Posted September 19, 2016 I am trying to find a solution for the people who don't want or know or have the money to build a custom watercooling loop will update and post finds and suggestions (after extensive tests) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2016 Why do you need extensive tests? Just put an AIO on your CPU, and then an AIO on your GPU. Simple. Tons of people have already done this, look on google.

Posted September 19, 2016 There are plenty of AIO liquid coolers for the CPU and NZXT and Corsair both sell brackets you can put on your GPU for a AIO cooler. i5 12600k | ASRock Z690M-ITX | 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz | EVGA 2080 Super Black | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB + 980 1TB | Corsair RMx 650W | Thermaltake Tower 100 White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2016 other than separate aio on cpu and gpu, there's also an expendable aio system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 19, 2016 I modded a CM Seidon 120V V2 onto my 290 and saw a temp reduction by 10~ Celsius. It's worth it. USEFUL LINKS: PSU Tier List | F@H stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 19, 2016 Author yea but I am trying to find one that effectively cools both the cpu and gpu without leaks or performance drops in the cpu or gpu. I have my eye on this, The Hunter Duet by Idcooling link - http://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id/56/name/HUNTER DUET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 19, 2016 Author So you guys should share my discussion with others because what I am going to do is review and test various watercooling solutions and then display and comment here.

Possible fix here: Spoiler Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link? Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.) Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly. -For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked. -For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components. -For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors. That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Posted September 19, 2016 Is watercooling a PSU really necessary? Based on what I know about transformers, and rectifiers, I am pretty sure the crap inside a PSU can hit 200C and still work.

Posted September 19, 2016 I take it you have or intend to put a waterblock on the GPU. So you are looking at either the expandable cpu block + pump combo or the pump + radiator combo. CPU block + pump combos - examples: Fractal Design - Kelvin Series T12, S24, S36 variants Alphacool - Eisbaer Solo or Eisbaer 120, 240 and 280 variants. Pump + radiator combo - examples: EK Predator 120, 140, 240, 280 and 360. Swiftech 220 After that it is finding the fit and finish that suits your build - dimensions and what not. ....and of course your wallet. The Fractal Design and Alphacool versions are cheaper - iirc. And don't forget that you need radiators that can handle the TDP of both CPU and GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
