Yeah, I like his channel, I watch pretty much everything he does

Paul's Hardware just did a build in the P3 TG here Looks like a nice piece of kit

Lovely build. As someone who's been running the EK O11 Distro with a bottom EK rad, I think you're missing a trick on your drain port: Have a look at putting one of the push drain valves in the side port on your lower rad, then you can have a short length of tubing to connect to that as a drain...

I don't know how useful this would be because it's not the exact same model, but... I'm typing this on an HP EliteBook G3 right now. It was provided to me by my work, 3-4 years ago, and it's a cracking piece of kit. To the point where if I were paying my own money for a "business" laptop, it's...

I think you're over-spending on the power supply. You don't need ATX 3.0 or PCIe 5.0 for that system, and (although I don't know the power draw of a 1070) I'm guessing you're not using much more than 350W in that system. The Corsair SF-L Series SF850L PSU is £30 cheaper and still way...

I did the -30 offset. Temps down 10 degrees, it boosts to 4400MHz and holds there.

Thanks. I haven't spent much time on it yet. Will have a play over the weekend though

I went ahead with this, so I'm now running a 5800X3D. It's a big step from the 3700X. Approx 50% better according the Cinebench, but also I've noticed that some stuttering in games is gone. I've been playing with the voltage to bring temps down. Running at 73C with a -0.06375V offset. I'll do...

I'm mulling this exact upgrade at the minute, although with a 4080 I think I might be even more CPU bottlenecked than you. Glad to hear you noticed a difference. That's useful info, thank you.

All this is my opinion, not fact, so treat accordingly! There's no point doing a custom loop just to cool the CPU, you may as well use an AIO. Gotta get in on that GPU love! As others have said, start with soft tubing. It's pretty easy to work with, especially if you use a hairdryer to warm...

I have an old Antec full tower case. It's a bit bashed up, so I don't think I'd be able to sell it. It's functioning quite well as a shelf currently. I'll take it for recycling the next time I reorganise my office

You've ended up with a lovely build here, well done. Love the Corsair tubing, and that's a really nice blue colour.

Wow what a build. And thanks for the recommendation on the rubber roof kit - will be just the job for my actual shed

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Sounds like I have a weekend project ahead of me :)

Hi folks, I'm after a bit of advice, please. I have a 2080ti in my system with a Ryzen 3700X. It's watercooled (CPU & GPU) with 2x 360 rads. Water temp is 33-35C, with CPU temp never getting higher than 65C, after a long time under load. I'm using Aida64 for monitoring, so I have a good amount...

No, that theory has been fairly disproven. The water temperature stabilises across the loop, and reordering components doesn't produce a difference in component temps beyond what you could attribute to run-to-run variance (source) OP, Do you have a sensor for your fluid temp? From what I can...

My daughter is a student using a 13" MacBook. She's asked for me to source an external display as she'd like the additional screen area (I've taught her well :) ). When she's home she uses, as a TV, an old Samsung 32" LCD telly which is, to be fair, borked. I'm wondering if I can combine these...

Gamers' Nexus coasters too. I have those as well

Looking awesome. The RGB strips you've fitted work so well, they look factory! Also (and I realise this is incorrigibly nerdy of me) I love those 90 degree fittings you have on the GPU, they're really cool

Looking awesome. I really like the way you've mounted the QR hardware on the case feet
