The case I'm using, is a tight fit, unfortunately. The only location I found that I might be able to play the reservoir since it has to be upright is on the bottom of the case between the gpu and the motherboard, I don't have a fan bracket there but it looks like there is a place I could place one, does the reservoir pump…
For starters, assume I know nothing (basically true) I dont even know if I need or want liquid cooling. Is it a universal good or is it extremely situational? Also I have an additional question that may or may not be a stupid question. Assuming my entire system is liquid cooled, is that gonna reduce the amount of dust and…
I built my machine in 2019 and now it seems I need more cooling capacity. Components are getting too hot lately. CPU and GPU both running at same temp. Just wondering if more cooling is needed with what I am running or if other equipment changes are needed. Wondering if I need to bring my PC into service or if I could just…
So I got the Cooler Master Mesh TD500 case and wanted to incorporate the Kraken Z63 280mm AIO for cooling, preferably at the top of the case. But it looks like it would be a tight squeeze, if it could even fit at all. I was hoping to get some opinions on this? This is a MSI Gaming Edge B550 motherboard. Please ignore the…
i am needing to replace my aio cooler i have an intel core i7 10700k cpu @3.80 GHz and a msi z490 plus (MS-7C98) doing a quick google search i came across the corsair icue h100i pro xt and icue h100i elite capellix i believe theses two aios are combatable? the only reason i am unsure is that the msi z490 plus does not…
Do you sell a direct replacement for CPU Fan MassCool 5W1081F1M3?
I'm considering for aesthetic reasons replacing all the fans in my rig with QL 120s but im unsure if I can use the existing hub from the cooler as well as if the fans will be a big performance hit from the included fans for the cooler. There will be a total of 6 fans.
I have a brand new XPS 8940 with intel i7-10700 and GTX 1660 Super; 32 GB ram, SSD and an extra HDD. I immediately noticed that once launching any video game, the fans were very loud and GPU temps were well into 80s C, and after downloading Core Temp, I've discovered the CPU is fairing far worse, often hitting 90C. I'm a…
I want to know how well the ARCTIC Freezer i13 X works with the dell xps 8940. I haven't changed any parts of any pc and want to know how easy or hard installation is.
I am finishing gathering all the parts for my first rig, and I know the NZXT Kraken x53 240mm has really caught my attention for the features and the price. I know water cooling has scientifically been shown to be more effective for managing CPU temperature, but I have also heard about some of the risks of using liquid…
I recently bought a Dell G5 gaming pc (intel i5, 1660 super), I am a college student on a budget so I think buying it for $900 was a bargain. I was wondering what size fan would be needed to upgrade the current one, also how difficult it would be to upgrade the cpu heatsink. Thank you for any advice you can give me, I'm…
Good Afternoon, I am trying to improve my pc. i am noticing that my fans on my pc aren't necessarily keeping my CPU "cold". I currently have a Thermal Take view 21. I purchased this computer through IBP and it only has two fans. It has an intake fan, and a CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 120mm fan as the back exhaust. I am…
does water cooled pcs still need the silver compound?
Okay so I'm putting together a gameplan for a pc "rebuild." I really like the case that I got with my current PC and looking inside it seems pretty easy to work with. However, as I was taking a look at the insides I noticed a few things. One is no intake fans on the front (but maybe some places to mount one or 2? Unsure.)…
my aio does not do a good job of cooling my CPU i have a Coolermaster 240m liquid pro thing and when I boot I am running at 212 f and idle around the same. in-game I get the same, I have re-applied thermal paste and tried everything I know of could someone tell me what else to do
I purchased a corsair aio and accidently cut the rgb hub controller wire thats attached to the block. Good news is that it works fine but no rgb on the fans that come with it. I purchased it two days ago from this posting (12-08-20) at my local microcenter but did not purchase a warranty. what should I do?
