This isn’t a warranty question btw. He’ll just be buying a new card or replacement cooler. Just interested in opinions or experiences anyone has had like this in the past. I am just totally flummoxed on how this can happen.

Had a mate over to replace the thermal pads and repast his 3090 FE as he said it was running really hot. Got to the heat plate of the cooler and found this. Copper showing through the plating and after re-pasting / re-padding it’s still running hot. No change. Used mx5 + thermalright odyssey...

I usually have the free delivery option but it isn't showing. Trying to order EK Water Blocks EK-CryoFuel Clear 1L Premix Watercooling Fluid - 1 Litre but only showing £8.70 DPD. Would that normally qualify ?

Thanks. That's good to know. Sounds like you had a good experience end to end. I am hoping they won't write off my monitor and actually repair it as I've spent the last few hours looking at what else is available and everything falls short. Same scenario here to begin with, UPS have already...

https://streamable.com/4gma1h Started yesterday, display disappears after a few seconds and doesn't return until cycling multiple resets or waiting for a few hours. I'm guessing my monitor is toast and probably down to something small like a voided solder joint or faulty cap. I've heard Acer...

what pump and what speed is it running at ?

ah handy yer might look into one myself, wasn't aware ek did one while building my own

yer don't use deionised it'll probably start stripping metals to restore its ph distilled is fine, it's just purified water via condensation

eh.

btw I see your convo on the drain port and adding it to the drain port at the bottom of the distro plate. depending on the drain valve / port you buy and if you intend to attach it directly onto the distro plate at the rear, you may need to remove the pump body first as the handle of the drain...

yer pretty much I find running my pump faster than its near slowest speed will result in temps rising so experimentation needed. There is quite a bit difference between the 3.1 and 3.2 If you have some means of monitoring the temp of the pump this will help. I use a commander pro with a thermal...

Lol I have almost all these parts in my wc build Note about the distroplate. There are versions with DDC 3.1 and DDC 3.2 pumps. I couldn't get a 3.2 version locally so ended up buying the 3.1 version and upgrading the pump + pump housing to a heatsink with PWM fan due to the history of DDCs...

I would say yes but don't trust the recommended psi/bar markings on the dial. I generally set the pressure to 0.4bar and leave for 15-20min. If it'll hold air at that pressure it certainly isn't going to leak water. On a side note though, these pressure testers aren't a replacement for doing...

And this, yes if there's no improvement I'll be shoehorning another 360 into my case. I've got a rough plan in mind but I'll see how these new rads play out first.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have had a look through the suggestions. SR1's look good but going to be a bit tight for my case, SC2's also unfortunately Fans I totally agree but I love the look of the LL/QL120's at the moment. Totally agree with needing more data from the charts, didn't...

@wildest_jjk sorry mate I missed the notification for this. I'd sold the monitor by the night. I'm cursed to use an ultrawide till the end of time it appears. Just can't move away from them. Never even got around to using the software.

Prefixing this with "I'm not a colour/monitor expert" Some further thoughts after a short amount of usage (work / gaming). Overall great but not good for my circumstances rather than a fault of the monitor. I was predicting these issues may have cropped up due as I'm a software engineer and...

here's some images peeps first impressions well packed cables look of good build quality (most interested in the hdmi 2.1 cable as I'm going from a cable matters usb-c to hdmi adapter from my m1 mac, pc 3090 is going on displayport) stand is fine, not too over the top, personal taste I guess...
