Hello there. There's always those monstor pc builds I see on the web and youtube with top of the line parts. Well not all can afford those type of setups, But what if someone who owns a basic gaming system or just entry level hardware and wishes to add a cheap liquid cooler in his build, Should he go for it? Personally I feel liquid coolers look dope. But i would like to hear from you guys and would like to be acknowledged more by you guys on these liquid coolers. There's also some doubts i have since I'm not aware of this specific hardware. 1. Do we have to refill it with something time to time? 2. Does liquid cooler expires after few years? Or it just works like a regular fan? -

Trying to upgrade my current 6 year old rig to fit the newest standard for the next few years. Right now I've decided to buy the 1080ti strix Gpu, Intel 7700k, Asus Rog strix Z270E motherboard,and 16 gigs of new ram( already have 16). So my issue is cooling the new cpu because I've heard it's a very hot processor, never really done anything pc building related and I'm wondering if I should go for watercooling or just standard air cooling. Also need a new case to fit my new parts in because the one i have is pretty outdated. Also a decent PSU to use both the new 1080ti card and my old Geforce 680. Also I'm running dual monitors at the moment. One is 144hz. Would love a case with a window panel and that looks great. The cost of cooling, case and psu is not that much of an issue so give me your best tips! -
Hey guys Basilisk here. As I have decided to custom liquid cool both my CPU and GPU (link to the build will be included below) I was wondering a few things. Is any good purple coolant for custom liquid cooling and if so could you refer me to the product and secondly would you recommend using a coloured distilled water, coloured tubing (I can't find soft purple tubing anywhere), or coloured coolant for a custom loop. I understand that the coolant is basically just distilled water with some additives to create a slightly better cooling environment for the system. Thanks for the advice.

Is it normal for the fittings to turn indefinitely on watergate block of the fractal design Celsius s36? I thought I accidentally loosened one so I tried to tighten it and it doesn’t tighten. one of the hoses is a bit tight with the way I had to mount it too. am I okay here?

Hi guys, I´m from Cuba and wanna buy an Enermax LiqMax II for my i3 7100. OK, I know this cpu isn´t overclock ready, but here, in Cuba, the ambient temperature is above 30 degrees Celsius almost every in the m***f**** year. So, is buying this system a good idea???even when my bedroom´s temperature reaches 32-37 degrees Celsius??? thanks a lot, and excuse my poor english. P.S: I don´t have an AC system, i can´t afford it. I live literaterally in f***** hot hell -
I just install my Corsair H115i on my i7-7700k cpu. When I start my PC it shows CPU fan error. About 40s after turning on the CPU temper reaches 100 degrees. And PC automatically shutdown.

Greetings. I'm currently browsing the market for some of the better cases compatible with liquid cooling. I'm currently using a Mastercase Pro 5 which, while usable, is a bit lacking. While searching, I figured I would ask this community what their thoughts are on the subject. My requirements: ~$100-250. Vertical GPU mount. Tempered glass side panel. Support for either a 120mm/240mm/360mm radiator setup OR a 120mm/240mm/240mm setup. Basement for the power supply or a power supply shroud. ATX Mid or Full tower. Able to hold two 2.5" drives and two 3.5" drives. *Optional: Comes in white. Any help finding something like this would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I've few questions regarding my new build. I'm not sure if this is the right forum as it's mostly about monitors and liquid cooling. I thought instead of posting on two different sub forums I'll just post it here. The PC would be used in the following order - Gaming -> CAD -> Video Rendering -> Movies/Internet etc. With that in mind here are my questions - Monitor - Would you recommend Triple Monitor setup (144Hz - 1080p) over single 4K? I play all sorts of games. Triple monitor should be good for productivity, immersion and racing sims I believe. Although I'm not sure if I can live with those bezels. As for 4k it's self-explanatory. Liquid Cooling - Do you think it's worth getting? I've never build a liquid cooled PC. This would be my first time. After seeing my mate's liquid cooled PC my interest has been reignited which is why I'm contemplating. The only problem I have is the maintenance and leakage. Draining and cleaning seems like a daunting task. Also I don't want to ruin my PC and the cost of paying someone to build is around $500. List of parts for reference - I believe it's a good build, but feel free to suggest a better alternative. Price in $AUD. Cheers.

I have an extra power supply and I'm going to leak test the AIO for 24 hours at least before installing it since I'm paranoid, but is it safe to plug into a molex to PWM fan cable instead of the mobo? It's a liquid cooling newb question, but it'll really help to know It's a fractal design celcius s36

Where is the pump in the Fractal Design celcius s36? The CPU block or radiator. I'm almost certain it's in the block, but better not assume. I want to know for future expandablity. If it's in the block, then I can ditch that and just use the radiator later on in a custom water loop with a better pump. It's also important to know because this one has a copper plate on the block and an aluminum radiator so I wouldn't want to do a custom loop with it with it's original CPU block. If I ever do that, I'm going to use one of EK's aluminum kits combined with this radiator.

Recommend a good AIO cooler for 8700k build. I was considering NZXT Kraken but some of the reviews are not good. A subtle RGB ring on the CPU bracket is preferred.

So.. after a few weeks of going back and forth between some parts and some other decisions (liquid vs air)... I finally ordered parts on Friday. Many arrived Sunday, went to MicroCenter (love that place) to grab some more, case arrived Wednesday, and now just waiting on the cooling parts from performance-pc (big shoutout for to those guys for getting stuff shipped Friday... hope damage from Irma was minimal if at all!). Components: CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x MOBO: Gigabyte Gaming 5 GPU: Gigabyte Waterforce WB edition RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX (DDR-3200) Storage: Crucial MX300 1.1 TB M.2 Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 (using a sata to M.2 adapter. got a KILLER deal on an open box @ micro center) Case: Thermaltake Core P3 Snow Edition PSU: Corsair RMx White 750 Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB LUX Mouse: Corsair GLAIVE RGB Monitor: LG 34UM58-P OTHER: Corsair Lighting node pro & Fan RGB controller Cooling: Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis GTR 420mm in white, Mayhems Pastel white, Mayhems ultra clear tubing, Alphacool 90 degree rotatable compression fittings, ekwb ball valve, thermaltake pacific d5 res w/silent kit, EKWB Gaming x370 mono block, 3x corsair HD140 So I assembled the case this evening, and couldn't contain myself from assembling parts I have. Some of it will come apart for the cooling to go in, but I wanted a general idea of what to expect as far as room and looks. TODO: Install cooling, paint orange accents on GPU white, MJ silhouette sticker on resevoir

Hi all, First time poster here, but long time computer enthusiast and reader of Linus Tech Tips, both on Youtube and these forums. I'm 28 but I built my first computer when I was 16. I've been out of the self-building phase for a while but I just built a brand new setup this past weekend and my specs are: ASUS CROSSHAIR VI HERO (WI-FI AC) AM4 AMD X370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX AMD Motherboard Ryzen 7 1800X G.SKILL Flare X Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 RAM SAMSUNG 960 PRO M.2 512GB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V6P512BW CORSAIR RMi Series RM850i EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 HYBRID GAMING Graphics Card Thermaltake Water 3.0 280 Riing Red Edition PWM AIO Tt LCS Certified Liquid Cooling System CL-W138-PL14RE-A NZXT H440 STEEL Mid Tower Case Upon initial build and OS install, I noticed that my CPU temps were hovering around 60C. My BIOS was out of date (v.1201) so I updated using Asus' FlashBIOS utility and updated to the latest 1501 version. I re-checked my temperatures and the CPU went down a bit, but still hovers around 42C at idle. Is this normal for Ryzen 7? I know they potentially run a little hotter than other CPUs, but idling in the low-to-mid 40s doesn't seem to make much sense given the AIO liquid cooler (http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00003008). I've checked the fan connections on my motherboard and they are all seated correctly. I've attached an image of where I've placed the AIO (pump and fan) connections. I connected both 140mm fans on the cooler to the left two fan headers (CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT) and the pump to the AIO_Pump header on the right. Is this the correct configuration for my Thermaltake cooler? I would assume that, if my pump wasn't working correctly, that the CPU temps would be much higher than even 60C at idle. However, assuming that my pump is correctly working, I figured I would get idle temps hovering around the high 20s to low 30s. Am I correct in my thinking? Or is there something potentially off with my computer and I need to adjust fan and/or other settings? Also, as an FYI, my ambient temperature in Boston, MA is around 68F or 20C right now. Cheers (and thanks in advance for any help), James

Hey guys, I'm wondering where in Canada could i buy some G1/4 plug for my reservoir. i ordered a reservoir from aliexpress and they didn't includ any plug so that leaves me with the Inlet hole that i don't have anything to plug them with. looked online on nicx but price and shipping would be like $25 for the 2 plugs... crazy Thanks!

I currently have an 1800X OC'D to 4.0ghz @ 1.38V and 2 Asus Strix OC 1080 ti's both OC'D to 2075 Mhz, I'm using a Fractal Define C case and am wanting to water cool, what I know is if a 360mm rad and a 240mm rad be enough to properly cool this system? Haven't purchased parts yet, will this case have to rad capacity I need or do I need to get a bigger a case? Would greatly appreciate any input or advice on this and thanks in advance guys!
-
So i've been planning on upgrading to AM4 but i'm a bit short on cash so I wanted to go with the cheap Athlon chip and wanted to know how well the stock cooler fairs as I don't really have the money for an aftermarket CPU cooler and I wanted to know if it was something that could wait or if the stock cooler is pretty bad
-
So what are people's thoughts on cooling, internal and external, which would people prefer and why ? would you rather have a external cooling ? if so do you, if not whats stopping you from an external cooling system ? just trying to work something out and see if people want external cooling and why there is a lack of it

So I start with that right now I have thermaltakes ultamate water 360 AIO with 3 Noctua 120mm 3000PWM IPPC fans and it works good but I want to upgrade to a custom loop so I can get better temps and include my gpu to watercooling eventually. My case is an NZXT H630 and all the hard drive cages are out and the support bracket on the bottom out too. I can remove the 2 drive bays too and I probably will remove them. Right now I'm trying to find a triple 120mm rad for the front and it does not matter how thick it is but I want to get the most performance one but I can't figure it out. I've looked around and I have some ideas but I'm not really sure. But like I said before I only know a little but I want to get the best so I don't have to upgrade my cooling again. So if anybody can help that would be awesome. My specs Cpu: Core I7-5820k @ 4.7Ghz on all cores Motherboard: ASRock - Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 Gpu: EVGA 1070 FTW Ram: G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Case: NZXT H630 -
I want to know if this pcpartpicker list is pretty well balanced. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Datrat/saved/9HLVnQ

So about a year ago now I made the mistake of purchasing EVGA's most basic model of GTX 1060. The cooler is supremely awful. I keep it at about 50% power limit since I don't play anything that intensive at the moment. However in the future when I'll need more performance out of this card, what's the best way to up the cooling? I was looking into a Kraken G12 but it seems like there's no way that would fit my 1060.
-
So the deepcool genome 2 looks like an awesome case, lots of cable management, a well organized look, and an integrated water cooling aio loop with a neat front pipe that's explosed. Though some people have said that it leaks or is a bad case, I'm wondering is this true or if you know any other case that has these features that would be nice to know as well.

Hey all, So this will be my first build since 2013 and will be my venture back to AMD thus the title.... so is the official color of AMD orange now (Ryzen color). Anyway, the new Ryzen platform has got me excited to get back into an AMD system. I currently only have my MSI GS63VR laptop as my main computer and would like a desktop to take some load off this laptop from running it's fans @ 100% at all times lol. The use for this will be mostly gaming (Destiny 2, Diablo 3, Titanfall 2, CS-GO), Adobe Premiere 4k video editing, and streaming 4k to my TV. I will be accumulating the parts over a month period to lighten the punch on my wallet. So far I just placed an order for a Ryzen 1700x and a Gigabyte AX370 Gaming K3 Motherboard. I'm still not sure what I will be doing with the rest of the parts so any recommendations are welcome especially memory. I'm having a hard time picking something that will be compatible. Gigabytes website only lists 5 that are tested compatible with this mobo. Typing in the P/N for these are only showing up with some insane priced 64gb - 128gb kits with 6 sticks of ram. (something is wrong there with gigabytes P/N's on their PDF). Anyway. I will post here as things arrive and start coming together. Rough idea of what is to come besides the CPU and Mobo: Samsung Evo 960 NVME M.2 500gb 850 watt Modular PSU of some sort Either a Nvidia 1070 or 1080... (not a TI) 16gb of DDR4 3200 EKWB basic water cooling kit? (not sure yet) RGB all things NZXT S340 or Corsair Carbide 400c case. Thank you!!

Wonder if it would be possible to build a computer that also brewed alcohol/beer at the end of it...

Hi guys, I am looking for a waterblock for this card Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC BLACK 11G . Does anybody have some experience with liquid cooling this card? Are there compatible blocks from reputable brands? Thank you very much for your replies! cheers, _PeterG_
