I could take the impeller from the koolance and swap it in.
#general-chat
scarlet carbon
mortal grail
D5's are worth repairing if you can repair it
Save a good hundred to couple hundred
scarlet carbon
getting new impellers though is practically impossible.
mortal grail
You never know
I guess it's my background, I'm very much a "Make what I have last" kinda guy lol
Not afraid to snipe something cheaper if it's perfectly functional used
scarlet carbon
so am I, and I wish I could just simply swap the impeller instead of replacing the entire freaking pump.
If I didn't want/need the 450 for another project I'd steal the impeller.
mortal grail
$45 and you get a whole pump at that
Can nick the impeller from there if you need looks
scarlet carbon
I don't trust EBAY unless I need something for the parts... I don't trust corsair though either...
especially their D5 pumps.
mortal grail
Could check how similar this looks to yours
They're both d5 so odds are it's compatible
Wait no that's not the impeller alone
Nvm
scarlet carbon
the Impeller for the strongs are slightly different...
mortal grail
It looked like one until I saw the "rotor" part and saw all this extra stuff behind it lol
scarlet carbon
I have the 12/24 volt pumps
I been a newegg customer for years, I went through the Bitwit and Paul Era too ๐
mortal grail
Lots of other pumps here but they're all over 50
You could swap the pump out the housing entirely potentially
scarlet carbon
I need a different housing for the pump really
mortal grail
Depends how it connects up, if it has a res on top
Etc
Most I'm seeing with reservoirs are over 100 tho if you don't include the corsair ones
scarlet carbon
The one that failed is the second pump I bought 2 years ago, The other XSPC came from a build that was supposed to go to a friend/Customer.
mortal grail
It doesn't have a warranty?
2 years seems like it'd be in warranty
These things are normally expected to run for 7+
scarlet carbon
I could ask Titanrig, however I think it only has a 1 year
or 2 and either way I'm pretty much bent.
mortal grail
Xspc has a disclaimer at the bottom for 1 year
That seems hilariously short for a pump tho
scarlet carbon
I'm not about to pay another 160.00 for two brand new Koolance pumps

If you're there then you know my rig ๐
I see like 1000 rigs a week
I have no memory of even the pc's I saw yesterday

right, however I'm the only one I know of on Watercooling that has a TT Core WP100 LOL
with the same name minus the 01 ๐
mortal grail
aliexpress or taobao might have D5 impellers
scarlet carbon
I've looked ๐ฆ
I don't have time to wait weeks for a freaking impeller though.
My rig is sitting at uncomfortable temps at times for me.
mortal grail
define uncomfortable
You still have one D5
lol
That's more than a lot of DDC users
scarlet carbon
45-60c Idle for me
mortal grail
45-60c Idle for me
That's what my AM5 cpu is sitting at rn
And I'm not on D5 so goes to show lol
scarlet carbon
yeah.... There's an issue with my cooling period right now.
THe phanteks isn't SATA though
scarlet carbon
I don't want to install a damn molex
mortal grail
it's sata
mortal grail
well yeah d5's are very old
especially the old genuine liangs
I think, apart from that corsair article, the cheapest seems to be the phanteks new
the corsair one would be good, you're covered by ebay protection, which basically always honors the buyer
even if the buyer destroys the item
If I lived in the US I'd be buying that myself rn
Corsair is expensive af but their watercooling stuff is quite competent
I don't simp for it
scarlet carbon
Problem is I don't trust corsair pumps and most of their LCS gear. that includes their AIO's
mortal grail
oh
I should correct myself
Their custom watercooling is competent
their aios are garbage
they've managed to make their aios twice as expensive and twice as bad at cooling in the last 4 years
scarlet carbon
their AIO's are complete trash and their pumps from what I've read have taken a major hit in Reliability ๐ฆ
scarlet carbon
this includes their D5's ๐ฆ
mortal grail
The air cooler costs $42
that new aio of theirs costs
$600 ๐
I wonder if I still have the graphs of this
scarlet carbon
I don't keep up with Corsair anyways as far as their cooling goes.
mortal grail
mortal grail
I don't keep up with Corsair anyways as far as their cooling goes.
I mean, $45 and you see how you go is how I see it
That's a really good price for a D5
I can't comment on their d5 reliability, but if it is a real D5, it should last a while
scarlet carbon
remember TPU has become very intel biased over the last 8 years.
I take most stuff from TPU with a grain of salt unless it's been contributed by a known independant. like Gamers Nexus.
scarlet carbon
Same with toms, they're getting better though. Tom's been intel shilling for at least 15 years though.
mortal grail
There aren't any other major outlets that have reviewed this though
Also intel shilling or not they're on the same cpu
scarlet carbon
I'll give you that LOL
mortal grail
So yeah I really don't shill for corsair
Only their psus are good these days
Their psus set a golden standard for years tho
scarlet carbon
Now that Ryzen has been around for a few years Tom and a few of the other intel heavy places are coming around.
mortal grail
But that D5 seems really cheap
mortal grail
Now that Ryzen has been around for a few years Tom and a few of the other intel ...
You'd probably like this
tl;dr Intel cpus are dying at stock settings due to mismanaged bios settings both used and endorsed by intel for over half a decade
The fix is to limit the crap out of them, so big dive in their performance
scarlet carbon
I don't really Shill for AMD, however I've been an AMD user for many years, mostly because of what intel did and has been doing to AMD.
mortal grail
I don't blame you tbh
I had both a terrible and great time with AM4
though AM5, after I figured out my AGESA drama, has been solid
AM5 is a really nice platform
scarlet carbon
I've had mostly amazing times with AM4 I had one bad memory controller on a 2700x that popped.
mortal grail
it's only shortcoming was the boards that came out initially were grossly expensive
that's a thing of the past tho
mortal grail
I've had mostly amazing times with AM4 I had one bad memory controller on a 2700...
My experience with Asus prime on AM4 was horrendously buggy, but my time on gigabyte AM4 was excellent
It's a mixed bag for everyone
Some people have had no problems
Most people I met have had at least one big issue on AM4 tho
tranquil pebble
Just got some coffee and it tastes so good
mortal grail
AM5 on the other hand, seems to be way better
tranquil pebble
AM4's only issue for me was a pain in the rear cooler mounting

tranquil pebble
You see we have epyc AM5 now?
yep

I want to see if they have upped cpu lane counts
That would be actually really useful
scarlet carbon
They're not always accurate with that stuff.
tranquil pebble
Also, I will definitely want to get another board with BMC/IPMI
That is actually super handy for many reasons
mortal grail
They're not always accurate with that stuff.
They have real pictures tho
It's definitely a developing thing
tranquil pebble
AMD makes some epyc CPUs
elfin mural

than?
scarlet carbon
I don't get why folks are trashing the 4060 cards though.... other than pricing in some markets.
elfin mural
because it's a 3060 that's more expensive
unique cliff
Its 386 dollars
elfin mural
not to mention the existence of radeon
mortal grail
I don't get why folks are trashing the 4060 cards though.... other than pricing ...
They price normalised their skus to match the 4090 so the 4090 itself would be more valuable, but as a result everything below the 4090 is now grossly expensive
the Super skus wouldn't exist were it not for them charging way more than their amd counterparts
mortal grail
Its 386 dollars
what's it cheaper than tho
scarlet carbon
and what brand?
mortal grail
$/fps 4060 Ti is amongst the worst value of new gen cards
That said, I'm saying this from a us market perspective
unique cliff
and what brand?
Gigabyte eagle

scarlet carbon
are we talking Radeon or AM5? LOL
unique cliff
Kinda worth it
Do i realy need a stand for it?
elfin mural
gigabyte cards have thinner pcb
unique cliff
Is airpods good as a stand?
Lol
mortal grail
If it's a few hundred grams, it's fine
elfin mural
heavier models need a stand
mortal grail
if you get it and it's like a kilogram, you want a stand
tl;dr the pcb flex from gpu sagging slowly kills gigabyte cards
They have issued a revision since this, however always worth it to be vigilant
scarlet carbon
GB has been a trouble company for many years because they use thinner PCB's than nearly everyone else.
mortal grail
it still has a wide divot, but it's been strengthened
But yeah, apart from that, I can see the eagle being worth it for 50 more
Tho in most markets that card is normally a pretty yuck buy
@unique cliff can you list out the other parts you have in mind
Probably worth helping where possible here
scarlet carbon
Definitely ๐
you've got at least 4 veteran builders here myself been doing this as far as upgrades/modding/overclocking since 1994.
mortal grail
Like a common misconception for people buying into AM5 is they need a mid tier board when there's a ton of low end options that are as overbuilt as their mid-range counterparts
This is the best side of AM5 though, you can get something extremely good for as little as $100
e.g
scarlet carbon
I first learned to overclock in 1996/97 I overclocked my 486 DX2 to DX4 100.

As a veteran builder I say 850W or better because your highest component is going to be at least 500W. and the 4000 series cards need an ATX V3 PSU which supplies 600W.

It has only Aluminium shell to protect the Chocolate on the inside.
And i really now wanna finish that.
So i wait for the iGPU to finish the computation.
scarlet carbon
what IGPU intel?
scarlet carbon
why?
hollow barn
Specifically MeshroomCL
hollow barn
why?
CPU and GPU are already in use
so i try to use something i don't really use usually.
which is the iGPU
mortal grail
for science
scarlet carbon
That makes no sense to even do it that way even if experimenting...

Nah, it is more of "for fun"

Anyways, i'm for real with the "i'm computing it with the iGPU:
If a real GPU was computing that, it would need less than 2 seconds per sweep
like 0.4 seconds if i remember right.
depending on dataset
And it is with my Specific GPU meant
Well, as i told: i might as well use the iGPU i paid for too while buying the CPU Itself
Like Why did i get the Intel Core i9 10900K instead of Intel Core i9 10900KF?

You could turn off the igpu if u donโt want it
scarlet carbon
it will improve overall performance too LOL
Turning off the AMD onboard GPU on my 7950X was one of the best things I could do for overall stability with everything. I'm using too many PCI-E lanes otherwise.
hollow barn
You could turn off the igpu if u donโt want it
Well, then i wouldn't use the iGPU that i paid for.
If i specifically wanted a iGPU-less CPU, i would run for the KF variant
scarlet carbon
That's just simply crazy logic.... AM5 comes with them stock as an option for those that can't get a new GPU that might have an older one which the AM5 GPU would be better than.
mighty hazel
I bought K cause it was cheaper than kf
elfin mural
having igp is good for diagnostics
if your dgpu happens to die or a pcie slot went out
you'd know

Exactly and that's another reason AMD included them on the AM5 lineup.

A. I didn't want it enabled to begin with. B. It would have worked fine, I just needed and wanted the added performance and stability without it enabled.
C. If I didn't have the 3070ti or any normal GPU I probably would have used the onboard GPU.

velvet summit
i like cpus with igpus because i can repurpose them as a server when i dont want to use it anymore and not need a dedicated gpu
scarlet carbon
for me the onboard GPU is a bonus for diagnostics. It was also a life saver when my system tried having a hemorrhage over the damn screens attached on top of just not liking the GPU installed at the same time initially as the onboard for some weird initialization crap.
While I might be a Veteran builder, I was an AM5 newbie in February as far as assembly goes.
It was like learning how to build a PC all over again.
velvet summit
ah yeah the igpu is also useful for diagnostics but that's like, once in the lifespan of the computer probably lmao

They said they have a budget of $150. So I canโt really build them anything

there's no confirmation they're ending
however there's a clear trend for them to favour nvidia of late
elfin mural
Correlation โ causation

They have definitely downsized for radeon with the current gen, that much is obvious
But there's no confirmation they've stopped making AMD cards
And who could've guessed it, when their only cards for this gen are pretty basic from AMD
