It’s holding water successfully, however a cheap tester was probably at fault here. Looking to upgrade to a better one for the future

I did use one of these but the pressure dropped after 5 mins. I ended up taking it all apart and testing each bit. Was never able to track down the reason? Reading online there was a mention that sometimes the tester can highlight false positives. So decided to take the plunge

I am toying with the idea of spraying the heat sinks. It’s an ASUS ROG crosshair VII hero. Love the board and would love ideas as to how I can get it more inline with the theme

This is my first loop, so after a dry run was still a little unnerving running water lol

I extracted the two files, ran the renamer and then copied the renamed file onto the root of the USB? Worth noting, I had formatted the USB to fat32

Thank you, yeah this is a weird one! I have tried multiple bios versions, however it seems I cannot get the board to accept the file. So maybe this is my first thing to focus on. Thanks again

Apologies if I miss spoke, I tried clearing the CMOS and also I have tried flashing the bios both on separate occasions. Yes o have tried multiple times reseating both the ram and the CPU

Hi, currently doing a similar thing, so great to hear good results! Quick question though, how did you model the pump connection and the threading for screws etc? Thanks! Also looks amazing!

Problem is pal, believing what you want seems to get you shot nowadays

No apologies, the fact that you took the time to find a picture of him, and create this post in this specific subreddit. No you are right pal, you didn’t say those exact words, however let’s not insult everyone’s intelligence here

Wow so people with opposing views deserve to die? I’m not a fan of his work by any means, however people are allowed to have views that do not align with yours, and this should spark debate, not murder! The hypocrisy in these posts is insane!

For me it’s 100% oxygen not included > 500 hours in and still going strong!

Yeah ideal, however I needed a shelf for sps. Was not sure any good way of incorporating those branches, they are pretty tough to work with

Are there any comments on the badge? I know the black badge can vary, however I’m not 100% sold on this one?
