    Water temp 2 pin sensor connection

    Excellent, thank you Haaammit and METEORIC. I'll look at both of those Aqua products (I'm not interested in Corsair's products).

    Water temp 2 pin sensor connection

    I was looking at one of those earlier, I may have to get one, I think most of the descriptions on these devices(?) aren't very good. So does it work through the pc/Windows via the motherboards USB header?

    Water temp 2 pin sensor connection

    Hi, does this plug onto an internal fan connector? 3 or 4 pin? Or does it need to be a specific temperature connector on the motherboard? I have an MSI b450 Tomahawk My basket at OcUK: 1 x Alphacool Temperature Sensor Square - Acetal (SKU: WC-0C9-AC) = £14.99 Total: £17.72 (includes...

    Please sanity check my watercooling plans

    the real dippy : what controller do you use? I'd be interested in setting up something like this so if Bios or Windows gets reset the cooling settings are kept the same.

    Please sanity check my watercooling plans

    I can't remember exactly. I like temps to be as low as possible so that's only reason I changed it. I think that may of been when I did the 5 volt pump mod so it could have been worsened by a slower flow rate. It makes sense though that the gpu block feeding the more sensitive cpu block is...

    Cheap and "cool" case

    Nice computer! I like that you've actually updated us, what, 6 years later? Haha. I've done the same as you and upgraded parts here and there, not just spent a fortune on an entirely new pc. I've just managed to buy an rx 6700 which replaced my water cooled rx 480 so I had to re-do water loop...

    Exactly how hard is it to water cool your CPU and GPU?

    I've been doing it a long time, constantly chopping and changing my loop as I've always been on a budget. Only ever used soft tubing (budget) with compression fittings and never had a leak, I don't leak test or anything. Just nip up the fittings by hand and make sure none come loose when you're...

    Please sanity check my watercooling plans

    I recommend Alphacool water blocks, my cpu block which I think is made out of nylon is still like new after a year or so at least. My EK didn't last though as that's made out of the common acrylic. Contrary to popular belief, loop order made a difference to me : the gpu into cpu gave higher cpu...

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    Looks like a 6700 it is then, thank you all

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    The one I've mentioned hasn't been mined on, I can't be certain of course but it seems the dodgy ones have multiple carsd for sale and don't have good feedback etc. And 6600 is 1% slower than 5700 xt and no water blocks for them. Im going to have a look around online when I'm back at home on my pc.

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    They've likely been either scalped or mined though? And a 5700 xt performs at least as good according to gpu benchmark. Also there's no water blocks for those.

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    Ah elsewhere, OK. I'll have a look around, I suppose I could watercool that in the future as there are waterblock for the 6700s too. I have a free sync monitor so need to stick with AMD really plus I've always leaned more in AMDs favour.

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    Putting them in price order, cheapest is 390 plus delivery. I'm really pushing it spending £361 on that water-cooled card with delivery. What about a used 5700 xt that isn't water-cooled, they're about £220, withthe intension of buying a waterblock in the future, spreading the cost out which...

    Upgrade advice pleeease rx 480

    Hi, what do you think of an rx 5700 xt with waterblock for £350? used of course and if I can get it delivered, currently not an option strangely.

    Watercooled Case Gallery

    The best pic I could get out of all the camera phones in the house. It took a long time to get to how it is now and I'm very happy with it, I just want to replace the too thick rad for a thin triple some day.

    AMD R5 3600 dying again?

    Well, it's been another week and not had a crash or freeze, I've even had my overclock on too. One tell tale sign would have been the "unstable over clock"; I was forever turning it down a notch at a time until I just took it off and then everything got worse from there. What I've learned is ...
