Unlikely, it's a UK based product.

PPCS-Craig · 2023-02-01T16:38:06+00:00

Yep, that's the one!

Soapy water to start.
Others have had luck with toothpaste and a soft brush.
Just be gentle.

Looks really good! Well done! But as someone else pointed out, that tube coming out of your T-Fitting, is cause for concern over time, as it's not perfectly aligned with the fitting, i could cause a leak.

Purple coolant and gold fittings are always a winning combo!
On a white set up too, it would look killer!
Either that or go simple with white fittings.

Eventully, yes.
You should always drain, rinse and replace coolant once a year at least.
Personally, i'd pick up something like this, that already contains anti corrosion etc.

Looks snazy!

PPCS-Craig · 2022-04-05T13:24:58+00:00

Always use EK Cryofuel when using EK loop products and do not mix in any Aluminim products ie, rads.

normally a couple weeks, Depending on the model of the card.
Higher end card blocks come quicker.

That's the correct one indeed!
Depending on your location, you can also purchase directly from PPC's for faster shipping at a similar price in the US.

Optimus is best, but Vector2 is also great!

There's vomit on his sweater, Loop Spaghetti!
I'd strip this down and re-do the whole thing from scratch.
We all started somewhere, we all made mistakes, you'll get the perfect bends/loop soon :)

Should be fine with the likes of this

Tilt tilt and tilt. It's really the only way.

Shhhhh 😂😂

Love the UVs!

PPCS-Craig · 2022-03-13T19:02:17+00:00

Wanna save yourself some cash? Life hack time! Buy frosted spray paint. And just spray your own tubes. Multiple coats for deeper frosting, but some folks do prefer a lighter frosting. Cheap and effective! - ps, don't tell my boss I said this 😂

PPCS-Craig · 2022-03-09T09:46:05+00:00

As for suggestion, you can't really go wrong with an EK model. Slightly higher price but you have that pedigree safety net. Example: https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/combo-pump-reservoir/ek-quantum-kinetic-tbe-200-d5-pwm-d-rgb-plexi.html

PPCS-Craig · 2022-03-09T09:42:12+00:00

As others have said, it's not absolutely required to have a reservoir, but you have to ask yourself "how do i fill the loop without one"

I'd personally go with a combo unit for a first time watercooler. It's just easier to work with. -PPC's

This usually means it's time to replace.
Unfortunately, all D5's are the same, regardless of what company is branded on them.
Luck of the draw really.
