water cooling

So I am wanting to do a new water build. This has been a long term plan but I now have the money to do so. I don't often upgrade a pc the last one is 7 years old as I do Laptop Upgrades in between. My main question is on Three things. The first is how hard it hardline tubing to work with. My...

Hi guys, new to the forum and watercooling! Just built my first water cooled rig, pretty impressed with myself to be honest! Didn't think it would come out as clean as it did! Only made 1 mistake with PETG tubing too. So I installed everything and started to fill the Corsair XD5 pump/res...

2 Intel builds, one featuring 10900k (personal rig) and the other with 7980xe (partner's workstation). I'll begin with a quick intro explaining how I have ended up with those configs. I am just a poor student, that enjoys trading pc parts. I have built my first own pc with the money I saved up...

Just a little background - I've wanted to do a water cooled build for years and am finally ready to actually go ahead. My reasons for wanting to do it aren't to do with aesthetics but instead for low noise and because, well, it's cool. I don't intend to overclock anything. I've just a couple of...

Hi all, Firstly, really appreciate the forum, reading all the posts here I plucked up the courage to try my luck at my first custom loop! The issue I'm facing is, I've built the loop (it's a mess I know lol), there aren't any apparent leaks but the water isn't being pumped around the loop. I...

Hi, Looking to get a deal and save some pennies then why not check out the clearance section on our website or just click here. As part of a forum deal I'm looking to open up my b-grade sections to offers. A lot of prices are reduced heavily already so if I can't match the offer I will...

Hey! i was going to upgrade my Gaming X Trio 2080ti to a 3090. I have one question: What are AIB's thoughts on Taking apart a card and putting a water block on there? it seems EVGA are one of the better partners, also have read good things about Zotac / MSI, just wanted a clear idea before...

Afternoon, I currently have a EK Res/Pump combo (EK-XRES 140 Revo), however the pump has had it, grinds, rattles the case, loop has little bits of plastic crap in, the pump is that loud when at 100% the wife can hear it through the walls, however if i set it at low RPM it's fine. My question...

If you had enough rads,fans,high enough fan speed, big enough blocks, high enough flow rate,best TIM etc. Could you get cpu/gpu load temps to be the same as the ambient temp or slightly above it? What would the other limiting factors be?

Noob here. I've got a 5800X and 3060Ti and planning to get RGB ram. Are there any water coolers I can use for the CPU which will still allow visibility with a NR200 with tempered glass?

Hi all, TL;DR: This will be my project log for my first water cooled custom loop with an X570/3700X inside a Fractal Design Meshify 2XL. Going mostly for Heatkiller blocks & res, Alphacool (rads, fittings & tubes) and possibly some EK parts using 13mm hard line acrylic tubes. Looks will be a...

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...

Hello all, I am currently planning my next custom loop watercooling build and I had though of using the new Fractal Design Define 7 XL as my case, however I'm beginning to think a different cased with better radiator support might be more beneficial. Are there any other cases you would...

I have a two aluminium radiator from a broken AIOs that I want to reuse. The best known DDC/D5 pump has a stainless steel rotor/impeller, so that's a no-go unless I use coolant with corrosion inhibitors. Does anyone know if there's an all-plastic (on the wet side) pump with decent reputation? I...
