So, I am considering buying some Bykski DDC pumps. As a reminder, I am looking for a few DDC pumps, because I plan on using 5 pumps, and D5 pumps each dump as much as 25w into the loop. That's an extra 125w the loop has to handle, which just doesn't seem efficient. The D5 pumps will get...

I have had nothing but good experiences when it comes to Enterprise pulls on eBay. Consumer stuff is a different story all together, but I have been buying used enterprise stuff (from sellers that have a storefront that makes it obvious they specialize in decommed enterprise equipment sales)...

I was under the impression they had to shut off together to be per code due to the shared neutral? Maybe I could solve that with some sort of bridging device on the handles if the breakers are right next to each other? I'm not sure what you mean by de-rate here. The wire from the main...

That's my favorite kind of kill! I honestly don't know what kind of overkill this will wind up being. Yes, those Mora IV 600 radiators are huge, but they are also very low fin density, optimized for silence rather than performance (which is almost a little wasted in my application) It will be...

The funny part is most of it isn't for "work". It's largely to satisfy my "home IT" stuff. Like, ****. I have this LSI controller and I really need to flash new firmware to it, but I don't want to take down the server to do that... That kind of stuff. The only thing I really use the...

I don't think any of my current UPS:es I have in there ( 2x APC SMT1500RM2U and 1x Cyberpower PR1500LCD) accept 240v inputs, or even anything above 15A. They are all 120v 15A units. Long term I have been toying with the idea of replacing the three UPS:es I have in there with one bigger unit...

Thank you sirs!

I've pretty much given up on having both my workstation and my gaming system be the same system anymore. And this really pains me, as I am a huge believer in the "one machine to do it all" general purpose computing principle. But the fact just is that I can't get everything I want in the same...

The 9950x3d will have higher max boost clocks, but will suffer from performance penalties from multi-CCD's that the 9800x3d doesn't. Someone with a pile of money hell be ton the best gaming CPU performance ever, might just buy a 9950x3d and disable one CCD, making it a higher clocked...

I have been considering making some changes to the water loop layout as well. Consideration #1: Splitting up dual D5's to two separate D5's and having each power just one block of the game machine (one for CPU, one for GPU.) My plan has originally been to dedicate a dual pump top of the two...

So, With my status now being "waiting for my radiator to flush" as well as "waiting for several things I ordered to show up" and "saying '****' as I remember things I forgot to order that will delay me even further, I wasn't sure what I was going to accomplish on the project today. Then my...

The next part is a little tricky. I scoured the manual, but nowhere in that thing did I find the actual measurement of the space between the two brackets. Since all of these pieces are loose (when not mounted) and don't stay in place, it was rather difficult to measure the hole spacing for...

Alright, so due to Setback #1, I still don't have a flushed radiator that is ready, but that doesn't mean I can't start measuring and drilling holes to attach the mounting brackets. The brackets are designed to mount vertically to your wall, being screwed in place through two holes, one at the...

So, while the flushing continues due to setback #1, I started working on a solution for setback #3, and it involves more amateur metal work! I measured the distance between the rails and the panel as 1-1/4", so I went to Home Depot to the plumbing aisle and bought myself an 18" length of 0.5"...

Alright, so to the setbacks. Setback #1 This is a real facepalm one. Remember my fancy filtered radiator flushing system from several posts up? Well, I didn't actually check that I was getting any flow. It turns out that a 0.5micron filter followed by a 0.1micron filter are just too much...

Sliger offers to sell you Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans with your case, but given that this rack is out of earshot and I cant hear it anyway, I wanted something with a little bit more power. After some brief research (and this thread) I landed on the Silverstone FHS 120X. They are 38mm thick...

Also, before getting tot eh setbacks, I have ordered the case I am going to use for the workstation. Instead of the 4U Sliger CX4150a I mentioned in my plans, I decided to step it up a couple of sizes to the larger 4U Sliger CX4200a, entirely because upon reading the detailed specs, my existing...

Alrighty, since my last updates I have had some setbacks, and come up with some solutions, but first the positive news: Despite DHL seemingly trying their hardest to derail my project, the replacement cover from Watercool arrived in one piece, due in no small part to the Watercool shipping...

I am now caught up. From here on out I intend to simultaneously update the build log here and on the hardforums

Oh, and to follow up on the dented radiator. Watercool demonstrated some excellent customer service. They replied to my email as soon as it was business hours in Germany, and asked if it was OK if they shipped me a new cover for me to install myself. I said that would be ideal, as shipping...
