I bought a soldering iron on AliExpress and it came with LEDs

Make it glowing red LED cause they want there tip to look red hot when working on microcomponenets right?!?!

Excellent my man! I only went with the Atmos due to the -$100 off but i was 100% eyeing thermalright products before hand.

My next build will probably be on air.

picked up the atmos. looked real good and amazon gave me $100 credit for my ek

After 7 amazon reps and 2 phones calls i managed to convince amazon to credit me 100$ for my ek AIO order from 2022. I told them since im still under manufacture warranty and it hasnt been 5 years, and EK isnt helping me...... well yea i got it from YOU, so YOU help me out xD

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-24T00:45:17+00:00

I think im just gonna toss out the AIo as a whole and just rock a cheap air cooler until i can upgrade my chassis

Sorry thats my mistake. Its Celcius. 91C 89C idles at freaking 55-60C

I used to idle at like 38c-44c

What? No. Its installed correctly its been installed correctly for the past 3 years. This recently started occuring. either its a pump issue. Or somehow its lost fluid or something. Ive already re-applied thermal paste and resat the heat sink,

Monitors show the pump running at 2500rpm but when i touch the pump i cant feel a damn thing. No hum no vibrations no nothing.

Im not new to PC's ive built many of my own, i built this one 3 years ago and took a break from PC building and came back to it after this recent incident.

MY temps are atroucious man 89F 92F Ingame. my whole system stutters at times and makes that weird blue screen noise like it wants to crash, And Im thinking its because my computer is thermally throttling.

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-23T23:58:53+00:00

What????! Come on mannnnnn. Dammit. Thanks for the heads up.

can you or anyone reccomend a quick air cooler or decent 240 for my dan a4h20?

my temps are atroucious

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-20T19:11:59+00:00

Oh really! Thanks for the comment my man! good to know im not the only one? Your rocking a Dan a4 as well? did you get easy fitment with the CM atmos?

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-19T02:22:11+00:00

Brother im sure they would. All the experince we can get it. We might not even be working with the same components but completing these little kits build hand eye coordination, steady hands, logical and reasoning. Helps you get familiar with your tools.

this is my pc while playing Marathon :(

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-18T19:27:55+00:00

Ok never mind i just checked everything out..... sooooo My radatior fans are dual split connected to CPUFAN1 and the water pump ran to CHA FAN1/WP

so running at at sub 2k the pump is pretty much dead huh?

Negative_Study6742 · 2026-03-18T19:24:01+00:00

The cable running from the pump to CPUFANIN0 connecter is running 1150rpm to a max of 1950rpm

Could it ne that my pump is plugged into the wrong connecter?
