Alphacool tubing AlphaTube HF 13/10 (3/8"ID) - Ultra Clear 3m (9,8ft) Retailbox

A water cooling system consists of many different elements. Pumps, radiators, cooling blocks, reservoirs and often other com-ponents. In order to build up a functional water cooling system, these components must of course be connected to...

Google translate is my best friend

I need to compare the ID of my old tubes with that one, i used to buy this: https://www.primochill.com/collecti...-od-retail-bundle-10ft-pack-brilliant-uv-blue

Unfortunately EKWB aren't selling it anymore

Colored tubes could be my next thing as dyed coolants are kinda meh. :/

I have yet to have a dyed coolant that didn't become unstable after 18 months.

 

[freeagent]

I've never considered a full on loop before until today.

I want one

I will be sure to annoy many with questions, after I do some reading of course, to keep the annoying part to a minimum.

There was a few forum posts, and some pictures.. and my imagination started to kick in. I think I've done what I can with air..

I've had Nanoxia blood red coolant which just messed up everything, I mean, if that shit got to my hands, even washing didn't help Then I had Coollaboratory green coolant which was okay, but I still prefer just distilled water..

I'd have my full custom loop but the pump-res is too big for this case. I've been thinking of getting a cover for the pump and a discrete reservoir.

I will see if i can find somewhere in Europe those PrimoFlex Tubing because ordering it from USA will be too expensive.

They look fantastic #12

The tubes you see in the picture just those that goes from the waterchiller to the PC were new the rest were reused from another PC and even after 2 years you couldn't see the difference between the new and the old one.

I have a glow in the dark fixation.....someone wake me up when they get that working

Shall we have just one last look on my old trusty work horse, before i move on to my new project later this year. I hope by april CPU and GPU stock and prices are better than they now.
I have since late november getting parts home for my new build. But in these Coronatimes it takes longer to get parts home and some are litterly sold out all the time.

I have this home for my new project so far. For those interested or may not have seen it yet.

What's your latest tech purchase?

Renoir arrived. I wanted to get a shot of an AM4 CPU with the letters bright instead of dark for once: Nice one! Checking out your bench results in the Zen thread now.

That's not it, it just doesn't come across very well in text. It also depends on mood. I'm not in a great one today.. I hope your day goes better for you. For me, it is my Christmas so I am enjoying best as I can. Edit: to those getting the Ryzen 5000 series CPU's, are you guys paying...

Now to my current and soon retired build. It will however live on as my new retro gamer. Yeah i planning to make a dual boot of windows XP and Windows 7 unplugded from internet off cause, to play older games that dosent work on windows 10. For that, this old system have plenty of power for that. I have no plans on selling it. I have way to many fond memory´s with X58 to ever do that. For those wondering about zipties on cpu cooler. They are there to lift cpu cooler a bit to prevent it from touching the black fans on chipset heatsink.

That PSU is sucking in warm air from within the case, Flip it!
Or is there no ventilation opening at the bottom of that case?

There is no ventilation holes in the bottom of this case and it has been like this for almost twelve years now. If there had been any issue with it, that shut had been happen a long time a go and this case is pretty good ventilated. Heat is not a problem. Remember this case is from over a decade a go and such things was not the standart back then.

In short, i am not worried about PSU sucking in heat and also this PSU is so overkill for this system now, so a little heat is not a problem. It´s a 1500 watt PSU.

X58 man, you need those fans!

Tom, when you finally do upgrade, it doesn't matter who you go with, be it Intel or AMD, it will be a mind blowing upgrade!

Especially on the storage side of things.

 

[Ruru]

X58 man, you need those fans!

I went without any extra cooling when I had an i7-920 @ 4.2GHz & Corsair H100i.

The chipset fans, whas something i made in 2018. We had a seriously hot summer in 2018 with several days in the 30-35 degress celsious area (normal we are around the 20-25 degress) and that made my pc suffer in the heat. So to help it, i made some upgrades to the cooling. I just havent brother to take it of again.

For upgrade, if you have seen the links above. The B550 mini-ITX board shut tell what i am after. AMD Zen 3 (5600X and 5950X).

Its funny you mentien storage. Well in capacity that will be a huge upgrade for sure. But for my boot drive. I have had a good help from an older M.2 NVMe SSD, that will be Samsung 950 PRO. So i have had a desent fast OS drive.

​

I went without any extra cooling when I had an i7-920 @ 4.2GHz & Corsair H100i.

Normally it is not needed. But as i told freeagent. Summer in 2018 where really hot in my country. It also help me to some great overclock out of my current I7 980X up to 4.75 Ghz all core on air cooling (all throw as daily runner, it´s clock to 4,4 Ghz and by the way so whas my I7 920 i had before I7 980X).

Summers are pretty hot here in Finland too, I remember my GTX 470 running hella hot back in 2012. In fact I had my X58 so little time that room temperature wasn't an issue (from fall 2014 to spring 2015).

Im from Denmark. Summer 2018 where unnatually hot. Much hotter than normal for a danish summer.

Oh god, GTX 470 and even worse GTX 480. That´s Nvidia infamouse FERMI card and well known for running hot and being power hungry. So hot infact that people joked about it and made memes and even AMD made a joke commercial about it.

I had a Gigabyte SOC version but it was simply hot af in my apartment. In fact after playing hours with 100-105C temps I heard a loud POP and its IHS popped off by itself. I bought an Arctic Twin Turbo II and put it direct to the die, temps lowered by ~35C.

My rig which I have now has also more or less heat problems as my 980 Ti gets up to 89C when gaming. Been thinking of expanding the loop and putting my EK Supremacy VGA (universal block) to it, putting a thicker (45mm) rad and installing it to the top of the case. Also I'd put the original bundled fans to the front and check if it would be enough to cool the card's VRM/VRAM heatplate..

 

[freeagent]

I hear you buddy!

Its no fun having to turn an overclock down JUST because summer has arrived

Its not something I do anymore.. If its going to be intensive I will try to do it in the morning, or at night before or after the sun.

Right now its -30 but soon it will be +30

Edit:

I forgot I have central air now

I have had cards as well running hot, but that´s more because of the cooling solution being bad. Like Blower style coolers. My Current GTX 1080 TI even with overclock. I have not seen it a day over 75 C. with auto fan profile on the hottest summer day. CPU however is another story. 4,4 Ghz and fans a max blast (that is 3 fans at 3000 RPM) it still hits 75C in winter time, summer. Well you can properly imagine that.

I run my system overclock all the time. No mercy there.

You can take a look here what i have achieved on my I7 920 and I7 980X. Bofh aircooled.

I have to compare those later with my R5 3600 @ 4.4 after I get a 1080 Ti

Oh please, they weren't THAT bad.

 

[Tomgang]

Oh please, they weren't THAT bad.

Weren't that bad. Oh yes they were. A friend and reviewer back then. Had a reference gtx 480 in his open testbench for a test while I was at his place.

How high a temperature do you think thing ilde at? It peaked at 65 degrees Celsius just at ilde. Load whas if I remember correctly we'll above 90 degrees Celsius. The reference card and cooler whas terrible hot running. That's for sure. Aftermarket cards whas hopefully better. But FERMI know to run hot whas not for fun. It's a fact.

 

[freeagent]

I still have a GTX 580 Matrix Platinum. I had it paired with a DCII and that card roasted @ 100c lol. I was blowing all over it made no difference lol.

The bottom card was chillin at 85 or 90 I think.

I had a Galaxy GTX 465 and that thing made some decent heat too. It just had a little puny fan on it so not really a big shocker..


Just curious.. with that high idle would that have been with two monitors connected?

As far I remember, it was only one monitor connected. But I cut be wrong. It like 10 years ago, so I really don't remember details like that.

I've had several and no they were not that bad. Your making a mountain out of a mole-hill.
