Hate 8. :down: 7 is heaven. :up:

A few questions ...

What type of pressure drop are you expecting in the WCing loop for this block. If it's really not much, you can tighten up the fins to 1mm each with a thickness of about...

Can you cut a groove/gland in the base tray to seal with an o-ring? Or place a epoxy into the groove/gland?

Or ...

Can you allow spot tack welding in any of the areas? Does this need to seal...

Shoggy, any time someone asks about speed controlling DDC pumps, I always say that the best controller is the Aquaero series.

Allowing the ability to speed control both fans and pumps in a WCing...

If your block is a Supreme HF, you can find "supreme HF plexi top" on eBay. This should save you money.

Nice job. another good cleaner to just dip and rinse is toilet bowl cleaner.

As a few mentioned, the DDC-3 (MCP355) series runs hot. Adding a performance top just adds to the heat problems. Thus, the DDC-3 series in time burns up. 18W to 22W can be hot while under constant...

Makes sense why the sudden departure in the industry. Loosing one's spouse and bookkeeper all in-one is a big lose overall for the business and a loved one.

Sad to see both go.

Due to the desktops not sell all that well, this is a last chance to get the sales upward.

With any machine that has several hundreds of dollars in components, was it plugged into a top rated surge suppressor?

All to often, bad power can jump a PSU and ruin gear.

My daily driver laptop, not the gaming rig, is a HP Compaq Win-7 x64 with the AMD Vision GPU. Not had any issues with controllers or the graphics. It can run SolidWorks CAD and Halo really well.

Any of the Laing pumps can run off of a wall-wart power plug AC/DC supply too. The DDC series is know to work very good this way. My main rig runs a DDC-1T 10W type connected to an external RES. ...

Hoping the website works for them.

Mine tends to be so-so since I'm not a web page development person. I have plenty of MCP350 DDC-1T non-functional PCB types if anyone wants to try the mod. ...

Yes, for only a few dollars, a little handwork along with a little time, getting a DDC 10W to a full 18W sure beats the cost of a new MCP35X any day. Besides, WC started out as a modder's hobby. ...

Good general questions lead very well into detailed information. Hope to see others provide good input as well.

Oh, the memory leaks were the worse. Always that scrolling pop-up in vista and win7. Looks like and update is now at hand. Like others, I'd be tired of this silly revision release numbers all the...

Three DDCs ... It's doable in a 3X XSPC top ...

Also, three DDC-1T pumps would do the job well. The head-pressure with the performance top is nearly equal to the more expensive DDC-3 series. ...

Back in the early DIY WCing days of the 00's most of the WCing loops were mixed metals of copper/aluminum. That is the reason why coolants like FluidXP and others were on the market unlike today. ...

As for the DDC pumps, if you know a pump maverick, you can find a bunch of them. lol :)

In reality, it all comes down to the battery technology. Tripplite has some of the better batteries for a backup UPS. Plus they have one of the better warranties too.

Read up on the products...

If you know of a pump maverick, you will find all of the DDC-1T pumps available, new, with the 50,000+ run hour life fully intact for about $55 less than retail. ;)

Typically when the click-click shifting impeller event happens, it's due to one or more of the coil leads not making good contact or became broken. As for the POT, that could be culprit too. Check...

Indeed, opensource non-cloud computing is the last frontier hold-out before "ALL YOUR BASE BELONGS TO US" by big corporations and/or big borhter.

VLC is opensource along with these others ......

My RES is a simple Vlasic 1-gallon glass pickle jar. It has two holes in the top and has a nice teal-greenish color to it. I've placed a few of those vinyl fish decals with the transparent liner. ...

A few years ago, Laing showed a China knock-off of the DDC pump that didn't perform well, and the run life was nearly half. The below image looks strangely similar if not the same concept of a...
