I got so tired of dropping $30 on not enough coolant to even fill the damn loop

Just use vodka

seems like that might do some damage to the metal stuff in the loop

6-8 months of EK opaque coolant gave me this lovely outcome

man you guys are making me glad I never made a custom loop
I wanted to for the longest time lol

these are more like horror stories than likely results

6-8 months of EK opaque coolant gave me this lovely outcome

so I'm assuming AIOs don't fail like that inside right?
at least from reputable brands?
idle nexus
I noticed on HWiNFO that I was hitting tj on 5900x one day
took loop apart & found that
light egret
I had one go kaput not to long ago but it was some off brand and it ran for like 4 years no problem
idle nexus
the gunk up a little I'd imagine
but they really don't have a reason to put any color additive crap
which in the last few years has been the source of any clogging issues for me for the most part
sometimes I get buildup of other crap tho. my guess is it's like tiny metal fragments from inside radiators & what not
that usually rinses out quick & takes a lot longer to affect thermals in my experience
light egret
yeah I figured that. The NZXT one I'm using now with the display doesn't have any clear seethrough but the old one did have one little bit of see through tube on the water block and I think it was tinted light blue. Not sure if that was the water or the pipe though lol
idle nexus
I've been meaning to get a good inline filter
proud jackal
I thought about buying a filter for loop but that would just slow my flow more D:
sweet phoenix
very
river elk
Also EK sucks
sweet phoenix
debatable
idle nexus
on thermaltake live Mike put 4 pumps in series at full speed & adding pumps didn't really affect thermals. to be fair, I don't know how much increasing the input speed of the liquid coming into the last pump ultimately increases the speed but the point is, flow rate doesn't really help that much after a certain point
I hate EK
I've given them so many opportunities to not suck
river elk
Never mind he’s at oblock I ain’t going there
river elk
I hate EK
My cpu block from EK has cracks on it
Not sure how it looks like stress fractures
idle nexus
but after two internally leaking waterblocks, opaque coolant clogs, a dead in less than 12 months D5 pump, & the utter failure of the stupid $300+ direct die waterblock, I have zero good things to say about them
okay wait no, I'll be fair
my dual D5 EK pump has been a monster since 2021
tranquil pebble
I want a compact 7900 XTX but I doubt its doable
river elk
Why are EK custom loop kits $700 USD now though
idle nexus
were they more before? cuz it's still a rip off
custom loops aren't cheap but they can be made waaaay cheaper by shopping around
river elk
were they more before? cuz it's still a rip off
Mine was $200
For a block, pump, tubing, 360 rad, and 3 fans
And coolant

in my experience, custom loop has always outperformed AIOs
proud jackal
idle nexus
plus, how are you gonna put an AIO on your RAM? lol
rancid juniper
dual theo radiators
river elk
You custom cool RAM?
idle nexus
lol yes
rancid juniper
yes
tranquil pebble
in my experience, custom loop has always outperformed AIOs
probably better pump and lines than aios use so better coolant flow
idle nexus
hardware labs rads? nice rads
river elk
I dunno if custom loops are even worth the trouble and money any more though
idle nexus
Mike from TT told me to make a solution of a tiny bit of dish detergent, fill the rads with it, shake them a lot with holes covered, drain, fill with tap water, shake some more, drain, repeat tap water only/shake like 2-3 more times then fill with distilled water, shake, & drain to clear out any crap the tap water might leave
eventually I wanna use car radiator fluid that's like neon green

gamers nexus
there was a set of corsair cases that came out recently that weren't it
gentle canyon
i like the design ngl but its just too much
light egret
the only case I wouldn't wanna build out of is like one of those super tiny ones for a gaming rig that like have to fit together so tight it's sketch
but i've yet to encounter a case where airflow was a real big problem including that nzxt case that everyone hated a while back. My cousin got it and the airflow was fine. It wasn't the best, but it was perfectly acceptable imo
my main recomendation is make sure it has filters on the intake side and don't put it on the floor unless you like cleaning your pc on a semi monthly basis.
if you're gonna OC or use like top end stuff that will change too tho
mortal grail
H510 and it's predecessor the S340 were terrible
Like totally terrible
Yes, a pc will function inside them
The problem is they will run so warm that you lose, in some cases double digits in performance
I take real issue with cases like NZXT elite because it's the same as stripping your pc of a whole stage of upgrades
There were tons of corsair cases that had this problem too
Lots of ibuypower
Dell, still has problems
light egret
see my cousin got one of the h510 back in the day and everyone was saying that so we ran it at load with the side panel on and off and didn't see much of a diff in performance.
mortal grail
But see that depends on what was inside
Anything over 400W total nominal draw simply can't work as the negative flow from the back is saturated
light egret
it was a 2600x, 16gb 3000 ram? iirc?, and i think an amd 590 somethin or other.
light egret
may be true but that everything besides the 590 was the top of the line when it came out and I believe the 590 was like one generation behind? idr about the gpu tho
proud jackal
where has @wary fjord been 
light egret
not top of the line but 2600x had just come out
and everyone was saying at the time that the airflow would be a problem lol
mortal grail
It's just not enough power to demonstrate the issue
At the back of the case there's enough opening in the metal to allow a negative pressure feed to provide somewhat sufficient air to the system
Which feeds only up to about 400W
Beyond that, the case literally cooks itself
I specifically remember many cases of people on H510's swapping to other cases with cards like, 2080 Ti's, 3080's, 3070's, 6800XT's
They'd drop like 10 degrees or more
And then suddenly they gain like 5-10% gpu score
the I7's and I9's were not sustainable in those cases at the time it came out either
You talk 9900K, absolutely cooks in that case
light egret
yeah no high end is for sure bad
mortal grail
Which is the main problem, it's just bad in a scaling sense
Once you breach that saturation point, it cooks
light egret
but if you're making a budget build, I would still say it's fine lol. Most people aren't buying 3090s and 9900ks
mortal grail
Even then it's really hard to argue
That case needs to be like, $10 or free lol
There are $30 cases which beat the H510
Go look at a Gamemax M60 sometime lol
light egret
I mean don't get me wrong, I will tell people it has bad airflow, but if they want it for the asthetic (i personally don't care for the look) and wanna spend that much for a meh case and they aren't going above like a 3070 at most, i'd tell em it'd probably work just fine.
mortal grail
3070 cooks in that lol
If we were talking really low end
Sub 400W
Like even then
You can find really old cases that have better airflow
light egret
would you say a 2070 super would cook in that?
mortal grail
It could if you unlocked it
Depends on a number of factors
If it was one of those meme 2070's I'd wager it
rancid juniper
my pc case 💀
mortal grail
Still better as it has a much wider intake
light egret
I had it OCd a little but idr the specifics. I don't have it anymore lol. But I had a case that was poor airflow but idk the brand cause I got it for free second hand before I got my current one, I got my current for better flow and it didn't make a difference at all lol.
I know my last one was like, a solid front with a small slit on the top and bottom of the front
mortal grail
Yes but was it h510
light egret
no lol
mortal grail
Then it doesn't count
light egret
but the intake on front was smaller than h510's intake
but it did have 2 fan slots on top and 1 on back
mortal grail
I had my first desktop with a 3080 in it with a glass front and it didn't cook
light egret
wait actually I did use the top as intake lol
mortal grail
It's not just about how big the intake is
rancid juniper
mmm cooked gpus
mortal grail
The H510 is just by pressure design horrible as well
You get two flow paths
One from the front that does almost nothing
And one that cycles around the back that is very weak
You could almost cut a h510 in half and glue the front back on, and it'd be effectively the same thing without a HDD cage
light egret
wanna talk about cooked gpus, I was messing with my hard drives and hot plugging them while pc was on, and at one point the sata plug fell onto my GPU and I just left it. Well the clasp was metal and bridged to pins. Gpu literally caught on fire. Still works to this day

Gonna have to call for a tow through AAA.

In one year, I called for assistance because the lug nuts on my car had swollen because Ford used cheaper lug nuts that had a tendency to swell. A tow truck comes, tries prying them off using various tools himself and fails, so he has to go and I have to call AAA for a tow because it would be a new thing in their automated system, so I have to wait 30 minutes for that same guy to come back. I later had to get a new battery during the winter, they give me a new battery and it later dies. Them sending out a third guy who just said not my problem after the battery died used my last allotted call and when I have to get my car towed again later when the battery dies, they try to A) charge me for the tow to the local Ford B) try and get me to pay for a contracted person to come out and check my battery despite already having the results for a dead cell C) told me to basically go screw myself when I said that is unfair as they caused my usage of their services

god forbid you actually get to use tow assistance when you really need it

They also tried to refuse paying to replace the in warranty battery until we badgered them enough to just get told to fill out a form for reimbursement. They only reimbursed the battery so I was stuck with labor

Fr 7000 is big even compared to 5000
The thing is, x3d chips are basically like a generational uplift in gaming performance. Like a 5800x3d is like a 7000 chip, and I am assuming the 7800x3d will be similar to r 9000
But they used the 12 core which is basically a 6 core in gaming if that parking stuff is still the same today
It would be fair if they compared it to the 8 or 16 core version

Hoping the older 2000 series or 3000 series CPUs will drop 30-40 bucks if a new suite of 9000 drops

anyone know what channel i go to for help with picking out laptop i need to get ...
I'd go for a gaming laptop
preferably with ryzen mobile
since they're more efficient
also depends on what type of editing

I'd say something with nvidia
then again there's not much of a choice on mobile

yea i would want more ram and storage i guess

my laptop is like
$1500 with all the upgrades

you could do a lot with a sub-2K budget
I'd look around the 4060-4070 range

I'm a bit behind on the latest tech so I could only make general recommendations
no specifics I'm afraid

do you have a budget?
I work at 7/11 right now, most i get back at the moment is $50 a week, but soonish, maybe start of September, i should be getting $200 back every other week

worthy meteor
Iirc b450 ds3h is pretty bad

yeah if it was a tomahawk there would be a lot more upgrade paths
can you go up to a 5800x3d on a tomahawk?

yeah at this point it's more cost effective to just upgrade the entire thing

you don't want to be stuck with an old motherboard when the new stuff comes out at the same price

I was gonna say, when i built my pc, i had a 1060 gpu, so its the only thing ive upgraded since 2020 lol
But i budget built mine, bought it part by part till i got it all n built it
Nvidia ^
hoary zodiac
Generally it's better to buy it all at once
the motherboard for example
say you buy a X670 board for $200
and then the next month you have the money to buy the cpu
but surprise
new ryzen comes out as well as the motherboard
the new cpu is the same price as the old one but now you can't buy it because X670
(unless your motherboard has flashback or you get someone else to flash bios but you'll still end up with an older motherboard which would limit future upgradability)
static otter
Right
Ok np!
Well if i could get a list of recommended parts for each so i can start saving and look when im ready to buy
worthy meteor
Our problem is that list will change, a good recommendation today might be a terrible one tomorrow
static otter
Oh
hoary zodiac
yeah market research is the hardest part of pc building

When u said terrible recommendation here i thought you meant bad bottlenecking or something
Or doesnt sync up properly with other parts, etc

worthy meteor
Another thing is problems, we could recommend something today and suddenly tomorrow we might learn that there's something wrong with it
static otter
Idk if ill upgrade my gpu anytime soon, its equivalent last i knew was a 3060 rx
worthy meteor
A kinda relevant example is deepcool, we might have recommended some deepcool stuff half a month ago, and suddenly, US sanctions means you might not get any warranty for it today
Things come out of nowhere

If the list is optimized you could probably get away with a 4070 on a 1K budget
if you reusing parts
maybe not even
