r34lj4k3 got a reaction from TrigrH in I'm (stripped) Screwed
Get out.
Another possibility is to drill out the whole screw, might not be able to re-use without re-tapping the hole (possibly with a bigger size) but you'd save $100.

Stay in school, haha.

r34lj4k3 got a reaction from W-L in EK Cryofuel Bubbles For Days
Great news! Setting to the pump to a lower speed has reduced the bubbles immensely and completely mitigated the micro-bubbles.
It was weird that I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the monitor tab, enable the pwm wpump management and then set my profile there. I would think that you could set all of that from the QFan F6 menu.
Either way, great success! I still may change out the fluid...kinda torn on trying another one now.

r34lj4k3 got a reaction from O9B0666 in Intel 4790k vs 8700K
You will not see a difference between those two processors. Only the gpu would make any sense to upgrade. I'll probably sell my 1080tis and get a pair of 1180s when they come out as I'm not really happy with my performance either, but especially in games that don't use sli.

Nope, worse than the 8700k even for gaming. That other guy telling you not to get an nvme drive is also dead wrong about the speeds. Lastly, gaming seems to really like the high clock speeds on a cpu and yours is up there. I'd wait another gen to upgrade. Have a little patience! It will be worth it. If you have money to burn now, maybe look at getting into liquid cooling or something? Everything but the cpu block will carry over (and sometimes even that will) and it will give you a good project to work on and some meaningful performance gains with your current hardware.
just a suggestion.

r34lj4k3 got a reaction from CyberFern0 in EK Monoblock
That wasn't a consideration he listed and he was specifically interested in monoblocks. Either way, we're getting off topic.
