Been gone a while, anyone still around?

Wow, this place is quiet! Well, I am headed back onto the breach! Wanna build a ryzen 7 system. What company is big these days? I used to use all Swiftech.

Probably the most popular these days:

Blocks - EK
Pumps - Swiftech/EK/Alphacool based on Laing (not much has changed here)
Tubing - Primochill
Radiators - Hardware Labs / EK

Check for Optimus water cooling too !

If on a budget xspc , barrow and bykski are great alternatives , great quality , performance and lowest price.

What kind of coolant and additives would you recommend for the longest 27/7/365 operation before having to drain and clean a custom loop? And how long would that be before doing it?

distilled water and copper sulfate is still the way to go. Loops should be drained, cleaned, and refilled every 2-3 years.

Cool...thanks.

Being covid 19 free, I figured I join the club. Just spent 2 days at Morongo Casino, Cabozon CA. Good fun.
We'll see if i survive.
10 bucks I will

I think the Casino is what brought Covid to Vegas and where I first caught it back in December

CES was allegedly the vector to spread around the US. It may have been floating around vegas, but con flu was covid early this year.

Funny i just logged on from who knows how long ago . I remember some of ya'll . I am def getting back into water cooling as well and doing an AMD build after their new stuff releases.

[deachus]

Damn its been forever. Just logging back on myself. I'm 90% finished a new 10900K build with dual 360 rads, cpu and gpu.

[initialised]

It's been years, I feel so out of the loop!

Been struggling with temps on a W3680 (don't judge, 6 Cores at 4.x GHz only just became mainstream, welcome to 2010, you're going to love it) since adding a GPU block and extra radiator. Probably going to go dual loop.

So, I discovered my old pump from 2011, booted right up! Put in a Monsoon DDC Reservoir, it started making a grinding sound, and died. LOL!! okay.

My system from 2013 is running like a champ! Monsoon dual bay res gen 1, 420 Swiftech QP, 320 Swiftech QP, 220 Swiftech QP, various fittings, primochill tubing, Kamodo block for the 7970 and Apogee Drive CPU/pump.

I don't think I should risk using this pump for this new build, it's 7 years old, and still works, but it's 7 years old!

I got a 5700 Liquid Devil, 18 Monsoon compressions fittings, a Monsoon Dual Bay, Gen 2 with DDC mount, new Primochll tubing, and PWM fans. I need my new CPU and MB. It's cool to be back in the game! Hello everybody!
