Do you have a better input than that. I know EK has good shit, everyone does. But like would you recommend an aio, or open loop, what comysponents, etc.
Did that stupid corsair aio but not aio tower cooler ever come out?
No idea about that one but they did make a tower cooler that was either pretty good or absolute garbage depending on how the QA was doing that day.
Wait I remember it was an all in one phase change cooler.
What happened to that?
Air or custom loop. Nothing in between.
Iām on a EK custom loop and I hit 70c full load on my 3900x at 4.15GHz. (water temp 30c)
Itāsā¦ yeah, the early 3900x is just a bad CPU.
Huh. I wonder if I have an early one somehow. It freaks the fuck out when turbo is turned on.
Itās possible. What motherboard?
Aorus Ultra Gamirg x470
Shoulda bought the asus x570p been kicking my self in the ass since the day I left chicago last year
Hmmm, should be okay then.
Nah, you dodged a bullet.
Asus boards were reported to be chucking too much voltage at the CPU, causing it to just run too hot.
Thats exactly what it does.
Latest bios?
You might need to fuck with the boost tables.
Crashes and blows up chipsets. Already tried f50, Iām apparently lucky my flashback still worked.
I can oc up to 4.25 manually before the board freaks out.
Yeah, sounds like youāve got an early chip. If you can get the serial number, you can check.
God fucking dammit
Can I get a redo?
Are you fucking kidding me I even bought it when the xt came out
Well Iāll get some paste tonight. Borrow a tube from a friend maybe
I genuinely donāt know dude. I suspect you might, but thatās just by the reaction from running it out of spec.

Knowing my luck youāre probably right lol.
Alright I think my problem was dust and the pump wasnāt set to performance. I now have everything set up and its now acting completely normal. Like it was during the summer.
I will absolutely be looking into open loop cooling, however I need a few things figured out first. Mainly, the mapping of my HAF XB EVO. Heres what I was thinking for Radiator setup, but I need yallās opinion:
Iām not gunna be able to fit a res unless its external.
Alternatively, to having a rad in the back, since its an XB, I have a 200MM mount on top. Can I use that?
I spin my DDC at 1800rpm and I get plenty of cooling. Though, you have a lot of stuff in your loop. 3 GPUs and a CPU? You might need more rippums.
Nevermind, thatās a proposed diagram, not current.
Looks good to me, Iād consider adding a small res right before, and higher than the pump. It makes pump priming and reducing air bubbles hitting the impeller extremely easy. Unless youāre going to go with a pump/res combo unit.
The pump will go in the bottom part of the case by the hard drives, and likely I will need a different power supply with super sleek cables.
Iām not really going to have room for a res, unless I had it above the CPU.
Also, know anything about watercooling a Grid K2? Otherwise I plan to have it air only, as in the diagram.
Also just for note, the H100i is fine again. Lel.

Nope, not sure. And Iād make sure you can get waterblocks for those other cards on the bay before you start the process. The 970 should be easy, but the 480 is old, Iām not sure itāll be easy to find one for it.
