There's no username in the pic?
I've fitted a waterblock. I'll add some pictures laterHave you done a repaste?
Any pictures of your findings
I've fitted a waterblock. I'll add some pictures later
I was umming and ahhhing, and then OCUK had something like £30 off the main block and £20 off the active backplate. Still worked out about £300 with all my fittings (I already had 2 rads, a CPU block and a few pumps) but I am not mining in the living room with the PC near enough silent, temps peaking at 88°C (The EK pads are supposed to be rubbish so I will probably swap them out, 3 W/mK for the EK vs 12 W/mK for something like Gelid)That's interesting, as I've just been looking at what's involved with moving to a water cooling setup. Looks expensive tho
I'm wondering if it's worth while having a water cooling circuit for just the GPU. Which is where I need cooling the most. The GPU does all the heavy lifting, not the CPU.
I currently have an aio cooling the cpu, and in all honesty that works fine as the cpu doesn't get that stressed.
I might price a few things up and see what it comes to, but the ek FE block isn't cheap, especially when adding backplate cooling!
This is what my stock die looked like
Now that it's repasted and I can compare, I have to say it did a pretty good job, although it was hard flaky crap.
