water cooling

For my new build I chose the Corsair H115i as my cooler of choice. I've been happy with it, despite some trouble with a loose backplate during installation on my MSI gaming pro carbon. This is a known problem with some people saying to use washers for the backplate and others saying to just...

We have our next Threadripper waterblock in for the testing! This one from Phanteks and is the model C399A, and it is a fine looking piece of watercooling equipment.

A while ago I installed an EKWB kit from Microcenter, it has been great. The 1080ti I have is an EVGA FTW3, the air cooling works very well on it, but can be a bit loud and isn't nearly as cool as running a watercooled card so I bought a block for it. Keep in mind a few things before reading...

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...

So I helped a friend out with an OC on a i7-7820x, and he was so happy to be at 5.0 stable with temps under 75 in prime95, that he gave me his old H110i GTX. This cooler has the Asetek pump/block. The issues I am having are that most of the time it will idle at 27°-32° and some times the temps...

Hey guys, I already have a NCASE M1 and was running it as my gaming rig. Had some i5 CPU and a Titan X in there with a custom water loop and 2x 240mm radiators. I remember things getting too hot in there for my taste even after installing the second radiator. At the moment I am running 1080 SLI...

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...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my mod/build in the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. I'm actually parting out this system but it was a great project and Phanteks cases are so easy to work in and water cool in. There are a couple mods to this case. First off, I modded the top radiator bracket so...

Air cooling AMD's Ryzen? Screw that! Well OK, we are going to do that too, but we figured we would start with the fun stuff since most others would start with what AMD handed them. I spent some quality time here this week with the drill press. Thankfully the Thermalright True Spirit 140...

Hey guys. I'm new here and I came looking for some advice. If you could help that'd be amazing. So I built my first computer build in January. It was a big undertaking for me, and it came after a period where I was going through a rough time so it meant a lot for me that i could do something...

So I'm looking to build a water cooled rig, but I want to protect the components from a possible leak, and it dawned on me that it might be possible to mount the motherboard facing down (hanging, but with a retention beam for GPU/add in cards). If there is a leak anywhere, it would probably...

Hello! Water cooling newb here. I've built my last 3 PCs, and even upgraded my current build a few times during it's 5 year lifespan. However, I've never tried my hand at water cooling. Well, I bought one of those all-in-one closed loop things, but that doesn't really count, does it...

So I'm thinking about eventually putting together a loop using brass tubing and compression fittings (with ferrules), but being in the US, it's not exactly easy for someone not in the know to find 1/4" BSPP compression fittings that don't cost $8+ a piece. What are your recommendations for...

*NO LONGER AVAILABLE* I am selling my water cooling parts as I'm moving and it would be a waste to have them sit and collect dust, and too expensive to ship. I've had these parts about two years and I used them to cool my 4770k - 4.6GHz 1.35v with max temps in the 70s. I cleaned and rinsed the...
