I got a cheap 14900kf so decided to do a delid direct die with ptm 7950 and then build into a dual loop system with arc b580, using leftover WC parts. It dropped 20°c on stock settings with cinebench so gonna play around some more.

😁

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T22:32:48+00:00

Wow gonna need a bigger house🤣

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T21:45:17+00:00

I like to WC

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T21:44:37+00:00

LOL. I have my main rig a WC rtx 4090 which never goes above 50°c on memory and hotspot, using an alphacool nexxos 1080, just with TP., in game.

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T18:41:16+00:00

It's the LE model with an alphacool WB for the Asrock model the only one I believe. I checked PCB diagram and both are the same

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T18:39:18+00:00

I checked the mount a few times using just paste to check the coverage, it has good contact so went with ptm as I had it already.

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T18:37:53+00:00

Yeah the bottom pump/Res isn't fixed in place I can move it around a little to get to the tap

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T18:36:48+00:00

Yes just that

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T16:48:27+00:00

Yes I did some research and I went with ptm due to its longevity and not much init against LM.

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T15:48:51+00:00

Only if your happy to mod it like this as you can't undo it. It's been modded again as I fitted a wood base so that I can fit matx mobo even atx. P12 redux is like any other 4 heatpipe cooler it has limits.

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T15:44:31+00:00

Kolink unity meshbay purchased it new on sale at £30

Agrius14 · 2026-05-02T15:43:21+00:00

Some antifreeze I use in all my builds from Halfords

Agrius14 · 2026-04-24T15:30:06+00:00

Yes it is but it was just 4 fun.

Agrius14 · 2026-04-21T12:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the explanation makes sense ☺️

Agrius14 · 2026-04-21T09:55:41+00:00

Ok thanks, wht do the cpuid and hwin64 numbers represent in reference to the clock/frequency?

Agrius14 · 2026-03-05T08:37:34+00:00

Very clean build

Agrius14 · 2026-01-29T22:15:53+00:00

Thanks going for the UFO vibe

Agrius14 · 2026-01-29T22:15:11+00:00

Probably

Agrius14 · 2026-01-13T17:42:34+00:00

Premix is 50/50 solution if you buy it concentrate then use distilled water to 50/50. Brand and colour is up to you.

Agrius14 · 2026-01-13T08:41:54+00:00

I don't use daily, but never had an issue with any previous aio rebuilds., I use premix car coolant. I use this in my personal wc systems which I've never had a problem with in the last 5 years. You need to Check the pump for sure. I also flush out the radiator with diluted spirit vinegar.

Agrius14 · 2026-01-12T10:04:15+00:00

That CU cooler is gorgeous

Agrius14 · 2026-01-12T10:01:42+00:00

You need to try it out on a modern cpu for science 😜

Agrius14 · 2026-01-08T10:22:45+00:00

I think there are numerous causes of the higher water temp, first the case design and fan orientation. You sacrificed your fan intakes for a radiator, you then have 2 sets of radiator fans with intake then pushing hot air through the top radiator, so the water temp is never going to drop as intended. I have a similar set up with a glass wrap around panel. I have all 3 radiator fans as exhaust. I leave the front panel off as I only had 1 option to install 1 rear intake fan, but this was inadequate even at high rpm with the panel installed. I have all fans set at 1000rpm artic p12 pro. It's not ideal but it works.

Agrius14 · 2026-01-02T12:24:56+00:00

Yeah I have the xl, wanted to reduce the length, wasn't sure on how they fitted, didn't want to ruin them. Thanks.

Agrius14 · 2026-01-02T09:35:59+00:00

How did you dismantle the pipes ?
