OP: This might sound stupid but if i'd be you I'd check if my radiator isn't full of dust. A bad airflow trough your rad could be a cause of the heat not dissipating. Also consider making sure your fans are running properly (we'd assume you did that already) and make sure thermal paste was applied properly last time you changed it (We'd also assume that you know how to apply thermal paste). So if the airflow on your radiator isn't a problem (fans running properly and no dust in it) and thermal paste was applied properly I'd also assume that your pump might start to suffer some issues. Another extremely rare case scenario would be that your ambient temps (Inside the chasis) would be extremely high for an unknown reason and therefore not dissipating the heat in the radiator properly. This is highly unlikely though.... Best regards!

That's what I actualy believe but considering the damage of a galvanic reaction I truly want to make sure ahah

Hi! I'm planning to use the two following pieces in my next watercooling loop. But the waterblock states that it's "true chrome plated". I was wondering if I'm risking any galvanic reaction (corrosion) by mixing a conventional copper based block and this gpu block? Does that plating change anything? Here are the two components. Thanks upfront! CPU block: http://www.swiftech.com/ApogeeXL2.aspx GPU block: http://www.swiftech.com/KOMODONV-LEGTX1080.aspx

Allright that'll make me save some money avoiding more high priced cards, thats actualy what I taught I wanted to make sure. If you have any insight about my 4 questions i'd be glad to hear it! Thanks!

Hello folks! I've been a huge fan of LTT since years but it's my actual first time over here asking for help, thanks upfront for helping me! So I'm planing to build a complete new system with the following pieces and I had a few questions about my liquid cooling loop! Please let me know in the comments if I should post scheme of my ideas or if it's clear enough that way! Ok so here's the big lines: Case: Be quiet Dark Base Pro 900 http://www.ncix.com/detail/be-quiet-dark-base-pro-61-133206.htm Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Formula http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-rog-maximus-viii-formula-d5-126247.htm CPU: I7 6700K (Do I need to link that? ahah) GPU: GTX 1080 (I'll need advices picking one for water cooling it!) Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4 http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-vengeance-led-16gb-2x8gb-88-135582.htm (wathever the color, i'll probably pick red) SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 1TB http://www.ncix.com/detail/samsung-850-pro-1tb-2-5-ce-99906.htm HDD: 4TB 7200RPM (Probably gona go with a WD since I already got a failure on a seagate) PSU: Enermax Platimax 1200W (I already have it in my current computer and I'll keep it) Optical Drive: None, who needs that nowaday! Now as the water cooling setup here are the component i'll use: Radiator1: http://www.xs-pc.com/radiators-ex-series/ex360-triple-fan-radiator Radiator2: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-se-240-slim-dual (I'll get the the "why" this one later) CPU block: XSPC Raystorm Pro http://www.xs-pc.com/waterblocks-cpu/raystorm-pro GPU block: XSPC Blade GTX 1080 http://www.xs-pc.com/waterblocks-gpu/blade-gtx-1080 Tank: XSPC Photon D5 Pump Combo: http://www.ncix.com/detail/xspc-d5-photon-170-glass-75-91744.htm Pump: See tank FANS: Corsair ML120, no discussion those are simply incredible Big Lines: I want a 360MM Rad for my CPU+PCB and the 240 rad for my GPU, let me know if I should invert that. The 240 MM will be Front mounted as an intake (I know it isn't optimal but I have no choice since I can't botom mount it). The 360MM Rad will be top mounted of course. I plan to place my tank+pump combo right after my 240MM rad (Drive trays will be removed except for one as high as I can place it so everything fits in). Ok so that round up most of my setup now I had a few interogations listed below, please help Question 1: Considering my 240MM rad will be shotting hot air in my case I taught about putting a 120MM fan at the bottom of my case, in the slot closest to the rad since the other one won't be usable due to PSU. That's where came my idea of a really slim 240MM rad at the front, would I be able to fit this fan in? Is it a good idea to try to compensate for the heat driven into the case? I'll use a 120MM rear exaust fan too) but my question is: WOULD IT FIT? Question 2: As mentioned before, should I run my 360 rad for my CPU or my GPU? Because build wise it'd give a much cleaner look if my 240 Rad would be used on my CPU but performance wise is this the best option? Question 3: The tank I picked is well rated, but considering my rad will drive hot air DIRECTLY on it. should I go for a Bayreservoir (5.25 bays) pump combo? Aestecticly speaking it'd be much less apealing.... Question 4: Any recomendation on how to pass my tubing? Note that there is a PCB water block built-in the motherboard I picked (It's copper, I verified ahah) Question 5: That one is an old one... BARB OR COMPRESSION FITTINGS???????? and why? Please do not hesitate to post ANY comment on my build or recomendation all help and opinions is welcome! Once again thank's upfront everyone, let me know what you think! (LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD DRAW A SCHEME OF MY IDEAS TO MAKE IT CLEARER)

Hi guyz! I'm planning to build myself a new fully water cooled (custom, of course) rig wich will sit in a Corsair 750D. I'll be using a 360mm radiator at the top with a pull configuration of Noctua's NF-P12 silent fans. My only concern is that I wish to use an XSPC dual 5.25" bay reservoir and I don't know if the radiator will be slim enough with the fans on it to clear the two 5.25" bays i'll need. Here are some dimensions for you guyz, lowest number is always the thickness of the product, derp! Rad: XSPC EX360 121 x 395 x 35.5mm Fans: Noctua NF-P12 120 x 120 x 25mm Thanks upfront. If someone own this case but do not have water cooling mounted it, i'd really apreciate if you could get a mesuring tape and check that out for me! All answers will be welcome! Oh btw, Hi guyz i'm new in here but i've been following Linus on youtube for over a year now!
