge]

I have the h115i pro right now, but when I try to put to the front of my case, the power button wires are pressed along the radiator

so there is no breathing room at all for the power button wires. Is that fine, so should I just install the amd cooler instead?

[low pumice]

front io doesn't need breathing room

[rigid hedge]

Wouldn't the power button become damaged over time

[low pumice]

as long as you're not bending it at a weird angle

[rigid hedge]

The wires above the green label are pushed against it when the radiator is installed

[faint cave]

And the fun can start. Amazing quality.

[coarse herald]

What's a good software to monitor temps?

Or does that require sensors

[twilit abyss]

msi afterburner

[rigid hedge]

Is it okay to apply thermal paste even if the stock cooler already has preinstalled paste?

[twin urchin]

don't do that

[rigid hedge]

So I don't need to ?

[twin urchin]

no

thats what the pre applied paste was for

[rigid hedge]

lol true

Thanks

[idle tiger]

coretemp

[rigid hedge]

Just to be sure, the ryzen 5 3600x stock cooler has preapplied thermal paste right?

[knotty eagle]

Yes

Gray circle on the bottom

Covered with a plastic cup

You'll know it when you see it

[faint cave]

D5 next and another d5 mmmm high flow

[rigid hedge]

thank you

[rigid hedge]

Another question lol

If I placed the stock cooler on the cpu, can I take it off or would it damage the thermal?

[knotty eagle]

Once you take it off, have to replace paste

[rigid hedge]

What would happen if I don't replace the paste

Cause I just reinstalled the cooler

[twin urchin]

bad thermal transfer from CPU to heatsink

[rigid hedge]

Is it a really big problem if I dont replace the paste?

[velvet rain]

Yes

[rigid hedge]

What is the worst thing that could happen

[velvet rain]

Uhh cpu overheats

If u take it off then u should replace

[rigid hedge]

What if I do not want to overclock, cause I do not have thermal paste right now

Cause I took it off only for a minute

[velvet rain]

Hmm

Was it new before

[rigid hedge]

Brand new

out the box

[twin urchin]

i mean... its better than no paste at all i suppose

but still not good

[cobalt jacinth]

i need help

[vivid citrus]

@cobalt jacinth about what

[cobalt jacinth]

with my ao

aio

[knotty eagle]

We already figured out

The pump is dead

Non-responsive

[topaz blaze]

Will Noctua NH-U12s be enough for stock operation on 5900X

[lucid ocean]

If I replace the fans on an x63 with two cooler master MF140mm, is the reduced static pressure going to significantly effect cooling capacity?

[unique lily]

👑maselkoDC👑#6281 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[twin urchin]

For you noctua fanbois

[safe star]

someone knows how many and what fans should i buy for a td500mesh???

[twin urchin]

You will want 3 intake and at least one exhaust

Not sure what stock fans are in that case

[safe star]

i think it includes 3 intake

so should i buy only 1 fan ?

[low pumice]

@buzz aldrins space diaper#9946 as if we Noctua fanboys don't check the roadmap smh
#building-and-recc-chat message

[twin urchin]

yeah, maybe 2 if you feel like it and put it rear-top. assuming there is mounting spot there

[safe star]

can you recommend me a good fan ?? not expensive

[dreamy badge]

got any recommendations to cool my 5950x

[twin urchin]

Dark rock pro 4

[twin urchin]

Scythe Kaze flex 120 or 140

For non rgb

[safe star]

i’ll buy a 4 fan pack

and i got already 3 intake

how should i put them

[knotty eagle]

Depends on CFM

Compare CFM to current fans

[cobalt jacinth]

well i got a refund on my cooler master 240 and got this for 50 dollars https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-liquid-coolers/masterliquid-ml240r-rgb/

[knotty eagle]

Hey, upgrade!

[cobalt jacinth]

🙂

you type fast

lets hope this works

is this one good for 50 dollars

?

[knotty eagle]

OH yeah I type fast

100+ wpm

I mean

It's the same as your last one only RGB

SO fingers crossed

[cobalt jacinth]

yes

i have lke a 30 wpm

also rgb gives you 300% more performance so

....

[willow steeple]

hey guys, i have a 240mm radiator and am wondering if its worth to pay extra 20 bucks for 360

it would throw off the entire aesthetic in colors, but it will be 360

[knotty eagle]

Depends on what you're cooling with it

[willow steeple]

also i need help with my fan setup in my lian li pc011-dynamic. I have 3 fans intake on the side/front and then was planning to use 2 fans through radiator as outtake on top. I have two extra fans that i am not sure where to use them. I was planning to do intake on the bottom but someone said thats too much in not enough out

its for a 5900x

but i dont plan on doing really any major overclockinng

[topaz blaze]

I think you’d be better off with the 240 just doing push-pull config

[fleet sail]

Hey guys and gals, I need assistance finding a reasonable cooler for an Asus Gtx 1080 ti Turbo. I know the accelero series could work on it but is there any other coolers that would work for a reasonable price? Ping if you have something please and thanks!

[dawn hawk]

the stock cooler will work fine

[fleet sail]

Thing is the one I’m getting is coming without a cooler.

[dawn hawk]

accelero is ur best bet then

[knotty eagle]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Efficient-VRM-Cooling-DCACO-V800001-GBA01/dp/B00HHMJIIO?tag=linus21-20&th=1

[fleet sail]

That’s what I was thinking just wondered if there were other options.

[knotty eagle]

Or this for an AIO

https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-g12-white

[fleet sail]

I might go with the kraken if I can find a decent 120-240 Aio to use with it.

[knotty eagle]

I believe you have to use their AIO with it

120mm

[fleet sail]

I thought it was just the bracket and you have to buy the Aio separately.

[knotty eagle]

Right. But it needs to be a Kraken AIO

Supports the latest Kraken Z63/Z73/X53/X63/X73/X42/X52/X62/72

[fleet sail]

the G12 is compatible with more than 30 liquid coolers on the market.

So I’m assuming there’s probably a compatibility list.

NZXT
Kraken Z73, Z63, X73, X63, X53, X72, X62, X52, X42, X61, X41, X31, X60, X40

Antec
KUHLER H2O 920V4, 620V4, 920, 620
Zalman
LQ-320, LQ-315, LQ-310

[knotty eagle]

Ye that

just found it

[fleet sail]

If only they supported evga’s 120mm Aio.

[knotty eagle]

EVGA's fans are garbo though

I have one, I replaced them. They're loud

[fleet sail]

True but their pump efficiency is one of the best if memory serves.

[knotty eagle]

Ye, I have a CLC360. Good cooler with new fans

Asetek 5 or 6 pump, can't remember

[fleet sail]

I had one I really liked but yeah fan Speed past 60% was not tolerable.

[knotty eagle]

I put beQuiet Silent Wings fans on mine. Holy better

[supple delta]

Hi i have question on my fan on the radiator. Where should i connect the 3 radiator fan do i connect it on chasis fan or cpu fan?

[dawn hawk]

love silent wings

[knotty eagle]

Fans should be Chassis or SYS fan, pump should be AIO or CPU fan

[supple delta]

And do i just go to bios and set it up as pwm?

How would it be pwm related to cpu ?

[knotty eagle]

Temperature

UNless your AIO came with software

[supple delta]

Temperature of cpu or motherboard?

[knotty eagle]

CPU

[supple delta]

My aio came with software nzxt cam but when i put it on chasis fan i cannot see it thru nzxt cam

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm, where does the AIO manual say to hook it up?

[supple delta]

I forgot

[knotty eagle]

I would grab another manual from NZXT and double check

Depending onthe model, they differ a tad

Some need a USB 2.0 header and Sata power, some don't

[supple delta]

Mine is x73 rgb

[fleet sail]

Think the ID-Cooling 120Vga FrostFlow would work on the 1080ti? Or would it be to under powered?

[knotty eagle]

1080TI TDP is 250 W, that cooler is 225. Plus you'd need to get VRM heatsinks, which you'll need anyway

[fleet sail]

So it would be too weak?

[knotty eagle]

Ye

[fleet sail]

Ok

[knotty eagle]

1080TI TDP is 250 Watts

so you need something that can handle that

[fleet sail]

Might go with the accelro for now then upgrade to a kraken x52 later down the road.

[supple delta]

The manual doesnt say it where to plug in the radiator fans

[knotty eagle]

what cooler

[supple delta]

Nzxt x73 rgb

[gritty comet]

I have a 240 mm AIO in a phantrks p400 digital case. I’ve heard super conflicting ideas over proper AIO positioning. Should it be intake or exhaust? Where should and in what orientation should it be?

[knotty eagle]

Hmmmm, if your mobo has SYS_FAN I'd try that over chassis fan. Fans might not be controlled in NZXT cam but make sure all your drivers are up to date and try again.

[supple delta]

Yeah i plugged in mine to chasis fans and doesn’t see it on nzxt cam

[knotty eagle]

I am not familiar with NZXT cam software so I can't help much here other than to make sure connections are proper

[clever token]

if i buy a cpu cooler will it be better than stock?

[knotty eagle]

Probably

[clever token]

its the Antec C40 38 CFM CPU Cooler

[knotty eagle]

Intel or AMD?

[dawn hawk]

works for both

[knotty eagle]

Well, was asking about stock cooler

[dawn hawk]

oh true

[knotty eagle]

The AMD heatpipe stock cooler is pretty good

[dawn hawk]

amd stock coolers are honestly beefers

[knotty eagle]

And that wouldn't really be an upgrade

Unless it's the cheap stock cooler

Just a chunk of metal

[dawn hawk]

but the one CM makes is nice

[still echo]

hey guys, I have an h100i elite capallix and i was wondering if anyone knew a good fan curve for a ryzen 7 3800x?

[forest orchid]

okay so

whats really wrong with water cooling at this point

[low pumice]

Price

[knotty eagle]

Pretty much

[forest orchid]

wait so you dont actually have to supply your fans with water

i thought that was true

[low pumice]

Wat

[cobalt jacinth]

is the cooler master 240r good for 50 dollars?

[twin urchin]

for $50, yes

[low pumice]

Nf-a12x25

[left hamlet]

how would one rate this cooler for a ryzen 5 3600 https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-BK008-Pure-Rock-Slim/dp/B01KVNCEIG/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=cpu+cooler&qid=1608525428&sr=8-14

i just reached 103C with a stock cooler playing arc

[knotty eagle]

wat

Even stock shouldn't be that high

SHould be high 60's to 70's at mose

There's a problem there. It's either mounted incorrectly or not enough airflow in the case

Ello?

[left hamlet]

?

I mounted it correctly

there is definitely enough airflow

[proven solstice]

what case?

[knotty eagle]

Stock cooler not overclocked it should be 60-70C at most

[left hamlet]

phanteks p400a

[proven solstice]

hmm yeah something sounds wrong

[knotty eagle]

Are you SURE all the screws are tightened down properly and the cooler is square?

[left hamlet]

yea

should be

[knotty eagle]

What's the idle temp?

Is the fan spinning up and getting loud?

I would get some thermal paste

Remove the cooler, clean it and the CPU and reinstall it, making sure everything is snug

It really shouldn't be that hot with a stock cooler. And make sure your fan profile isn't on QUIET or something. make sure the fan is spinning up when it gets warm

The beQuiet cooler is good if you want to upgrade though. Just shouldn't be a needed purchase

[left hamlet]

One sec

Ok thanks

I run around like 30-40 idle

Btw

I also tried to check if the screws weren’t tightened enough and one was slightly loose but Ima check my fan profile as well

[knotty eagle]

is this the ARC listed on Steam?

[left hamlet]

Yes

[knotty eagle]

The reflex game?

[left hamlet]

Arc survival evolved

[knotty eagle]

OH

Ark

LOL

[left hamlet]

Yea

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm, it's a beasty game but CPU shouldn't get that hot

[left hamlet]

I tend to miss spell it

I think it just spiked to that temp

[knotty eagle]

It's fine. There's some spoopy games on Steam, was wondering if you got a weird one that had a miner lumped in or something

[left hamlet]

Ok thanks

This is my first build so I don’t really know what I’m doing and I’m new at setting it up

[knotty eagle]

All good

Learning experience

[left hamlet]

My fan is running at 1.6k rpm in bios

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm, I don't know what the RPM should be on the stock cooler

[left hamlet]

Same

[knotty eagle]

usually there's a place to change the curve

Like a graph

You can move the points

IE 100% at 70C, 909% at 60C, etc

[left hamlet]

That’s sorta what I have

[knotty eagle]

Ok, might have just been loose then

Poor contact

[left hamlet]

I also replaced the thermal paste because I messed up the first time

I used thermal grizzly kyronaut

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm

How much? Pea sized drop in the center?

[left hamlet]

Yea

[knotty eagle]

I would set the 75% fan to maybe 50C

Otherwise it looks fine

[left hamlet]

I’m sitting in windows casually and my temps are from the 40s-50s

Hm

[knotty eagle]

What motherboard?

[left hamlet]

Msi b550m

Pro something

[knotty eagle]

Oh, should be fine.

[left hamlet]

Pro VDH wifi

[knotty eagle]

I mean, they do tend to have a high idle temp

40-50

But shouldn't get above 85 while gaming

[coarse herald]

How are ya monitoring the tems afterburner?

[left hamlet]

I’m using HW info

[coarse herald]

Hmm

[knotty eagle]

Yeah I'd try gaming again

If it still gets hot, take it apart, Clean it with alcohol, do the thermal paste again and make SURE it's screwed down correctly

Really shouldn't need an aftermarket cooler for it

[left hamlet]

Ok

Yea I’m running 80-91C at times when playing ark

I’ll try to replace the thermal paste again tomorrow

[knotty eagle]

Mmm, that's not terrible but yeah, might be worth a reseat

If it's still that high after you try again, get the other cooler

[left hamlet]

Alright

I know where some of my Christmas money will go to now 😂

[knotty eagle]

lol

[left hamlet]

I have 3 Corsair fans in the front and 2 stock fans as exhaust

One at the back and one at the top from phanteks

[knotty eagle]

SHould be fine

[left hamlet]

I also got a case with good airflow to stop this from happening ;-;

also i should remove my mesh filter on an exhaust fan huh

[knotty eagle]

Ummm, nah

If the Corsair fans have more airflow, might wanna consider turning them down a bit if you can

[left hamlet]

ok

[swift pumice]

So if u make your fans spin at 2300 rpm it looks like the blades are spinning slow and there is more blades

[knotty eagle]

LED flicker rate + fan RPM = weirdness

LED's aren't a constant light

😉

[swift pumice]

I kinda want to see someone make a custom loop with a plastic tub for the reservoir and put dry ice in it.

Condensation will probably form on it or the tubes but it’s for science

[topaz blaze]

noctua cooler vs aio

[brisk rain]

Depends what for

For most anything, noctua cooler

For high end oc or looks, aio

[low pumice]

Also keep in mind the performance gain is really minimal in the grand scheme of things

That's why only really high end oc

[brisk rain]

For the record, I want a raspberry pi cooler that uses the noctua mini fan

[low pumice]

The 40mm bois?

[brisk rain]

The 20mm

[topaz blaze]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Noctua/comments/kequro/even_their_novelty_keychain_fans_have_highquality/

[brisk rain]

Hang up, that's the 40mm

Where'd the 20mm boi get to

[low pumice]

@brisk rain they're the 40x40x20mm fans

20mm thickness

[brisk rain]

Yeah, I could've sworn they made a 20mm cube

Maybe that was a different company

[low pumice]

Might've just misremembered because of the x20 in the name

[brisk rain]

Possibly

It was a half u though

[topaz blaze]

i keep having people argue that my PCPP list is horrible because of the prices listed on PCPP
like the nhd15s chromax listed as 275$ so they call noctua an expensive crap brand...

[low pumice]

You can edit it to set custom price

[topaz blaze]

but none of them realise theyre looking at 3rd party border line scalper level pricing because its out of stock

[low pumice]

Also, if you don't build for a few months, I suggesting waiting for the NH-U12a chromax

U12a is bae

[topaz blaze]

im waiting on the chromax white fans 😍

[low pumice]

Both q1 2021 so

[topaz blaze]

i literally saw a single noctua f12 chromax fan on NEWEGG today, priced at 14,000$

and people still not understanding the part list i have is out of stock prices and say the whole brands trash, and theyre top brands

https://www.newegg.com/p/0VE-0269-00001?item=9SIAFJGBA73613&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-_-accessories - laptop cooling-_-shenzhen topping battery co. ltd-_-9SIAFJGBA73613&source=region

im still really curious about how much of an improvement the d15a will be when it releases

[low pumice]

D15a?

They already named the d15 successor?

[topaz blaze]

the d15 successor is the A series version of the d15

[low pumice]

It was still just "successor to the d15" or whatever on the roadmap last I checked

Guess I missed the news

[topaz blaze]

d15a is just my guess at what it would be called

because thats how they named the u12

[low pumice]

I mean

They went D14 then D15

My guess is D16 next

But they haven't said anything about naming yet

[topaz blaze]

true

last updated 2 months ago, white fans in Q2, eh

[wary ore]

replacing some fans for a heatsink. Can 3 pins connect to 4 pins on motherboards? I read they can but have no control is this true?

[agile roost]

Anyone here have any opinions on the pre-applied paste on some coolers? Will they suffice if you have no other paste lying around?

[burnt goblet]

yes

[burnt goblet]

yes, its fine

[marble gorge]

i have a coolermaster 240 ml water cooler and there's suppose to be rgb lights on it, when i download the drivers i should see the lights come on, where should i download it from?

[knotty eagle]

You aren't using the included RGB controller?

[marble gorge]

i didn't see no controller when i got the box

i can check again

[knotty eagle]

Hmmm

Need to know exactly which one you got then because there are many different RGB 240ML models

[marble gorge]

https://www.newegg.ca/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0004-00015?item=9SIAH2M9598874&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwordscamkpl-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwordscamkpl-pc-_-pla-isanek-_-liquid+%2F+water+cooling-_-9SIAH2M9598874&gclid=CjwKCAiArIH_BRB2EiwALfbH1CceQY2pz4CyXOdtbCiSrCuXvOXQvD-0GCJskoV3MjoETVe4sUwDxhoCTBUQAvD_BwE

[knotty eagle]

Ya, there's a controller there

Little box with buttons on it

Check your instructions.

Bottom center of this pic, little black rectangle box

[marble gorge]

oh ok

[knotty eagle]

Should be buttons on it to change the RGB colors and patterns, etc

[marble gorge]

but would i need to download drivers to get the cooler to work or is it with a click of a button

[knotty eagle]

no drivers needed

Should just work

Plug the pump into the CPU fan socket

Fans into the SYS_FAN or CHAS-FAN port

[marble gorge]

well the pc is already put together lol, and it was a hassle and a half lol

[knotty eagle]

Yeah, AIO's can be a PITA

[marble gorge]

no controller

[knotty eagle]

Ehm, then you have a different model

[marble gorge]

https://www.newegg.ca/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0004-00015?Item=2YM-0004-00015

this is the one lol

[knotty eagle]

Seems you're missing the controller then

I'm not sure if the RGB will work plugged into the motherboard

But if it will, you'll need the MOtherboard RGB software to make it work

[marble gorge]

i think: because im big dum dum, when i brought my pc in to be built ( i can't be trusted to build pc's) the guy who built it put the controller in with my 3 rgb fans at the front of my pc

and just assumed there was a program to turn on the fans for the top of my water cooler

[knotty eagle]

Fan control will be through BIOS or Motherboard software because they're plugged in there

RGB will either be the controller included or motherboard software, depending on how they're plugged in

[marble gorge]

if i have a gigabyte mobo i just go onto the website and download the mobo software or something?

[knotty eagle]

Depends on the Mobo, which one?

[marble gorge]

gigabyte

oh lol

[twin urchin]

you have to make sure they are actually plugged in to MB though

[marble gorge]

[amber lotus]

what liquid cooler and what air cooler have the lowest temps?

[dawn hawk]

custom loop

[amber lotus]

custom loops suck tho... i did one for a client once and it S U C K E D

[knotty eagle]

use soft tubing

[unique lily]

cyroVR#2245 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[amber lotus]

that sucks too

i'd rather get an aio or air cooler

[knotty eagle]

EVGA CLC 360 AIO, replace the fans

Stock fans are LOUD

[amber lotus]

would silent wings 3's work?

[knotty eagle]

Yes

that's what I bought in fact

[amber lotus]

nice

[gleaming raft]

is there any big difference between the wings'3 and the wings'2 or are they both good ?

[knotty eagle]

A little bit

3 has better airflow and more air

They changed the fan housing shape

[quiet cipher]

What’s that one cpu cooler from cooler master that’s supposed to be good

I can’t remember which one it is specifically

[knotty eagle]

Air or AIO?

[quiet cipher]

Air

[knotty eagle]

The Yper 212?

Hyper

Don't, it's not good anymore

Better things out there

Stock AMD cooler for example

[quiet cipher]

I have an intel chip

With a cheap thermaltake cooler that isn’t good enough

[knotty eagle]

https://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Rev-CPU-Cooler-Support/dp/B06ZYB8K77

It's another $10 but worth it

[quiet cipher]

That going to fit into a mid tower case?

I have a 600w psu

[knotty eagle]

Yes

120mm fan

same size as 212 but thicker

More cooling

[quiet cipher]

Also it’s a microatx board that won’t be a problem right?

[knotty eagle]

Nope

[quiet cipher]

I just want to make sure it will fit in the case

[knotty eagle]

It comes with a backplate

[quiet cipher]

Ok

[cobalt jacinth]

what is that a car engine

[sacred thunder]

building my first pc what cooler should I use?

[dawn hawk]

budget?

@dawn hawk I must convert you towards NH-U12a :P

[coarse herald]

Can I use the pst on with two of these

.2 amp and i believe no was told a header can use up to 1

On most cases

[dawn hawk]

@low pumice im a bq shill

[twin urchin]

@coarse herald you should be able to do 5 fans from one header

at 0.2 amp

[coarse herald]

Cool

I only have 2 140s that I'm putting on the one header for the mean time

I'ma have 3 120s one another and another 120 for exhaust on another

[runic lion]

Anyone know when the Phanteks Glacier One 360MP is gonna be for sale on NewEgg Canada?

[wispy mountain]

i have normal CPU cooler i want to install liquid cooler is that will effect in the CPU ?

[runic lion]

If you install it correctly, Everything will be fine.

[ivory arch]

Hey yall. I think my stock cooler might be leaking oil. What do?

[vivid citrus]

Oil!?

What stock cooler?

[knotty eagle]

Oh

[ivory arch]

From the bearings I'm assuming

[knotty eagle]

SOme fans have fluid bearings

new fan time

[vivid citrus]

Probably not stock ones tho

[knotty eagle]

Mmm. some do, depends on the cooler. Probably an AMD cooler

[ivory arch]

It's whatever AMD fan comes with a Ryzen 5 3600x

[vivid citrus]

The wraith spire i think

[knotty eagle]

Round or square?

[vivid citrus]

It should be round

[ivory arch]

Round

[knotty eagle]

K

[low pumice]

3600x is wraith spire

[vivid citrus]

Its the spire yep

[low pumice]

I think the non-led one, don't remember which varient

[knotty eagle]

Well, there's the Wraith MAX also, ya never know

[ivory arch]

Yeah not the led

[low pumice]

yea there's a spire version with and without the red led

I have the wraith spire from a 2700 that has a red ring of led

[knotty eagle]

Yes

[low pumice]

too many varients

[knotty eagle]

Then there's the Wraith Max

[low pumice]

max is a prism without rgb basically

[vivid citrus]

The r7s=< all have RGB

[knotty eagle]

Ye

[vivid citrus]

r5s sometimes

And r3s not yet

Not to mention athlon

[knotty eagle]

FOund a reddit thread where someone replaced it with one of these but didn't really say how

https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-001D-00008?Description=be quiet pure wings&cm_re=be_quiet_pure_wings-_-9SIA68V3S01902-_-Product

Might just be best to get a new cooler

[vivid citrus]

But back to your thing @ivory arch a cheap cooler is prob better

[unique lily]

rizlfoshizl#7029 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vivid citrus]

CM hyper 212 evo not bad

[ivory arch]

Whoops

[vivid citrus]

Oof

[knotty eagle]

CM Hyper 212 over rated

[vivid citrus]

Its ok in my book

In expensive and good looks/cooling

[ivory arch]

Any recommendations? Also does AMD have a warranty on it? Cuz its only a few months old

[knotty eagle]

Oh

Yeah, get an RMA

Warranty FTW

[vivid citrus]

Is your board OK?

[low pumice]

Gammaxx 400 >:P

I don't know if they have a warranty on the stock cooler, do they? @knotty eagle

[ivory arch]

It's not much oil but it's around the walls of the fan. I think maybe a tiny bit sprayed the back of the GPU but I can't tell

[knotty eagle]

3 years

Yes indeedy!

Bro idk. I have the worst luck, everything has gone wrong with this thing lmao

If I upload to imgur can I link? Lol

[vivid citrus]

I think so

[main jetty]

How fine would it be to air cool an RTX 3070?

[knotty eagle]

Just fine

Stock coolers are fine

[low pumice]

btw amazon has gammaxx400 for cheaper and shipped from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-GAMMAXX-400-Blue-Compatible/dp/B00JQ2YDCY/

[main jetty]

ok

[low pumice]

@main jetty there's no reason not to just leave it stock for 3070

they're not that hot

and heatsinks are quite competent

[main jetty]

okay thanks for the help

[ivory arch]

My link keeps getting yeeted

That gammax is a solid choice? Might order that so I still have a fan while I get my RMA bs all sorted

[knotty eagle]

Yes

No links until more posts

😉

[ivory arch]

Ahh ok

[runic lion]

So anyone got any idea when the Phanteks Glacier One 360MP AIO will come to NewEgg Canada?

Its on NewEgg.com but no Canadians can order from there.

[tiny raven]

First time coming into this chat and all I read was stuff leaking😂

[dawn hawk]

cheap and looks good

[stiff crypt]

[low pumice]

@dawn hawk Gammaxx400 tho

[dawn hawk]

imo its uglier

[low pumice]

@dawn hawk gammaxx gt

Gt is the rgb one

[dawn hawk]

i like the 212 black

[fleet sail]

So I bit the bullet this morning and bought a non opened and not used Corsair h100i v2 on Mercari.

[low pumice]

good luck

[livid mantle]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074WH52BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_K734Fb3P0H9Z2 is this a good AIO cooler? I’m not sure about sticking with the stock cooler on an i5-10400

[low pumice]

...

[fleet sail]

I mean for 60$ for an Aio that usually costs over 100$ I think I got a deal.

[low pumice]

it's a 10400

[fleet sail]

A bit overkill for an i5 10400

[low pumice]

@fleet sail Just make sure you're familiar with the return process and requirements ;)

@livid mantle meh, just get a decent air cooler imo

clc is loud

and overkill

[fleet sail]

Oh I am. Had plenty of things go wrong in the past so I’m rather aquatinted with the rma and help teams.

[low pumice]

It's what makes buying 2nd hand annoying :P

[fleet sail]

Indeed but the best deals are usually second hand so it’s a dice roll

[low pumice]

Best deals are usually r/hws >:D

[fleet sail]

Fair enough.

[livid mantle]

Aight thanks

[topaz blaze]

Should I set my fans in a custom fan config or the preset fan configuration that it comes with?

[vivid citrus]

depends, how is it running now?

[peak elk]

im running a i9 10900k on a h45 cooler, should i upgrade? i wont OC

[knotty eagle]

Yes

120mm AIO isn't enough

[peak elk]

what should i get

is h100i good?

[knotty eagle]

A 240mm AIO at the least

H100i is good yes

[peak elk]

im on a budget

tell me a good budget cooler

that will do the job

[knotty eagle]

K, lemme look

[peak elk]

thx

^

[knotty eagle]

What kind of budget?

[peak elk]

idk

[knotty eagle]

Air cooler a possibility?

[peak elk]

yea whatever works

just a good cheapo cooler

[knotty eagle]

Mmm, cheap and cooling for 10900k don't go together well lol

[knotty eagle]

YE

[dawn hawk]

@viral fjord i see why ur fanboy now

[viral fjord]

@dawn hawk do u see those temps

that's a $30 cooler

[knotty eagle]

Wait

That cooler doesn't list LGA1200 as compatible

We good?

[viral fjord]

and it includes like $6 of thermal paste

LGA1200 is compatible with all LGA115x

[knotty eagle]

TY

I'm not an Intel person

[viral fjord]

exact same mounting holes

@dawn hawk do u see that i5-10400 idling at 18C

room was 17C btw

and it was q u i e t

[knotty eagle]

air cooler

[viral fjord]

ID-COOLING SE-224-XT is really incredible

looks pretty good too

so good for $30

[knotty eagle]

10900k good?

[viral fjord]

hmm

[knotty eagle]

Ye

[viral fjord]

it can probably do 10900K on stock but i doubt you can oc

[knotty eagle]

I'd prefer at least 6 pipes for that

[viral fjord]

gotta keep expectations realistic for $30 lol

it smashes the CM 212

[knotty eagle]

Everything does

CM 212 is over rated

[viral fjord]

and the enermax $30 cooler

yes well it's a good point of reference because of its popularity

😛

[knotty eagle]

I loathe that cooler

[viral fjord]

i think you could definitely oc a 10600K on this cooler

[knotty eagle]

So yeah, I'd say the ID COOLING 240mm AIO or the Scythe Mugen B

@peak elk

[viral fjord]

i was wholly unimpressed with my first scythe product but i hope it was a fluke

ordered a scythe kaze flex rgb 120mm fan

[knotty eagle]

The Mugen B does really well

[viral fjord]

out of the box it was making a horrific grinding sound and the leds could not do white

[knotty eagle]

240mm AIO level well

[viral fjord]

i set it to white and it was a pretty deep shade of pink

i was confused bc it was a well reviewed fan

so maybe defective

[knotty eagle]

Ye!!

[viral fjord]

i've been wanting to try one of their air coolers, but most of my customers have low enough budgets to justify a $30 cooler at most

[low pumice]

Gammaxx 400 >:D

[knotty eagle]

Not for a 10900k LOL

[maiden delta]

You think they'll ever restock the ek aios on Newegg or Amazon so I don't have to pay 40 bucks tax to get it straight from them?

[knotty eagle]

Eventually

[livid mantle]

Guys, I have 3 spare fans for my case (1 pre installed on the back) should I install 2 on the front and 1 on the top? Or 1 in the front and 2 on top

[knotty eagle]

2 front 1 top or maybe all 3 front depending on the case

[trim ocean]

my p400a comes with three intake fans, and i got one exhaust fan and it works fine. i'd recommend 3 intake if u can fit and have good airflow

Speaking of which, my exhaust fan is a Corsair LL120 and the RGB is only flashing red, any ideas? iCUE doesnt detect the fan, so that doesnt work

It does this and turns the RGB back off, then repeats

[proven solstice]

you have it connected to a lighting node pro, right?

[trim ocean]

NGL. no clue what that is. Plugged straight into an RGB header on the board

into a 12V rgb header, i think. would have to check the cables

Mayhaps plug it into RGB hub built into phateks p400a? idk if that would work or not, cuz different RGB

[proven solstice]

it will not work directly plugged into mobo

[trim ocean]

lul, bet

[proven solstice]

lighting node pro is corsair specific rgb hub

[trim ocean]

ye, i aint got one of those haha

[proven solstice]

why not get a 3 pack of sk120?

it matches the rest of the fans

[trim ocean]

only needed one exhaust

also, not enuf fan headers

would need to buy a splitter

[proven solstice]

fan splitters, (can get a 3-1 for cheap) and they sell singular sk120 for $17

[trim ocean]

do they sell single fans?

hell ye brother

GIB

[proven solstice]

https://www.newegg.com/phanteks-ph-f120sk-drgb-pwm-case-fan/p/N82E16835709163?&quicklink=true

[trim ocean]

might just get a single one, then slap the LL120 on other side of the 212 for push pull

or maybe put it on top for exhaust, idk

but definitely picking up that single fan

[topaz blaze]

My AIO wasn’t cooling the cpu when I was updating windows 10. Any ideas why?

It automatically shut down on its own

Yo

[strange marlin]

quick question, i have two diff sets of fans, one set is the 3x Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ARGB fans, and the second are 3x CoolerMaster SickleFlow fans, i tried to have them use the same ARGB header but only 5 out of the six fans light up, but when i seperate the headers, it works perfectly fine but im sort of disturbed by the not in sync RGB

[topaz blaze]

Can someone help? Sickle flow 140mm fans won’t light up they both spin and were working perfectly fine last night now they spin but no rgb

[topaz blaze]

Fixed the issue for some reason mystic light decided to turn its self off

[cobalt jacinth]

Got my new aio

2600x

[dawn hawk]

no

[empty sigil]

dam

i get 60 on load tho

[knotty eagle]

2600x idle should be in the 30's

Even on a stock cooler

[empty sigil]

im on stock aswell

[cobalt jacinth]

well gn merry Christmas hope you get what you asked for 🙂

I ordered it, but its not shipped yet :P

[onyx reef]

Oh

That's the one with the mirror Waterblock

Why not just get the rgb version @runic lion

[runic lion]

what...

You mean the 360EX RGB? The one that comes with all the MF120 GT Fans?

Thats not avalible on NewEgg Canada yet. :/

Cant get it from the states, since the bad canadian dollar, taxes and import fees would make it twice the price of the regular Castle EX. lol

[onyx reef]

Jeez rip

@runic lion this your first aio?

[runic lion]

4th actually

1st was a cooler master 360, 2nd was a DeepCool Captain Pro V2 240mm, the 3rd was an Asetek 280mm, and now the deepCool castle 360EX :D

[onyx reef]

Your others just not last you long? @runic lion

[runic lion]

Sold them with other builds I made :p

Im keeping the Asetek one though. Got sent that for a sponsorship :p

Anyone here know of any good kits to do a custom water loop?

[dawn hawk]

ekwb

[dawn hawk]

first off actually whats ur budget

[jovial halo]

Thx @dawn hawk was just on the ekwb site and the kit it recommended is out of stock. just looking into it now but probably spend 200 or more depending.

[low pumice]

200$?

that's a bit low for a kit

[jovial halo]

the kit recommended was 279

[dawn hawk]

https://www.primochill.com/

is also good

but for $200 id get a nice aio

[low pumice]

I'm gonna say either Bykski or Barrow kit

for ~300$

[dawn hawk]

and call it a day

[low pumice]

yea if the budget is 200$, just get a good aio

[dawn hawk]

even better, a wicked air cooler

[low pumice]

NH-U12a >:D

[jovial halo]

can spend more just looking at pricing right now to see what is out there

[dawn hawk]

dark rock 4

[low pumice]

@magic sparrow where's the cheapest storefront for the Bykski kit atm?

Demonmit said he got his barrow stuff from
https://www.performance-pcs.com/

[jovial halo]

will check them out thx for the info.

66-70 acceptable load temps for an R7 3700x with an air cooler?

[wide gale]

is that under stress or idle

cause under stress thats fine, idle ehhhhhhhhh i would try for like a least 9 more degrees down

[cold sable]

is there a 12v rgb to 5v argb adapter?

[knotty eagle]

No

The components need the different voltages, adapting it will burn it out lol.

[cold sable]

is the cooler master addressable rgb 1-to-3 splitter cable usefull?

[knotty eagle]

if you're running 3 fans it is

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08174WFGL/?coliid=I22KGTW0779CH&colid=Q9RGHIJE0YAF&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

i bought that

it has its own hub but my cpu cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1SQDDJ/?coliid=I104O6EQ2FPGZM&colid=Q9RGHIJE0YAF&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

is currently occupying my only 5v header

[knotty eagle]

So, is it only a 3 slot hub then?

Or 5 slot since you got 5 fans?

[cold sable]

It has 10slots

5 on each sides

[knotty eagle]

Ok, so plug the hub into MB and the CPU fan into the hub?

[cold sable]

The hub only has 4 pin no 3pin that's why

[knotty eagle]

Wait, you talking power or RGB?

[cold sable]

Rgb

[knotty eagle]

Cuz, 4 Pin RGB is 12 volt, 3 pin ARGB is 5V

[cold sable]

I need to sync the rgb

[knotty eagle]

If you don't have a 3 Pin 5V aRGB header, this system won't work with your computer. Or it will work off the hub but you can't sync it

[cold sable]

I mean it has power on but I didn't plug the 5v header to the motherboard 5v header. Only my cpu is plugged to it.

[knotty eagle]

Right, so the RGB is powered ONLY from the hub that came with the fans

[cold sable]

Yes

[knotty eagle]

Are there switches on the hub to change the LED colors?

[cold sable]

I have a controller for the fans only

[knotty eagle]

What motherboard is this?

[cold sable]

Tuf x570 plus wifi

Only 1 5v argb header

[knotty eagle]

Ah, I have that board

It has a 4 PIN aRGB header, kk that makes more sense

[cold sable]

Yep

Any recommendations?

Not changing mobo

[knotty eagle]

Reading, stand by

You say the hub needs a 4 PIN header?

Hmmm, so the fans use 4 PIN RGB plugs but are 5V ARGB.

Dis weird

[cold sable]

Yep

It's asian horse

Well I need an extra one 3 pin for argb

[knotty eagle]

Looked them up on Newegg

This was interesting to see and makes more sense now

"TIPS: The asiahorse controller and the fan must be used together

1. please do not use our rgb controller to connect other brands of RGB fan.

2. please do not use our fans to access other brands of RGB controller"

Seems like it's intentional so you can't mix and match stuff

[cold sable]

Hmmm

RGB Convertor - Convert 3-pin (+5V) ARGB Fans to 4-pin (+12V) RGB Capable Motherboard,NOT Compatible with ASRock Motherboard (RGB Convertor) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CT9R8FR/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_J5S5Fb2X1GRVH

How about this? Will it have conflict with it?

[knotty eagle]

Yes

They are using a 4 pin connector for 5 Volt aRGB

Hmm, lemme read that again

So, that to 12 V RGB mobo header, then the 3 pin fan cable hub to that might work

But I've never used one so.....YMMV

[cold sable]

Hmm if so it works

Then I'm getting it.

[knotty eagle]

Ye

[cold sable]

Maybe once it's back on stock.

Thank you for your time.

[knotty eagle]

YW

Looks good white BYW

*BTW

[cold sable]

Happy holidays, thank you.

[true wedge]

Here i am, just sitting and waiting, for my EK parts to arrive!!

[grave furnace]

I am tempted to spend my christmas amazon gift card on noctua fans

they are expensive but I will probably be able to move them to all my future builds

[vivid citrus]

good idea

[true wedge]

@grave furnace you would be able to. Especially if you get the ones with the custom rubber corners to match your build theme

[grave furnace]

yeah I would go all out and buy the chromax fans
