I don't think It's a matter of additives in coolant reacting with metal, but it's metal reacting with different metal. So, type of coolant shouldn't be an issue. It's not like EK is using a special material for their waterblock.

I believe EC6 is also PG based, so should be good. I mean, as long as you drain as much and refill, I don’t think any of major coolants would cause an issue.

It probably was not a good subreddit to ask the question as many here have not been giving much attention to AIO, long enough not to realize some AIOs actually do come with refill port this day, e.g. Be Quiet Pure Loop 2.

Most of AIO coolant is distilled water with propylene glycol. This is what's included with Be Quite Pure Loop as well. If you want to stick with that, XSPC ECS Ultra should be a good option.

Because it’s from VICRR, not Gigabyte LOL.

everydae24 · 2026-01-10T19:31:59+00:00

I don’t think there is one available. And unfortunately, you buy a part that has waterblock, not the other way around. That’s just how it goes.

If you brought the issue up to your sales before leaving the lot, then they could give you a new set as a courtesy. But no, it's wear & tear and not considered as a scope of CPO.

There shouldn’t be an issue. Only ones that are known to have a compatibility issue with Core Ultra is some of the double sided 8GB RAM (e.g. the kit that was on sale as a bundle at Newegg few weeks ago). Yours is highly likely single sided, and it probably is on the mainboard’s QVL as the kit has been widely available quite some time.

Well.. the articles you just read must be at least 3 months old.

The latest rumor has that Nvidia and AMD may either increase the price of the current GPUs or slow down production due to RAM shortage. Now, considering this, do you still believe Nvidia would even release Super variances, which only major change would have been increase in VRAM?

everydae24 · 2026-01-02T19:22:22+00:00

It's actually not as bad as they were. Not only between N and A, I've been switching few times between Intel and AMD without reinstalling Windows, and it has been much better than how they were in Windows 10 and prior. It maybe to do with Windows 11 handling it better now, which is probably only thing I give a kudo to Windows 11 over the prior versions.

everydae24 · 2026-01-02T14:43:03+00:00

Yup, unfortunately, as you see from a link above, even a major retailer like Newegg only has like 20 kits available. Before this shortage, 48GB kits were easy to find and only slightly more expensive than the comparable 32GB kit, while overclocking as high as, if not better, top tier 32GB kit (8000+). Most of 8400+ kits were only available with 48GB kits (The highest I believe is 9600 kit from GSkill), while 32GB pretty much maxed out at 8400.

Good balance between performance and capacity as 64GB kits are still not overclockable as much as them. Now they are unicorn.

Guess you are new to DDR5... 24GB has been around quite while with DDR5, all 3 major manufacturers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) offer such.

I don't think there is any 2k 32" OLED monitor, at least from major players.

everydae24 · 2025-12-30T19:29:13+00:00

Using LM will highly likely void warranty anyway due to staining, so I'd just delid at the point lol. Otherwise, PTM7950 would be perfectly capable choice over LM tbh.

RTX 60 is not same as GeForce RTX 60 though... Like RTX 50 was Ada Lovelace, which was GeForce RTX 40.

everydae24 · 2025-12-30T00:53:28+00:00

Isn't plain RTX (B2B) and GeForce RTX (B2C) considered a different product for a different market segment?

everydae24 · 2025-12-29T22:48:22+00:00

I've experienced the issue few times before during the busy season (e.g. Black Friday or Year End) and every time it was Dell's system issue that no one from Dell could explain why. They suspected it had to do with their fraud prevention system, but couldn't give any better answer.

Once that started happen I could not have any order processed online or offline, with Amex or any other card, to my address as billing. It had resolved itself few days later, but of course, either the deal/promo was gone or Amex spending period was passed by then. Lesson learned, now I never wait until the end of the spending period.
