That brings back memories of why I water cooled my 3090

I forgot to take pics but i just had to hook up two hoses to my CPU block, stuck some paper towel on the "in" and gave my 5800x a blowjob up it's rear end

She was a dirty girl and blew crapola everywhere

I cant wait for the radiator cleaning kit to arrive, i'm tired of this crap gunking the block up

Hi,
Usually takes more than a cleaning kit sadly
Filter and qdc's do the trick without guessing :cool:

Added a fan to help cool the 1030, no way to mount it properly so I used zip ties. Got up to 70 degrees during valley bench with the fan. The fan is from an old AMD FX6300 heatsink I used briefly years ago. Click to enlarge.

That is how I used to cool GPU's BITD. Except I used SuperGlue to attach the fan to the heatsink. Zip ties work well though. Why Windows 8 though?

It's really running win 10 pro, also not sure the reported gpu clock speed is correct (the ram speed is right, it oc's to 7ghz with no issues), it's supposed to be around 1500mhz boost for the 1030, although I did hack the driver a bit so it could run a new Nvidia driver (the official driver doesn't support the 1030). The 1080 is the entry I replaced with the 1030.

I have a plan to cool the internals a bit and it involves this resurrected Frankenstein. Click to enlarge. I just soldered on a proper 3 pin connector and I'll probably zip tie it in place, just waiting on ram before I finalize this build. The Tuck Tape is covering a previous Frankenstein. Also the image on the right is mirrored, the inside was never meant to be seen, NO9G6R by iTA ftw.

it's annoying when the same type motherboard has different layout, my old acer aspire 4736 board slowly hit the dust so i buy the board through online
most layout are the same, but i just realize it has 2 version, it's DDR3 and DDR2
this is the wifi card, bust since the mounting is lower i can't screw it right and i'm lazy drilling to make another mounting, so i just tie it

and i make male to male USB cable for my laptop cooler since the original one is missing

I have a filter, and my CPU block counts as a secondary filter despite my wishing otherwise

Ghetto mods basically means making something work in the lowest budget way possible. Usually ugly and won't work well or for long - but sometimes it's the best choice, or only choice.

Hi,
What ever you call a filter isn't good enough.

If you want to stay ghetto use a coffee filter in the reservoir :laugh:

Diminishing returns, I can back it up with science.

Do you realize how fast a coffee filter stops letting water through? I made a gallon of cold brew coffee once and tried to filter it after the fact. After about a pint (1/2 liter) it stopped up and flow basically turned off.

Hi,
No but it's ghetto as hell :cool:

Damn I hate it I don't have my images on this machine :banghead:

Neither am I. Flow matters.

Count von Schwalbe · Jul 24, 2022

I guess it's worthy of this thread that I made coffee by literally pouring coffee grounds into water and letting it sit for a few hours...

I got a good one coming up, may even have to make a thread about it. Stay tuned!

Hi,
Yeah been there done that which Mussels found in his blocks

Only fix was a auto filter
Call it not ghetto enough, fine but auto parts in a custom loop is smart ghetto
Hell ghetto the hooking up to the loop
Best would be use it cleaning the rads with a filter which is the image I don't have atm

Mussels · Jul 24, 2022

I have discovered why it came out - i reversed the in/out on my radiators when i changed the hoses.

Some crapola was jammed in there from the previous blockage, and reversing them accidentally has flushed those final bits free.

ThrashZone · Jul 24, 2022

Hi,
I believe only hardware labs GTX series care which is inlet or outlet depending by which way the fans are blowing seeing they are dual core series.

This Peltier (80w), combined with improved case airflow resulted in more than 10C degrees on the 6800 XT that I transfer to more overclock
