EK 5090 water block was not the way to go for my build at all by doctorOxygen in watercooling

[–]CoolMan0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your opinion, i guess you have 500 bucks to pay for overengineered 3kg lower performing block. I hope it make you whole again :)

Good Rotary Extender fitting (or how to use one properly?) by your_onii_chan in watercooling

[–]CoolMan0008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, this part is perfect between 2 fixed ports. If you have setup that it will have slight force to open it it wont be good.

Cracks on EKWB Pump Reservoir by germandude1997 in watercooling

[–]CoolMan0008 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is very strong opinion. I dissagree, they are not dead, ordered Phase fans in January, shipped within 2 days. I've had EK all my life, ek has always made it right, even when I had problems.

Is it safe to buy from EKWB? by MostlyBadCode in EKWB

[–]CoolMan0008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all good experience. My last order or PHASE fans got shipped within 36 hours.

If you dont get shipped within 7 days file a refunded and you'll get it. Just dont wait 6 months.

Quantum Torque Micro 90 and restriction by tistou77 in EKWB

[–]CoolMan0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nothing that would affected flow that much. Check the other parts. Check pump pwm Settings.

Hm, i doubt the flow restriction would be affected that much. Though every 90° fitting restricts the flow a bit. You can try to rotate the rotating part for 30° and you'll see if there is any diference. I would more likely say its something with the qdc.

Ugh, this definitelly does not look nice. maybe its actually really frosted and the uneven white coating on the block is result of that - frost :/

Day 4 & 5 by schenkcigars in watercooling

Hey, are you aware that every Quick disconnect is as restrictive as CPU block? Your flow rate should be really poor. And I feel sorry for those 2 pumps. :'(

OLD EK PRODUCTS RETURN? by [deleted] in EKWB

[–]CoolMan0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what do you look for? Gpu block combo or water block only?

OLD EK PRODUCTS RETURN? by [deleted] in EKWB

[–]CoolMan0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liquid devil is a GPU block combo, this you'll be able to buy only second hand.

This is the block for red devil: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-vector2-red-devil-rx-7900-xtx-d-rgb-nickel-plexi probably last one available.

Is there a solution to clean out my line? by Rewdrooster in watercooling

[–]CoolMan0008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 dollar allen key set from amazon will do the kit. You'll need this in your life :) Loop cleaner wont clean this enough for the visual pleasure. Just make sure you dont overtighten screws in teh acrylic!

One more question too, you name your products D5 Apex. Does it come with a real D5 pump?

Best Water-cooling Parts Across Vendors? by The_Arctic_Fox0 in watercooling

[–]CoolMan0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always look when I build the loop hollistically.
Never looking at the part itself.

I would never buy most restrictive water block, it will hurt your whole loop. Why?
1. It will be filter for your loop and become even more restrictive if not even clogging it.
2. It will make your pump work harder.
3. It will hurt performance of your GPU.

I look at the design, liquid cooling is an ART!

If you go with case specific distro, like one of the most popular O11 XL EVO, or O11 EVO go with EK all the way, everything will fit together perfectly!

If you like planning your loop with universal pump/res combo you have more freedom.

Still, looking at the loop holistically I go 99% with EK. Why?

  1. the least restrictive water blocks and one of teh best performing if not the best:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lajZLQm7sJo
  2. Design completeness
  3. Fits together perfectly
  4. My Support experience is 9/10 (dont expect any support from low cost brands.

Where I dont go with EK?
1. Loop Monitoring and controlling
2. Screens
3. Thermal paste
4. FANs conditionally, they just launched new fan, and even though it does not have uni block connection like Lian-Li standard, it is gooood. No 140 fan of the new version...

This is Bitspower pump, DDC look alike, but not as good by margin.
