Does anyone have experience replacing seals or aware of standard sizing? I bought a GTX 1080 founders edition with EK water block fitted, EK supremacy intel water block, 240mm and 120mm copper rads, reservoir and d5 pump and the seals I can see are quite work where they seem to just sit flush with the surface they meant to be sealing. I’d like to replace what seals I can on the fittings and gpu water block. For the water lock a 2mmx143mm seems to be the right size as I estimated the old o-ring at something like 450mm long. For the fittings the old seals seem to be shaped rather than o rings but I think o rings should still work. I measured 11.2mm internal diameter, 16.2mm external diameter and a height of 1.2mm so thinking 2mmx11mm o rings will work. for the tubing I think the sizing is 3/8”x5/8”

Personal computer build and I wanted a computer case that you couldn’t just buy so this is what I came up with Computer specs Itx z490 asus motherboard I9 10850k intel processor Rtx 3060ti zotac gpu just upgraded to a 3080 founders 32gb ddr4 g-skill ram 2 1tb 2.5 intel ssds 750 watt sfx silver stone power supply 360mm aio cpu cooler And all the fans im working on the finishing touches but what so you guys think of it ? ive been thinking about selling and i dont know if anyone would be intrested in it please let me know what you think

Hello there! I got a small question again.... Instead of the rtx 3080 turbo from gigabyte, I got my hands on a Zotac Rtx 3080 ti AMP Extreme Holo. Im gonna watercool it but the pcb layout is kinda strange its waaaaay larger than that of a normal 3080 I think? So I got myself a EK Quantum Vector Trinity 3080/3090 for the gpu but the pcb is like twice the size of that waterblock and I cant really find anything that surely fits my gpu. I think that its a oversize layout of the reference design but im not too sure about that. Do you maybe have any idea what waterblock might fit my gpu? Iam kinda desperate by now because I can barely find any info regarding that gpu its really strange. Down below is the pcb of the gpu the cooler looks just like the normal Holo one

Hello! About 9 months ago I decided to upgrade my PC. I trusted them with building my previous build, and they were quite reliable, but the company insisted on also dabbling into water cooling they haven't really done previously, and messing with overclocking. Since I'm not a specialist, and most definitely wouldn't be able to solve any long-term damages to the PC or spot mistakes in the BIOS and overclocking in general to prevent them, I was hesitant, but finally caved in. The issues started when I started playing video games and my motherboard made noise warning me about high CPU temperatures and they were close to 88 degrees. The only resolution was to uncover permanently one side of the case and add one more fan. I brushed it off as a general issue with this specific case from "Be Quiet" model 601 which definitely does not equal to "be cool" and the generally bad foam in the case supposed to "reduce the noise" and choke my pc. definitely I didn't connect them any overclocking or settings per say. Now 8 months after, that is the noise that my pc makes, idle, every 3-4 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egkXqf8enSQ Also the PC does seem to have some problems and occasional "freezings", plus from what I researched, they used GPU Tweak II which, from what I gather is not the best for that? Here is my hardware: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/46330264 BIOS, GPU Tweak II, and CPU-Z https://imgur.com/a/6FzaUvs Basically, I'm trying eliminate overclocking and BIOS issues before jumping to diagnosing the water cooling itself. However, if the setting are in the safe range and are not in any way related to the noise, I also had some more Windows 10 related issues that started appearing after each updated and accumulated, so I am planning to reinstall it, and if indeed the overclocking is just fine I would like to prevent and save the settings before installation. What would be the best way to go about it?

for ref my current gear an desired gear current old an target finished gear (mb bios updated an ready) im currently prepping to go from a 120mm aio to full custom water for my old first build iv got a 5800x on order to replace my older 2600x that has served my well but i now need more out of my older rig an i know the 5800x getting way hotter then the 2600x which with my arctic freezer II 120mm never broke 54c under load oc'ed at 4.3ghz in a 72deg room for the 5800x i know ill need more an aside from my cpu iv upgraded my from a gigabyte 1660 super oc wind-force x3 to a power color fighter 6700xt an hope that ill get close to the same cooling i got with the last gpu which as you'll see i pix this layout is what worked best for the aio an gpu , iv got the rear an fronts as intake an the tops as exhaust an the case fans on custom bios fan curve set to ramp as system temp rises an the aio in push an ramp as needed , in the past the aio was in the rear in pull the only diff between then an now is my rear mobo heat-sinks run cooler by an avg 7deg both idle/load an the gpu idle/load is 4deg higher , if i could mod the psu shroud into a ramp for the bottom front fan to scoop/direct air flow i would, but not sure how an what id use to do that with ? aside from that mod im currently trying to decide what rad & rez to get as iv got limited space from both an dont want to change layout for fans or gpu , iv got fittings , tubing , cpu block , pump an coolant so any good advice for doing this will help my current considered picks for rad & rez are with mods this id use this 50mm version of this air duct on the rear to aide cooling the rear bridge https://www.etsy.com/listing/1119238671/120mm-vrm-cooling-duct-120mm-fan-size?sts=1&variation0=2319052234 an move the top front 140mm closer to the rear to help fit a https://modmymods.com/aquacomputer-airplex-radical-4-120-aluminum-fins-33702.html in place of the current aio an rig as pull over push with a 2nd 50mm right angle duct aimed up to not have rad heat blown across the mobo an use this rez https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/reservoirs/bitspower-water-tank-z-multi-200-acrylic-version-bp-wtzm200ac-cl.html does this rad an rez combo seem like it could adequately cooler a 5800x possibly oc'ed to 4 to 4.3ghz to near same temps as the 120 arctic did from the 2600x heres another view but with older gpu

Hey guys, I'm an entry level music producer/video editor and my laptop is no longer able to keep up with my workflow. For that reason, I'm looking to build a new PC. I've been looking for the past couple of months for some parts that I would be interested in, and am wondering what you guys would think about this build. (Any concerns or drawbacks from what I chose) Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX TG CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X CPU Cooler: Swiftech Drive X3 h240 CPU Block: Im swapping the stock block to a Swiftech Apogee XL Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix x570-I (when it comes out) GPU: EVGA 2080TI or EVGA 2070 Super ( I don't know if I need a 2080ti) RAM: 32gb of Crucial Ballistix Elite 3200 MT/s STORAGE: 2x Samsung 970 Evo 500gb M.2 drives Power Supply: EVGA G2 650w Case fans: Corsair ML120 Pro RGB 3pk and 2 Noctua NF-P12 fans for the swiftech radiator. Here's a parts list from PC part picker (I know the RAM is ridiculously overpriced but ill find a nice deal somewhere else lol) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CfkxLJ My endgame would be to switch the Swiftech Drive x3 soft tubing to hard tubing for aesthetics. Only looking to water cool the CPU ATM. I would consider water cooling the GPU in the future. Do you guys thinks this build would suffice? Im a pretty savvy guy and think I could handle the swapping of the tubes, but is there anything I should know or worry about before making this pretty big investment lol? Thanks

I am looking for a slimline rad with a total thickness of less than 25mm. I found the XSPC TX240, which are 20mm, but have only found it out of stock with no plans on restocking. The next smallest size I could find was 27mm. which may be possible due to the side panel giving about 2-3mm of space but I dont exactly want to buy it with that small a chance.

I am currently having this crazy idea because i cannot find a AIO Water cooling solution for my GPU Gigabyte Gaming OC 5700xt custom aircooled. The idea is to use a CPU Water block to Cool the GPU and using its old Air alumium fins (cut and chopped as needed to cool the parts that are cooled already with it.) Off course this making loses 1 fan in the middle of it and some...plate in mid for the cpu water block to pass through. 1. I wonder if ANYONE has tried it and with what CPU WaterBlock. 2. Do you have any idea if it will be viable in terms of not uping the temps of vrms or other staff on the pcb, becuase of the cuts in the plate? Any other recomendation to try instead? Remember its not the reference design from gigabyte but a custom. Thank you.

What up everyone, got an upcoming Rig build and thought that the best way I can meet everyone is to post some info on my upcoming rig that I should be building within the next month or two to replace my 5 and a half year old PC that I currently have. This upcoming rig will be used for VM Management, Video Editing, Streaming and Gaming to name a few. I Included a screenshot and PCPP Link with my Part List. All feedback/suggestions are welcome, this will be my 1st time doing anything this overkill and pricey and 1st time delving into Custom Water-Cooling. So far what Iv'e got part-wise is: Power Supply - EVGA SuperNova P2 1000W Video Card - Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 56 Limited Edition PC Case - The beautiful Lian-Li PC-011 Dynamic Der8aur Edition (White) Parts still to get: CPU - Threadripper 2nd Gen 2920X 12-Core RAM - 32GB 3200Mhz CAS 16 Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB Memory (White) Motherboard - Asrock X399M Taichi Cooling Fans for Radiator(s) - Lian-Li Bora Lite 120mm Fans (x9) Storage - Samsung 970 Pro 512GB M.2 SSD, Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2 SSD, WD Black Series 6TB 7200RPM HDD PCPP Link - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/islandg%40m3r/saved/#view=q37KZL
