Here they are
As you see used the long ones with the springs and retention bracket, contrary to the manual, because I used liquid metal. If you use normal thermal paste not needed.
Ah thanks, that looks awesome!
Will keep it in mind for future

Check my updated message pls.
Hey all, apologies if this has been covered either in this thread or elsewhere on the forum, couldn't find anything related, so here goes - mouse cursor gets regularly corrupted during Windows sessions. GPU in place is a Vega 64. Various searches online point towards a (somewhat) known issue with AMD drivers, however they are all a couple of years old. This happened after a recent driver update to 18.11.1 (now updated to 18.11.2, without any luck). Tried reverting back to the old version that didn't work, also tried the stable release of 18.9.3 and same keeps happening. All done after cleaning previous drivers with DDU in safe mode. The cursor corrupts anywhere between half hour to several hours into a Windows session; haven't been able to tie it in with a certain application/process running in the background that could cause the issue to occur. Anyone had dealings with this harmless but incredibly annoying bug?

What mouse are you using?
I had problems with my Logitech mouse (Darkfield) in the past and it was down to a bad laser in the mouse. Replaced mouse with the same model and all working OK now.
The Bykski is the one and confirmed is copper.
Did you have to order direct from Bykski or did you find someone from UK selling them?
You can also add BYKSKI OLED Digital Display Water Temperature Meter to the GPU Block Adapter now.
I do like the inline Bykski OLED Digital Display Water Temperature Meter Water Cooler System Double G1/4'' Thermometer Temperature Sensor Fitting in different colours.

Hey, thanks for reply, didn't even consider it could be mouse related! I've got Logitech G903 mouse. How would an issue with mouse hardware result in visual bug on the screen though? Especially since (found this little workaround online) having Windows Magnifier open (even minimised) fixes the issue as long as it's running.
Are you using any Logitech software (setpoint) with the mouse?
If you are you can try to uninstall and re-stall the Logitech software.

In case your 64 is acting up and you have one of these PSU's.
Seasonic Issues Warning: FOCUS PLUS PSU has GPU Compatibility Issues-
Here's something you do not see that often, Seasonic confirmed that their FOCUS PLUS power supplies can have issues with certain graphics cards resulting in black screens under GPU stress, the issue seems related to high ripple under GPU load.
The solution is quite simple though, some modified PCIe cables with enhanced shielding make the problem go away":
FOCUS PLUS and GPU potential compatibility issues-
We have been notified, in limited instances, where some issues may occur when a FOCUS power supply is used in conjunction with certain high power consumption GPU or brand of VGA cards. If you experience possible compatibility issues, please check the below information and contact us for further assistance:
FOCUS PLUS & ASUS GTX970 STRIX: In very limited instances black screen may occur under heavy VGA usage. Current testing showed that certain VGA cards may emit higher than normal ripple when under heavy load and using a modified PCIe cables with enhanced shielding resolved the issue.
FOCUS PLUS & Vega 56/64: For units with serial numbers before January 2018, in rare instances, possible system shutdown may occur when GPU is under heavy load. This is possibly caused by higher than normal peak current emitted by this particular range of GPU's when under heavy load triggering the PSU’s internal protection safety.

Thanks for your replies guys.
Simon D, i'll deffo give that a go. Worse comes to worst it's a 5 min fix that's easy to try
Oldphart, that's a diamond of a statement, don't think I've ever seen or heard anything of the sort, but we live and learn
Granted that the issue occurs seemingly randomly (and mostly when I'm just browsing and not doing anything intensive), I'd like to think this is not the cause. Worthwile looking further into it tho.

I'm so glad i have a Seasonic Focus Plus arriving today
Serial number will be after Jan now, id have thought.
Have a look at what OLDPHART has posted above. Your PSU might have those issues.

Thanks OLDPHART and Arron for the info I've had to buy a new psu superflower

Got it from Aliexpress. The company has shop there.
Yeah Bykski has a lot of cool stuff, including whole distribution reservoir, for some cases (like O11), which will work with any motherboard, if someone uses soft tubing.
Yes that shop front is the same from the Bykski Pro Store, seems to coming up with a lot of new cool stuff, CPU blocks with OLED Digital Display. I was looking to get back into water cooling again. How long did it take for your water block to arrive once ordered?
