Hey Guys, so I am in process of upgrading my current Setup and thinking about getting a Ryzen Chip for that purpose. Since my Setup is already cooled by a custom loop, I contacted the XSPC Support if they are releasing a new bracket for AM4. Fortunately I got a response pretty quickly that they are gonna release one this Month. Might be interesting for People using the same Block and thinking about to Upgrade.

Hello, I have a XSPC RX 360 Rad and 240 plus a new Alphacool Eisfach reservoir, XSPC raystorm AMD cpu block bought in September and XSPC razor gtx 680 water block. The gpu block and rads are about 5 years old. But the res and cpu block are brand new now I put them together in late September. By end of October I saw this dust sitting at the bottom of the res. So I took everything apart and saw the pipes, res, fittings with this green/blue stuff. So I started cleaning them up the res, fittings and pipes. Now the rad, gpu block and cpu block I still haven't touched. I have cleaned most of the res and fittings but they are still some left as you can see in the pictures Now doing some research I think it could be corrosion or copper oxidation. All the parts are copper and brass. Except this new res which has metals in it and I think this could be the culprit. I need you guys help on how to clean it and put my loop back up Thank you

I'm tearing down my system to clean the water cooling loops after neglecting to do it for years. My reservoir is an XSPC dual 5.25" bay reservoir that I'm having a bitch of a time cleaning. I just can't get all the corners and angles. Does anyone have any experience with these and have some tips? It was absolutely disgusting before I started; gooey light green copper corrosion coating the whole CPU side, and dark green (what I can only figure is) algae on the GPU side. I'm seriously considering just buying a new one it's so hard to clean. One thing's for sure; I'll never use this type of reservoir again. I'll go with the tube style in future builds. Here's the reservoir I have: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9542/ex-res-154/XSPC_Dual_525_Bay_-_DDC_Dual_Pump_Dual_Split_Reservoirs_w_Blue_LED_Light_-_Clear_DDCBAYTWO.html

Hi all, I'm currently planning a custom loop for my computer. I am running the following: Amd Ryzen 7 1800x @ 4.2ghz MSI Pro Carbon x370 Xfx Rx480 8gb My plan is to replace my corsair 240mm AIO with a loop running a 280mm top and 140mm rear for my cpu for now and potentially adding another radiator later when i upgrade my graphics card when the next gen cards are out. I saw a listing in my area for a few used copper radiators in the sizes i need. My question is: would it be a problem to make my loop using used radiators? My main concern would be corrosion or deterioration over time used parts may have.

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? -
Hey guys! I need some help regarding watercooling. Recently I was using air cooler for my cpu but I am thinking of overclocking my i7 6700k to 5.0 ( by the way is that too much overclocking? ). So I was filling my cart on amazon with some water cooling stuff. I'll only be watercooling the processor. So, for the reservoir/pump combo I am getting the D5 photon 270 reservoir/pump combo from xspc. The current case is the nzxt h440 razer designed. The radiator is 240mm and will be on top. The loop will go from the pump to radiator then to cpu and back to pump. The only problem is... Where do I put the res? There seems to be not much space available for it. Radiator is on top so I am not gonna change that.

Hello guys I'm building a computer I have an i5 4690K, an R9 390 gpu inside a NZXT H440. What AIO Cooler would you recommend for this computer? -
I plan on over clocking my 4790k to about 4.6 ghz but can't decide on a good cooling solution for the high temps. noctua nh-d15 or custom watercooling loop Obviously, the air cooler will be much cheaper but will the custom loop's performance really be worth the extra $200? I plan on gaming and video editing with this computer fyi. Thanks!

Just order all my watercooling Parts for my first attempt at Watercooling, Is their anything else I need? Is the Swiftech MCP655 (With Speed control) Pump any good? I was debating between Swiftech MCP655 Series, Alphacool vpp655 and Aquacomputer D5 Pump Core with Speed Control. Also with Distilled Water and Dazmode Protector whats the longest time I can run my PC for? I don't have any kind of dyes in the system if that matters.

Hi folks, I think first of all, I will list out my system specs. AMD FX-6300 Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5 Asus GTX 750 Ti Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3-1600 EVGA 500w LG Optical Drive Seagate 1TB Hybrid Hard Drive Crucial 240GB SSD Two Fractal Design 140mm case fans Corsair H105, using two Noctua NF-F12 fans instead of those crappy loud Corsair fans. All housed in a Fractal Design Define R4 w/ Window. Anyway.. I know water cooling is a bit of an overkill for a FX-6300 but I like to benchmark and overclock and I like quiet. However, the H105 isn't quiet. There's a constant buzz coming from it. It's not really loud, but it's a little annoying. I just bought it about a week ago, returned the first one because it was much to loud and the kit didn't come with all the parts. Amazon sent me out a replacement. It's not as loud as the first one, but it's still makes noise. At least this kit came with all the parts. However, I've always thought a custom loop would be really cool, but it's always seemed really expensive. Especially after watching one of Linus's videos and he seems to recommend Swiftech and Swifttech only. (Forgive if I'm spelling that wrong.) But I did a little research of my own and found these XSPC kits that seem to be a good option for beginners like me. I can trade out parts later on if I feel a need to, but I don't have to pay a fortune right away. BUT! I can't find very many reviews for the company, so I thought I'd ask here. This is the kit I'm looking at right now. http://www.outletpc.com/tp7416-xspc-raystorm-420-ex240-watercooling-kit.html I would probably return the H105, get my money back and then buy this if you think it's a good idea. Thanks, -Chuck

So im looking at droppig the bills for a set of 980ti's... i want to water cool them using the xspc raystorm block. My questions.... 1: the xspc only fits on reference design cards, are the 980ti ssc, ac2.0, sc and ftw all reference cards underneath the coolers? 2: what other 980ti's use a reference pcb? 3: anychance a g1 gaming 980ti backplate would fit on the back of a reference pcb, i love the look and would like to use it in my build

This is what I came up so far, is this a good set of parts to use for my first WC Build? Pump/Res: Alphacool Eisbecher D5 150mm Acetal with Swiftech MCP655 Series 12 VDC D5 Water Pumps - With Speed Control CPU Block: XSPC Raystorm Pro CPU Waterblock - Intel GPU Block: EK-FC980 GTX Ti TF5 - Acetal+NickelEK-FC980 GTX Ti TF5 - Acetal+Nickel with EK-FC980 GTX TF5 Backplate Rev. 2 - Black (Only Block I could find that supports MSI 980Ti 6G) Coolant: EK-Ekoolant EVO Liquid Coolant - CLEAR (premix 1 Liter) Fans: Noiseblocker NB-eLoop B12-PS or EK Vardar F4 120ER (Not sure what ones are better) - Running them at around 800 RPM in Pull. Tubing: PETG Thick Wall Hard Tube 10/8mm or Darkside Flexible Tube 3/8″ ID, 5/8″ OD (10/16mm) -Blue UV (Not sure what would be the best to use, lean toward Soft since it seems to be cheaper and easier) Fittings: Barrow With Drain and a Flow meter. Radiator: 2x Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper Radiator 240 (Will add a third if I can fit it) Also how often should I drain the loop and refill it with new coolant?

These two blocks are both on Amazon for a pretty significant price difference, but I can't seem to find how they are different. I would like to use one of them because I feel the rounded design matches my build aesthetically much better than a square block, though if there's some issue with them that I am unaware of I would go with EK probably. Does anyone know how the two blocks are different?

Hey all, I'm about to order all the parts for my next computer either tonight or tomorrow morning. I noticed for this build I'm using a lot of XSPC stuff from my radiators, cpu block(raystorm pro), and fittings. I know the raystorm pro has some glowing reviews but I'm a bit concerned about the fittings. Why are they so cheap compared to others like EKs and bitspower? I honestly never used an XSPC product before and I'm just wondering what makes them so cheap. I also heard some horror stories and glowing reviews about them, but are there any fundamental flaws about their design that I should avoid them completely? Much love, Sybre

I am creating this build that I plan to buy: pcpartpicker.com/p/YG7dVn . What do you recommend I get: a two-fan radiator or a three-fan radiator. I'm kind of a noob at watercooling so any feedback would help. Thanks Henry

EK CoolStream XE360 vs XSPC EX420 Radiator
MikeyBot posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that I have been watching Linus for quite some time now. This is my first time posting here. Anyways, I currently am running a custom loop with a Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 radiator. I am thinking of upgrading it and am not sure which of these two radiators are better. (Sizing is not an issue nor are the fans.) I am just wondering what will perform better. I've done a bit of research (googling) and found that generally speaking, the larger the radiators surface area, the better. Thickness comes second. I've also read that the EK CoolStream XE360 radiators is one of the top performing radiators out there at the moment. Taking this into account, I am wondering if the 360mm EK CoolStream XE360 (60mm thickness) will outperform the 420mm XSPC EX420 radiator (36mm thickness)? Which would perform better? Thanks in Advanced! [: -
How much raidiatior space do i need?
Andrew Storlie posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Ok so im in the process of planning my first x99 build, which includes watercooling... the parts ill be cooling are an OC 5820k (4.5ghz) and 2 980ti HOF editions that i will be leaving stock as they are OC already. The case id like to use is a corsair 450d or 750d, or air240 for a smaller build. Open to case recommendations, i like sleek looks like the 450d/750d and the build will be black and white -
Hi guys, I'm having trouble with GPU temps in my loop. At idle the temp is ~30C (with ~22C ambient) but the moment I ran AIDA or RealBench stress, it shoots up to 90-95C. My CPU is at ~30C at idle and about 60-65 at load when OCed (4.7GHz with 1.26V) which is a good enough (at least for now). However, I imagine the GPU should really be in between 50-60C at load. I have bled the loop for over 36 hours and now tilting (even 90 degrees) doesn't release any more bubbles. While bleeding I followed the bubbles around and I think the flow is as good as it can be. While the GPU is at load, the backplate gets fairly hot but I can keep my hand on it so not too hot. I don't feel the rads getting any warmer (at least not that much that I would be able to tell). I have to temp sensors in the loop and after 15 min stress test they showed the H2O temp at 32C (but I only now realized both are placed right after the rads, before blocks). I did test the mobo, cpu, gpu, ram, ssd with just stock air (outside of the chassis). GPU on air under load stayed at about 75C (IIRC). The only thing I can think of for the culprit is that the block isn't set correctly. I used the pea method to apply the MX-4 paste but I worry the washers between the card and the block are preventing a good enough contact. The XSPC GTX980 Waterblock manual specifically shows washers added between the block and the card, should I try *not* adding them? Any other suggestions? Thank you ============== I have the following setup: Mobo: ASUS Maximus Hero VII CPU: 4790k @ 4.7GHz (1.26v) RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR3-2133 CL9 (running at 1600) SSD: Samsung 850 PRO 256GB GPU: EVGA GTX 980 4GB ACX 2.0 PSU: Corsair 850AX XSPC RayStrom XSPC D5 170 Photon (pump+res combo) XSPC RX360 XSPC RX240 XSPC Razor GTX 980 Waterblock XSPC Razor GTX 980 Backplate MX4 compound Loop order: Res > Pump > RX240 (>drain with a closed valve) > GPU > RX360 > CPU > Res T-sensors at GPU-in, RX360-out The loop pic is below

Hello, just a quick question, i was considering going with a http://www.frozencpu.com/products/23382/ex-wat-303/XSPC_Raystorm_RX240_V3_Extreme_Universal_CPU_Water_Cooling_Kit_w_D5_Variant_Pump_Included_and_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g59c683s2174 Its a custom liquid cooling kit with a thick 240mm radiator, and a d5 reservoir pump combo. Im planning on only doing my cpu for the time being, and i wanted to know, how will i drain this thing, because i plan on draining it once every year, because i will be using a kill coil, and a http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17472/ex-liq-262/XSPC_EC6_High_Performance_Liquid_Cooling_Premix_Coolant_-_1L_-_UV_Green.html?tl=g30c337s1714 premixed fluid. So how will i drain this thing? Btw my case is a phanteks enthoo pro, and i will be cooling an i7 4790k that i plan to over clock with

Hi all, I currently have a little bit of a problem. I have 2x 980's that I want to watercool and I have currently ordered and received 2x XSPC Razor Waterblocks for the 980's, which my aunt brought to me from Australia when she visited me in South Africa (So no shipment fees) . However, at the time when I ordered the supplier was out of stock for the back plates... Which leads to my problem. I currently still have to buy my fittings and a couple of other things, which would most likely be imported as there is a HUGE shortage of shops that supply any kind of water cooling parts and fittings. (and I don't want to use plumbing parts) and i do not want to import unnecessary things, as I pay per kg and per package value to import. (Currently the dollar is RR12.50 to the US Dollar) Here is my question: Does anybody know whether you HAVE to use the XSPC backplates with the XSPC blocks, or are the default plates that come with the reference cards sufficient? (i.e. Screw lengths to fix the backplate to the block) I have tried to contact XSPC directly, but some lady which struggled to speak proper english from China sent the list of the cards that the Razor block fits... So that doesn't really help. :wacko: Nor do their site say anything about the blocks, however the backplate's information states that it should be used with the XSPC waterblock, but not the otherway around? There is nothing. :blink: Has anybody tried it? *I have the EVGA Superclocked Reference model cards Any help would be very much appreciated as it could save me a lot of problems!

I am looking at water cooling and the kits save so much money. I really want a separate pump and res though. Has anyone separated the Photon 170/270 and pump and if so what parts did you get for the reservoir?
