    PSU Wiring Question?

    Actually I tried the shrink-less method when I was 25 percent complete using the regular method and I now prefer it shrink-less! These Seasonic connector are strong, a few were in so tight I had to rip the wire out. No biggy though I have plenty of MDPC-X crimping tool and all the replacement...

    PSU Wiring Question?

    Hi everyone, I'm currently sleeving my SeaSonic X-1250 Series PSU and am using MDPC-X sleeving, I want all or the wires even and strait. You are looking at a 12-pin CPU connector where all of the ground wires plug-in and there are 3 ground wires, can I remove and uncross the three ground...

    OMG what did EK do?

    RealRedRaider even had microscopic pictures of actual copper exposed through the nickel plating.

    OMG what did EK do?

    The issue is more than just nickel plating, it's Eddy and the way in which he chooses to do business.

    How much radiator do I need?

    I believe in having more radiator than I currently need, it's better to need more radiator and have it than need it and not have it! I also like very low deltas, the thing that sold my on the HWLabs radiators the second time through is the incredible quality, lower restriction and the...

    How much radiator do I need?

    I wouldn't advise having two GTX radiators in the same loop, that is why I just purchased two SR1 radiators for silence and better flow rates along with the increased surface area of the SR1 140mm radiator.

    How much radiator do I need?

    I'm not a fan of those D5 pump, I like the DDC pumps, I already have a Laing DDC 3.25 with EK V2 pump top. I figured that I might need more pumping power using an SR1 560 linked to an SR1 360 with one HF Supreme HF and at least two VGA blocks.

    How much radiator do I need?

    I have been do an enormous amount of research on these Laing DDC type pumps, what I have found out through Martins Liquid Lab is that these pump run hotter with high flow loops and cooler with slightly more restrictive loops. Imagine revving your engine at 5000rpms while in neutral with little...

    How much radiator do I need?

    I guess I was a little freaked out by the heat that this radiator is capable of removing from the water, being a first time water cooler I didn't know what to expect as what is acceptable. Then on top of that my nickle plating started chipping away (just very tiny flakes) so I was seriously...

    How much radiator do I need?

    After reading many forum on the plating issue it's kind of a let down, they can earn their reputation back by starting to machine the mounting standoffs instead of using those cheap azz plastic standoffs! Funny that Danger Den never had any of the plating problems with their nickle plating or...

    How much radiator do I need?

    My graphics card temps and CPU temps were mentioned in post #19, DAMN IT! Well it seems as if my nickle plating is GONE and all I can see now is copper!! :mad: I won't bother fixing my EK water block until I install my Sandy Bridge E CPU, as of right now is it safe to use distilled water with...

    How much radiator do I need?

    When the GTX 480 radiator was toasty, I mean the hot air coming from the radiator was hot if I put my arm right above my GT's blowing upwards almost felt like a portable heater! My nickle plating on my EK-FC480 GTX had this black stuff that burned into the nickle plating! My EK Supreme HF had no...

    How much radiator do I need?

    That has been my experience as well, when I first flushed my GTX480 radiator with warm-hot water it came out as clean as it went in. I have also heard and from my experience the HWLab's are more restrictive than most, so linking rads wouldn't be the best option. Dan at Danger Den told me that...

    How much radiator do I need?

    I have also been doing a lot of research and some have said that the HWLab's radiators have a smaller radiator core than say an XSPC or Themochill , is this true and if so how does this effect temperatures?

    How much radiator do I need?

    Some interesting options, I forgot to mention for over a year I have been running a HWLab's GTX480 radiator and with my E6600 (OC 3.2gHz) and GTX 480 (OC 880MHz/4200MHz) I have seen temps rise to toasty levels using OCCT and EVGA OC Scanner, feeling some serious heat coming from the top of my...
