You should get a 360mm for the top. A 240mm for the front or bottom, not both at the same time. If you put a 240mm at the bottom you can get a much thicker radiator versus if you put it up front. I reccomend ek for your parts, they are a bit more expensive versus others but their quality is assured.

Its fine.

I'm not sure what the problem may be, but it could be a power delivery problem. Maybe the psu cant handle the load.

I guess they feel that they can get away with it since they are a chinese phone manufacturer, most laptop manufacturers will probably get a shit storm.

Yup.

I guess you got to take the specs with a grain of salt when your dealing with super inexpensive phones. It was a learning experience tho.

Yup, seems a bit dickish not to put it on the spec sheet.

lol thanks. It turns out that phone doesn't support usb otg. Heres a forum post: https://community.zteusa.com/thread/11527

It should. What phone do you have?

What is the psu?

Did you try an OTG cable or a regular adapter, they are different.

I believe a USB OTG adapter will work for you.

The corsair wont work with both the card and the water cooler, but the phanteks will work for both if you remove the hardrive cage for the gpu and the odd cage(maybe you dont) for the cooler.

A 650 watt is more than enough, 750 would be overkill.

Sorry I gave the wrong case.

Sorry about that, I thought that the d5 was an all around better pump. I probably should know it before I type it.

For a system with that many components, a ddc pump would be way too weak and probably strained it a lot. A D5 pump would be the recommended and would easily pump the system.

I think it is a good cooler for your case since its cheaper or better quality than many other kits. Like suggested above, if you can get the 240x it will give you the better performance and give a great foundation to expand upon, you can probably add a gpu block without adding another radiator and without a huge affect on cpu temps since the 2x140mm rad is a pretty big radiator. But if you plan on staying with the 140x, I recommend getting another radiator when expanding if you plan on adding other waterblocks.

If your gonna expand the liquid cooling system in the future for things like more radiators and water blocks then go for it, its a great entry level semi open loop liquid cooler. But if you just want a regular liquid cooler and dont plan on doing any expansion in the future, then the h100i is a good option as suggested before, it'll cool better and probably be more reliable but you can't expand it.

Ya the board doesn't support, and the size doesn't necessarily correlate to speed, most regulars ssds top out at 600mb/s read and 500mb/s write. But I would go with the 1tb in this case.

I think you should get another 500gb drive and put them in raid 0, this will use the space of both drives (total 1000gb) and writes to both drives at the same time essentially doubling read and write speeds. You can use a 1tb drive and a 500gb drive but the total storage will be seen as 1000gb not 1.5 tb since raid will use the highest common capacity, which in this case is 500. The only downside is that raid 0 has no redundancy, so if one drive fails, neither will function and the data will be lost, so use it for things that can be gotten again like programs. So to recap I think you should get another 500gb drive.

The TDP is 180W, its more than enough for an i5 6500.

Whats your budget?

You arent supposed to refill them, that is why they are closed loop coolers. Also, they are not made to be opened up.

You can just use distilled water, you can get it at any medical or health store.
