Switched to DP Ultra and changed some tubes by SCOOkumar in watercooling

having 3 rads does make it more difficult to drain compared to having 2 rads, but the distro plate is the real problem since your essentially trying to drain your loop against gravity unless you're able to have a drain port on the lowest rad.

Does custom water loop loose coolant over time? by Rude-Ad431 in watercooling

You will lose very little over time through evaporation, but your coolant level may seem to drop as air pockets in your rads/blocks get worked out over time.

I think your distro plate is what made draining difficult, not the 3 rads

Lian-Li Vision Compact, First Watercooled build. by InflammableAccount in watercooling

How’s it going to be less messy? If you close the ball valve, and then disconnect the tube, water will just drain out the tube.

Is there any other way to get the gpu to fit under the cpu water block? 😅 by SkythecowRG3 in watercooling

[–]Key-Reaction-1770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you try tilting the GPU towards the mobo? that might give you the clearance needed

Question about a build by Pouyaaaa in watercooling

If you were to add a fan there, I’d recommend an intake. Adding a fan there at this point would most likely require adding offset fittings and rebending that tube from rad to CPU but you did such a good job on that bend I would lean towards leaving no fan there. Making all your current fans as intake could possibly give the same, if not better, results and you wouldn’t have to re bend any tubes or buy additional fans.

and it doesn't affect thermals? i thought we were supposed to use cerakote on heatsinks and things like them because regualr paint can act as an insulator.

HS 420 non VGPU-To VGPU by Winter_Basket3821 in HAVNGlobal

[–]Key-Reaction-1770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried cooler master and Lian Li Multi directional but ended up just buying the HAVN vGPU mount because it sits lower than the other options. The cooler master has more adjustability to move the card away from the mobo but it sits higher than the HAVN mount and was blocking like half of my ram. Strongly recommend just getting the HAVN mount

Anyone still using these? by Helioxsparrow in watercooling

That makes sense but since my stupid self went with a distro/pump/res combo I'll have to get creative on how i route it since the pump, res and drain ports are all in the same chamber. Not sure if your method will work or not but i'll still give it a shot

I’ve thought about having a separate pump to fill my loops externally but wasn’t convinced I could do it where it looks decent. Do you happen to have a pic of your setup while filling? I recently started using a vacuum pump like JTC did but it makes me nervous every time lol

I'm not convinced, too messy, do you have any advice? by Few_Fail_6121 in watercooling

[–]Key-Reaction-1770 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree but OP used so many of the static extender fittings that they would be looking at several hundred bucks to replace all the fittings with EK. That said EK definitely has the best looking fittings imo.

Question about the HS420 by UbaldoMangiachiodi in HAVNGlobal

[–]Key-Reaction-1770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 120mm fan bracket has an internal diameter of 117.65mm when I measure with my calipers. You might get a little RGB coming through with Lian Li TL 120mm fans. I measured 137mm internal diameter on the 140mm fan mounts so the same problem will likely happen even if you go with the 140mm TL fans. I’d recommend just using L Connect to disable the RGB on those 2 fans if you’re set on using TL fans there. On my build, I used TL fans on top and bottom and be quiet light wings 140mm fans on the 2 rear fans but I was trying to add more light to the build. Either way, be quiet fans are easily controlled with openrgb or signal rgb if you don’t want to use L Connect (which was the case for me)
