  1. So i had a laptop that's been sitting in a box for years. Decided to get it back up and running and just use it as a dedicated machine for my 3d printers. So i dumped the bios and checked it out. And the voltages seem pretty high. for the highest boost its showing 1.306v. I haven't messed with Maxwell in years and i thought you wanted to stay under 1.2v. that being said the load voltages are 1.062mv @ 1.176ghz on the core. 64 is 1.306ghz @ 1.306V but i never seen it go past 1,176 with load temps of 64c Seems odd. Then again it's and Asus and they do crap like that. The card does 1.45ghz on the core with 1.081v and i could go more but im power limited and i dont feel like pushing it more since im just poking around in the bios to do some undervolting so i can get this set up and just use it for my 3d printers. But since i was in the bios i decided to see what its go. But i just think its odd seeing 1.3v. I checked out a Dell bios and looks like stock they top out at 1,05v stock. Just wanna know if anyone else had a stock bios that had some really aggressive voltages.
  2. Go with the biggest radiator you can fit in your case. The loop will last and even if you dont need the 360 if you need the power later on its there. Then if you need even more power you already have a 360 on tap
  3. Shhhhhh you might upset an EK fanboy. That being said Alphacool Eisbecher D5 is what i would go with. Having had both of them the Alphacool is more robust. But currently im using a Corsair XD5 and i love it.
  4. How did you have your NH-D15 cooling your gpu to? Because you can't really compare a heatsink with a 103w load to a loop with an extra what 200w from the Vega? If you want super low cpu temps you gotta do what I do. Cpu gets it's own loop. Even Idle your putting about 25 more watts of heat into that loop and on your cpu. How's your flow? And what's your temps when the loop is fully heatsoked. After an hour when your loop temps plateaus? Any bubbles? Shakenthe shit out of your raids after you filed your loop? Also you could have a shitty ihs. Delid/lap can help.
  5. Yeah. Mmhmmmm. Keep blaming the cooler. The cooler had absolutely nothing to do with it. And when you have to list off your "credentials" it just confirms it. You blame the heatsink. Well it's not the heatsink. It has nothing to do with it lol. Again basic system builder stuff here Cheap mobo, cheap am4 bracket. I never seen a soft bracket but I don't use cheap boards. Even then they don't break unless you have that clip on the outside of the mount and crank it down. Cracked am4 bracket. Can happen. Random Mass produced crap plastic. Keep tension on that with a small crack, thermal cycles and it breaks. Again not the heatsink. Most likely and pretty clear what Happened. Clip for the heatsink was not seated right. It was sitting on the edge and not "keyed" into it's spot. Put it on that little extra plastic at the edge puts a few more lb's of force pulling on the edge. Time, heat cycles it breaks. Like I said. It happens. Mounting it on that little edge happens more then most people think. I bet a large number of people who put the heatsink in why the mobo was in the PC and did it sideways have it mounted like this. I never seen that part break. It's not a big deal it happens no need and try to make it look like you have the only am4 heatsink in existence that is so put of spec it snaps a mount lol. If you need a AM4 mount let me know. I got about 30 sets of them. I'll send you a set. It sucks but who cares. It's a part that's cheap and anyone who water cools will give you one. Of you want one just sende message I'll send you a set. Hell if you pay for shipping I'll sent you a brand new wrath prism. I got a ton of those laying around to.
  6. Why not stop buying disposable coolers and get a real loop. I mean buying a new cooler your already In entry level custom loop price ranges. And you would have better temps and won't need to replace the loop every few years. That being said. If I was being forced to get an AIO and I absolutely had to buy the trash. I would go with the h115i. I never seen a Corsair AIO corrode. But much like your cooler now. A few years you will be clogged with plasticizers and your temps will go up. No way around that. You could clean it out but it's not worth it. First temps will go up from the micro fins being clogged. Then 1-2 years latter the pump will start to stick from all the plasticizers being stuck in the impeller. It can all be cleaned and refilled. I done it on one for a guy. But it's tedius. And not worth it. I would always use Corsair over any other brand for AIO's. From what I seen they tend to be the best overall and units using the se gen pump/block you get better fans with the Corsair and ique is nice.
  7. They do new sockets all the time. It's just a way to milk money out of people. Now the next gen could have a few year life span "nothing close to the life span of there 14nm lmfao" as a response to AMD but they won't. Because they just want money and fanboys will give it to them.
  8. You should probably learn how to install the cooler. You didn't have that side in right. You had it on the edge and it broke. The mounts and heatsinks are fine you just didn't install it right. I mean it happens but why blame the cooler when it's user error. Those brackets take quite a bit of force to break and or crack. So anyone who has installed one would of felt how tight that was and remounted. User error that's all it is.
  9. You can count on needing a new monthboard. Why would they change now.
  10. Aio's coverage is fine. Problem is from the pumps and how much water is in the loop. Pumps have the flow rate of a 95 year old trying to pee. And hold barley any water in the loop.
  11. I don't know why but you should be fine. I don't see anything that would cause issues. The mount Is basically like there old aio mounts. Unless it's something with the size of the standoffs for the mount.
  12. I delided my 9900k and I'll tell you right now if you haven't delided a cpu don't try a soldered cpu. But indium is extremely soft so if you do it right you won't hurt the cpu at all. You need to do it right tho. And unless your 9900k can hit the upper limit of what the 9900k's clock to. There's no real point in doing this. That said. I saw a small improvement in temps. However I saw the same drop in temp by lapping my ihs. Combined it was a nice drop. But personally if I had an average 9900k I would just check how flat my ihs was and if it's not just lap it and call it a day since that's much safer overall. My ihs was kinda like a soup bowl. Thanks Intel. But for the last few months I had my 9900k I went lidless on it with a custom loop and I prefer that over everything else. No shockers that was the best but you need a mount to hold it in. I just used my block lol. But you will need a shim to protect the cpu. If you are not totally flat you can chip or crack it and kill it. I chiped some old athlons and what not back in the day they were fine but with how small stuff is not a small chip can get a pretty big Chuck of your cpu. My spacer was like the old school athlons had. Just 4 little foam pads and it worked great.
  13. Bclk you will have issues. Example after a 115mhz bclk on my 3900x my windows gets corrupt. So I would not even mess with the bclk. You won't really gain anything and if you go to far you will lose data
