Is there an aluminium/aluminum GPU waterblock for the Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP! Edition graphics card. I’m trying to look into the EK Fluid Gaming’s A240G. (https://www.ekfluidgaming.com/ek-kit-a240g) Here’s the link for the card: https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-amp-edition -
So i'm doing my first loop very soon. EK Parts with PromoChill Vue Cobalt. I see some complaints about things people forgot or dind't clean well so here I am to ask. The Mayhems Blitz Cleaning System will be used to clean everything, the build will have. (will put links to the exact components in a hour or 2) EK-Supremacy EVO - Acetal Asus 1080 Ti Poseidon (built in) Asus z370 Formula X (built in VRM) EK-CoolStream SE 360 (Slim Triple) EK-CoolStream SE 240 (Slim Dual) D5 Pump with Res (not sure which one yet.) PETG Hard tubing Are there more things I can think about to get the most limited amount of problems with the coolant.

So I'm thinking about buying EK MLC kit, but idk if this gpu waterblock https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-mlc-gpu-module-fc1080-gtx-tf6-acetal-nickel will fit on 1070ti? I think it should be able to fit after I strip stock cooler off, but I don't know for sure...

I am about to purchase the A240G kit from EK. I was wondering if it would be 100% compatible with my build. I have a GTX 1080 Founders edition and a Ryzen 7 1700. Thank you

I'm on the very last bit of ordering stuff for my new build (finally). It's my very first time doing any water cooling, but I think I should be fine. Went through some different layouts for the pipes, but then I found this photo online and immediately thought to myself "I'm doing this": Here are my questions: - What type of reservoir is it? Seems to be from EK, but their website doesn't represent scale very well. - Is the reservoir in some type of combo or do I have to put it on a pump myself? If so, is it easy? - Is the top of the radiator standard to the reservoir? If not, what is it? - Is this 10/12mm tubes or 12/16mm? - What is a good brand that makes fluids? I want a UV Green reactive fluid, transparent like in the photo.

Hello, I would like to ask If its worth to go full water cool on my new pc (but like in 8 Months). I looked at EK's website and did the configurator thing and it showed around 400 Euros (which i will have hopefully). And its like pump,tubes,fans,radiator like the full package.I wanted to do it long ago. Im interested in overclocking but in the same time the overall picture of the PC (i dont mind extra noise so much). So should i wait till then and make it beautiful or go for a Air cooler instead ? -
Just as the title says, one of my EK Vardar Evo fans (the bottom one on my front radiator) has been making a super loud clicking noise when the fan spins a certain RPM. at first i tought it was the bearing, but then i would need to hear the noise all the time, which isn't the case. Is there any way to prevent/fix this? i really don't want to RMA the fan, as that would mean taking apart pretty much my entire cooling loop. -
Hello all, I did a complete tear down of my watercooling loop since it was running for a year and I noticed these tiny little bubbles on the compression fittings. The system overall had no growth or issues with different metals being mixed. 3/10 fittings did not have it but i dont remember where they where. Any idea of what these are? I tried soapy water and cotton swabs and they dont come off. I could probably use them again and have 0 issues but want to know if anyone else has seen these before? Thank you

Hey all, so I am considering the A240G (dual-loop setup with GPU and CPU blocks included) as my entry into the custom water cooling stage but, I need to know how to drain the darn thing because, as of right now, they do not include any fittings for a drainport. I've seen some plastic ones (with and without barbs), however I want to make it as easy as possible in the case I need to flip the system at any point after I purchase it. This may seem like a dumb question, but any help is greatly appreciated. -
So as a middle aged man i have decided that instead of getting a fast car or motorcycle i will build a just all in crazy totally overkill machine just because i can. I have now gotten as far as ordering the parts. Living in Norway i have a good excuse to order some hot parts so here is my parts list: Case: NZXT H440 CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700X Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero (Wi-Fi AC) RAM: 16GB G.Skill Flare X AMD Series GPU: 2 x Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64 Aqua pack PSU: Corsair RMx Series RM1000x Storage 480GB Kingston SSDNow G2 Cooling: EK 360 Extreme Kit EK-Supremacy EVO EK-CoolStream XE 360 3 x EK-Vardar F3-120 (1850rpm) EK-DDC 3.2 PWM Elite Edition (incl. pump holders) EK-RES X3 150 2 x EK-FC Radeon Vega - Acetal EK-CoolStream SE 240 (Slim Dual) 2 x EK-Vardar F4-120ER (2200rpm) I will do it all using tubing as i don't trust myself doing hard lines, still not decided what fluid i will use but i consider some toxic green or pastel red, but my 8 year old daughter might decide that it should be pink . I will put the 360 rad in the front configured with push-pull and will need to figure out where to put pump and res. I will try to keep this log going keeping it updated with my mistakes and frustrations. Update 11 Dec 2017: First delivery made and the water cooling equipment has arrived

What are the advantages and disadvantages between these two water blocks? Is there a difference? Or is it Negligible? I like the look of the Aqua Computers Block, however is that the right pick for a build? Here are the links for both water blocks: http://www.performance-pcs.com/aquacomputer-kryographics-pascal-for-nvidia-titan-x-acrylic-glass-edition-nickel-plated-version.html http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-fc-titanx-pascal-nickel-plated-copper-water-block-with-plexi-top-for-nvidia-titanx-pascal.html -
Hi all, So I've just installed EK heatsink for my Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 and I was wondering if my temps were still a bit high or if they are as expected. I remember that my M.2 temp was around 40-45 at idle but do not remember the under load temps. After running CrystalDiskMark the temp goes up to around 57C. Does anyone else have an EK heatsink on their Samsung 960 EVO? And what are your temps? Cheers.

Hi LTT Community, I recently purchased a GTX 1080 (founders) to replace my 970. Best purchase yet. The first time I booted up GTA V I was playing for about 2 hours, and some time in the middle I noticed the card was running right about 80 degrees, and it threw me off a bit because my 970 had never gotten above ~70. I manually bumped the fan speed up about 5-10% to 65, and that brought it down to mid/high 70s. Granted, maxed settings and getting anywhere from 90-115 FPS is pretty good. But my philosophy is why do something when you can overdo something (hence me buying a 5820K instead of a 6600K, two 970s, etc). So I'm thinking about doing one of two things: 1. Getting a liquid cooling bracket like this http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-hg10-n980-gpu-liquid-cooling-bracket (but for the 1080 of course) and getting a 120/140mm rad and using that for extra cooling and overclocks or 2. Getting a custom water block from EK water blocks and doing a loop for the GPU only with soft line, and a small res/pump for even more overclocks(?) I have zero experience in custom water cooling loops but I think it would be a really fun thing to try out and show off to other people. I also know it would be many times more expensive (exact price I'm not sure of). [edit] my case is a Corsair 450D, http://imgur.com/zPiP2tb you can see how much room I have in that picture. Obviously It's now only one card, about the same length Thanks for any help!

Hey. I need some help deciding a case for my future build. I want to put in a custom watercooling loop by EK. The 360 pack they sell. - Fractal Design R5 -Phanteks Enthoo Pro M -NZXT H440 -Phanteks Enthoo Evolv -Fractal Designs Define S Those cases are some cases I liked a lot because some of them have Tempered glass on the side which i love just because it looks so nice. I want the best airflow and watercooling possibilites for my setup. What do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hey. I was planning to get the x360 kit from EK since I dont know alot about the parts i should get and in the kit everything is ready. I'm planning to put it in a define s or an enthoo evolv. The real question im trying to ask is that the kit is only for the cpu, I also want to watercool the gpu. I was planning to use the msi gtx 1080 seahawk but i dont know what fittings to use. I want to do it myself but i dont trust my skills for doing that. What fittings should i use to put on the gpu, is the kit enough for going to the gpu aswell? Thanks in advance and if i missed anything just ask.

So i've just recently finished my custom water loop and gotta say it looks good! Build it after what others said would be a good way but! Its running so damn hot? Just saw a JayZTwoCents he runs his GPU at 34 (Same as mine) but mine is running at like 70C? Things i have blocks on: RX480 i7 2600K What i'm using: DDC 3.2 Pump EK Res 250 ek supremacy cpu block ek VGA supremacy gpu blok 240mm radiator 360mm radiator It goes. Res - Pump - GPU - Rad (240) - CPU - Rad (360) - Res. Cpu is okay, at 30 - 40 idle. What did i do wrong? almost all air is out ive ran it for over 24 hours..

I just need some confirmation. It appears that the ASUS Deluxe II does not have through-hole mounting points for the CPU cooler. Will the EK Predator 240 work with this motherboard out-of-the-box, or will I need to grab EK's 2011(-3) screw set or something? To be clear, This CPU cooler: http://www.ncix.com/detail/ekwb-ek-xlc-predator-240-incl-qdc-0e-125097.htm This Mobo: http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-x99-deluxe-ii-atx-lga2011-3-5c-130663.htm ....I wanted to fit all this into the CoolerMaster Master Case Pro 5, but it looks like the radiator MAY not fit at the top...so...I'm also looking for a new case! (My current CoolerMaster HAF 932 is nice and big, but it doesn't have the features and technologies the newer cases have) -
Hey guys, I was about to order some parts for my hardlined watercooled PC, and I have decided to use EK 16mm Rigid compression fittings since I'm ordering most of my parts from EK. However, I was also going to get some of this Thermaltake PETG 16mm OD Tubing from Amazon (Amazon Link), but I'm not sure if they are compatible. This is my first watercooled PC (Yes I know that I should be doing soft tubing, don't bother telling me that, I have some in case the hard tubing goes haywire) and I am not sure if it will work together since I've read manufacturers' actual sizes can differ. If they are compatible please let me know. Thanks! -
Hi guys! First time poster, thank you for having me.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for the best fittings to go with. I'm using PETG with EK blocks and Alphacool radiators. I know BitsPower has a wide range of angles but I'm not looking for angled fittings or anything like that because I'll be bending the tubing. Just want to know who makes the best and most reliable fitting/seal. Please feel free to suggest other brands if you feel they are better

So I purchased the parts for a custom loop from EK and for my pump and resevoir I bought EK-DBAY D5 PWM MX - Acetal (incl. pump) and I got all of the tubing connected properly, the 4pin header connected and the other 2pin one connected as well, and filled the resevoir, but it will not move liquid at all. There is a little bit of bubbling coming from the right side (pump side) in the resevoir and there appears to be some motion, but it is just simply not moving the liquid. I can hear the pump on. Thanks for any suggestions. -
Hi! I will be upgrading my soft tubing watercooling setup to a hard tubing setup and am choosing between ek hdc compression fittings https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-hdc-fitting-12mm-g1-4-nickel or bitspower enhance multilink fittings. http://www.bitspower.com/html/product/pro_show.php?products_id=3224 I plan on using 12mm OD EK PETG tubes. I like the design of the bitspower one, and have read that their quality is top-notch. It costs about 2 dollars more than the EK though, and I was thinking if its worth it. And also I am concerned about the bitspower being a low profile (looks like it) fitting. Which should I pick? I will be ordering my parts by tonight. -
Hi, i need your experience with this pump, ek sbay ddc, or if anyone had similar problem, feel free to share your knowledge. I am leak testing with shorted psu with a pin (so no pwm from mb) at the moment. One thing i notice immediately is the noise level, it is much higher than my other res ek dbay, but i thought that might be caused by running at full speed since no pwm header is connected, only the molex. And another thing that concerns me is the heat output from the pump, it gets very hot after running jus a few minutes, so I don't dare to run this pump for now. Anyone have had this pump or using this pump, or using another pump but had similar issuse? Please let me know. Thanks ahead!

source: https://www.ekwb.com/news/ek-unveils-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-water-blocks/ pics: --- paraphrasing @LinusTech: "these are for people with more money than common sense" it was demonstrated that the GTX1080 reference design has a power limit imposed that will hinder overclocking - it's yet unknown how much the GP104-400 actually overclocks until AIB partners release custom boards with their own power delivery systems -
I'm about to put together a loop with a 360mm and two 240mm rads. Cooling a CPU and two GPU's. I have my mind set on XSPC so far. I like their aesthetics and seem like a quality product, however I'm weary of their Photon reservoirs, I've read many good reviews on them as well as a few bad ones. I've heard great things about the other brands out there also. Though I would like to add that I'm personally not a fan of nickel plating which sort of leaves EK out of the picture. But I would still like to consider quality before I invest in something just because it looks cool. I'm also aware that performance-wise, the temperature difference between the brands is really not very big. I just want to know who to avoid and who to trust. So what is your personal opinion on the build quality of each brand? Who do you think does it best?
