You'll be able to run your fans at lower rpms to achieve same the same amount of cooling. Main difference.

Mannnnnnn. schokolade

Looking forward to seeing them.

Ooh. Monsoon just launched their range of hardline tubing, 3/8" ID 1/2" OD and 1/2" ID 5/8" OD

Made of out PMMA, also known as acrylic glass. Looks really good if you ask me. Digging the colours.

Will post images of the monsoon hardline fittings when I find them

Me too. I love Monsoon Cooling stuff. Sadly no one wants to stock it here. Even their orings are superior. lol.

What res are you using bro? Coz the one in your sig is acrylic. lol

Chunky yes, but so perfect. Soft but bounces back. Made of silicone, instead of Bitspower's EPDM.

Don't think anyone else uses silicone other than Monsoon. Phobya uses NBR. Koolance, EKWB and Bitspower are using EPDM

For silicone ones, so long as they don't cut/tear or get damaged from friction and they still bounce back, you're good. Next best thing to silicone is probably NBR followed by EPDM.

So... we have delid Intel chips. Anyone heard of delid AMD chips?

Here's an AMD A-chip delid using EK direct mount.

This?



If it is, sorry to break the news to you bro, but maximum recommended temperature for that is 50C. For xspc acrylic bay res, it's also 50C max temp, and will deform at 60C.

For truly resilient reservoirs, you'll need glass or delrin/POM/acetal.

Yeah, the recommended temps are from XSPC's website. No point using industrial data if the material used for the product is sub par and not to standards. later end up everything hancur.

If you count the glue then yeahhh. I didn't count that.

I haven't seen any melts either. Just cracking and some seals bursting.

Don't think it happens often, unless the person overload the loop la.

Besides, more often than not you see loops with rads just before the reservoir. So quite alright I guess.

I don't think people usually take reservoir temperature tolerances into count. Only when something happens they freak out.

LOL.

Use the mounting bracket and the vibration dampener that came with your pump top. You'll be alright.

Chew Yongxian whoa bro, use the +Quote button and add reply next time, then you won't have three posts in a row. lol

Eh? Wait, what? If you don't use the mounting bracket, how you gonna attach the pump to the drive rack?

Use desktop mode on mobile.



Just join the darkside, you know you want to.

Horrible idea.

1. Vibration from the pump, along with weight of the reservoir will affect your fittings and tubing
2. You'll damage the pump power cable.
3. Without proper mounting to secure the pump, the vibrations will in the long run damage your pump and make lots of noise.
4. You might just end up breaking something. Doesn't have to be a break, could be a spill, could be a leak. Either way, I wouldn't risk it.

Custom make a mount mechanism from acrylic or perhaps direct mount to your case wall. If you don't have the know how, look for shepard or irienaoki

Can you mount your pump 90 degrees? Then you can mount the pump on the walls of the case. Attach the reservoir to the side ports of the pump top.

Don't think anyone buys direct from xspc since most of their stuff is available locally. Haha.

Haha. I don't think there'll be much variance between XSPC's probe and the probe niclas has. If you compare aqua/koolance/phobya stuff to xspc and the one niclas has then yes, there'll be a difference.

SR1 240 replace EX240... I don't think you'll see much difference. Did you check out any comparisons? Personally I think the GTX or the AX series would be more of an upgrade than the SR1.

SR1; low FPI, optimised for air flow and silence, but able to perform well throughout any RPM range, even if you throw on Deltas
EX240; high FPI, optimised for static pressure fans and low profile performance.

In a way, they're nearly the same. lol.

Check out comparisons and consider the GTX or the AX. Since you're gonna get the temp probe, probably the GTX would be a better bet compared to the SR1, especially since you've already got SP120s.

whoa. What did you order? GPU block?

Will get back to you on the items you requested after CNY bro. remind me!

why not. Just make sure it's not the submersible kind. If it needs to be underwater, you can't use it.

This is the reason my love for Monsoon Cooling will never die. They make brilliant stuff.

Presenting their "Hardline Fittings":

Chaingun CompressionStyle


Signature Monsoon Compression Style:


As with all Monsoon fittings, comes in too many colours, matches their entire range and even Bitspower fittings.

Each fitting comes with:

One antimicrobial barb/base.
One Compression Ring.
One black 2.4mm thick high quality silicone G1/4 BSPP O ring.
One color matched UV 2.4mm thick high quality G1/4 BSPP O ring. (Additional O rings or different colors can be purchased separately in 10 packs).
One Molded Acrylic Lock Collar.
Two molded high quality black lock collar seals.

"One antimicrobial barb/base". YES the friggin MARINE GRADE brass fitting is silver plated. ALL OF IT.

"Precision machined entirely from marine grade brass with antimicrobial silver barbs/bases so you can run pure distilled or deionized water without the need to add antimicrobial additives that can lower cooling performance."

I think the people at Monsoon outdid themselves this time. WHY THE **** NO ONE WANTS TO BRING IN THIS BRAND.

Also, infernoaswen,irienaoki,shuhong90,Lucassss bottom spoiler for you guys.
