radiator

Is a single 560mm X 44mm radiator with FPI of 18 in push config an efficient cooling solution for 7950X + 4080 and gaming in summer? I am not certain if the rule of thumb works with modern hardware's power draw. I can't settle on a way of thinking about it: 1. The standard practice seems to be...

Hi everyone, I just bought 2 new 120mm fans for my pc as I was going to create a push pull configuration for my 240mm radiator. However I wanted to check with you guys on here that my fans in the optimal positions. I currently have 2 front intake fans that push air though my radiator into my pc...

I'm hoping there are people in the know here. My home has 2 thermostats. Living room controls the while house including upstairs with the exception of the main bedroom. Main bedroom thermostat controls only main bedroom. Now the radiators in the living room and bedroom do not have TRVs as...

hey gang, hope everything's treating you well. am doing my first solo build in close to 20 years, so I feel like I'm learning how to ride a bike all over again haha. I wanna get the Corsair ICUE H150i Elite Capellix cpu cooler, as it looks awesome and I want it to match up with the other RGB...

Hey I’ve got a bathroom radiator that never gets that hot, I’ve ensured it’s bled etc. What I want to do is to turn the lock shield side up a little, as I think it might be closed. Looking at the radiator, it’s not your standard turntable lockshield... any ideas how this would be adjusted?

Hi everyone, I'm currently building my first gaming PC from scratch, everything was going well until I noticed that on the radiator of my AIO cooler there were a few bent fins. Whilst I'm not that concerned about these fins in particular as I'm sure I can bend them back into shape, my main...

Hi Guys Just done my first build for a few years as an upgrade from an FX8350 Ive built a 10900k System with a h150i for cooling but just want to check my temps as i cant seems to get any solid data anywhere but think they may be a little high At Idle it will sit around low 30's , When i Run...

I'm in the market to purchase a 480mm long 60mm thick radiator and there's quite a few models. I was thinking about getting the EX 480 by EK because I've got a lot of EK stuff and not really had issues with their products. But I did some looking around and I did find some quite exotic looking...

Hey guys, Looking to upgrade my loop and system in time for Zen 3 with RTX 3080 / 3090 (undecided) and dual loop - I'm going full enthusiast as much as I can this time round, so saving money isnt a priority but I dont want to overspend where I dont have to. I had my heart set on buying 2x XSPC...

Question: In a stable system, of say idle temps of 20 over room temp. Which would yield a better decrease in temp : A bigger radiator with an extra fan, or a better pump with a increase flow rate. i.e. if F(Flowrate) +R(Radsize) = D(delta over room) would D be greater in : (F+1) + R = D...

Hi all, My current setup in a P350X case is a front mounted 240mm radiator with 2x Blacknoise PL-PS fans pushing air through. I have an Akasa AK-FN059 as the rear exhaust set to 800RPM so it is silent and the stock Phanteks fan as a top exhaust also around 700RPM. I was wondering since I have...

I bought all the parts for my first ever custom loop this time last year. After putting it altogether outside of the PC, to satisfy myself that there were no leaks, I never did any more with it due to a back problem. I'm now hoping to put it all together, bit by bit if my back allows! I am a...

Hi all, Was trying to decide between the above and the Fractal D S2, but i don't really need the space these days, downsizing from a Corsair 750d. I've got a EVGA 1080ti FTW3, which i was going to move over to the new system, but i'm concerned about front rad support. Had planned to go for an...

Hi All I know that the GTS is considered the benchmark for rads, does anyone know how the new V.2 NexXxoS compare? I've not been able to find a direct comparison anywhere. I am going to be using 2x with Vadar EVO (700-1150rpm) for a single gpu + cpu with D5 custom loop Thanks G

Hello my fellow coolers! Just got the Alphacool Extreme cooler https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alphacool-eisbaer-extreme-280mm-black-edition-liquid-aio-cpu-cooler-wc-09s-ac.html and well I miss calculated the space in my case (Damn hidden edges) Would you have any recommendations for a case...

Hi all, I've recently bought 2 x 480mm radiators for my water cooled PC, but as the rads are multiports the top 2 ports are fouling the bracket that holds the rads (pics below). For now whilst trying to find the best option for fitting I've used 2 slightly longer screws at the front nearest...

Hi all, I'm tempted by the BeQuiet Silent Loop 360mm cooler and wondering if you think it's worth the extra over small sizes to cool an overclocked 8700K.

I've run an overclocked i7 4930K for some years, not for gaming but fast rendering and editing of large HD video movie files. I use a Laing D5 vario pump, copper water blocks on the cpu,gpu and memory cards, with a triple fan radiator. I have a 51/4" perspex drive bay reservoir in the loop with...

Hi Guys, I am about to start building my 8700k/1080ti rig but I'm currently waiting for the asus formula mobo to come out. This will be my first custom loop build and I want to make sure it is easily capable of handling all the hardware and overclocks. For a bit of context I intend to cool...
