This morning im finished my first water cooling loop i have a Lian Li 011d XL with EKs front panel distribution plate and the EK mono block for my board... On the mono block the right side port is the CPU inlet and following the instructions from EK i joined the CPU inlet port on the Monoblock to the CPU inlet on the distribution plate, its on running in full after 18hrs testing but now im sunddenly thinking Should i have connected the CPU inlet on the Monoblock to the CPU outlet on the distribution plate? Any help would be appciated Cheers

Just finished (this stage) my water cooled Lian Li 011d XL, still need to upgrade the GPU and will get some custom cables but this morning was the first time its on with water in it, my first time water cooling so very please with myself. I used a Barrow air pressure tester for 4hrs, never lost a drop of air, filled it and ran it on just the pump for 18hrs and again never lost a drop of water, its now been running for 6hrs fully on with no sign of any leaks, so with all that testing i have a question How long before i can stop watching it with paper towels ready to go just in case?

i cant put the ISP router in to bridge mode and the VPN options are a joke, i want to buy and setup a VPN on the router so i can just hide everything that connects to the network. I may still just do that but its just annoying and i feel like im wasting money

Hi guys i need help...... Im in the UK and have my broadband supplied by BT as a VDSL connection, the little modem/router the provide is a locked down piece of plastic and i wanted more features and spec so bought a ASUS RT-AX86U. The ASUS is not a DSL modem just a router so i have ordered a Draytek Vigor 130 to sit between my phone line and the ASUS in bridge mode but.... The broadband i have uses PPPoA and the ASUS only does PPPoE.... is this not going to work? im confident the Draytek will work as my bridge but do i need to go find a alternative Router? ISPs are such a ball ache to deal with

The retailer has agreed its a mistake on their part and agreed to replace it and the other nine units we bought we these in them. This one appears to have leaked on further inspection I find it odd, this was as it turns out a H100i. According to the corsair website it does not support TR4 yet the H150i which has the same waterblocks surface area does, i don't get it. They are replacing the AIOs with CoolerMaster ML360s which are TR4 waterblocks. Cheers for the replies guys

I have a PC here bought from a builder, one of several that were sold and supplied with 1950x and Corsair H115i 280mm AIOs, we had only spec'd the threadripper not specific cooling. One of them started to overheat and sure enough on closer inspection the AM4 water block is not nearly large enough to cover the IHS In my head this cooler should never have been sold with a TR4 CPU and Corsairs website along with retailers don't suggest this is suitable for TR4 Am i going crazy and missing something

Can fluid flow through a D5 pump while its off? I have an idea to flush my system using the external drain and fill ports and an external pump but i dont want to use the external pump if the internal pump wont pass fluid while its off. I'm just pondering the idea of a type of dialysis to continually flush the system through between fluid changes.

Hi I need a low (ish) powered solution to running 6 monitors I have a couple of users that need to run 6 screens, until now i have been using Radeon Club 3d 6870/7870 with 6x Mini Display Ports..... they are not great but they were doing a job however the reliability is woeful and they are all seeming starting to die Now they are only running a few apps a bunch of web pages and using our purpose built app (just a VLC topper) to watch as many as 16 UDP streams coming off our IPTV network. while theres a fair amount going on its not massivly graphics dependant aand when they work they do a job Were only talking about 2gb cards so not spectacular, the issue is the 6 outputs, there arent very many solutions and now im thinking just two GPUs. With SLI coming to the end of its life i wasn't going to go down that road but can i just run two cards side by side? do they have to be the same model? could i buy one reasonable powered card and a smaller second card just for the display ouputs, i deffo want to move to nvidia for this but beyond that i dont really have a preference, they dont need to game its just video playback. I havent got lots of spares to test with and they arent great at spending money and testing is hard so id appricate if anyone has any advice/experience with something similar Cheers

anyone got one??? I'm curious, with the front distribution plate fitted into the Lian Li 011d XL does the pump position prevent the installation of fans on the side of the case? Im planning to buy my water cooling parts bit by bit with the last of my fans next week, i have 3 x QL 120mm for the top, i need to buy 3 more for the bottom and i single for the rear. In my head i was going to get 3 more for the side mounting but its suddenly occured to me that the position of the pump my prevent the fans being installed there. I dont mind asthetically if they aren't i just dont want to buy them and not need them Cheers

i was going to go 60mm on the bottom and 38mm in the top

Hey guys I have a 011d XL case running a 3950x and what will eventually be a 3080. Im planning to water cool the lot slowly getting all the parts over the next couple of months. I am deffo goint with the large front water distribution plate from EK and their CPU Water block but they are purchase for further down the road. Corsairs QL fans have started to arrive and populate the system and i will be up to 10 of these by the end of the month, making my next purchase the rads There are 3 fans at the top, bottom and side and in my head i just planned for 3 rads for each section but is that overkill??? Im deffo going to go with 2 at the top and bottom but its dawned on me that with massive front distribution plate do i need 3 rads. 2 x 360 vs 3 x rads are there tanagble gains/loses in cooling at this point? without the 3rd rad there is still going to be a tremendous amount of water in the case with a long travel and 6 QL Fans activly cooling the 2 Rads..... will i gain much if anything from the 3rd rad

1903, thats odd winver is reporting 1909, im updating it to 2004 now but if push comes to shove i'll reinstall fresh again if needs be i just ran it through Cinebench 15/20 and heavens benchmark and they all complete without issue and i installed warframe on it and that runs fine I saw OSE.exe in the minidump, hope your right. If i was to pause updates for 7 days would that essentially render ose.exe dead and in theory if you right the problem should stop..... thanks for the reply

its a brand new install as of this morning and the 2nd install on a different ssd in two days it boots fine and can be fine for upto as much as 8hrs but its also had an issue after 5mins, its super random

Hey peeps Got an old HP Elite out of work with an i7-860 in it. i have put a ssd in it and bought a second hand 750ti in it, theres current12gb of RAM in it. Its set to be a small gaming rig for my 10year old nephew. Its randomly just dying, its chugging along fine no apparent issues, its not thermal throttling CPU isn't being hammered, RAM usgae isn't through the roof. Somethines its just sat there and off it goes, BSOD and it comesback. I have a load of bits lying around so i have tried a different PSU, different GPU, i have a load of old DDR3 and have tried various combinations of 8,12 & 16gb or RAMs with different sticks, i have tried two installs of Win10 on 2 different SSDs, i have replaced all the SATA cables The windows memory diagnostics reports no issues & i have attached a text readout from the latest mindump Does anyone have any ideas of where i can go next? i'd appricate some suggesstions bc.txt
