    That's a little better than my best.. have two battle stations the gigabyte z270x and the evga ftw k..should be getting the Gigabyte back around next Tuesday and well the ftw k might be a little longer.
     
    Should save the ftw k immaculate board it is. and just run the Gigabyte. And hopefully cpu isn't dead and appears the delid/relid went well. Will find out soon enough. 
     
    Here soon should have a slightly better Pump coming in too, slightly higher flow rate. using a Z97 copper block right now and aluminum rad and about 5% Glycol.  Been working well.

    Except the killer didn't look that bad or cheap and saying 12 phase that's good for that.  Id buy that, could clock the 1600x on it...see how that runs...I have no idea according to and going by benches it looks like some capable cpu's Ryzen. 
     
    Go with Asus then they have quite the following right now, a lot liked those strix series..

    It's retro to me Lol...compared to the 7700k at 5-5.2ghz and 1100ish passes in CB...Bigggg difference not to mention DDR4 and not sata2. 
    But yeah know what you mean still a good and cool chip. Clocked comes Alive muchhh Better. But only a handful of boards that can do so.
     
    It don't go over 45c on that water setup..maybe the damn thing will run for another 10 years who knows...actually fine goofing off messing around maybe a few indie titles easy stuff to run. still enough Performance there. a little tougher titles yeah some frame drop but nothing major...idk I'm sure could find something a little more modern that would dog it at that clock.

    I thought it was of the Notion just use what you can get desk wise. My desk is old and the kinda cooler ones with larger drawers etc, Put a bunch of junk in etc...someone tried painting it but it peeled looked like, it needs stained and repainted or something. 
     
    And I agree the 8700k is the battle station to have now, should get it with one of the EVGA boards or the Maximus etc. and hopefully will have no problems with it...I still think you'll want to delid it though after playing with it for awhile and seeing how hot it runs.

    That's the well Kept Secret Low Concentration of Glycol is good the inhibitors in it are strong and anti-corrosion fighting. It is gummy and thick though and a high concentration is bad and would rob cooling performance, still doubt it would clog anything though. I've ran a mixed metal loop for years and it didn't get that bad at all nothing got ate or rotted out. And Copper Blocks can be Cleaned with Alcohol and or Vinegar.

    Yesss Sir, that would be running as we speak. I got a shitty Board for it though...other than that the x5650 seems still strong. I used ESO a lot for Game Testing/Benching and a baseline, despite it's kind of a shitty game somewhat. It ran that pretty well some minor frame drops, if I could overclock that would be a non-issue. 
     
    Need to see if it will run Battlefield.  Worth the bootsale bargain 50$ though definitely. and 100$ board...
