Water cooling bits, any use?

Xionic · 12 Sep 2020 at 19:00

So back when I had money and time (before children). I had a water cooled pc which has long since been sold (purchased 2011)

I kept the water cooling loop because the guy wanted air cooling. It's old but appears to be in pretty good nick, is it still usable. Or is it a bin jobby?

Parts:
EK DCP 2.2 pump (with inbuilt res)
120.2 EK Rad
EK Supreme LTX CPU Block

Should all be fine just give it a lot of flushing.

So having had a proper look at it and gave it a good clean everything seems good, I don't appear to have the universal backplate to mount it or the screws? Can these be acquired separately or is the CPU Block useless now.

Ek do kits for different sockets which you can purchase

Thanks for your prompt response and help. I appear to have found the backplate I require here though it's currently out of stock but it has no mention of whether it comes with the required screws etc. Any ideas?

Jeez thats an oldie, i remember back in 2012 i think when i first got into watercooling i was using one of these. Great for little micro atx builds back then, compact and did the job.

I bought the loop in a pre-built water cooled case from Overclockers back in late 2011. Corsair 650D. £259.99 at the time I think.

Managed 5ghz out of my i5 2500K back then.
