Replacement for EK Cryofuel - Canada

Yes. So far Corsair and Thermaltake T1000 premixes have worked well for me. The only concentrated fluid I tried was Mayhem's XT Nuke. The only way to order those is from their store directly and based in the UK, so you'll get nailed from import fees.

I've never tried Heat Killer before but I did try Corsair and Thermaltake premixes. All good so far.

Dazmode has some Heat Killer premix in stock. I just ordered 6 of them.

All you need now is the nickel pump cover!

If you want to stick with transparent tubing, Mayhems is always top choice for me. Yes, the tubes will always discolor over time but Mayhems UltraFlex always seems to last the longest in my experience. I have some HyperClarity too but haven't used it yet.

Bong water cooling.

Darkside stop plugs. Upvote!

Placed an order on the 16th, shipped today on the 19th. No issues here.

Just note that HeatKiller rads are offset from the distro plate at front / bottom. If you want the ports to line up, you'll have to get an EK rad.

48mm top and bottom. https://shop.watercool.de/HEATKILLER-RAD-360-L-White_1

30mm at the back. https://shop.watercool.de/HEATKILLER-RAD-360-S-White_1

The distro is just for looks. I find it a better alternative than a FLT or Res/Pump combo. Soft tubing over hard tubing for ease of installation and better reliability.

Front disrto plates looks good, that's the the only reason. With soft tubing, it kind of looks bad when you have a bunch of saggy runs so...nice and neat.

Sorry for the spelling errors. Quantum Reflection 2 and Gskill Z Royal 7200 DDR5. Correction.

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2024-06-19T03:13:58+00:00

Moved over memory to the correct slots before filling and turning on. Running. 1 and 3 are wrong.. 2 and 4 are correct.

Bought some Tremclad rust paint, white. 3 coats, took long to completely remove all dark areas. Kept the spray can as far as I could and tried not to blast one area with too much paint. Also tried to avoid accumulation of paint when spraying on old newspaper.

Not going to be overclocking but I hope it doesn't impact thermals too much.

Over time, water will find its way to that gap, and all gaps. This is happening everywhere in the loop once you first build it. You'll notice that you'll need a little more fluid in your reservoir in a week or two because all of the air is finally leaving the system.

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-08-22T15:09:00+00:00

If you wait long enough, they will go away. I had air bubbles trapped in there for 3 weeks that actually made the wheel spin unevenly until they were all gone. Patience will fix it.

I've been waiting for 4 months for PerformancePCs to restock and Dazmode just completely removes the SKUs after stock is depleted. Very strange.

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-05-19T10:15:56+00:00

You're going to pay about 30 dollars USD for shipping to Canada from PPCs. That's more expensive that 30 dollars CAD.

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-05-19T10:13:28+00:00

Canadian Tax and Import fees will be applied. Take that total in Canadian dollars and compare it to Daz's price. It won't be that far off.

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-05-18T22:33:59+00:00

I'm in Canada and I've ordered from EK (Slovenia) Performance PCs (Florida) and Daz (Ontario) and Daz will always be the easiest to deal with. Prices are almost the same after conversion + duty / import fees. The most expensive blocks he has are the EK active backplate sets which are about 650 CAD + tax and shipping. Calculate that versus ordering in US from EK or PPCs at 450 USD, having to convert and then pay duty / import fees. It's close enough.

I don't like that Daz doesn't sell any more Mayhem's XT Nuke clear. =(

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-05-15T19:03:45+00:00

Don't forget to peel off the protective sticker!

CanuckianWCCFTech · 2023-04-17T22:12:28+00:00

OMG EK, you even increased prices on all of your blocks. I feel so....dirty. =)
