Hey so I need some help, I am planning to upgrade from my 4790 with a corsair (h60 i believe) 120mm aio to a 10600k and I would like to continue using this watercooler as it works perfectly fine currently. I have tried looking up weather or not my current lga 1150 socket mount on the cooler would be compatible with lga 1200 but i cant find any solid info. If anyone knows if this will just slap right on or if I need to get a new bracket (and maybe where I could buy one if I do) please lemme know. Thanks PCMR! pics for

Finnished this blog now?: Not quite, I am yet to do the Grid2 Benchmark but I can talk about the general use of the cards. Before modding, the reference card was extremely loud, as you can imagine, whereas the Tri-X cooler stayed almost silent. After this mod, I found that while the total noise for both cards has been reduced, the single 120mm fan is having to work harder that the three 80mms on the Tri-X. So it's louder post mod unfortunately. On the bright side though, the card runs at the same temperature but goes back to idle temps much faster. As for the reference, almost a 40 degree difference in max temperature. VRM: The bane of my life while working on these cards, VRM temps are still higher that I would like. At this point though, I can't amend this short of buying bigger and less stylish coolers. Which might seem like a good trade off to some of you but for me, getting this build to look right is more important that perfect temps. 65 degree average VRM in intensive games is good enough for me. Whats Next?: Well since the change from PC In A Drawer to PC On The Wall, I have made progress with the designs. These cards should be installed into the custom case next week, since its half term I can get a day off to do it in. However, I am working on another Attempts blog now. This one will feature a some packaging and an ITX Motherboard. I will not be uploading onto this blog until the cards are fitted into the final case, or until something breaks. Thank You :)

Grid 2 Benchmark, Max Settings, 2560x1080: Maximum VRM temp was 64 degrees, well within acceptable limits considering the up to 105 degree guarantee. However, Tri-x Sapphire cooler VRM temps will not get beyond 50 degrees with the same settings. This is due, most likely, to the difference in heatsink size between the two cards rather than the airflow. After I ran the bench on loop for 50 minuets, the VRMs dropped down to 40 in a matter of seconds and only took five minuets to get back to the idle (34). Of course, these are the VRM1 temps on the card, which are the main VRMs. j VRM2 readings showed a max of 61 and an idle of 51 with just heatsink and no airflow at all. This is also acceptable and I plan to get some airflow over these sinks too in the final project. There are no benchmark images due to the 2mb size limit and the fact that I have no compression software at this time. Fresh install and what not. So is all I can provide at the time. FPS was an average of 56 and max of 79 (rounded) this is all at stock clock. I will be overclocking the cards once I have compared this first 290x with the second after it's modded. Thank You :) p.s. Planning to change mounting for the second 290x. Using Paste for the VRMs rather that the provided pads. I will also spread the processor paste myself to ensure it has good spread.

Finally Some Results!: Geil VRM sinks came this morning, only two days late... Anyway, these sinks are pretty small and with a fan ghetted on the card pretty poorly, they still hit 103 degrees with furmark. However, in regular gaming, I am seeing 95s on average which is on par to the reference cooler that was on here. This post isn't about the core temps but I'm really happy with them. So this higher VRM temp is worth the sacrifice. Can I Make It Better?: I can certanly get rid of the thermal pads that came with the VRM sinks, replaceing it with a nice dolop of MX-4. Which could help with the temeratures. Moreover, placing a fan closer to the sinks will be much better. The original schems for the drawer build had me using the flow directly from the rads to cool the MOSFET, VRAM, RAM and VRMs but I think I am looking at adding more smaller fans into the mix. I suppose the two 200mm NZXTs I have hanging arround would suffice but they would wreck my airflow. Since this is by no means the finnished design I will not be posting in depth test results. Photos!: Whats Next?: Tomorrow moring I will be uploading some core temp readings and tomorrow evening there will be proper bench results. Using furmark and Vally most likely. In addition, I have H60 CPU temps to post on the drawer blog. As well as some mounting test images and other odds and sods. I'd apologise for the lack of content over the past few days but it's not like I've been slacking off. My main systems motherboard died, GA-990FX-UD5. Flat out broke, PC shut down mid youtube video and would not post. So I'm suing an MATX GA-78LMT-USB3 I theived out of my sisters build. Some good news though? I am going to be splurging and grabbing an Asus Formula V. So look forward to that blog. Thank You :)

Whats Next?: All updates that I planned for today have been haulted due to time constraints. I have to get this build finnished before 6 this evening which is going to be tough. I simply don't feel like working on blogs today. Hoever, lots of stuff arrived today so i can start updating the Drawer Blog and The Red Mod Blog. Stay tuned. Thank You :) p.s. Here's some images of the build so far...

Cooling 'n' stuffs: Just cooling the processor isn't enough, VRM and to a lesser extent, VRAM need some attention too. These heat sinks were pretty cheap and came with a terrible thermal pad that wouldn't stick at all. So I took these off and used the smallest amount of MX2 paste as possible. I also had to spread the paste by hand because the heat sinks are under any kind of retention. Didn't take long after I got the hang of spreading the paste. I have some photos but I've been having phone camera issues so this is all I got. The rest were ether corrupted or severely blurred. Whats Next? Very long day today, more posts coming tomorrow on a gaming build. These will be on the main blog channel Smokey's Chronicles. Other than this I plan to dribble bits on the Drawer blog until Wednesday where I will have major updates. Benchmarks for this 290x will be up Wednesday, delivery's permitting.

What?: I've attached a Corsair H60 AIO to a 290x reference from MSI. Insane... Yes... Dangerous?... Yes... Cool?... You tell me people. To see more on this, go to my other blog Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod. Whats Next?: Regular update to each blog, and some cool stuff on this blog by tonight hopefully. I should be able to make a start on another build late this evening and I will by uploading entries with images today and tomorrow. Thank You :)

290X With H60 Cooler... WHAT?!
Smokey77 posted a blog entry in Smokey Attempts: PC On The Wall (Drawer)
Oh My Jesus...: First step in modding the 290x is to actually mount the CPU AIO to the card. I have no VRM or VRAM cooling yet, so expect no overclocking or even bench marking beyond idle temps today. Check out my other blog, Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod, for more detail. Here are some images of the card to wet your appetite. Whats Next?: For this blog, not allot I'm afraid. I have some RAM coolers coming Friday and until then I will be posting schematics for the internals of the case. Please, any ideas on mounting positions and solutions would be great. I'm happy that at this time 75 people have looked at this blog, I'm sure many just popped in and out but if you are following this then thank you, make sure to check out my other blogs, Smokey's Chronicles and Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod. Any thoughts on this mod? Thank You :) -
Progress! My thermal paste arrived this morning so I can re-mount the H60. I have done two things differently this time around, one was to fit the cable ties like this... and the other was to add more paste. Moreover, I checked the coverage of the paste and if covers the die which is great. I did this by pressing the cooler by hand before tightening the cable ties. Now, I didn't press down super hard, in fact there were still some blogs of paste that needed to be pushed down a little more. I'm currently running the pump and fan on molex adapters to get an idea for noise. Very loud I have to say, some Noctuas wouldn't go a miss but they are a little over budget. Mind you, it is my birthday soon... perhaps I will add them to the list along with a fan controller. Anyway, everything seems to be running okay, I plan to re-attach the PCIe bracket and make sure that idle temps are insane. I will post another entry once I get some results. No stress testing today, I haven't got anything on the VRMs or the VRAM. Haven't cut the last of the ties down yet, just in case I need to ratchet them down more but I don't expect to. I can pick the card up by the H60 and it doesn't come away. Probably not good for it but nether the less, a good test to check the levelness of the mount. It was really hard to tighten the ties at the same rate. I had a huge issue with this in my previous attempts. However, the new cable tie arrangement has worked out brilliant. Here are some images of the card so far. I ill update this blog with regular info on my cards. Whats Next?: Monday next week is the due date for my VRM and VRAM sinks to arrive, once they are here I will get a couple of entrys out on this blog for the fitting and then testing. I will also add a summative entry on the main blog and on the Drawer build blog. Other than that, I may have so stuff on another build up for tonight or tomorrow depending on work scheduling. Anyway, this went pretty well, it was tense but I'm glad I didn't chicken out. Stay tuned fore more cool modding and overclocking. Thank You :)

How Much Longer?: eBay claims my VRM and VRAM coolers will arrive next this friday. I know this is an estimate so I might be looking at a delivery next week which will mean no big updates this weekend. Possibly next week I will get the time to mod the test card but I am working on a couple of other builds which are taking up some time. I may do a short blog entry on them on my main blog: Smokey's Chronicles :. Keep up to date with my personal build at my other blog: Smokey Attempts: PC In A Drawer :. Whats Next?: Well I'm limited by dilivary dates and spare time arround my college work, job and the builds I am working on but I will try and get little updates like this out every day for each of my blogs. Thank You :)

Where Am I Getting It From?: I'm sure there are many more places over seas where you an get modding supplies but in the UK we are limited to websites like Kustompcs.co.uk and Overclockers.co.uk. These sites offer great ready built mods and a wide selection of coolers, heat sinks and fans but lack things like velcro reels, screws, nuts and wood glue. So I'm getting all of the stuff for this build, barring the MDF, from eBay. I have finished the list of items I need and added some that I want, like the NZXT Sentry. Here is a link to my eBay collection: http://www.ebay.co.uk/cln/luk_bris/Smokey-Attempts-PC-In-A-Drawer/165712357013:. Whats Next? Planing to do more of these little updates leading up to this weekend when I will post the results of the red mod. Follow my other blog, Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod, for more updates on the GPU modding. Thank you :)

Stripped Naked 290x ;) (no human nudity here you dirty beggars)
Smokey77 posted a blog entry in Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod
What Did I Do?: To prep the 290x for VRAM, VRM and Processor cooling, I stripped it down. This is an MSI reference PCB card. It came with a stock cooler but unfortunately I cannot show you the removal of the cooler as it's already done but OC3D have a Corsair HG10 review where you can see it step by step. So, moving on, Here are some images of the nude card. Note I have also removed the PCIe cover because this card is being used in my current custom case. You can see the progress of this build in my other blog "Smokey Attempts: PC In A Drawer". I am also storing this card in it's original anti-static packaging, so don't worry to much about that one. Thank You :) -
What Is The Red Mod?: The Corsair HG10 and NZXT's Kraken G10 are two examples of Mounting solutions for GPUs that don't require you to cable tie it together. Another important thing to note is that these solutions have built in VRM and VRAM cooling. Whereas the red mod is much more "bodged". It basically lets you fix an AIO to a GPU with cable ties as tension screws. Geil make VRM coolers for the 290 and 290x but I can't say for other cards as I've not looked into it. VRAM coolers are so easy to find it's not worth listing them. Why Even Bother?: Because I can really, I would like to think it's to; reduce noise, reduce temperature, allow for aggressive overclocking or to look bad ass but really... I just want to try it. Which is why I am open about my lack of experience. I'd like anyone with some experience to add input. Whats Next?: I am working on a sister blog to this one, "Smokey Attempts: PC In A Drawer" in case you are interested, so updates may not be daily. Though I will pop in and look at comments each day I can. Next, I will be going through some, pre-VRM cooling, mounting tests that failed and succeeded. Thank You :)

Disclaimer: Okay, I am not an expert modder. In fact, this is my first endeavor into the trade so I would love to get some help from the community. Which is the whole reason that I made this blog. It is not, in any way, a guide. So with that out of the way, I'll start going into my plan so far. Quick Overview: Woodwork: Going for MDF over plywood was my first major choice as it will affect the budget for the rest of my build. My local builders merchant had a special so I grabbed a 2.5m by 1.5m, 9mm sheet for like £11. Once I have the Drawer bottom cut out and holed, I will test this with all the guts of my PC. To actually fix everything down, I am grabbing a 50 pack of M3 55mm screws and 100M3 nuts. This cost me arround £10 but is alot more that I hope to use. Screws: M3 screws will fit motherboard and radiator holes nicely and in my case, they fit my GPU too. This is a bonus because I can now mount my 290xs flat, and lower the height of the drawer. Length wise, 55mm is enough for the; front radiator, fan, filter and grill arrangement. Moreover, longer screws mean I can fix the motherboard and GPUs higher above the base for better cable management. Graphics Cards: As for my GPUs I intend to red mod my 290xs with Corsair H60s. I understand that circular coolers are easier to mod but at this time, I can get a refurbished H60 for only £5 more that a H55. 12 black cable ties where enough to mount the cooler well enough to get contact but I don't have any VRM coolers at this time so I could bench the card. Geil do some 290x/290 heat sinks but they are only available from the US, still waiting for them to turn up. Should only be a week now and they come with pads. I have some MX2 Compound for my cards and CPU and I will use small amounts of this for the VRAM sinks. RAM: My Avexir RAM is great but has yellow LEDs that will clash the the black and white color scheme. I could sell the and get some better RAM but that would take a while and cost me. So I went for just getting some basic black and while, full cover heat sinks to block the LEDs. Storage and PSU: Finally, I have a HDD and an SSD that I need to mount with velcro to the bottom on the drawer. Next to each other, the velcro should provde enough height for the SATA cable to attach. My PSU s the last component I need to fix into the case. More velcro for this, I will mount it with he fan facing down so I can cut out a hole and fix filters to the 120mm fan. I will also cut ventilation holes in the bottom portion of the case to allow air to get the the fan. Bottom Compartment: This bottom compartment will also hold all the elongated cables so I can open the drawer fully without having to unplug anything. Cut off from the drawer by a rubber grommet so that no air can escape this way, I will have three 120mm fans at the rear of the case to match the 120mm rad and fan arrays at the front. Whats next? The next entry will be on the GPU; modding, testing, overclocking and benching. For much more detailed look at this, check out my other blog £Smokey Attempts: The Red Mod". Thank you. :)

Hello. I’m doing my first build and I wanted to test before I put mine in the case. I was wondering do I need to have the cpu cooler on for this? I’m not gonna overclock, I just want to get everything booted. I’m using an evga z370 ftw with intel i5 9600k. My cooler is a Corsair h60 so I’m a bit stumped on how to use an aio cooler for test bench. Also I have a evga 1080 ftw gpu. help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Hello. im working on my first build and I’m trying to set it up on a test bench before I put in the case. I’m having trouble attaching the cpu cooler on the motherboard. I have an evga z370 ftw and a Corsair h60. I’m trying to attach the backplate but the screws just don’t line up with the holes on the motherboard. I’ve seen people say that it will work on a lga 1151 socket so I have no clue what I’m doing wrong. The screws move a little on the backplate but even that doesn’t help. help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Hey all, I need some advice. I have an h60 with a stock fan attached to my skylake i7 7700k. The cooler does not cut it, even in case temp of 13c (winter with windows open) the cpu was still getting up to 100c and performance was dipping down to 4000 MHz at the min (not happy...). My cinebench average is 933 normal room temp and cold room testing it was 953. I am a workstation user so cpu performance is a must. I want to be able to overclock. Is this normal or is my H60 unit defective? can I get away with the same cooler and upgrading to a push pull config with EKWB EK-Vardar F4-120ER (2200rpm) White High Static Pressure 120mm Cooling Fan. how much will buying nice thermal paste help? I'm not trying to spend more than $45 dollars fixing this problem... also my stock fan is loud under load (like loud- is that normal too?). thanks!

I'm making a build based around the 1800X, and I'm looking for a new cooler. Right know I'm looking into the corsair H60 or the H80i V2. I'm not looking for anything over 100$, because I don't intend to overclock very much. I was wondering what everyone would recommend, and thanks for the help.

Hello All, I'm planning to have my second build this month or next, and I'm considering entering the realm of liquid cooling for the first time with it. So after a bit of research, I zeroed in on the Corsair H60 liquid cooler. I know it's not the best liquid cooler in the market, but I don't really plan on getting the best mainly because I don't have the budget. Anyway, I'm a bit paranoid about the whole liquid cooling thing because of the risks associated with it(leaking and pump failure). So my main concern is its reliability. Our computer usage is usually 8+ hours a day on weekdays, mostly light usage with a couple of hours of gaming. On weekends, 10 hours at least, a mix of light browsing, gaming, design work, 3D rendering and possibly content creation. Is this cooler reliable enough to last a few years(3+) with all those hours of use?

I am building a new system, ill mostly use it for gaming. I already have a gtx 1060 6gb(and a 650w ps) and have about 500 to spend(a bit less). I think of buying: - Ryzen 5 1600 - Msi x370 krait(or sli plus) - 8gb ddr4 2666Mhz(dont know excactly which one) - Corsair H60 AiO - Aerocool Sl-5100 case What would you change(I probably wont go for B350 mobo). The only thing I am not sure about is the cooler, i dont know it will preform and i would prefer a liquid one.

Hello folks this might e a dumb question but please be kind enough to give me an answer. so my problem is when i turn on my PC i hear a water flowing noise from my radiator area, its not that loud but when i move my ear close to it i cant hear it but after like 3 or 4 seconds it goes away. is this normal or should i be concerned ? thanks in advance

Today my Corsair H60 cooler arrived, I installed it as the instructions say, but my temperatures got higher.... I bought it because my CPU had 70c on idle, and now that I have installed the cooler, it idles at 90c. I have the pump connected to cpu_fan and the fan next to the radiator is connected to a sys_fan. Please help, I can´t even play CS:GO... which doesnt require much to do so......

I though my 5 year old Corsair H60 was dead because I was seeing high CPU temps. So I replaced it with a H100i V2. After cleaning it up and testing it it seems to work just fine. I can hear the pump running and I hear water circulating through the Rad. I used my wife stethoscope to listen to it. I will caulk the high temps up to dirty rad and old thermal paste. Besides selling it or giving it away is there any thing else I could do with it? other info In case you don't know a 5 Year old H60 Has a square block and 2 brackets to mount on the MOBO. it doesn't have the popular twist lock like the H100i like other modern coolers do. . it has solid arms that can be changed if you need it for AMD. I have the AMD arms but not the back plate. I have all of the Intel parts.

so im looking at the corsair H60 cooler and im not sure if it will fit inside my case bitfenix comrade i already have the case im just wondering about the cooler would it fit?
