    Why delid then re-lid?

    International shipping = 5€ & VAT excluded, so a grand total of about 10 bucks. Using Paypal is hard? Do you Trumpsters still insist on using cheques or are squirrel skins still preferred because that's the founding fathers traded in. ABS plastic is printed at ~250°C, so a watercooled core...

    Why delid then re-lid?

    Cheers for the article, but why didn't he just buy a 7€ shim instead of fiddling about with tape while complaining about a difficult mate? 3D models for delidding tools exist, but no shims?

    Why delid then re-lid?

    Wouldn't it be relatively simple to 3D print a shim so that crushing the core is almost impossible?

    Why delid then re-lid?

    There's a lot of temperature benefits to be had in swapping better heat goop in Intel's processors, but why does almost everyone then proceed to re-attach the IHS back? If you're going to the trouble of delidding, why not carefully attach the heatsink / waterblock directly onto the core...

    Which 420 radiator: Aquacomputer, HWLabs, or Alphacool?

    I'm designing & building the case from scratch and decided to go for 140mm fans + 420 radiator as they fit just so with the rest of the components and provide a tad more cooling capacity than I'll actually need. I'm also making a shroud to provide ~5cm of space between the radiator & ducted fans...

    Which 420 radiator: Aquacomputer, HWLabs, or Alphacool?

    These are the fans I'll be using. 140mm because my case is designed to fit three 140mm fans & because they move more air quieter than 120mm ones.

    Which 420 radiator: Aquacomputer, HWLabs, or Alphacool?

    I'm putting together a new rig with a 4790K & two GTX 770s in SLI, cooled via a 420mm radiator with three Noctua IndustrialPPC PWM fans. I intend to configure the fans so they run at around ~800RPM when the PC is idling and ramp up to 1500-2000RPM under the slightest load to keep the water cool...

    Please critique my Devil's Canyon case plan

    As I have time before Devil's Canyon chips are released I'm planning my new rig thoroughly. I'm reusing a Thermochill PA140.3 radiator and a HDD waterblock from my current setup and building the case out of plywood around these two components. I'll Dremel an ATX motherboard tray from an olde...

    Critique my Devil's Canyon plan

    Thanks for the pointers. That HDD block enables me to easily and cleanly mount two drives and not worry about cooling at all. It's not absolutely necessary, but I already have it so I might as reuse it in my new build. Why would a pump need airflow? It has coolant running through it...

    Critique my Devil's Canyon plan

    I'm planning on stripping my five-year-old watercooled rig of its Thermochill PA140.3 radiator & Aquacomputer HDD waterblock, then buying the following: CPU: Devil's Canyon i5-4690K CPU waterblock: EK Supreme Acetal GPU: Intel integrated, eventually single nVidia 8XX Mobo: Asus Gene VII...
