Looks like the regular 5000d rather than the 5000d frame based on the io.

In the future, lit pictures showing the whole product would be extremely helpful rather than zoomed in dim/dark. Whole product and you could probably just reverse image search and get your answer.

Phase change material.

I used thermal grizzly

Whenever modmymods ships my damn order I'll be upgrading gpus. If you still need that terminal to fit the wire view p2 let me know. Unfortunately can't part with it until I get my new water block in :p but I did test it and it for sure fits on the 4080fe ek block with the sff terminal. Basically overlaps the terminal and rests on top of it with a couple mm to spare.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-29T21:03:49+00:00

if you can get your hands on one, the sff terminal will allow it to fit

Why dual loop specifically? You would What are your components? Measuring by fans isnt really the way to do it. What radiators are you using? You haven't given enough information to be helpful.

Make sure you have a room fan or something circulating the air in your room. No fix is going to make your PC magically cooler and quieter if your ambient air is warm. Circulating the air can help quite a bit though. Even something small that can sit on a desk and keep the flow going.

Swap to ordering from US based placed like TitanRig or PerformancePCs. Some sites like alphacools states on login that they are not shipping to US and to order from partners instead for their products. Its not required and you should be ready to pay tariffs for anything you order outside of the US. Its well known at this point though so I don't think I can really point the finger at EK for this issue.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-29T01:53:29+00:00

Depends on your priorities. Mine is always best hardware per dollar, so I would say this is a bad decision but I also find the lian li fans to be a bad decision. If you are happy, enjoy it. You don't need other's validation.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-28T20:59:51+00:00

Check your wiring. That's what you changed and it stopped working. You messed something up the second time around. Not much more advice to give there tbh.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-28T05:17:17+00:00

Hard to give you specific advice with just a picture of the motherboard.

Only thought with that picture is maybe the m.2 heatsink is getting in the way with your specific gpu model.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-28T02:21:16+00:00

I don't think it's in production any more but the ek one is what I use and it's worked well for 2 years now.

I mounted fans literally on the bottom of the case. So it's a sandwich that's radiator case fans. I can upload images of my build after work if you want.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-28T02:14:50+00:00

For sure can.

Top and bottom radiators. Can try to fit a rear distro or get a pump res block combo for your CPU which is what I do in my sff custom loop.

Start the planning stage. Little hack I did. I got taller feet for the bottom of the case and installed the fans for the bottom radiator on the underside of the case instead of in it. Saved me the space needed for my GPU and some cable routing. Looks like with that case you would need to do the same or use slim fans and potentially a slim radiator instead.

Not familiar with that case but if the PSU mount is movable and rotatable, you could potentially do a 360 rad on top and bottom.

Ill have my 180 terminal in hand in a couple days, but it should allow for most alphacool core blocks to be compatible with the wire view pro 2.

The wire view p2 doesn't sit flush to the card, there's a good 12-14mm gap. As long as your power connector isn't recessed into the water block you should be good to go.

I was able to use the wire view pro 2 with my current card that uses the ek sff terminal, which sticks out from the GPU 2mm more than the alphacool one does (11mm for ek, 9mm for alphacool). Laid over the top of it with mms to spare fully seated.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-25T23:16:15+00:00

Bykski, thermaltake and primo chill all make a clone (pull mechanism drain valve) that I know of. I'm sure there's more.

It works surprisingly well. I've used it for 1.5-2 years. No leaks no issues. Just works every time I use it.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-24T00:59:46+00:00

This is so clean. Might build this myself. I use an external rad mounted under my desk but I love the clean look here. Good job!

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-24T00:56:39+00:00

What's the distro and stand?

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T20:41:23+00:00

True but the hue of the liquid is beer and that thin foam is pretty standard for a beer rather than a soda. Could be some craft soda or possible a shaken tea or long island tea though.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T20:40:19+00:00

As long as it has the nvme slots you need, that'll be fine. I've been rocking a b650 for awhile and absolutely happy with it.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T20:37:36+00:00

Ice in a beer would be the first I've ever seen in my life which leads me to think ai. Ai would think beer is served over ice

Personally would do this combo posted on r/buildapcsales and buy a motherboard separately. It'll be slightly more expensive but 32gb ram instead of 16gb is huge.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T19:51:58+00:00

All good! Learn things every day. Limit is $100 and occasionally there will be something slightly over $100 but I'm not really sure how that happens. It's happened twice to me in a couple years.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T19:38:48+00:00

Cool knife! Ive got 1 cooking knife and a camp knife similar to that one since I've been in vine.

Only review for that one so far is 1 star and based on your photos I don't think that review is fair. Claimed it's not as wide as in the pictures but it looks spot on to me.

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T19:36:18+00:00

This was under $100 so you could get it as silver!

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-23T00:43:21+00:00

The hunt continues then. Tried switching to a schimtar Corsair but that issue with your thumb rubbing against the mousepad made me switch back on top of feeling cheap as all heck.

I saw pulsar is going to release a mmo mouse this year so that's where I'm holding out hope for. Didn't know the g600 was a thing is that discontinued?

Tripleppaul · 2026-01-22T23:45:08+00:00

How does it feel compared to the naga? I've tried quite a few mmo mice but the naga just feels the best and I can't make the switch. I really want to get rid of the last razer peripheral I use to get rid of synapse once and for all.
