1080 Ti with EK water cooling
bographics replied to bographics's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Thanks for your appreciation I have also Vardar F3-120 on my 360mm rad, but usually I'm not keeping them at full speed. I don't know If I am able to push the power limit of my card over 117%, but should be enough for now. On air cooling this was not possible! It is possible to see more temperatures for GPU, like VRM temps, or other? -
Hi, I've just inserted my MSI Armor 1080 Ti into the loop. The loop is made of: - 360x120x60mm radiator + 3x120mm fans (pull) - EK D5 pump - EK water blocks for CPU and GPU (full cover) I've tested the temps for more than 1 hour and the results for GPU are (25oC room temperature): - max 62oC for GPU under full load, but with vents and pump at low-medium speeds and some OC (117% max power limit, +100Mhz GPU, +200Mhz memory) - 55-60oC for GPU playing GTA 5 at 4k, ultra settings (99% GPU usage) - 40oC for GPU at idle after stopping a game (I suppose this should be close tot the water temperature) What do you think?

What is the problem with my case lighting?
bographics replied to bographics's topic in Cases and Mods
I've added eventually some RGB led lighting. Now looks overkill, but hey... the Christmas is coming!

I have replaced the pump with D5 model. After a few leaks from a wrong placed fitting on the radiator now everything works ok. I have reused the same coolant (blue uv EK-Ekoolant), but I also added some distilled water and a little bit of EK-Ekoolant Clear Concentrate. I hope that is ok and I will not spend another 3-4 hours changing the liquid until I will probably add the GPU into the loop
-
Yes, I think I will buy EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 PWM in order to have 2 pumps, if this one (DDC) will work fine in the future. Also today the pump has started by shaking it a few more times as "usual" and I heard some clicks before it started! I think it might be some dirt inside it, but for the long run I also think that 2 pumps in series will work better
-
I think I will buy another pump and RMA this one if it will continue to stop working. Then probably I will have 2 pumps in series for safety purposes! I am planning to include the GPU (GTX 1080 Ti) into the loop, so 2 pumps may be useful, no?
-
I think I should do this, but is kind of hard to disassemble the system and get the pump out. Anyway, how often a pump like this can fail? I have invested in this model precisely to not have this kind of problems
-
But what could be the reason? After all is just a motor with some blades, no? It is also considered " high reliability, high-pressure industrial pump, featuring a 50,000 hour MTBF"!

Hi. I have an EKWB custom loop with this water pump. The pump was mounted as specified by manufacturer, horizontally, using an uv blue liquid from EKWB. The pump was running all the time at it's lower speed, as the CPU is very cold (30-45 degrees C in load), so it was not abused in any way. Everything was running fine for about 6 months, but two days ago I've noticed the pump was not working at all after system startup. After a few restarts and connect/disconnect from PSU the pump has started, but today It had the same problem. I've tried 4-5 restarts and again to disconnect and reconnect the pump, but it was not working. So I thought to shake a little the system and kick the pump (with the system turned off). After power on the pump was started normally! What do you think, the pump is dying or it was just some air or debris stuck inside it? Thanks!

I have updated my Windows too, and my first notice is that now I have around 10 new small partitions! WTF?

Hi. I have a powerful enough computer (I7 6800K, 64GB DDR4, GTX 1080 Ti, Samsung 960 Pro SSD), but when I am working on larger projects in Illustrator or InDesign the saving process takes a lot of time, while the system is not even close to overload. The RAM is almost empty, the CPU is relaxed and the drives are very little busy. I want to see full load on the SSD and CPU but to save my projects as fast as possible... this is why I have invested in 64GB DDR 3000 MHz and M.2 SSD. Any opinions? Thanks.

Now my system is almost completed: GTX 1080Ti I just need to add it to the loop, but EK does not have a back-plate for this beauty

I have just installed EKWB 360 Extreme Kit on my sistem, and it keeps mu i7-6800K very cool! Here is the topic for my setup
