So,
I read about this video card over at TheFPSReview.
I hadn't planned on going AMD this generation, but through some miracle of fortune this one was in stock at AIB MSRP of $1,799 over at Newegg, so after a few seconds of hesitation I bit.
I had really wanted to go with a 3090 or 3080ti...
For sale is my trusty Pascal Titan X with fullcover EK Water block (nickel plated copper, black acetal) and EK backplate
This GPU was originally seen in this build thread, and later in my latest build thread.
The GPU is in both cosmetically and functionally great shape.
Some details about the...
EDIT:
I wanted to make it excruciatingly clear that Noctua fixed my issue. They explained the problem, and offered to swap out all 18 of my fans. See more details here. Good job Noctua in addressing the issue head on, solving it, and winning a customer for life.

I've had a bottle of EK-Ekoolant Blood RED for a few years, I bought it on 2014 to change the liquid from a Corsair H-series AIO, I only used a little and then closed the bottle and it has been stored since then. It has a date on top: 02-2013, and it also says: 2 years shelf lifetime.
Does it...

Selling my fully EK waterblocked Titan X (Pascal) card as I recently upgraded to a 2080Ti for waaaay too much for a somewhat marginal performance bump. Oh well, toys! :D
No joke, this Titan X's performance is stellar. It delivers a 3DMark score that's roughly 10% shy of what a...
EK, a once heralded name in the enthusiast water cool world, has come under a lot of fire in the recent years for shoddy build quality, and even we have put the spotlight on some of its underperforming and overpriced cooling components. To its credit, it did apologize for that product, and gave...
Title Correction: This is the L240 Kit, not the A240.
I've had this laying around for awhile now but I know that I will never get to installing it again and would rather it go to a new home. It was in an old computer for a couple of months before I moved to a new case and put this aside. Comes...
I've moved this post from the Watercooling sub for visibility's sake.
Guys, I've got a big problem. My 7700K is relidded, having used superglue on the IHS edges as suggested by the maker of Rockit88's delid tool. The result is a lower Z-height on the IHS, and as a result, smaller gap between...
Manufacturer of custom watercooling equipment EK issued an apology yesterday for it's AMD Threadripper waterblocks. The EK-Supremacy EVO Threadripper Edition CPU water blocks were "not up to EK standards so action had to be taken." EK has come up with a new cold plate for Threadripper...
Surely we here at HardOCP have gotten to learn a few things about EK the company and its Threadripper Supremacy EVO waterblock in the past couple of months. Its waterblock's performance is far from "the best" as is described on its website, and its PR people have even pushed back against at...
EK Supremacy EVO Threadripper TR4 Waterblock Review
EK is one of the most heralded names in the enthusiast computer cooling industry. It has been building waterblocks for custom CPU cooling since 2003. It has now thrown its hat into the AMD Threadripper waterblock ring. Does the Supremacy EVO...
We just got our EK EVO Threadripper waterblock in for testing, but before we started all that, since we bought it used in the HardForum, we wanted to make sure the inside was clean of debris. While we have it broken down to check it out, we noticed that the microfin pattern looks incredible...
EDIT: radiator sold elsewhere
EDIT: 2 monoblock sold
Selling an EK Asus X99 Monoblock
Monoblock comes in original packaging with original accessories and used thermal pad. Should work fine but may want to order a replacement pad on ebay. Supports most of the Asus X99 motherboards as you can...
I will leave this open until shipping returns to FL (sorry no shipping to FL or GA) then I can return the system I have a RMA on. UPS and Fedex are not yet open in FL. If anyone want to buy the entire kit for $425 (paypal) shipped I will cancel my RMA.

Finally my Ryzen parts have arrived, so i could construct the loop from EK a240g.
Thoughts:
1) Disassembling 1080 Ti is a pita. Had to use pliers to remove the screws under the backplate - those are very very tiny hexagonal screws, and it's very easy to kill PCB while taking them off
2) h440...
I'm considering a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard, and I see EK makes a monoblock for it. My CPU is already under an XSPC Raystorm, which seems to function alright, and I wouldn't mind reusing it. But, as long as one is available for the mobo I'm looking at, I thought I'd ask.
What's the practical...
So I just finished this mITX build in the NCASE M1. I'm very satisfied with the results and the PC works great. The idea sprung from seeing Bluehandstech's M1 build, I instantly knew I had to get this case and watercool it. I decided early on that I was to use hardline tubing only, and with...
The 1080 has been sold and now the block needs to go, too.
