    @Damascus my VRMs are not on fire or anything, but I do have to admit that the VRMs suck dick. Couldn't handle 3.9 at 1.3125 and I had to feed it more juice at the vid just to get 1.33125v on the VDD and even then I was having Vdroop but it was somewhat stable. I need to find myself a better am4 micro atx board (fuck the tuf b350m though cause asus is overpriced mediocre ass).

    Don’t worry man no hostility here! ik about convection but i think the hot air would just be blocked by the gpu if I exhaust upwards on the bottom. On the front I could potentially see better temps if i flipped the fans so it would exit through the cut out in the back. Also, I might get money in a few weeks so I could buy another radiator (120mm). Edit. Also, turns out my VRMs are garbo so I only get 3.7ghz at 1.3v before having to go all the way to 1.375v just for 3.9ghz.

    What do you mean there is no where for the hot air to escape? The fans in the front push air through the radiator from front to back and the fans on the bottom pull air through that radiator and the air around it down out the case. There is also one exhaust fan in the back. The temps now don't go above 65 on the cpu and gpu on gta 5 for a couple hours

    If it’s not on fire and lasts for years then it’s cooler than a polar bear by my standards

    Update: i think i’ll just use the cpu at stock while playing to elongate it’s life and use the oc when doing other stuff.

    The front fans? So there is a perferation on the side panel in the back that i use for air flow. And the bottom dissapates a lot of heat too.

    Got my 1700 on a 50 dollar potato at the moment oc'd to 3.9 and the VRMs are cooler than a polar bear

    Good point lol

    8400 is meh bc low clocks. Ryzen at 4ghz gets the same 160 something as the 8400 in single core on cinebench and 4ghz ryzens aren't that uncommon.

    Temps were scary as shit (more like just shit) so I redid the loop after school. Added two blue apevia led molex fans to the front and moved the ml120's to the bottom in an exhaust orientation on the radiator. Temps are now idle around 30c (lowest EDIT: 24c at an ambient of 69F or 21c) and highest is 65c at an extended load on the cpu. Ram is now at 2666, but I can still not breach 1700cb like before on cinebench. Highest I've gotten is 1690cb. Played a game of h1z1 and csgo and did not go over 55c on the cpu. I mean the temps aren't bad but they aren't the best they could be. Also, some pics of the air bubbles finally out of the cpu block.

    Ight here's the build FOR NOW as I have plans for it later. Also, some dude is trying to rip me off on a cpu I sold him off of hwswap saying "iTs On iTs LaSt LeGs" like bitch you probably didn't get the oc you wanted because neither did i lol. On its last legs my ass dude probably tried to oc the fuck out of it and fucked up that 2600k and has the audacity to ask for 100 bucks for it when he can see on my comment history that I bought it for 85. I swear some people on hardwareswap are trifling little fucks.

    Leak tested for an hour or two, added y fittings for the drain, and (not pictured) added mayhems pastel white fluid and a 120mm fan from my cooler master t4 cause I am not adding another cable for molex lol. Turns out the h220x I bought off hwswap came with two non rgb ml120’s so they are in the front suffocating but they still provide some airflow. I’m thinking about adding in slim fans in the future on the outside of the bottom, but my temps are actually doing fine (used to be lower in my other build). Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9ghz only hitting around 50c and my 780 is lower but I haven’t oc’d yet. Compared to my x370 board this b350 board needs lil more voltage for this oc and I haven’t oc’d my ram to its full potential so I’m only hitting like 1690cb in Cinebench. Air bubbles are still prevalent in the cpu block and the mobo and h220x add subtle lighting. Easy loop to put together, but with all it took to put it together I kinda don’t want to take it apart.

    I already had the piece from another build and it work out for my drain valve placement.
  14. This kid builds pc
    I made the pin super straight and put into the connector and put it into the header. Worst case scenario it doesn’t work and I won’t be able to unplug it anyway since my loop is already together lol

    By leave it as is do you mean plug in the usb plug? Just broke mine and I don’t care about charing my device on my pc just using the usb for data transfering stuff.
  16. This kid builds pc
    Did you not add in the value of the 6700k since you already had it?
  17. This kid builds pc
    ahhhh you fucked up

    It'll look cool and you'll have good flow/performance, but it isn't a dual loop. It's two pumps ran in parallel with some cool tubing.
  20. This kid builds pc
    You got a PC just for good grades? Jesus if I ask my mom she would've just been like "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET STRAIGHT As PERIOD" lol

    I actually have a story for this. So one time I lost a screw in my already fully built system so I ended up shaking my case upside down and even through all that rigor there were no leaks at all and I got the screw out.

    EVGA boards always look the nicest man. You sure that's sub 500 tho?

    So I was thinking about it and then I remembered that Swiftech built in a bleed screw on the res so I thought,"Maybe I could just fill the system through the drain valve and unscrew the bleed screw in order to fill it up." I'll most likely mount the h220x high with the bottom rad using either a g1/4 fitting or some petg to connect to it on the bottom port. Since I don't have and can't find an H220x outlet adapter for the pump I will have to keep that with flexible tubing, but since the fittings that come with are reusable I'll use it. Plus I got a good deal on some tubing so it ain't no problem. If I ever do get a res (I kinda like my idea of what I thought was just going to be a temporary loop and filling it up with the valve) I'll probably mount it by the front rad in order to use a small run of flexible tubing so the tubing blends in with the build better.

    I mean RGB is cool and all but it's just not worth it to me. I've never even added in an led strip before. Farthest I've gone with bling is water cooling and like an led fan.

    Update: Just got a deal on 10 feet of Primochill Advanced LRT tubing for 15 bucks. Will use this while I save for another radiator and res for full hard tubing goodness.
