Recommendations for open loop AIO replacement

NephtisSeibzehn · May 1, 2020

Hi everyone,

I currently have a Swiftech H320 X2 Prestige and added another radiator to that loop for my CPU. It worked great with my previous build (only had the AIO) and when I installed it on my new case (corsair 1000d) it started making this awful noise. I don't think Swiftech would cover warranty on it so I think it's time I look for a new AIO. I know that Swiftech has a new Drive X3 but I am not sure that I can add another radiator like I did to this one. Is there another AIO that I can use instead? I've attached a video of it.

Sounds like air to me, but I see you are using otherwise "standard" custom loop components, so why not upgrade to a D5 pump reservoir combo?

I don't have room for it

[edit] Air? I hadn't thought of that. It was a real pain to fill and looking down underneath I do see it's not 100% full. hmm.

There's enough room in there to rent out to a college student in London for 500 pounds a month!

In all seriousness, I swear there is enough space more many more D5 pump/res combos, you can just mount them to any 120 mm fan with an mounting bracket

Haha it is massive and I'm pretty sure that someone with skill could fit a small bed in there. I honestly suck at designing builds and it's still incomplete. I bet that someone that knows what they're doing (like many of the beautiful builds I see here) could improve on it big time and actually be able to fit a 2nd pump / reservoir combo which I'd love cause then I could get another blackice radiator like the white one so the system matches. Speaking of replacements, I need to replace the fans on top and rear exhaust with noctuas so I can actually lower the RPMs for a quiet build. And I need a better power supply (can't use ram in dual channel because I suspect the system is getting taxed with my current 850watt ps...)

good lord I need so much help
