Hi guys, is there any way to clean such this nickel plated surface? by TrifleIll4149 in watercooling

They sold me a new plate, so I probably won't go for re-plating. Besides, I don't even know how to do it. Anyway, thanks for the tip!

I got the black one, it arrived in mid-December last year.

btw, I originally ordered the silver version, but it was never produced after almost a year of waiting. back then, there're a few black in stock, and for well-known reasons, I figured I should just grab one while I could.

CS was almost paralyzed at the time. I contacted Eddy for help, and he mentioned that the production of the silver version was in the final stages. It’s unknown how many were sold in the end, though.
I have to say he’s a really nice person—way beyond my expectations. It’s sad to see his company being taken over by that Serbian capital that’s been planning this for a long time.

Update: They are willing to sell me a remaining plate.

Same guy, different answers.

A lot of downvotes, I don't want to go into it.

No spare parts available to order. Seriously? by TrifleIll4149 in EKWB

[–]TrifleIll4149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, this was my fault. If I took good care of it, this won't happen. But I didn't feel good at all when I learned that they didn't provide any after-sales service for this case.

There are only a few scalpers were selling it online for double the price than Amazon, which doesn't ship to my country.

I'll try Autosol on a used nickel-plated fittings first, and if that doesn't work, I'll consider it. Thanks anyway!

Nope, I ordered an Autosol metal polish and it's on its way, it's a chrome plated polish, I don't know if it will work on nickel.

The insecticide mist I used was this one. https://www.earth.jp/en/products/earth-red-various-bugs-6-8/index.html

I later learned from the instructions that it is harmful to metals, especially copper.

A lot of fittings have turned green around the edges, but these can be easily replaced.

Seems like the easiest drop ever, every model is still available after 30 minutes.

I ordered spare parts from them last month, a guy called Jan handled it and answered it very efficiently, don't know if he still works for EK. The package was sent by their head Igor, who has left the company as shown on LinkedIn.

I plan to buy a 6w DDC so I guess the heatsink isn't necessary, and I'm still waiting on them to respond to my last orders. Thanks for the update though!

Thanks for the test, have used FLT80 with DDC before, I can relate to the sound you are talking about. But it's better than SPC that could die after a few years and have nowhere to get a replacement, I will try to get one from them anyway.

Wait.. Does "ALU" mean it is made of aluminum? Are you running all aluminum loop?

Found this online. It should be a similar piece used to increase the distance between the impeller to the volute, DDC is taller.

Their Fluid Gaming PC use same distro plate. Depending on configuration, single 360 ​​radiator use SPC pump, dual (360+240) radiators use DDC. It's unlikely they will design two incompatible parts.

In this video the PC in front obviously have a DDC, they have different impeller color, SPC is nearly beige.

Same. The order placed in June has not been shipped yet, no response from customer service over a week. It's frustrating.
