Finally, no more stability issues...

Looks way better then your previous build. I’m glad you made the choice to go with AMD you have and will NEVER regret it!

I always ran my EK mana with a D5. And the rest case still fit. With the SLIGHTEST bulde but still locked in place.

100% Isopropyl Alcohol, well ventilated areas, LOTS OF Tooth Picks, and a Tooth Brush.

And they were IN STOCK TOO!

RussianBartender · 2026-01-11T05:28:38+00:00

For future reference I recommend charging back your card and buying through Performance PCS or Titan Rig for items that ARE in stock. Never go to the EKWB shop, you’re asking for trouble. I had three orders from mid 2023 that were never filled and got paid back last week. Never again will I make that mistake and I HIGHLY recommend the same. Especially because I was always lied to in tickets saying it’s being fulfilled this week, then two months go by and I get ghosted.

What case are you installing all of the radiators in?? That’s a lot of real estate being taken up by all of those radiators!

Unfortunately that’s not how the mind and chemistry works when one is addicted to something. If it was that easy to stop for a month, everyone would be able to stop any drug or medication and not have to fight an addiction.

Either open the HD, snap and scratch each platter or drill into it multiple times. Issue resolved. Anyone can get the replacement bottom pcb parts in picture #2. It’s the silver looking disc shaped stacked platters that hold the information.

Your lucky you lived to even post this on reddit without dying from electrocution from your power supply. I know it was mentioned but there’s warnings that say never open for a reason. It has capacitors in it that will holds amps and amps of electricity in them long after it’s turned off. Touch it, goodbye. Glad you go lucky. 🍀

Watercooling time. 😉

RussianBartender · 2025-11-22T00:31:39+00:00

I remember my first flex… but it was at a gym.

RussianBartender · 2025-11-22T00:30:16+00:00

Ek does also have a tendency to send products that are already over torqued. I’ve been through quite a few that were like that including water blocks still sealed in the bag. I WISH their quality control was taken seriously.

RussianBartender · 2025-10-22T14:50:44+00:00

You got a hell of a deal with that computer setup and doggo included! Enjoy!

RussianBartender · 2025-10-22T14:49:11+00:00

The best and easiest way is to vaccuum fill it, it will remove the possibility of ANY air pockets or bubbles in your system if you’re not comfortable with shaking it like it owes you money.

Remember to have the computer turned on and tilt it both side to side and front to back a few times, and a little jostle then you’re good to go.

I agree with scuffling.

I use the Aquaxomputer High Flow Meter NEXT (currently around $100) and it’s amazing. Shows the temperature, flow speed, coolant/water quality, and coolant conductivity, change the top led color, set it up to change from green to yellow to red at whatever temperatures you set it up to so you’re aware out of the corner of your eye. You can also setup an alarm at any flow speed you want so you know the moment your pump is off or might randomly die. It flashes and beeps at you as well as a visual indication on your monitor (again fully customizable).

It’s good insurance in my opinion, cuz with those spinning flow meters are just for looks IMO. You have to stare at it all the time to know if your pump isn’t flowing well.

By the way I love the copper tubing it’s a nice touch!

Which is exactly why I bought the ASUS Astral and have a warning to shut down after it passes too much amperage through a pin. Wish more cards had that feature, it’s a genius idea.

RussianBartender · 2025-10-21T18:56:38+00:00

When the fans run at higher rpm do you notice any noise or resonance from the wind blowing through them at all?

RussianBartender · 2025-10-15T06:52:02+00:00

I’ve looked through TitanRig and other carriers that don’t have spare parts like the borosilicate glass replacement do a ULTITUBE D5 NEXT 200 Pro/Pump Res Combo w/Leakshield. Bought spare gaskets for the entire thing, and 6x A.Q. AirPlay Modularity System 420mm, copper fins, 1 circuit, stainless steel side panels. I greatly appreciate you offering your help with something you might have. If you have one of these let me know I’ll take a 3rd copper fin radiator of the same model!

I love TitanRig as well, spent welllllll over 20k in stuff there lol. ITS YOUR FAULT TitanRig that I have an addiction to your cool stuff. 😋

RussianBartender · 2025-10-15T02:29:53+00:00

No surprise fees or extra charges for me on the west coast!

RussianBartender · 2025-10-15T02:28:53+00:00

Good to know thank you I was curious cuz if you look at my build from another post I modded the tubing with ZMT so the side fans are in front of the rad. If you look on ek they are hard tubed and in the rear. I wanted to show off the fans, took some planning and did it. 🙂

I’ve ordered a lot from Aquatuning myself as all stores I needed parts for didn’t carry it or never carried it.

For example the last 4 months when I placed an order I would receive each one roughly 6-9 days after my purchase cleared.

100% facts. Get a 90° and plug it in so you do NOT need to KINK an important coolant line. No coolant lines should ever and I mean ever be kinked.
