    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    The cpu block on the left isn't as full when running but the gpu block also isn't as bad now. Will get better pic later.

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    OK, thanks for the replies. Always appreciate them. The less metal I'm poking the pc with the better off u am. Managed get it filled up today but have a few problems with micro bubbles and some large air pockets in the CPU and GPU blocks. I think I may be running the pump a little bit too fast...

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    @therealdippy You know what, when I was test booting I was getting the red led, and out of sheer desperation I pushed all of the power connectors in and it turned out the cpu power connector wasn't fully pushed ... or something clicked. Bad news I've been called into work, next time i can get...

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    1st time, I just had a lot of faith in myself and really wanted to do it. I thought give myself some extra will power to see it through and focus. The worst run was the tiny 5in rad to distro, as I never had a 90 fitting and was trying to dead tight 90 with a small kink to get straight in. After...

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    I'm having a nightmare with my pressure test, because it gets so cold the air actually shrinks in the tubes. So last night I set it for a full night pressure test, and I know it drops a tiny bit, but this morning it had dropped by 0.25 bar. Little bit worried but again very cold night last...

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    Thanks for your replies people, I was getting a bit anxious with the build, I've only been able to work on it during the weekends and for a first time job, lets just say I took my time. 1 week one 45 degree fitting, next week two 90 fittings, next week an extra 500mm tubing I thought I needed...

    How do you trouble-shoot your build once complete

    So I'm very close to topping up my build and plugging everything in, but I have a massive worry that once it is set up and running, I know I'm going to run into some problems, I know it has to happen, I just can't get this lucky to have to it work first time. Everything worked on it's dry run...

    Changing CPU with Full Mobo waterblock

    I think I have the same one as yourself, for use on the X570-E board. As soon as i googled yours it shows the backplate used to attach, like I say I am still doing this as a dry run for a few days, especially till I can get this CPU problem solved for Warzone. If i have to swap CPU again i'm...

    Changing CPU with Full Mobo waterblock

    @im4gine3 Genius, thank you, Yes the 5800x sits about 40c at the moment and does sit at 70c while gaming, but i think this may be because it's sat right above a Toasty Boi (3080Ti). I forgot to even think about the screws just being on the top of the block so you always have access to them, and...

    Changing CPU with Full Mobo waterblock

    It's a full mobo block, so it will cover your vrms as well. Those are what are covered by the thermal pads and the CPU itself is thermal paste. I know you can buy thermal pads online but i literally have no idea what size or thickness i need at this time, I might move forward with some simple...

    Changing CPU with Full Mobo waterblock

    Unfortunately I went for hard tubing, but that would have been the best idea. Really I'm more worried that if I remove the block more than once I'll ruin the thermal pads.

    Changing CPU with Full Mobo waterblock

    So I've been having problems with new CPU's running pretty warm and all of the online searches reveals that surprise to me I did not know that all 5000 series CPU's run hot, not just warm, but 80-90c hot and that was only the 5800x, i had a 3950x that i stressed tested on cinebench to 95c, but I...

    Ryzen 5800 XT Temps

    I'm having a nightmare with cpu's at the moment. Got a 3950x and thought it was too hot for my system, so swapped for a 5800xt, and this thing is burning up. Not sure if it's to do with proximity to gpu, might try a smaller one. Of if I had a bad installation, maybe I'll try to reseat the cpu...

    Lian Li G1 distro plate mounts

    So I'm literally in the first phase of water cooling in the O11 dynamic as well, and I had a problem with the front distro plate actually takes up a bit of space that the side fans would need to be securely fastened to the case, you have the void in the side of the case where either fans of your...

    What 4K, 120hz+, 30”+ options are coming?

    Don't go any bigger than 40in if your sitting your monitor on your desk. I made that mistake after using a 40in regular 4k led TV as a monitor. Worked fine for years, then I upgraded to a 55in oled. Now I can't surf the Web and have related it to being put on the wall above a new monitor I have...

    AMD vs Intel. Gaming top dog?

    Christ I remember when there was only A rated appliances. The thing is we're trying to curb energy usage now, but there are so many ways to create energy they just need to invest in them, plus fusion will come into fruition sooner or later. We had the same issue 30 years ago with high energy...

    PCIe-4 riser cable compatible with PCIe-3 Slot?

    I'm sure there's an option in the bios that let's you change what gen pci-e works at. It may just be that you need to change this. Or again it could be a bad connection. Saying that I just bought a riser cable x4 and pretty sure it's only plugged into x3 slot. Strangest thing happened to me is...

    PC not booting…failed hardware?

    He mentioned that he went away on holiday and booted up for the first time and that's when the problem occurred. I thought it could have been a power surge but i don't know.
