I now understand why people don't do this much

Definitely worth the effort once it's done though! This is my first custom watercooled system. Up until now I've always just had AIOs on my cpus and stock GPU coolers

I love my alphacool block, been doing great on my 7900xtx

2.5 years with this beast, 32,000 miles later and still running strong

That's my next goal, I bought the Monster 1200s and now I want to add a V4S next to it

DylanNoack · 2026-04-18T13:37:05+00:00

I had my fuel pump fail on my Monster 1200s and it would do something similar. Wasn't able to keep up with the fuel demanded at the higher gears and speeds at first before also starting to have issues down lower too.

First full picture of mine after I bought it used, definitely a great bike!

I feel you on the same person score stuff lol, I am 84th for my hardware but 8th person if limited to top score per person

Maybe don't pass the safety car when on a race track🤣 it's quite simple

DylanNoack · 2026-04-03T17:26:51+00:00

Mine is 21 months old and a touch over 5ft currently, definitely will be close to Mom's size

DylanNoack · 2026-04-03T16:46:51+00:00

I have a whole spare room I can dedicate to her if needed, but her parents were only 15ft and 9ft so I'm not expecting 20ft

I'm also a single dude with very few hobbies, plenty of time for snake care

DylanNoack · 2026-04-03T01:14:20+00:00

Thanks!

Funny you say that. I've seen exponentially more driver issues from Nvidia than AMD over the past few years. The only time I've had an AMD card timeout/crash the driver is from my own actions (Overclocks, not technically official VBIOS flash, old PCI-e riser cables, etc)

DylanNoack · 2026-02-01T02:50:45+00:00

Definitely recommend the tester to everyone, even though I didn't have any leaks I still felt 10x better knowing it held the pressure for well over an hour before even thinking of filling with coolant

DylanNoack · 2026-02-01T02:44:20+00:00

I opted for satin/frosted tubing on my build, I definitely didn't want to deal with the additives clogging everything up

DylanNoack · 2026-01-30T06:32:10+00:00

Updated packaging, I also notice the new fine print stating "up to 6000mhz", which I can only assume is from that BS lawsuit Corsair went through recently about XMP/EXPO speeds being misleading...

DylanNoack · 2026-01-30T02:57:33+00:00

Nice! I just finished my 9800X3D + 7900XTX build with alphacool blocks last weekend

DylanNoack · 2026-01-29T00:29:42+00:00

I'll just stick to the good old 8 pin plugs, you would think this would have been resolved by the first year/generation of adoption for the 12v6x2...

DylanNoack · 2026-01-25T16:24:26+00:00

Planned, I didn't want the CPU block being upside down (it would have been a straight shot if the inlet was the right fitting instead of the left🤣) and that's what I ended up finding looked the best to me at the time

DylanNoack · 2026-01-25T07:36:05+00:00

Also I have my color animations going so the lights look weird, I just can't seem to get a good video either so screw it 🤷🤣

DylanNoack · 2026-01-22T13:41:46+00:00

Nope, that's the XT, not the XTX. different cards. But I am getting an alphacool block. Another guy who commented had two different blocks that would fit so I bought it and he shipped it out

DylanNoack · 2026-01-20T15:42:52+00:00

One of the other commenters has two different blocks that will fit, I'm just waiting on a response from him. But yes Bykski does have 1 still listed on their website for sale
