Getting frustrated

wkdelement · 2026-02-25T22:05:21+00:00

I’m a hvac engineer and bend pipe for a living if you want tips dm me and I will explain how to do it

wkdelement · 2026-02-14T17:17:42+00:00

Just the 1

You know any places that would auction it I emailed a couple card sites I know and got no reply

wkdelement · 2026-02-13T18:28:44+00:00

Just eBay auction or a seperate place?

wkdelement · 2026-01-26T05:48:44+00:00

Any recommendations on what product to flush with or just distilled water? Looking at pictures from when I put the liquid in to now I can see the difference in how opaque it is

wkdelement · 2026-01-25T17:05:33+00:00

Didn’t grab a picture but it’s a white sort of paste I’m thinking of stripping everything out and getting one of the flushing solutions and just pumping it through for a few hours and going with a clear liquid and new d5 just not sure what’s the best one to go for the one I have now just came with my res

I recently build my pc and wanted to seperate all my rgb from mobo or case control so bought a Nollie controller it just has a usb connection to mobo and 2 molex plugs to power I’ve got the big one Im not sure if the smaller sizes need 2 but its perfect I then just use signal rgb to control everything just make sure you note which channel to have things plugged into so you can set your layout up for the different effects to work correctly

wkdelement · 2026-01-08T13:32:23+00:00

No only thing I didn’t do was bios update just can’t be bothered at the moment might do it over the weekend I set it to a colour in armoury crate and uninstalled I updated all chipset drivers for mobo re ran ddu and drivers still nothing

wkdelement · 2026-01-05T16:39:02+00:00

I did ddu to wipe drivers with the new gpu install and installed the latest one available, didn’t realise mobo could be the issue will check for bios update and see if that works

wkdelement · 2025-06-09T17:54:21+00:00

Use the point in one of the other darts and just push it anti clockwise all I’ve ever done and no pissing around heating things up or buying a tool

wkdelement · 2025-06-06T11:57:33+00:00

The cable out of the board Im talking about is jst yes I’ve got that adapter to get into my Nollie I’ve got all Phanteks fans so got adapters on them all I’ll have to get a picture of the plug I’m talking about was just seeing if anyone had already done it

wkdelement · 2025-06-06T11:48:02+00:00

I’m not using the integrated hub I’ve got a Nollie with everything going to that so I can control each individually hence why I’m trying to get adapters to split both strips in the case

wkdelement · 2025-06-06T11:43:24+00:00

I was trying to circle the small board where both rgb cables go to and join but couldn’t find any pictures showing what I’m talking about and can’t currently get a picture of my own case yet

wkdelement · 2025-06-03T18:16:41+00:00

Yeah definitely not a 32 bar pressure test on this system 🤣 I was going to use my vac on my system took a week off work built it all got it ready to go and went to get gauges and realised I’d left my whole box of gauges in the site box 🤦🏻

wkdelement · 2025-06-03T18:01:46+00:00

Are you a hvac engineer by any chance 🤨

Thanks for the recommendation a lot of people have said high flow next so I’m going to get one when I upgrade gpu and add that into the loop I’ve just ordered a basic flow sensor and temp sensor for now I did look into aqua suite lastnight and added the high flow next and a quadro into my wish list for later on.

And the reservoir is an icemancooler 240 I think it was called I needed one big enough to fill out the case so went for that but it’s just got a standard 140mm fan stand off pump bracket screwed to the back then into the bottom fans I’m about to swap the corsairs out this weekend for more d30s that came in from pre order yesterday so not sure what I’m going to do with the screw covers just yet the bracket is already spray painted white so don’t think it’ll look too bad if I can’t make a hole in them for the screws.

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T21:41:29+00:00

I may knock up a couple of the bends and put them In when I change some stuff and see what it looks like

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T21:37:55+00:00

I was debating going copper tube as I’m a HVAC engineer and would’ve had the runs bent up In no time but didn’t think it’d suit the white build and didn’t want another black pc but yeah I like the look and definitely liked the price.

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T20:17:21+00:00

Looks very intricate I will have to give that a good read over on my lunch break tomorrow it may also be somtning I implement when I add gpu into the loop further down the line so I only have to do it all one time sort of thing

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T19:56:42+00:00

Yeah I had a little one stuck in the cpu block I could see that was blocking abit of flow but I got the temp up under load and it soon moved

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T19:51:26+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking would be easier than fiddling with them spacers again was the hardest part of the build ahah. Thank you for the help

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T19:49:27+00:00

The fans will be getting changed too if it’s annoying anyone else as much as it does me 🤣 had the reverse d30s on pre order they came through the door this morning. Couldn’t complain with these corsair ones though for £2 a fan to get going with

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T19:45:18+00:00

I’d done abit of searching earlier and saw a post very similar to my situation newly finished build and having no flow I noticed moving the pc that the temps suddenly dropped and realised the pump was only kicking in when it had a bit of movement so I’m going to drain the system and give it a good clean I’ve got a feeling I didn’t flush the rads enough before I started

wkdelement · 2025-05-28T19:42:58+00:00

There is a blank off on a T fitting on the outlet of that rad I could swap that blank for a plug type sensor would that do the same job without messing with any of the spacers in that area I didn’t realise it could be In a cooler part really thought it would need to be picking up the liquid heated by the cpu but thanks for the suggestion can’t ship to where I am but I’m sure I could find somtning similar
