Back for another bump from the grave. Still looking. Also would be super down for CAD files, as I live near enough laser cutters to get this made for myself :)

Lots of people have tested this before you. You should do more reading before you commit. You can start here. https://hardforum.com/threads/different-fans-either-side-of-radiator-disadvantages.1585700/#:~:text=Basically%2C%20air%20is%20being%20forced,burning%20out%20the%20motor%20sooner.

Holy hell. I'm mildly regretting ordering a Raystorm Neo now.

Its a cool idea, but it wont work like you think it will. Turbine effect will mean the stronger fan will do all the work, and the weaker fan will do nothing. You have to match your fans to see performance gains. Just mount your fans in push or push/pull, and then run sufficient exhaust to get...

So, radiators tend to perform differently depending on fan type, speed, push vs push/pull, etc. I've been using this roundup for years: https://www.xtremerigs.net/2015/02/11/radiator-round-2015/5/ The gist of it is, it shows you how each rad performs in watts, per fan speed and setup. For a...

You are literally your own worst enemy. You still are failing to take responsibility for your behavior. Saying that he's "butthurt" over YOUR shit behavior is more evidence that you are the problem. This would be a non issue if you had any manners.

I didn't win the ebay case, it went for double retail. I still want a tower 26 if somebody has one laying around.

Came here to say TechN. Their AM4 block aims the inlet at the cores, so it performs slightly better than optimus and heatkiller. Only issue is you HAVE to run the water inlet from the bottom of the block, don't have an option to invert it. Also the logo is a magnet, so you can take it off...

I'm not going to lie, I just bid on it. Whoever is holding has a really high strike price.

Bumparino. I see the one on ebay - but its not the color I want lol. Plus I'd rather do business with [h] friends.

I'm gonna bump this.

Figured this is the best place to post. I want another Dangerden case, and Moonlight mods have gone defunct. Anybody have a tower26 or the equivalent Q or black edition case laying around?

I understand that nickel is plating over copper. However, internet consensus and EK's own warranty states that putting silver in a loop with nickel will strip the plating. And they recommend using a coolant - not distilled water - for long life. Internet consensus supports this, as i've seen...

Hey folks, I have an idea here, tell me if i'm being to paranoid. I currently have a Dangerden monsoon reservoir with a silver plug in it, and all copper blocks, running distilled water. I'm looking at current production watercooling stuff, and most of it seems to be nickel and pure copper...

Your bend is too tight. Increase the length of tube for that connection in order to soften the bend.

Pro tip from another gamer in their 30's. Earth Defense Force 4.1 5 just came out, but they're still ironing it out.

I use a Monsoon Antimicrobial Silver Bullet Plug. Screws right into my reservoir.

Nidec Gentle Typhoons or Noctua A12's The GT's are super quiet for how fast they are, and the A12's are based on GT's but with a bunch of improvements like custom plastic, notched wings, etc. Ball bearings FTW

BFG didn't go under due to their sweet warranty and support. They went under because Best Buy, which made for something like 80% of their sales just dropped them out of nowhere. They even said it themselves in an interview when it happened.

I have an odd issue thats been popping up. I've had my e5649 running solid at 3.8ghz for a few years, but over the past 12 months or so i cant overclock it all. I tried for a tiny overclock of 150 bclk and locking the core voltage at 1.25v, it corrupts windows when i try to boot. Takes a solid...

Hey friends, I have myself a pickle here. I've been using masterkleer clear 7/16" ID 5/8 OD" tubing, friction fit over DD fatboy 1/2" barbs for years now and I want to rebuild. Problem is that nobody carries this tubing in clear anymore. I want to use this tubing as its worked fantastically...

I'd replace mine if they started making noise, but my scythe AP-15's are 5 years old running almost 24/7 and still silent. Ball bearing love

I'd put these spiffy modern fans on my 12 year old dangerden case.

Nobody is laughing that they're recommending that you strap their expensive fan to an existing fan on the webpage for "efficiency"? I'm dying. Oh god what a waste of time and money.

Preordered this badboy ages ago, immediately used the code to install the game. The chest is still in the box with the stickers, art, metal case, bobblehead, everything in the original packaging. The only part that was actually opened was the game case itself and the disk removed. You can have...

I'm late to the party. I have an e5649 on stock clock, R9-290 @ 1140mhz core (stock is 947), both under water with an alphacool nexxos UT-60 360mm with scythe-ap-15s and i run an average of 58C on the GPU. It mines 24/7, when the GPU goes above 60C, the room its in is SWEATY hot. Water...

I have a single alphacool UT60 360 cooling an overclocked xeon 5649 and a stock R9 290. Temps on both never go above 50C.

Yes. I'm using Monsoon MM-1000 speakers (lol vintage) and switching between my motherboard and my auzentech gives an audible difference. The biggest difference however, is that the sound card produces higher volumes Other changes include slightly less compression, slightly less background...

I like the machine cult flair ;) Also, those temps are great. Looks like we're right in the same range, except you have a ton more power haha. Love it

How does it perform temperature wise? I have a similar setup in a dangerden case with a single 290, 5649, and a single alphacool 360mm rad. I'm just probing whether or not a second card would be accessible to me with my rad. Also, love the 40k chaos theme. Your paint skills and colour selection...

Scythe GT's are better in every way, on paper, and in real world testing. I was eyeballing the Triebwerks a year or so ago and asked SonDa5. He steered me clear.

He only tested in series.

Go for the stack, but ensure you run the stacked rads in parallel. I know XSPC and Aquacomputer rads are good for that.

x58 doesn't handle ram overclocking well. Focus on overclocking the cpu and keeping it stable. The only reason you should need high clock ram is if your base clock is so high that it drives the ram frequency up through the low multiplier. Other than that, get a trio of 8 gig sticks. You'll...

Well, i was waiting for the XTR to come out in Canada before i bought one, but this review steered me to the XFX Black Edition instead. Thanks Paul and Kyle!

Func 1030xl Lowest friction I've EVER felt. Doesn't need aggressive cleaning either. From what I've owned, from most slippy to least slippy: Func > C4ngen04 > Steelseries SX > Corel draw 1993 > Steelseries QCK

Dude. The label claiming 1600mhz c9 is the overclocked tested rating and the installed XMP profile. NOT THE PLUG AND PLAY FUNCTIONALITY. Only Crucial and Kingston have plug and play functionality like what you're describing. Its been like this ever since Nehalem came out. 6 years now by my...

I'll let you know in a week or two when I finish the build. Just a few pieces left to paint.

Can we be best friends? :D

Hey guys, I have a case where my bay reservoir interferes with my current 22mm vandal switch. Even with the prongs bent to the side, it still sticks about 1/4 inch out the top of the case. Anybody know of shorter ones? Or should I just cut a new hole? Thanks
