    1. Any idea how restrictive are the waterblocks? Back in the days I used to have an ApogeeGT block which had highest flow restriction from a whole bunch of blocks tested in comparison I read at that time. 2. Did you flush the rads before completing the loop? The gunk building up between the fins in the CPU block can clog it in no time... What I would do first is to open the CPU block and see what's inside. Remember that ketchup and soft toothbrush are your friends...

    What about using a central heating circulation pump? They come at cheap, are reliable af and have massive head pressure. I use one in my loop for over a year. It consumes 22W and run on regular (for me) 230V. And my loop consists of 35m of 16mm floor heating tubing (so 12mm ID), a reservoir (10L plastic water drum), a household string filter (like for household use) and obviously waterblocks (Alphacools for CPU and GPU). Go see my thread about floor cooling for more details (thread needs an update).

    Not saying that Jake and Linus have read this topic before going ahead with cooling system based on the floor heating pipes embedded in the pool's bottom concrete... but they did LOL Or someone please point them here and see what they think

    A follow up story... Upgraded the system to 3700X and a 5700XT, got both watercooled. All packed in CM Silencio S400 case for size and esthetics. When running FurMark with again both CPU and GPU burners running at the same time, the CPU peak temperature flattens around 64C and the GPU does not exceed 43C. This is still with the x2 aquarium pumps running this configuration. Will have to check how good is the CPU block contact with the CPU cause i expected lower temps...

    If anyone interested... Got one from Alphacool and it works like a charm. Wasnt even that expensive for a niche block. Happy customer is happy

    I was looking at Alhacool's website but it is very confusing and skipped it Cheers!

    Sapphire rx5700xt Pulse as written in the first post. I know Bykski makes a FC block for it, but in general i don't trust that company.

    That's the thing: i don't want to limit my budget. I want a well made product from a solid brand. Not a random 10€ block from Ali... if this is the only way to watercool this card, i will do it. But for this time being i want to investigate my options.
  10. g g d h
    That's very bold statement... But i wanted something from a recognizable manufacturer...

    I made a mistake: i bought a card (Sapphire RX5700XT PULSE) for which i can't buy easily available full-cover waterblock. I didn't even check if it was a reference PCB or not. It is not... I assumed i should be able to cool it with an EK Supreme HF universal GPU waterblock, but after sorting the dimensions of the mounting holes (for a start) it seems it will not be able to accommodate it even after milling the block a little (i have the ways to do so). From the image of the PCB i have figured out the spacing of the mounting holes to be ca. 47mm. The block in question has variable screw spacing (53-57/58mm). That's way too much. Do you guys know any waterblock that will fit there? I know Koolance had a fairly small waterblock, but still slightly too large. Or should i just start searching for custom made waterblock made for electronics and stuff? Huge issue will be its performance since these blocks are not designed for such powerful heat sources...

    In my case the water block (the part where barbs are installed) measures 130mm and this is the most extended pay of the GPU. 6+8pin should not be an issue. Luckily angular 6/8pin connectors exist.

    Digging the thread back to the surface... Can someone confirm that the cooler height in Riotoro CR1088 is 122mm as they say on their website or is it 135mm as they have it in the full manual?

    I will write up the whole story as i have actually completed the project - now still at the ghetto stage with tubes hanging here and there, but the principle was checked. IT WORKS. And regarding the flow rate and restrictions and couple-hundred € watercooling pumps - it all works with 90L/h flow using 32€ aquarium pump (Eheim Compact 1000 - old version). And just as a teaser please check the thermals after 14 minutes of Furmark GPU and Furmark's CPU burner running simultaneously...

    No. The amount needed for one loop was literally a pinch.

    Slowly but steadily... Got some fittings in plumbing store along with quick disconnects used typically for compressed air systems. Tested already and they work just fine even at much lower pressure typically found in WC systems... Found at my parents place an old MountainMods MoBo tray, never used, and I am tempted to use it... Now waiting for winter for some more time to spare at my hobbies :)

    I havent looked into my loop since 2015 when swapped GPU and there is zero growth visible in a res. DI water + a pinch of CuSO4*5H2O

    Off-topic: Am I the only old-timer here who misses the days when GentleTyphoon fans were reasons people were drooling over the keyboards?

    Let me catch a breath first ? The house i am about to finish (moving in late Aug / early Sep) is for my family and my family only (us 2 + 2 small kids). We have 13 LAN wall sockets, incl. TV corner / media center + home security system and surveillance. That's 15 ports on a switch that i need straight away. My local ISP (only one that has fiber grid close to a house - across the street) offers 120Mb/s for 9.5€/month (with 24 months contract) when not bundled with TV box and most likely i will go for it. I don't really see any use for 10Gb/s ports at this moment and near future. I am not an impatient teenager any more who gets angry at 0.5s loading time of youtube website ? Again many thanks for your replies. Pretty sure i will go with a simple and low-maintenance option -> unmanaged switch.

    Good to know! Many thanks for your advices! I will not make it more complicated than it needs to be.
  21. g g d h
    I didn't mention that I will have a TV box running off that switch (I am getting fiber in a new house, so LAN+TV). Will unmanaged switch handle it as well? Or it works only as a pass-through?
  22. g g d h
    Can you link an example of a switch you are talking about?
  23. g g d h
    Many thanks for these two options. Just to make it clear: the cabinet i have already hung on the wall is; >> Rack cabinet << The equipment you are suggesting will fit there with zero problems?
  24. g g d h
    It is going to be a simple LAN network within one building. Circa 12 wall sockets and 2 or 3 access points / routers (we will see how building structure interfers with wireless signal...). And by IPs i mean i want to be able to allocate specific numbers to specific sockets - i had enough issues with conflicts in the past to go through it again... I know very little about network configuration and my explanations may sound a bit naive ?
  25. g g d h
    TBH i dont know what are my options when "features" are considered I am not into networking. I know I want to have control over IPs and bandwidths.
