Post your cooling.

ShrimpBrime · May 21, 2024

Show off your cooling gear. Air cooling, water builds and extreme pictures required!!

Benchmark screenshots are welcome. Friendly competition is also welcome!

If you do cool, we wanna see it! Doesn't even have to be built yet. Got a parts grip?

To kick this off, here is some DryIce in action and a personal record or two.

HX 1050 from @LFaWolf - In use from his giveaway thread. Thanks again, here's that PSU in action. RIP Cheyong

CBR20, last 2 pounds of Dice gone in minutes!!

Here is my build. All aircooled.

To prevent a long post here, i have seperated most pictures of system and benchmark in to two imgur links.

Rest of pictures are in these two links.

Fun times with the Silverstone ML-09B

Moving my captured my build experiences in ML-09B from other threads here so I can keep track of progressive changes and tests. This case is quite outdated but still proves to be quite useful. When installed with 4750G, Motherboard with 2 display outputs, and gigabyte 4060 (low profile) you...

Fun times with the NR200P, Dual Rad (no special mods needed)

When I first started water cooling I told myself I'd only do one. With too many spare parts laying around I had enough and just had to do one more so this is it, the final one. If you liked my previous builds X570 and ML09B stay tuned over the next few weeks (or months). I just finished my...

Truly a struggle

I paid for all the radiator slots and I am going to use all of the radiator slots.

Now Shrimpy.....
You should know better than to create a thread where I can show off what I've got.

Now this is a case of maximized aircooling.

More cooling goodness with a really tall DICE pot:

And the best one - From my WR run with an AMD:

Enjoy guys. :toast:

Just recently replaced my Lian Li D11 with this Lian Li V3000 Plus. I really hate this case for watercooling. Total pain to build in using the EKWB Distro plate.

Hardware is just a placeholder until the next Intel socket.

fec32a4de · May 22, 2024

Quick and crude solution for now. Temperatures aren't even low.
Last summer I hit ~14*C/57F under FULL load. But I did have better venting leading to PC

Wonder if I can get a waterblock and recirculate r134a or R410A

freeagent · May 22, 2024

This is how mine is sitting right now. I like it, its pretty quiet. It idles so low that some people think my sensors are off, and loads under 80c at 142w PPT and 145w package power. It can handle 265w from my 5900X, but not as quietly

All of the fans installed right now are made by Thermalright

ShrimpBrime · May 22, 2024

@ir_cow that lian li looks really similar to my late TJ07. Mad space in there! We'll utilized.

These some fine looking machines up in here!!!

sick "water-cooled" ram :rockout:

The Liquid Freezer II's tube length was one of the deciding factors in buying it

Fokker · May 22, 2024

This is what it's running at currently. I need to go back and redo my OCs, so it's just a basic UV and boost bump on the CPU right now and one of my presets on the GPU.

That rad is upside down and you want the rad ports above the pump. You should watch the stop doing it wrong aio watercooling video.

What? I thought this case is one of the best cases available today, what was the problem with the distro plate?

Waldorf · May 22, 2024

@A Computer Guy/Vya Domus
lol, y'all just lazy schmucks, not removing the glass for a photoshoot..

my baybee all bare, "no glass" p0rn

280 Eisbaer converted to loop (1/2in IN), XSPC Raystorm clone, D5 clone, 420ml res, XSPC pre-mixed coolant.

@Canned Noodles
while some AIOs with a res/pump combo (eisbaer) have no problem with the block installed above the rad, as others said, not a good idea, as your trapping air in the worst spot (pump).
per arctic: the most important thing is to ensure that the radiator’s hose openings are located below the pump unit...

ignoring your still heating up the inside, affecting gpu temps negatively, while gaining insignificant on the cpu side.
mounting it on the top, and reducing inside temps by ~20-30*, will help, as Nv (last time i looked), throttles boost clocks for each 6* increase,
so even if its just 20* less, gains at least 3 steps for boost on the card..

BoggledBeagle · May 22, 2024

ir_cow: So the problem may be just with the large "fancy" thick EK 480 rad, smaller normal 480 rads may fit fine in the top tray? Or slimmer EK rads?

You have the same rad in the basement too?

BoggledBeagle · May 22, 2024

This reminds me that I started a thread for product improvement suggestions, could you please draw on the distro plate picture what changes should be made and post it in the thread?

Darn I'm going to have to dust all my riggs now cos last time i showed them they was all mucky and you'll all think I'm a low down bum when I'm only a bum ;-) .

TheLostSwede · May 22, 2024

Most recent system first. Gone from AiO to all air. Function over form in my case.

Only found a crappy pic of this system...

I'm not exactly what you can call a brand loyalist.

Waldorf · May 22, 2024

still not sure why many here are giving away important gpu perf for a few degrees less on cpu (rad airflow going inside the case),
as long as the gpu is aircooled.
unless the gpu stays below 50C, your giving up around 4 boost steps on the clocks (~74C avg temp on most cards),
which will impact gaming perf much more, than the + <5C more on the cpu (rad setup as exhaust)...

neatfeatguy · May 22, 2024

I can't get much better of a picture without powering off my computer and disconnecting the power cable for the top mounted 200mm fan, so this is what you get.

That's pretty much it, top and rear fans are exhaust and the two you can't see are behind the front panel (see image below) with the 240 AIO radiator mounted to them in a push position.

That is all the cooling I have and the setup, in this case, keeps things cooler over any mid or full tower I've used that had more fans. Also, I don't have to worry about GPU sag with this case.

loved my HAF XB. I finally retired mine last year.

Yeah. I got 3. Found a case I like and stuck with it. I don't like flashy RGB and I'm not staring at my case when I'm using the computer so there is no need for it to stand out or light up the room. Just sit there quietly in the background doing what it needs to do.
