Hi to anyone reading this, I just bought a 240mm aio (I think the pump's an Asetek 4th gen unit) for my reference vega 56 (you can probably guess why), and realised that there aren't enough fan headers on the motherboard to connect both the fans (2x Noctua nf-f12) and pump into the motherboard. I'm also keeping the blower fan on the gpu, as I'm going to use it to provide cooling for the VRMs, so plugging either of these into the header on the card isn't an option. I do have a molex to 2 pin (there is a hole for, but no third pin on it) adapter though, which I can use to plug either the fans or pump into. From what I've seen online so far, most aio pumps run at 100% all the time, but I can't help wonder then why they have a third pin (as on case fans this is used only for DC fan control as far as I'm aware), and so whether using a 2 pin adapter is safe or recommended. Of course I'd want to be able to control the fans on the radiator as well if possible, as even using the low noise adaptors, the fans are quite audible.

This is more of a discussion question than a pressing matter, but I'm just wondering if there's any consensus on the general lifespan of an AIO. I've got an EVGA clc240 that's been chugging right along since mid-2017, and I've been wondering if I need to think about replacing it at some point before it causes any problems. That line of thinking lead me to wonder just how long these things can be expected to last... Is 5 years a reasonable time to get a new one?

hello, i already have a tt view 31 one case with an evga clc 280 cooler and i want to get something with more airflow like the c31 commander ( iy has a mesh front eoth 2 200mm fans), my question is iam planning to put the radiator in front behind the 200mm fans, but iam afraid that they will draw hot air into my gpu. can i put the fans as push / push or it will cause a turbulance? my last option is like iam doing now on top sucking air out of case

So there is no real test info on actual heat output. While I am not a PC noob I have always steered away from liquid cooling. Well this next rig I am doing it! I was always worried about the the maintenance, and it looked like more work than I wanted to put into it. I was looking for an above average CLC/AIO and I found the Alphacool Eisbaer Extreme and thought that might be a good option. A few people were quick to tell me about past Alphacool pump failures. I really like the Phanteks Distro block they showed at Computex but for that I would want hard tube PETG or Acrylic. While i think it would be easy to lay out a system with that, the tube bending for the uninitiated looks like a daunting task. I thought about using elbows and only straight sections but that does not look as good. I Don't want a Corsair product, but I really like that 5 year warranty vs 2. I really would like a 280 or 360 radiator. Looking to get my feet wet (Pun intended but not literally) I would start with Just CPU and add a GPU Block later maybe... Sorry for jumping around so much. I plan on using a Fractal R6 TG White. I know its not the best but it has above average filtration and that is very important to me in my use case. I wish I could take my build to a expert have them help me do the bends and installation. I am quite comfortable with building the system and wire management. So summary 1. Which CLC do you recommend? 2. Why do you like that model? 3. Should I bite the bullet and buy a EK Performance Kit but $600.00 bucks that's gonna sting! 4. Thank you for your help in advance! 5. To early yet but I was leaning towards a ASUS X570 Prime Pro (White Board) 32 gigs of QVL Ram Dominator or Gskill a 970 Pro (Hope they launch a (980 series) a second NVME EVO for steam A RTX Super card Not sure on which 1. any thoughts on this setup? Already purchased Seasonic Prime Titanium 850 PSU. 6. Again thanks for any help !

Just had a question for anyone that might have an answer. I have a Cooler Master Nepton 140XL all-in-one closed loop cooler that I bought in 2014, used it on my Z97 gaming rig for ~4.5 years, then upgraded my rig to X299 platform in January of this year (2019). During the upgrade, I noticed my CPU temps were skyrocketing, hitting Tj Max and shutting down the computer. My first troubleshooting step (since the CLC was almost 5 years old and never opened) was to pop open the AIO seal on the cooler, dump out the fluid that came with it from factory, and replace it all with distilled water.I quickly learned that the integrated water pump in the cooler wasn't running properly when connected to a header on the board, so I plugged it into my case's 3-pin fan splitter/hub (running off PSU molex) for non-PWM power (I don't mind my pump running at 100% 24/7, and I think that's exactly what plugging it into a PSU-molex-powered fan hub does, correct me if I'm wrong) With the pump power wired up to the PSU, the temps were fine (not stellar but definitely workable). 9 months later, I'm finally getting into overclocking my 7800X, and I've can get it to run at 4.5GHz, but the temps are eventually hitting 99C. Now my main question is: Is the CM Nepton 140XL simply not beefy enough of a cooler to keep my 7800X @ 4.5GHz cool enough, or could it be possibly clogged up with algae or something because I popped the seal 9 months ago? I know you're not supposed to open the CLCs, I opened mine because I thought enough coolant had evaporated over the years to where it needed to be topped off. Was I wrong? Maybe I added too much water back and it's causing the cooler to operate inefficiently? Also note that I have the radiator fan pulling air through the rad and out the top of the case, pics attached for further detail of cooling setup. Should I try installing the cooler in a different orientation? Maybe change it from pull to push config? Any suggestions are appreciated. Cheers, -Bludude4

Sup forum users, I just build my new PC that I've been planning for over a year and the only issue I still have is that my EVGA CLC 280 liquid cooler isn't recognized by the X1 EVGA software despite me having the block hooked up with the included USB 2.0 cable. Does anyone have this cooler or know what the issue might be? If anyone does that'd be greatly appreciated.

so, ive got a ML360r wich comes with its own fanhub, but im gonna use 3 LL120s on it instead, ive got 2 commander pro nodes for the fans, but how do i best go about this, do i use 3 fans per hub or can i somehow use 1 hub for CPU and case fans?

https://imgur.com/c0NgmUo Gamers Nexus new video states that the best AIO Front Radiator with tubes going down to eliminate air bubbles. Does it really matter? Because I have a 360mm AIO on its way and I'm not sure if the tubes will allow me to orient it from the bottom as the link above shows. * Top rad is not an option. Rad + fan is too thicc and will hit my mobo and ram. My case is an NZXT H440

https://imgur.com/a/ZRkHLGF Link for the images are right above. I accidentally screwed in my Arctic Freezer II 360's radiator to the case with a longer screw -- assuming it was like my Kraken before that cases the screw within. Am I going to see any leaks later? The water tube-thingy is fine, just the fins are messed up on that one spot. Thanks in advance. -
Since the new NZXT Kraken X72 has just been released, I was thinking of adding it to the plan for my personal rig. Problem: I totally love the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX (TG, of course) and I'm unsure as to the height compatibility of triple rads in it. http://phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-mATX-TemperedGlass.html According to Phanteks, the maximum width of the radiator could be 126mm, so the X72's 120mm thickness seems like it'd be totally fine with that. What I'm worried about is the height of the radiator. I'm worried that they say that "oh, triple rads fit" more as an accommodation for open-loop triple radiators that might have more low-profile plugs, instead of the tubes that come out of of a closed-loop radiator. On the site, it doesn't say how long/tall the radiator can be in order to fit in the case. https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-x72 Does anyone know from experience what can fit? Length of the X72 is 394mm according to NZXT -
If a system is at 100% CPU usage at 60C and drops to 25C within 2 seconds when the system falls to 5% CPU usage, does this indicate good or bad thermal transfer? I've noticed that my de-lidded CPU with liquid ultra under the IHS doesn't get better cooling. It's almost exactly the same as before. That might be on the H80i and it's thermal capacity, but I have noticed what I mentioned above. Thanks in advance for your experience. -
What are the differences? Aside from the RGB, is one better? I only want to know because I'm planning to make shift in coolers for two people's build (give my wife one of the aforementioned coolers//alternative 240 aio/clc -> replace the h100i v2 in push-pull and give it to a friend; a r3 1200 and r5 1600 respectively). I know she doesnt need a crazy cooler, but my friend does and would benefit from it. Just want to keep current overclocks I have with a well-performing cooler that will fir in her Corsair Air 250 case. Any recommendations//knowledge of performance of the aforementioned coolers? Budget for this around $100 (preferably less). Thanks guys! -
I'm in pursuit for QUIET CLC or AIO CPU cooler. I'really don't want a jet engine or humming noise in my room where I sleep. Can you recommend some ? Thanks!

I just bought a CLC (Coolermaster Nepton 240M) and I need some advice about the airflow in my case (Define R5). The easy option (and how Linus did it) would be to pop off two of the top panels and mount the radiator on the top of the case with the fans pulling warm air through as an exhaust. However, I would rather not mount the radiator to the top due to possible noise levels and the slightly inefficient design of the R5 which would leave large (unfiltered) gaps at the side of the radiator/fans which could allow dust to fall into the case. So I would prefer to mount the radiator at the front of the case, where there are filters, with the fans acting as intakes, pulling cool air onto the radiator. Of course this means by the time the air has passed through the radiator the fans will be pushing warm air into the case...is that bad? Would it be sufficient to use the spare fan (which was originally at the front of the case) and move it to the bottom of the case as an intake? I would leave the 140mm fan at the back of the case as an exhaust. The PSU airflow is self contained and shouldn’t effect the incase airflow. (see diagram). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to cool a 3570K with a heavy overclock on it, would really like not to go with air cooling for various reasons (especially not a massive 140MM tower). Case is an NZXT S340. Not much info, but not much is necessary.

What is the best 100 dollar closed loop cooler I can get? I will go a little bit over if necessary.

I've been doing a lot of research, but I can't come to a conclusion. Of the 3 AIOs listed above, which one would be most beneficial in cooling an i7-4970K with an overclock? My chassis, while full tower, cant fit anymore than a 120mm rad, so I'm at a loss for what to do. I'd purchase an air cooler, but they take up far too much room, and the person who is bringing this for me won't consent. Please, I really need some help. Thanks in advance all!

Closed Loop Cooler on an FX8320 - Is it worth it?
Guest posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
I've been looking at the next parts on my upgrades list, and the next thing is a replacement CPU cooler. Quite simply, the stock cooler on FX processors is just horrible to listen to - it's clearly audible when idling, and after a few minutes of gaming reaches that high pitched whine that sounds like a strangled cat, 747 taking off and an imminent explosion all shoved into a blender. What I'm looking for is something that won't be easily heard over my case fans when idle (I'm using the stock fans with my Z11 Plus, but will eventually replace them with some NF-S12A's or similar) and will be able to cope with a mild overclock. After lowering my CPU voltage to 1.2V down from ~1.35V my idle temps went down to 18-25C (just above room temp) from 35+C, and Prime95 doesn't push it above 45C (before it would hit 70C). This is roughly what I was getting in the winter when my room was ~10C, so it does appear that the stock cooler can cope well enough if the voltage is lowered. I was originally going to get Noctua's NH-U12P since it's the best air cooler that would fit in my case. I don't think the 140mm version would quite fit. However, I noticed that some of of Corsair's CLCs were around the same price (£50-60). After looking on their site and at what others have said, it appears that the only one worth considering would be the H75 since the others wouldn't cope well with such a high TDP if I decided to overclock, and the H90 is 140mm which is a problem since the only accessible fan mounts in my case are 120mm. My question is this: Would it be worth getting a H75 or similar CLC if I want to do some mild overclocking (push to about 4.3GHz), or would it be better to stick with an air cooler? My main goal is a reasonable noise level under load and the headroom for some overclocking. -
So I just installed my new h80i (with air flow corsair fans I bought separately http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Performance-Edition-CO-9050004-WW/dp/B007RESGD0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1388176621&sr=8-5&keywords=corsair+fans), and after fiddling with corsair link and asus 4 way optimization software I've come to the conclusion that my new cooling is actually louder than the stock intel cooler. Is this normal? And is their any software to allow me to custom set the RPM of the fans? When I try to use fixed RPM in corsair link it won't go below ~1800 RPM. (I've also installed new the quiet 140mm version of corsair fans to replace the stock intake fans of my HAF XB)
