The end result, question about leaving the loop on for 24 hrs, i guess i leave the pin in the 24pin and the psu on for that time right? and is it a must that i need to leave it on for 24 hrs or can i cheat on the time and stop at 18 - 20 hrs, i understand the necessity in testing it for that long, i just wanted to ask is all

Can someone help me out with a loop question, is there a specific loop set up i need to set my loop in or can i set it up like this, the out and in thing is what it says on the reservoir with out being on the left and in being on the right, is this important with how i need to be setting my loop up

Waterblock installed

Parts came in, 10/13 tubing looked thinner than i thought it would, block and reservoir / pump combo are bigger than i realized and the radiator was thicker than i realized too

Im pretty sure I should be fine with doing this but can someone confirm that itll be fine if i use my thermal paste from the nh-d14 on my gpu when applying the block?

I would like to make a purchase within the next two days, could anyone lmk if these things are everything I need to set up a wc set https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc780-gtx-classy-acetal-nickel https://shop.ekwb.com/tube-primochill-primoflextm-advanced-lrttm-12-7-9-5mm-crystal-clear-retail-3m https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-xe-240-double https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xres-140-revo-d5-pwm-incl-pump https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-ekoolant-evo-clear-premix-1l https://shop.ekwb.com/fittings/compression-fittings/for-10-13mm-3-8-1-2-tubing - How many fittings do I need to get in a gpu only set up? 4? or is it only 2 I need? Also for this thing below, Are these the things I need to be looking at to do this Get a no spill quick disconnect. These cost around £10-20 for the complete set and click into each other. You can cleanly separate the loop. You can split a tube in half with almost no water spillage. These add some restriction to the loop but now-a-days have been improved a lot so this restriction is minimized. What part do I need to get from ekwb to be able to do this? https://shop.ekwb.com/fittings/extra/splitters https://shop.ekwb.com/fittings/extra/ball-valves

You need to disable xchi in the bios then youll be able to use a usb keyboard and mouse when installing windows

Would anyone not mind holding my hand through this process and answering a lot of questions please? :mellow: So... I would like to water cool my gpu... and only the gpu... I believe that this wont really be worth it considering how much this will cost to do just that and the benefits aren't that great for the costs, but I am still interested in water cooling my gpu The two parts so far I know I would get, and I would get the rest of the parts I need from ekwb Block - https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc780-gtx-classy-acetal-nickel Radiator - https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-xe-240-double Beyond knowing what block and maybe radiator I need to get, I dont know if I should get a pump and reservoir that are assembled together or to just get each part individually I also dont know what size soft tubing and fittings and how much of each to get And I also dont know anything about maintaining this loop if I manage to get everything going, I want to believe that since its only 1 loop for the gpu the typical time that one would wait to replace the water in the loop could be longer or is that a very wrong assumption. Also is it an easier time to set up a gpu loop in comparison to a cpu loop and doing the leak tests and other stuff I would have to do for this loop to be successful? And if a gpu loop were too leak, I want to assume depending on where the other parts are, could the whole system not be at risk of being destroyed by the leak? I apologize since these questions are answered in the water cooling faq topics, I did look at them... but I dont know.... I just still have questions to ask. Sorry. I would really like to try and do this, but if it really is pointless... should I just fuck off.

really didn't want people to end up in an argument with each other :mellow:

alrighty then

Alright thanks

Sooo uhhh can anyone tell me what is the typical core overclock a 980 TI should be able to achieve, no brand or anything just the 980 ti itself and non reference type I guess if that matters a lot I understand it's all about the luck or whatever it is but lets disregard the unlucky and lucky people who get those kind of cards Should a 980 ti be able to get into a 1400 - 1500 core range normally or is that lucky

This is new and interesting to me, is this something msi mobos do or is this the same for other skylake mobos and with the cpu downclocking itself, is this something intel cpus do or do amd cpus do this too because i dont think my 8350 ever did something like this and is it possible for me to stop the cpu from doing this?

so usage ranges from 60 to 75 can spike up to 90%, i have steam running and games downloading other than that i have chrome running and msi after burner, temps are at 40c if that needs to be known other than that i dont know what else i need to let anyone know, i need help please and my msi mobo shows constant post codes of 39/40/41 is that a problem...?

Bump need opinions please
