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

https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Liquid-Cooling/Dual-Radiator-Liquid-Coolers/Hydro-Series™-H115i-280mm-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-CPU-Cooler/p/CW-9060027-WW#tab-tech-specs Its not listed as TR4 on this page, strange

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

Cheers guys for the advice lots to think about

I have just ordered a Lian Li 011d XL, i'm going to transplant my rig into it Its going to be Water Cooled but i'm in no rush after just building the PC (and because my wallet hates me) so over the next few months buy parts i need to build the water cooling system. Im set on the EK-Quantum Momentum for the Crosshair VIII as my starting point & build it from there Should i / Have to buy all the parts from the same manufacturer? Ive no reason not to i like the EK parts i'm seeing so may just stick with them but is an 360 Radiator from EK really any different from someone else 360 radiator? Are all G1/4 threads cut to the same standard from one to another? Are EKs fittings as good and better/worse then brand X? if i see a fitting that i like from a different brand can i use that instead I'm trying to plan ahead now so a) i don't cause any unnecessary leaks or damage & b) just want to know if i can mix or match

Hey peeps Im supprised theres no RGB section to the forum so sorry if this is being asked in the wrong place I have Corsair iCUE installed controlling & Managing my H850xi PSU and my 32gb Vengeance Pro RAM. Due to a faulty MB issue i have changed from a Aorus Master to an ASUS ROG Crossfire XIII but i am now seeing and can control the ASUS board RGBs onboard LEDs through iCUE and it appears that i'd be able to control anything plugged into the headers as well. A quick google and it appears that in Feb Corsair and AURA are now in fact compatible and AURA MBs are in fact support in iCUE. Does this mean anny AURA compatible device i buy and connect to the motherboard will also be visible to and be controlable using iCUE? I am getting ready to drop all this rig into a Lian LI 011d XL and am planning to use EK water blocks and kit to water cool it, will all those parts (which support AURA) be seen through iCUE now? Cheers

I tried that myself, i have seen that happen before on other builds. PSU tested as faulty as well

Cheers The connections are all sound and the case grommets are all in place so theres no PSU cables rubbing against edges or corners. The UPS plugs into a mains socket which i have tested as good, im in the UK so everthing is earthed indivually and the UPS plus into that socket. My router, NAS, a small netgear switch and a single monitor plug into the UPS and none of them had any issue during the failure Ive done plenty of builds in the past, i recently used 3 of the smaller Aorus mini-itx boards for PCs in work and they are all fine, i have just never had this kind of failure before and the fact it happened twice had me concearned especially cause it my own money

Hey Bought a bunch of new components, 3950x, Gigabyte X570 Master, Corsair HX750i, 32gb RAM ans 2 seagate M.2 drives Turned up and after 9 days the MB died, sent it all back for testing and was told the MB was dead, all sent back 16 days go by and the same again. The MB was dead again, i had concearns over the PSU which they had tested and this time they said it was indeed faulty. I insisted the change the MB to an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and due to a lack of stock they upgraded the PSU to a HX850i. In my head i now feel that the motherboard died due to a faulty PSU and thats why i went through 2 boards and both have been replaced. The CPU, RAM and M.2s have been fine all along. Its all put back together and working, there are no thermal issues and its not overclocked (other the XMP for 3200mhz RAM) The first failure happened with no UPS and the second it was plugged into a UPS, the only thing plugged in is an anker USB HUB and it connects to my AV Reciever via TOS-Link Have i been really unlucky getting a bad PSU that killed two boards or is there something else that might have caused it? I have never heard of a component being faulty and killing a MB but remainined working itself, the CPU & RAM are fine, my 1080 has been fine all along Is there anything else i could test or do as a preventative measure or anything i should be watching out for that might cause an issue, i have become super paranoid that i am going to have to rebuild this again Cheers

I have, they are going to let pay an extra £20quid on the cost of the ASUS AMD Ryzen X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero To be fair to Scan (reseller in the UK) they have been really good about all this but my frustrations at all this has my blood boiling....... and brandy isn't cooling it down strangely enough

I'd love some feedback on this I bought the following AMD Ryzen 9 3950x Aorus X570 Master 32gb DDR4 3200MHZ RGB Vengeance 2 x 500gb Segate Barracuda PCI-e GEN 4.0 M.2 Drives Corsair HX750i PSU Noctua NH-14 This all went into/with my existing Fractal Design R5 MSI 1080 2 x 2.5" Corsair 240gb SSD All arrived (soooo excited) built the machine fired her up & basked in the glory, i was soooooo happy...... for about 9 days. I installed Paint.net.... nothing spec or hardware related..... but am a stickler for restarting after a software install so did just that, mid re-boot it just went off and never came back, loads of testing later and the Motherboard is toast. My reseller had all of the components back to check nothing else had been damaged and they weren't and i got my motherboard replaced and after a six day turn around i had all my parts back and woooohoooo she was backup and running Until last night Its been 16 days since i rebuilt her, she ran perfectly fine and there were no signs of any problems, with the exception of a little subnautica on Sunday i did nothing stressful (rig wise) and around 10pm last night i shut her down and went to bed. This morning i went to turn on the PC and nothing AGAIN and again after some testing the MB is dead and for the second time it stripped down. I have tested the CPU, RAM & SDD's they are all fine, tried a different PSU and nothing, the motherboard for the second time is toast. The PSU does work but i am wary of it and sending that back for testing as well. I have been in touch with my reseller and again they are sending a courier to pick the motherboard and PSU up, with the failure of the same board twice i have lost faith in the Aorus and asked to swap it for a ASUS ROG X570 instead. Have i been really unlucky here or is there something more sinister going on? I get that electronic failures happen but the same model board twice the same way?. Being so much more powerful then the I7-3770 it replaced i still have that new toy feeling where everytime i put it under load i had performance manager open along with Hardware info... it never thermal throttled, but EVEN if it had could a CPU that had run hot kill a MB? I had to update the BIOS to enable the XMP profile to allow the RAM to hit its maximum speed I have a USB3.0 Anker Hub plugged into it along with the Oculus Rift Sensors (not the headset) the USB dongle for the Keyboard & Mouse, An XBOX controller USB Dongle EVERY other component is working but could one of these cause an issue? The GPU is the oldest unit its working fine i have tried it in another PC and there's nothing wrong with it ran Heavens Benchmark fine but could that or any other component cause a MB to pop without taking itself or any other component out..... twice!!!! This whole rig runs behind a APC 1400 UPS its surge protected, They have previously tested the PSU from the first round and they can find nothing wrong with it, neither could i but i cant help but be wary of this now, could there be a problem here where there's some sort of cumulative build up leading to an issue that ONLY kills the MB (Ive never heard of anything like that) What do we think peeps have i just managed to stumble upon the worst batch of AORUS boards ever? have i done something wrong? Bear in mind this all ran fine for 9 days the 16days before failure its not like it was turned on and went pop out of the box. I could really use some feedback Cheers

Cheers guys Yes im using 2 sticks, they are in A2 & B2, the board labels them as the first two slots to use so i am happy they are right. I'll give those BIOS settings a try.....

Hey everyone i could use some help So after 8(ish) years of an i7-3770 it was time for an upgrade..... I bought a Aorus x570 master with a R9 3950x and 32gb 3200 Coarsair Vengence Pro RAM, corsair HX750i, a couple of Firecuda 500gb M.2 drivs and topped it with a Noctua NH-D14. Its built works fine and the difference is beyond ridiculous... very happy but Everything i had seen previously said one of the first things to do was jump into the BIOS and enable the XMP profile in order to allow the RAM to run at 3200mhz, i enabled the XMP profile in the BIOS it seemed to see the RAM speeds fine but the system became unstable and wouldn't even get through installing windows. I reset the BIOS and have since installed the OS and all my apps etc and everything is top draw but im not using the RAM to its potential. Until the new case appears and i water cool the rig im not planning to overclock anything but i didn't think id get issues just enabling the XMP profile. Anything obvious i am missing or am i goint just have to bring the speed up until i find a sweet spot? Cheers
