QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 14 2022, 10:02 AM) 1. State your full PC hardware specs including what casing you are using 1. Lian-Li 011 Dynamic white case. normal spec. i7-10kf / 16gb / rtx 20802. Do you only want to cool the GPU or the CPU as well? 3. Are you looking for soft tube or hard tube? 4. Do you have RM2K? Yes, custom loop is not cheap 2. only gpu cooling. i7 i got the 360mm aio from cooler master. 3. currently gpu cooling using ID-cooling 240 VGA cooler. 4. no i dont have 2k. currently the gpu cooler the pump got noise, like gurgling. maybe the coolant evaporated idk. its been almost 11 months since installation. im thinking of :- 1. DIY topup the coolant. 2. buy a new ID-cooling 240 vga cooler. links are here ID-Cooling Iceflow 3. installing a 'proper' GPU waterblock with the pumps and such, which i dont have any idea at all, pricing, installation, maintenance etc. the temp while using the 3rd party GPU AIO is somewhat around 50-60c while gaming, idle around 30-35c. default GPU twin fan is 45-50c while idling, 70-80c while gaming. cheers |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 14 2022, 10:58 AM) GPU waterblock, radiator & pump+reservoir already going to cost you RM700 as per the screenshot below thanks! currently im thinking to use your choice. This doesn't include fittings, tubes, coolant, and installation charges PS: No, you can't salvage your AIO parts to be used with this setup. Your AIO uses aluminium radiator which is going to corrode the Bykski GPU waterblock. Copper & Aluminium doesn't mix together ![]() i just found out about this product :- Alphacool Eiswolf how about this? i really appreciate your help!

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 14 2022, 11:31 AM) The same amount of money that you put into that EISwolf setup would be the same amount with your very own custom loop if you assemble yourself yes, this is what im thinking now,plus the ability to do DIY, maintenance and abundance of parts is a bonus too. RM1.2k for an AIO is too much for me now. now like u said, need to check the other 'minor' costs for pipes, fittings etc. im looking forward to this.

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 17 2022, 05:19 PM) That's the wrong waterblock i have consulted with the shopee seller, two sellers suggested this..I believe your RTX 2080 uses NVIDIA reference PCB so you should stick with the waterblock I recommended This is what your GPU PCB looks right? (excuse some small capacitor/diodes placements) ![]() ![]() i try to upload my PCB later. image too big. |

No need to buy branded fittings noted on that..its ok i just buy these from the seller.he helped quite a lot and reduced pricing a lot I've used generic fittings on my home server and no leaks since December 2020 Bykski fittings & tube price: RM189.45 Generic fittings & tube price: RM86.86 RM189.45 - RM86.86 = RM102.59 ![]() |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Mar 22 2022, 09:32 AM) the item arrived and i installed it..somewhat.forgot the pump bracket - so i cable tie it first. the temperature is high, not what i've expected. maybe -i put the 360mm radiator bottom,3 fans blow out - i can switch those to intake. -no intake fans (for now) i can install 3 fan at the side to be intake. - i f-ed up the thermal pads / paste on the GPU block. image below after one round of PUBG ![]() GPU ![]() Reservoir + Pump ![]() |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 12 2022, 09:27 PM) Your temperature is indeed high ok i will flush the coolant and see 1 and 2My 2080 Ti only runs at 48°C max on full load. And that's without airconditioner If I turn on the airconditioner, it can go to as low as 38°C on full load while gaming. Airconditioner set to run at 16°C LOL I think there are 2 possibilities that might cause your issue 1. Yes, you definitely screwed up the fan installation, you can't have all fans inside the case to be exhaust only. You need intake fans too. You don't have to install extra 3 fans on the side, just convert the bottom fans to intake fans 2. Yeah, you probably screwed up the thermal paste application, but it's quite easy to identify this. Since you're using soft tube, just unscrew the waterblock then see if the thermal paste spread evenly on the GPU die By the way, what coolant are you using in that loop? I hope you're not using car coolant. That stuff will screw up your liquid cooling system im using the 150ml bykski fury green color. now left 50ml idk what to do with it |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 12 2022, 09:42 PM) No need to flush the coolant lah, you're using soft tubing, just unplug the GPU and carefully remove the wateblock without unplugging any tubes Wtf...u r rightEven rotating the fans won't require any draining Kalau hard tube mmg die-die no choice but to drain the system first LOL I ady flush them lmao.still can recycle the coolant right haha.heres the image One of the vram has a different thermal pad, but same2 thickness. Too add, i use the x method. ![]() This post has been edited by aizielectreon: Apr 12 2022, 10:27 PM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 12 2022, 10:52 PM) Hmm, the GPU thermal paste spreads fine Need to reapply thermal paste? Oh no i just got a very little leftover...So it's definitely the fans layout then Just remember to apply a new layer of themal paste Owh and by the way, try to tilt your case left, right, front and back to make all the bubbles inside the radiator & the waterblock go into the reservoir. Make sure to run the pump at full sppeed while you do the tilting Bubbles can also slightly raise the temperature but shouldnt be that high My 2080 Ti should run hotter than your 2080 so something is definitely not right I will run the pump at full speed..using jumper clip |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Apr 13 2022, 07:28 AM) Well, it's cooler than before, but not good enough 1. Coolant - i will take a look at the cryofuel. For now maybe my water to coolant ratio is out..maybe..The other stuff that I can think off that may cause your RTX 2080 to run hotter than my 2080 Ti are: 1. The coolant 2. The fan 3. The thermal paste 4. Fan filter The coolant: The Bykski coolant is probably not good enough in absorbing the heat from the waterblock and transferring it to the radiator Hence why I only stick with EKWB CryoFuel coolant Had bad experience with Corsair HL5 & Thermaltake C1000 Both of them cause the loop to turn muddy in less than a month Had to try them out because EKWB CryoFuel was out of stock and there's only 1 seller in Malaysia who sells them at reasonable price Waited for several months for the EKWB CryoFuel to be restocked during the MCO era hence why I decided to try those 2 coolants Oh and I only use the clear transparent coolant, no colors The fan: In the market there are 2 types of fan. Airflow fan & Static Pressure fans Airflow fans are to get air to move in and out of the case without any heatsink/radiator behind or in front of the fans Static Pressure fans are made to be used on radiator & heatsink I'm using Arctic P12 PWM PST CO. It's one of the cheapest high static pressure fan with dual ball bearings What fan are you using? The thermal paste: The best thermal paste are the ones with high conductivity Currently I'm using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Fan filter Are you using the top fan filter on the top of your O11? If yes, just remove it You only need to use fan filter on intake, not exhaust 2. For the 360mm radiator intake, 3x cryorig QF120. I missed out this static pressure thingy. 3. Am using Arctic MX-2 thermal paste. 4. Oh yea la.shall remove it later. Intake, there is no dust filter for now. |

QUOTE Just switch to EKWB CryoFuel. The premix 1L is already pre-mixed for you, no need to campur campur anymore Shopee Link: https://shopee.com.my/product/59277182/1886522714 That's the only seller in Malaysia that sells EKWB CryoFuel Premix at a reasonable price OK. Dotatech is near my house. i can just buy directly. QUOTE Remember to flush the whole system with lots and lots of distilled water before refilling the system with new coolant OK. QUOTE QF120 is an airflow fan, not a static pressure fan Airflow fan is only good to blow in & out of the case, it's not strong enough to blow air through dense fins in radiators / heatsinks i got the QF120 Performance. i thought this was a static pressure fan..oh noes. QUOTE If you're going to buy the Arctic P12, I'd suggest you buy directly from Taobao. Their price is the cheapest on the Reliable? i have not bought anything from Taobao yet..only lazada/shopee.. QUOTE How old is your MX-2? I mean when did you buy it? IINM, thermal paste has a shelf-life. Even when it sits in the tube unused, it will still lose some of it's integrity. Even more if you leave the tube in direct sunlight bought it on 17/03/2021. QUOTE You can re-install the intake filter, that's very important to block dust from coming into the case You need to remove the exhaust filter. Case exhaust filter is really unnecessary OK noted..
