  1. I am currently using the Mayhems X1 Series (UV Green) in my system... after ever drain and a series of flushes I check for staining or other type of left-behinds (clear water blocks) but it comes clean every time. I have tried Mayhems Aurora Coolants (Silver, Blue, Red), the effect settles down after a while and can only be seen adequately in larger reservoirs. It took me almost 7 gallons of stilled water to flush my system complete clean of the stuff. It is better to stick with simple fluids and dyes. Primochill Vue is supposed to be an awesome effect coolant which will not clog they say, but it is still being testet and we are all waiting for it PRIMOCHILL!.
  2. Most Pastel/Opaque colors leave residue behind wich narrows the flow path over time, most translucent coolants come clean on a thorough flush with distilled water because they do not have the pigment density as the Pastel/Opaque coolants do.
  3. Heys Guys, OVERCLOCKING the i7-6800k to 4.200 GHz... ran handbrake for about 2 hour.... seems stable! Hardware. ASUS Rampage V Edition 10, i7-6800k, 64 Gb-Ram DDR4-3000.CPU Core Voltage set to 1.275 Volts and CPU Cache Voltage to 1.275 Volts The temperatures rises with custom water cooling loop to about 74 degrees celcius which does not seem right for me... it should be max about 65 degrees celcius. I think I need THREADRIPPER.... LOL Joe
  4. I have tried to install a Hackintosh with i7-6700k, asus sabertooth z170s mainboard and a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming, Everything installed flawlessly the OS and WebDrivers but I could not get the G1 Gaming to work(tried so many settings with clover), wenn I switch the GPU to a Gigabyte GTX 970 WinForce edition, the resolution and acceleration worked perfectly... does anybody know anything about this... THX
  5. thanks to all for the help ! so you are saying never use anytype of low noise cable/adapter before a splitter, allways after a splitter and one low noise cable/adapter to each fan on the splitter ??? thx Joe
  6. to me rpm's matter, the mobo software shows the same wierd rpm readings as the bios... could something like this burn out or damage the fan header on the mainboard.... this is what I am trying to find out?
  7. Project NAUTILUS... phase 1 hardware installation and testing: DONE phase 2 power control and cable management for all devices under the desk: DONE phase 3 OS installation (Win10, macOS, Linux): IN PROGRESS phase 4 Visual improvements: PLANED what do you get when watching LTT late at night with to much wine and a loose credit card... 1x awesome computer setup and 1x pissed off to the max wife for using her dilnner table !!! ... but at least its working... and boy does it work... :-) thanks people. mac-joe
  8. I prefer water cooling over air cooling any day... BUT !!!.... always be aware ot the fact that with air cooling it is like taking the car to get there, if something goes wrong with the machine you can always pull over... with water cooling it is like taking the airplane to get there, if something goes wrong with the tech here... 99.8% of the time you can kiss your hardware goodby !!! but like I said... I would water cool over air any day! thx Joe
  9. Hi Peoples, (3 Pin Fans) does anybody know which way is best to connect the low noise cables (LNC) that come with when using multiple fans with splitterl... when I connect 3 fans with splitter to the mainboard the rpm's look right and if I insert 1 LNC cable between MB and splitter the rpm's look all weird running from 0 to tens of thousands of rpm's !!!!.... I have not tried using 3 LNC cables one for each fan do to limited space in the cable shrouts... does anybody know if this matters ??? thanks for the help Joe
