    Trying to saturate the loop fully

    So my last build was a very basic soft tubing build and I had no problems saturating the loop to the point where the water looked static, the cpu block was completely filled up etc, all air bubbles eliminated, however, with this distro plate I am having trouble completely filling the loop...

    Asus X99 mobos and nothing but grief on POST with waterblocks.

    So, I'm looking for some general thoughts here. I've used 4 different CPUs historically and 2 different motherboards and I have the same problems across all of them. When I try to boot, the POST will hang on bF 3 times and then shut down. Or, if I use the memtest button, I can get a post but...

    WTB: 6950x CPU

    Hi there, looking for a 6950x cpu, not really looking to spend more than $400 on one of these. I get that pricing is due to low supply, but frankly there isn't much reason to overpay when I could pay the same or less(of avg 6950x price on ebay) for 2066 10-core CPU. It's more of a convenience...

    Any idea when we'll see Seasonic Connect come to market?

    I was excited to see this, seasonic connect, being a step in the direction of reducing cable clutter (to an extent), but unfortunately we haven't gotten any news from it since it was shown at Computex in 2019. Anyone in the loop have any word on if this product will ever become commercially...

    What type / material of sleeving is this and where can I buy it?

    To me, it looks like either paracord or some sort of nylon fabric/weave. However whenever I search for nylon I just get the plastic looking stuff and I'm not coming up with any paracord sleeving. Ex 1: https://i.redd.it/gzmmdzrz5i701.jpg I know that it's definitely out there, as someone was...

    Can't seem to get a consistent post when I mount my AIO block.

    I've got an ASUS Rampage V Edition 10 motherboard, 5820k, and an NZXT X72 AIO. X99 has always been quirky for me since I moved to this board. I also have a random X99 Designare mobo that I was testing and using for a while just because I found it at microcenter for super cheap, and it basically...

    Is there anyone who is willing to fabricate custom work for a Corsair 800D?

    I'm looking for some kind of nicely done, professional looking cover or shroud that can go over the bottom PSU area along the entire length or at least cover up the PSU area.

    Can anyone with a Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 measure the side panel window?

    I have an R4 /w window, that is scratched, and getting either a panel or window replacement is basically next to impossible. The only thing I was able to find is the similarly looking Arc Mini R2 windowed side panel on puget-systems, however, I don't think the panel would fit. However, the...

    Upgraded CPU in M6600, GPU usage randomly drops to 0% now. AC Adapter the culprit?

    I recently purchased a Precision M6600 that included the dual core i7 2620M and the FirePro M8900. When I game, I run throttlestop to make sure that the CPU is running at its nominal/turbo and not getting stuck in speedstep frequencies. When I had just the 2620M, gaming was fine for many...

    Should I re-paste the GPU in my Dell Precision M6600?

    Hey guys, just got a M6600 with the FirePro M8900. I installed the Catalyst drivers to get it recognized as the 6970M and all is fine. Overclocked to 800/1100 no issues. Just wondering though, when playing FFXIV @ 1080p my GPU temp sits at a steady 79-82c and fluctuates around those values...

    LG 29" Ultrawide freezing problem, is it the monitor?

    Beware when buying expensive open box video cards from newegg. Shady dealings!

    Preface: you should always take past ownership into consideration when buying anything open box, e.g. potential abuse, overclocking, physical altercations, etc. This is a given. What I am going to advise against is a totally different situation. I recently bought an ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC...

    Can anyone suggest a high end air cooler that's less than 140mm wide?

    I have a motherboard where the socket placement was simply not that smart from the manufacturer(MSI Z87M Gaming)and as such it makes dealing with video cards incredibly frustrating with monster CPU air coolers. If at all possible I'd like to see if there is anything comparable in performance to...

    Need an idea for mounting offsets in mini ITX case after mod.

    Hello all, I have been cutting into my bitfenix prodigy to allow for a 3 slot GPU. Because of this the motherboard will have to be pushed over which I made the necessary cuts for. However, this also means that the mounting holes on a mini ITX board will not line up with the stand offs that...

    Hooking up SATA drives to SAS controller.

    I'm looking into buying a refurb HP ProLiant server off ebay and I notice a lot of them include HP Smart Array E200/128 Controller, which according to pics has 2 ports for SAS.
