I had originally planned on making my own brackets from ABS for the reservoir mounting, but in a moment of weakness I thought "why reinvent the wheel" and ordered those too. They arrived last week, and I installed them yesterday. The bracket comes with these screw in pins: The pins then...

Spent some time opening Noctua fan boxes, installing black vibration pads, and installing them on the first radiator bracket last night. Unlike most radiator screws, Watercool has gone with a short screw that only goes through the side of the fan that is closest to the radiator, unlike the...

@LeRoy_Blanchard This is actually way nicer than I expected. I have one of these Noctua 200mm fans in my testbench build already (in the front of a Phanteks Enthoo Pro case (I had to Dremel it down a bit to make it fit) but I had forgotten that they come with a detachable cable. Once you...

The first 9 200mm fans came in. I was going to order them all at once, but the seller with the best price only had exactly 9 left in stock, so I figured that would do for now. I keep forgetting how massive these things car. Die Coke (sorry, once again no banana) for scale. I'm undecided...

Yep!

Trust me, I know. I have 24 fans in my current build. It is a bloody nightmare to get right whenever I have to break into it. I do like the modern fans that have those little push connectors to link together many fans on radiators though. I had that idea years and years ago, and posted it...

Honestly, since I have no experience at all with MO-RA radiators I don't have a clue what to expect from a water temp perspective. Yes, these new MO-RA IV 600's are huge but at the same time they are also the lowest fin density of any radiator I've owned, and thus designed for use with low...

Thank you, I appreciate you checking! I have never worked with 3-phase. I imagine that is more complicated due to the phases not being perfectly offset by 180 degrees.

For what it is worth, I just reviewed the pictures I took back when I put the water block on my 4090. It appears as if at least MSI still used the same mini-fan headers, at least as of the 40-series. With any luck, the AIB 5090's will do the same. Even if I see a connector like this -...

User pendragon1 over at the hardforums suggested the FreezeMod DDC pump as an alternative. I spent hours searching and this one never came up. I swear to god Amazon is manipulating search results to try to hide inexpensive products from me and only show me expensive ones. I'm still not...

@Brian_B You never know who you are talking to online, and what their expertise is. If you are confident I have gotten the above wrong, I'd love to hear it. As mentioned, I am not a pro, and if I missed somethign despite all of my research on the topic, I'd love to be set straight before I...

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...
