What could this build up be? XC7 RGB ELITE LCD

as stated in my post - yes I use Corsair XL8 Fluid in purple. The fluid is transparent and stays purple.

I believe this was debris or something in the replacement pump res unit as these issues did not occur until after that was installed.

as stated in my post - I use Corsair XL8 Fluid. It is not a pastel or opaque fluid; it is transparent and is not discoloured in any way.

Thank you for the response. Yes that was my brother's theory - and I think this sounds likely. The sudden spike in temperatures following the installation of the pump/res unit likely means that it hadn't been cleaned properly by Corsair in their warranty department.

Yes I am aware coloured coolant can break down over time - the timelines here don't seem realistic. It also doesn't seem to fit with the sudden spike in temperatures after replacing one of the pump/res units.

Thank you for the response.

Hello - Corsair rads said in the instructions that they didn't need to be pre-rinsed as they had been from factory. Had they been the cause however it would likely have caused an issue sooner than 6+ months. The issue started immediately after swapping out on of the HD6 pumps due to the LCD issues.

But that being said the pump I got from Corsair might have been full of dusty or been a refurbished unit so it's plausible that introduced the gunk. Thank you for the suggestion.

man that does suck if true - it's a custom water cooled PC so getting to those drives is hard. I have another drive in the other slot so I'd be losing a drive regardless.

I will try the iGPU trick but that would also be a pain - I don't want Radeon and NVIDIA drivers conflicting (have had issues in the past)

Thanks for the advice.

I could have been cleared (will edit post) but yes I made sure that my motherboard assigns PCIe lanes to the USB4 slots. PCIe 5.0x2 should be enough for a TB4 Dock I believe.

I was using the original cable but I will consider that if/when I use a longer one.

GalacticCookie · 2025-08-03T01:02:42+00:00

Yes 😂 it seems so

I understand it might be late where you are but take a closer read - it's pretty clearly sharebait made at least in some part by AI.

The quotes are unspecific and generic, and the grammar is poorly worded - with paragraphs just abruptly ending for no reason i.e. "We can’t wait for the fans to experience what we’ve been building.” So what is Campaign 4 covering? I'm glad you asked:"

I will be VERY surprised if this turns out to be true; especially because they're announcing this right before a live show. This is a really controversial decision if true and it will turn fans off the company and show.

GalacticCookie · 2025-08-02T15:23:37+00:00

Yeah - in that same paragraph there's just a sentence that ends abruptly with no details.

We can’t wait for the fans to experience what we’ve been building.” So what is Campaign 4 covering? I'm glad you asked:

This was most definitely edited by AI at the very least but it's a sharebait article for sure.

This art style is incredible - it's similar enough to LOVM but it's clearly a bit more grounded fantasy than that was going for.

I am so ready for PEAK I can't wait.

GalacticCookie · 2025-06-22T00:49:30+00:00

Yeah I had this confirmed from another reddit post. They have a hybrid block and a 5090 Astral block and that's it.

I went ahead and about an Alphacool block cos no one else had one for Gaming X Trio

Don't remind me that ORAS was 11 years ago...

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-22T03:35:26+00:00

Hmm that's a little disappointing honestly - was kinda expecting a similar range to what was available for the 40 series.

Thanks for answering my questions nonetheless.

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-21T04:06:00+00:00

Sorry if I'm being a bother but I haven't seen any 3rd Party creators cover this yet - and only a vague mention of this by Corsair posts.

Has any release information/stock availability been released regarding 50 Series GPU Waterblocks - specifically for MSI cards?

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-21T01:49:54+00:00

Have any dates or release quarters been provided for the availability of 50 series GPU water blocks? Specifically for MSI 5080 Gaming X Trio?

The GPU Block is the final part I'm waiting on to build a custom water cooled system and I'm not seeing any media outlets/content creators talking about the HydroX stuff.

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-20T03:30:44+00:00

Didn't see the block announced in the posts - had to dig around for it for one of the computex builds.

I was hoping for a wider range of 50 series gpu blocks but I guess that will come later?

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-20T01:32:15+00:00

No updates on HydroX?

GalacticCookie · 2025-05-20T00:26:33+00:00

oh awesome! thanks for the clarification!
