    Used Watercooling

    A single Quad 140mm, but I sometimes use a single Quad 120mm. Soon I want to switch to Two Dual 120mm radiators and move the radiators inside a case. That Quad Radiator is being held up by a Koolance Radiator quick disconnect system, but they only made it for 120mm radiators, so I modified it...

    I was able to avoid tight turns by going from Pump output -> Underneath video card input flow -> video card top output flow -> Radiator in -> Radiator Out -> CPU in -> CPU out -> Pump in I used to go from Pump output -> CPU input -> CPU output -> GPU input (this is usually where the sharp bend...

    Used Watercooling

    In terms of used water cooling parts, a rotary joint is a part that I do not know how to service and I would avoid used rotaries.

    It was a Bitspower rotary that leaked.

    Used Watercooling

    One more thing, I would avoid rotary fittings. I've seen brand new ones leak during a leak test. They would have caused a huge catastrophe if I didn't run a leak test. It was one of these that rotate right at the split line in the middle. Avoid using these if possible.

    Koolance LIQ-702CL-05L Clear Coolant 5 Liters for $74.95

    I use this stuff. My 2080ti water block corrodes and I replace some distilled water with this stuff to neutralize the pH so the green corrosion stops building up. I use EK Cyrofuel which prevents my QD's from seizing, but then a second problem came from the EK 2080ti water block so the Koolance...

    Used Watercooling

    A good way to refurbish used water cooling gear is to buy new o-ring seals for them. I build custom water cooling PC's for a friend of mine and he hands me down all his old rads / pumps / blocks. Sometimes a new o-ring wasn't really needed, but I replace them anyway. MCP 35X2 pumps have...

    It's just I'm not supposed to take nsaids anymore, so alternatives have some appeal. Also many painkillers kind of don't work for me, when I was in the hospital they pumped me full of morphine and were like, "How are you still conscious?"

    I'll probably go for this if its still available in another 10 days or so... there's an app that allows me to use an old android phone as a touchscreen to work with 3d printers. I originally planned to use the Surface 2 tablet for this, but Microsoft completely abandoned support for the Surface 2.

    Warning: EVGA has changed their pinout on some PSUs

    This was during 2020 - 2021, around the height of the supply chain disruption. So I'm sure that had some influence on the situation. But yes, it was a pretty shit response from Corsair to only provide a Grade B Unit.

    Warning: EVGA has changed their pinout on some PSUs

    My friend got that "99% efficient" gallium nitride capacitor Corsair PSU. He bought 2 of them. One of them was defective. When he contacted Corsair, they said they could either send him a "Grade B unit" as a replacement, or give him $ for credit towards his next Corsair purchase (but not a full...

    Warning: EVGA has changed their pinout on some PSUs

    Please standardize the PSU cable pin layout for fk's sake... I think Corsair also swapped the pin layout on their modular PSU's a while back, and an older generation cable would fit on a newer generation and would basically fry your hardware.

    In terms of teaching them to not use any data, my brother gave his kids a jitterbug type of phone. It just has a numerical keypad and basically is a "dumb phone" for the most part.
