wow right out of left field I thought chicken patty was dead

good to have some textured vegetable protein on tpu

I liked him, but we were both dicks so we got along. I had his cell number years ago, but have obviously lost it.

I think I had his too, actually I remember we spoke on the phone a few times. He had his good days. Overall I got along well with him

Does anybody have some suggestions as far as radiator, and pump to use for my loop? I'll initially only cool the CPU, but maybe I'll add the card in later, maybe.

kay im a make a sandwich with you now
pass the hot sauce and butter please

both come with DC12 pumps and are fully expandable to include a gpu loop later

I hear the EK AIO units are pretty great.

I'll look into these. I was kinda leaning more towards doing my own loop, put little touches here and there to go with the build.

I can respect that, apparently you can disassemble them and add stuff though. Like they are serviceable. and the off the site parts are apparently compatible.

I will definitely loo into it, doing so right now actually. Thanks for the suggestion!

DIY loop all the things. Last ryzen build I did I used a 1070 and 1800X and that was fine with a single 280 radiator.

This is actually just the EK kit and I was pretty happy with it.

wait. which EK kit was it? Did you modify it? I suppose you did? That looks great, really like the pump/res combo.

Couple of small mods, swapped on the shorter res for the pump vs the 250mL and then obviosuly the GPU block/LED fans. Rest of it is what comes in the box.

EDIT:

This is what it comes with normally

I happen to have the exact pump in my rig at home. D5 PWM, 250mL res, EK CPU block and this goes to two 240's and a 360.

@cdawall what kinda temps were you seeing with that loop, and what clocks/voltages?

In games with silent fans it never exceeds 60C with a 5960X@4.8ghz 1.42v. Under a heavy stress test the bastard actually puts enough heat out that the fans kick up and it hits 70-80C. I don't think it can cool the dumb thing fast enough, with the clocks dropped to a more sane 4.6 1.33v it peaks under heavy stress at like 56C lol.

Mind you the front radiators are stacked with a set of 38mm fans in the center that are unplugged. With those running take another 5-6C off. They are just too loud for what my goal was I sacrificed some temperature for silence. Normal ops is just two Tt ring intakes over the pair of stacked 240's and 3 Tt rings for exhaust on the 360mm rad up top. Only other case fan is a rear exhaust Tt ring. All are set for low noise.

You might have just sold me on this kit man. Might even order it now. Basically a custom loop picked out for you. The custom loop I had in mind was mostly using EK components anyways LOL.

The ryzen loop pictured actually gave lower temps than my 5960X does. That maxed at 60C on the GPU and about the same on the 1800X@4.1 1.45v, 1070@2150. That was with just the 280 EK rad, and those Tt ring fans pictured.

My 5960X loop has a bunch of random parts, just the Block/res/pump are EK. Radiators are Swiftys.

 

[Chicken Patty]

You know what, I just pulled the trigger. Read some reviews and it doesn't get much better than this. Saved me a few from my custom loop. Thanks for the info and suggestion!

That is dope I hope you enjoy it. I actually found the kit to be really really good for what it was.

Only thing I'm going to do for starters is to switch out the tubing for white tubing to go with the build. I'll try it like that and go from there.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks to all for the recommendations! I ended up going with the EKWB EK-KIT P280. I also ordered some white tubing to use instead of the clear one to go with the rest of the case. While I'm there installing it, I plan on also tweaking the wiring a tad. Stay tuned fellas!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Alright fellas. Been a while but here is an update on how the PC is coming out.

I finally received my water cooling kit. It is an EK P280 kit I got from EK, as suggested earlier in this thread. Great performance. Dropped my idle temps from about 45-50ºc and 3.2 GHz @1.200v, to 25-30ºc at 3.8 GHz and 1.392v. Load temps went from about 85-90ºc, to 60-65ºc. Super happy with the kit. Here are a few pictures:


I ended up using separate tubing I had bought which was the PrimoChill white LRT tubing.

Fans mounted. One of them came with the sticker coming off. No problem though, I will be getting two other fans that will match the rear exhaust fan of the case

Here is a shot of the radiator mounted to the front of the case, and then with the filter on. Can't tell it's there Yes, filter was cleaned out after wards

Went ahead and mounted the pump/reservoir combo.

Water block installed. Great piece of work by EK

Here is the finished product. I think it looks great!

and finally powered on!

Unfortunately while I was removing the factory cooler from the Ryzen chip, it pulled the chip out with it. The CPU was fine, but shortly after a RAM slot died on the mother board. Then the system stopped posting. I shipped the stuff back to Newegg (board and CPU) and they advised the board was no good. Regardless I got both replaced and I should have a replacement board and CPU here this week if all goes well. I took the downtime to order a new PSU, and a PSU Cable replacement set so that I can have all the PSU cables sleeved, and without extensions. This will drastically improve my cable management, especially on the back side as there won't be so much extra wire.

The PSU I bought was an EVGA 1000W supernova G2. The sleeved PSU replacement set is from Cable Mod. Can't wait to finish putting it together with the new PSU and cables

I assume he got banned

Nope. He just walked away from PC's. He was back for a while there at the end of 2015. Here, let's see if this works. Hey @Fitseries3

 

[HammerON]

Looking good CP!
Are you going to add the GPU to your water cooling loop?
