Things that might be dead: Main PC, Storage Ser…
0ld_Chicken replied to Oshino Shinobu's status update
oh that sucks... My local power utility offers "whole house surge protection" for a couple bucks a month and they pay you replacement value if anything still gets fried from a surge like that. Sorry for your possible losses, hopefully everything is ok and it's just a power issue. Though I've never really heard of power going partially out -
disturbing....

Which one? GtaV

Best small tube res or res/pump combo (have a d5)
0ld_Chicken replied to Damascus's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Yup If you buy straight from them I believe you can choose the regular or multiport top for free, which is a must have imo. Shipping is 30$ flatrate most places outside Germany -
"Bang for the Buck" Fittings
0ld_Chicken replied to OsuMasterz's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
I just picked up some Barrow fittings (though a slightly newer version) and they seem really solid at first glance. Haven't gotten water into them yet but I feel pretty good about them. I was able to get them on aliexpress for a decent amount cheaper than anywhere in the states and shipping wasn't too bad. -

Watercool's Heatkiller is my current favorite. I really wanted to put one in my current build but couldn't justify the money when I have multiple working res on hand. Looks amazing though -
watercoolingloop Need Help With Mixing Metals in a loop
0ld_Chicken replied to lahren1's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
I believe the photon is acetal body and aluminum brackets, nothing that should touch the water or cause concern. -
That's great! Delidded I assume? or undervolted i guess lol. I'll be popping the top off my 7700k as soon as the tool arrives (should be any day) and then I can finally resume building. It's taken longer than I expected and could've binned for a better chip in this amount of time. 5.0 is around 1.4v pre delid so not great by any means, about what my 4790k did.

Looks like probably just moisture working its way into the thin gap between nickel and plexi. Should become less noticeable as it saturates completely and looks more uniform

Bubble causing bad GPU temps?
0ld_Chicken replied to penti01's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Could you post pics of the loop? also what bridge or form of connection did you use between the cards? -

Thread locked since it is a repost

only way you really need to worry about exceeding the 1a limit is by hooking up too many fans. Check the amperage (a) listing for the particular fans you're using to see how many you can safely plug into a single header. The bios won't allow you to go above 12v. Example: .25a max draw fans= 4 or less fans on a single header

"New" GPU not detected by Mobo or Monitor.
0ld_Chicken replied to DarkBlade2117's topic in Graphics Cards
Have you tried multiple output ports of the GPU? Different display cable? Does your bios have a setting something like "primary graphics> igpu or something else" I feel like I've had this issue before but can't quite remember what it was -
Mayhems blitz kit part 2 laziness
0ld_Chicken replied to ShavedCloaca's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Yeah, unless it's just a tiny amount it should at least do some good. I started using that stuff not too long ago and I've been fairly impressed -
EK A240G - Where can I get more radiators?
0ld_Chicken replied to ShadyHost's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
I know that EK (or Fluid Gaming) is planning or releasing individual radiators and other parts for expansion. I would THINK that you could pick up any cheap aluminum rad but fittings would be an issue -
haha me too! Glad you enjoyed it too. I think me not having a dvd drive has come up twice in a couple years, I just look at people and tell them it's 2017 so get that shiny circle out of my face
-
Smooth! Just hope nobody asks you to put in a DVD... HAHA no body will
-
Nice! I don't remember the last time I had a back panel on my PC
-
That little 1 2 at the end of the first paragraph are enough to cover their butts imo. Sorry you're having troubles! Try to submit after you've waited the 30 days from buying the protection plan that done12many2 pointed out, hopefully you'll get lucky and they'll accept it.

will do

Word, might take me an hour since I have a few other things to do
