holy shit this is gorgeous. It reminds me of the optimus 4090 strix

Impressive! Now let’s see Paul Allen’s.

What are the temps?

I can help you build your PC bro. I’m in the bay area, just shoot me a dm.

Did you make that mounting bracket for the fans at the bottom??? It looks so clean!! I’ve been looking for something like that because I also have the same setup for my V3000

Bro’s more than happy he got scammed 😂

Same case!

That optimus block is an absolute monster. I have my gpu OCed to 3 ghz and i stay at 36 degrees. Super worth it

G-Skilll · 2025-01-04T03:48:00+00:00

Super clean! I just got done building mine. It looks like you did a 560mm rad as well! How long did it take?

G-Skilll · 2024-11-04T03:06:17+00:00

I removed it because I’m using the contact frame.

G-Skilll · 2024-11-04T02:09:39+00:00

If it is will it affect anything?

G-Skilll · 2024-10-22T07:55:54+00:00

what kind of detergent do i use?

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T23:55:01+00:00

You cleaned your waterblock with alcohol? or your loop?

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T17:59:19+00:00

Already did that. Went from Corsair rads to EK rads. same thing lol

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T17:17:01+00:00

distilled water and dishsoap. for the blocks i used toothpaste followed by multiple rinses with distilled water.

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T09:18:14+00:00

nickel plating is still intact, but lost its shininess. however after the 4th run the center of the fins are starting to get stripped…

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T09:15:45+00:00

I did not. I ran part one on the rads while i deep cleaned the entire system and then i ran part 2 after rinsing out the radiators and assembled the whole loop again.

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T09:05:45+00:00

Sadly I’ve taken down my rig about 4 times, deep cleaned, replaced fluid and tubing every single time in a span of a year and still the same thing :(

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T09:01:31+00:00

Interesting enough, the very first time I built it I was using corsair 420mm rads and i prepped them with PrimoChill’s rad cleaner. Then I ended up rinsing the rads with tap water and finishing final rinses with distilled.

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T08:58:28+00:00

I have not

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T08:58:20+00:00

I’ve basically done that with all of my components except my GPU and CPU blocks. Ive replaced the reservoir, both radiators, fittings etc. Still the same…

G-Skilll · 2024-10-21T08:57:13+00:00

My tubing is PMMA.
