Make sure you check the o-ring! But yeah, Zen3 just runs hot. 7nm means silly high heat density, so even with very good cooling it's not unusual to see higher temp readings than you'd expect--even if the coolant isn't warming up all that much; it's just harder to get the heat out of the die in the first place than with previous generations. Even open-air test benches with good coolers are seeing stuff like ~40C idle temps and loads in the 70C range. e; There's some churn that this might be because AMD right now has set very aggressive power profiles and are over-volting the chips considerably, but my motherboard / chip / BIOS combo right now means that even a -1 offset with PBO2 immediately makes it unstable, so I'll have to re-attack undervolting later.

ilkhan posted:You should have warmer water and hotter component temps, but the water should still be consistent anywhere in the loop. Input/Output for the CPU block / pump / res combo. Basically it's running backwards now. So before it was Res/Pump/CPU -> Rad -> Rad -> GPU -> Res/Pump/CPU, now it's Res/Pump/CPU <- Rad <- Rad <- GPU <- Res/Pump/CPU. I think the high heat generation (~400W), low liquid volume, and low rad surface combines to exaggerate the impacts of ordering more than you'd see in a normal setup.

Since they don't actually have a sensor on the fluid temp, we don't actually know that the fluid has a significant temp, only an anecdote that there was an observed temperature difference between the components, which we don't have reliable testing data for.

So before it was Res/Pump/CPU -> Rad -> Rad -> GPU -> Res/Pump/CPU, now it's Res/Pump/CPU <- Rad <- Rad <- GPU <- Res/Pump/CPU. It's still just so improbable it defies belief, given how many controlled tests out there show that order doesn't matter (and flow rate has very minor impact outside of edge case low flow situations). Even your 'extreme' scenario is no more than you doing stupid things with an Eisbaer + Eiswolf pseudo-AIO, which I would never hypothesize these results for. But I'm obsessive enough about this that if I had your system I'd have already bought a coolant sensor and done those tests I recommended on both configurations because I wouldn't be able to sleep until I could explain the behavior

The only thing that matters is taking note of jet plates on blocks, such as a CPU block. Water should be IN to the jet plate and OUT of the other port. These are usually labeled. Otherwise you aren't going to see a difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnPB_q51iVk

Yup. It's a nice case. Everyone was doing the o11 dynamic but I wanted something different with dual thick 420mm rads. I think the V3000 is discontinued now though which is a shame.

Corsair semi ripped off lian li and made a gigantic version of the 4000D called.... the 5000D https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categ...p/CC-9011211-WW Heres the 4000D, check out the difference in top AIO clearance. https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categories/Products/Cases/Mid-Tower-ATX-Cases/4000D-Airflow-Tempered-Glass-Mid-Tower-ATX-Case/p/CC-9011200-WW I still like the 500D I own but 6 intake fans is making me jealous. edit: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/obsidian-500d-case 500D link

Some other super towers I was considering are the Corsair 900D, Thermaltake The Tower 900 (dual 560mm rad, but with no airflow over motherboard), Thermaltake Core W100 (3x 140mm in front and 4x 140mm or 3x 200mm on top) and the Thermaltake Core X9 just because how insane it was. W100  Core X9

Here I am buying parts for a water loop for whenever AMD starts making CPUs again. I've already got the pump/block/rad that I wanted; nothing fancy. Is there a general consensus on where to go for everyday fittings, tubes, and those fiddly parts? Kind of like monoprice, but for water stuff, is what I could use recs on. Thanks.

Rebuilt my system. New CPU/GPU/Motherboard. Case and loop stay the same. Ran overnight leak test, everything checks out good. Reboot system and start formatting drives to reinstall windows and start fresh. System hangs, blue screens. Then that burning plastic smell we all dread. Oh no what did I do? I didn't notice that the pump wasn't running. The CPU was overheating, the water block on it was hot to the touch. The good news is that the smell seems to have come from the pump itself. I guess it just chose this exact moment to burn itself out. I tried hooking it up to different power connectors, even an old PSU. No dice. I hope nothing else got fried, but I'm going to have to wait a week and a half to find out. I head out of town Tuesday morning and the local Microcenter doesn't have squat for pumps.

I think all new CPU's have very good shutdown protection so it's probably fine. Pump failure is one of the reasons I went with dual pumps, with a flow sensor to an Aquaero 6 to let me know / shut the system down if there's no flow.

I'm building out a new pc and picked a bad time to do it because AMD does't produce CPUs anymore.; however, this has given me a lot of time to buy all the other poo poo, including a big fuckoff water system I've always wanted to do. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm buying pumps, radiators, blocks and tubing. I work out of my garage and have always just had my working pc siting out here with me, bare, without a case. No plans on changing that, so I'm not limited in size/scope. Oh, I'll make some sort of wooden tray/frame to hold it all, but the innards will mostly be exposed. It's super fun and there's a ton of possibilities. I just bought something that looks like a giant bong. I'm told this is a D5 pump with 400ml reservoir, but whatever it is, it's pretty big. It's doing this kind of stuff that's been keeping me sane (I think).

Half the fun of my current build is that I have no idea what I'm doing. Sure I'm going to end up with a handful of left over unused fittings because I don't know what I need. Plus I decided 90 degree fittings look better than 45 degree ones. Then changed my mind about PETG and changed to acrylic because it cuts much better. Then changed my pumps from the kind with a speed dial on them to software controlled pwm pumps, and changed from Corsair LED's to Aquacomputer LED's because I hate Corsair's LED control software and I'll probably change things still before the build is done but it's a continuous flowing process. I'm currently trying to decide if I should get a second small power supply (Corsair SF450) dedicated to powering the pumps just so it makes filling the loop easier as once all the tubes are in, it's going to be a pain to plug all the cables into the motherboard and gpu. I also just brought a 24 pin + internal usb 3.0 90 degree adapters, and they look so much better than the cables sticking up vertically and having to do a 180 in the air. Might try and get some for the dual 8 pin EPS my motherboard uses, plus some 8 pin PCIE 180 degree ones.

And that's okay -- I'll see if I can get something to work out of it all and have fun doing it. I'm giving myself permission to be a dumbass and make mistakes. It's fun!

I had to pull off some real magic to get the LED's to work. (First I had to learn about 12v RGB vs 5v D-RGB) This is the Phanteks Halo Lux Digital  It ends in a fan style 3 pin large connector.  Which plugs into a D-RGB Motherboard adapter  Which then plugs into this  Then into this  Which finally plugs into the Farbwerk 360  The Phanteks Neon strips work the same way.

3080 FE block arrived. The machining marks are visible on the non-contact surfaces, but are mostly polished off the contact surfaces. I don't think they'll be a problem. Placed my order for the rest of the parts I need today, so I expect mid next week I should be able to put this thing together

Which tube? The one on the left is bottom rad straight up to top rad, I was surprised I only needed a 90 into a 90 fitting for that. What amazes me is the gpu fitting is perfectly in the same axis as the reservoir. Just a 90 going right to meet the reservoir going up.

I'm liking those 90 degree adapters for the 24 pin and internal USB 3.0. Still a month away from ordering my cables though as Cablemod are currently busy Doing Stuff™ I did consider doing a GPU CPU Parrallel line setup but they didn't line up so   Next bit to do is the flow meter to radiator. Can't really do any more until my spacers arrive for the rad > cpu fitting.
