That makes a pricy cable.

I'm not sure how warm the ambient air temperature in the case is, but it is warm. The RTX 4900 and to a lesser degree the 7950X3D dump a ton of heat. When I game it's like having a heater in the room. More so then in the past with my previous setups. It no longer makes any noise which is great...

In my case the power supply is next to the two CPU sockets and the main 24-Pin motherboard socket. I'd love to put a few 6" cables in there. I've seen a few custom sleeved cables but nothing like a sort cable kit like Silverstone had.

Not sure I follow, wouldn't the preset controller be fixed? They don't even have an input. The curve controller seems ok. I have 3 360 radiators for a RTX 4090 and a AMD 7950X3D, the fans mostly never run. I manly want them to run as to get the warm air out of the case.

In the Controllers, I added a Preset value controller and moved all the channels to it. I set it to 10%. I set all three channels to a rage of 10-100%. I then turned the pots until the fans on each Splitty9 Active were off. Now I can run the fans at their lowest speed, seems like 350rpm, with...

Had a few issues. Not sure why but the calitemp disappeared at some point and triggered an alarm for the first time since setting it up. I thought there was a way to acknowledge the alarms. It was very loud, and it took some time to get it working. In the end I just powered the system off and...

Yeah, it seems odd that changing the setting to power or PWM controlled don't seem to do anything.

I've only used the Power controlled 3 wire fans before but the aquaero 6 powers the first two channels off if the fans are run at full power. I got three of the Splitty9 Actives to replace the old Splitty9s in the hopes of getting around the issue. I've just rebuilt the PC with new 4 wire PWM...

I'm not sure where the cutoff is, but apparently 1.5 terabyte of the 1.8 terabytes available being used is too much and slows the drive to around 400 megabytes a second. So you buy a 2 terabyte drive that's really 1.8 and then if you want full speed you can only use 1.3 or 1.4 maybe before your...

I just booted to the second 990 Pro used only for personal work. It's much faster and has more free space so it smees the 990 Pro is more susceptible to having low drive space. I'll try and move some files off it and see.

That is what I would hope to see. The old laptop is faster with older hardware. I know that being full can slow them down but all three drives are close to being full. It seems odd the the Samsung Magician seems to be ok but when I go to copy a file is way too slow.

I've got a new build with new Win11 install. I work with VMs a lot and that is normally where you get to see the SSD performance. I know if I'm coping a large file on the same SSD it will not be as fast but something is up with the 990 Pro. It goes right to 400MBs or so and stays there. Like...

No room for a pencil, thin metal at best. I'm going to swap it out for the Noctua NH-U12A.

Maybe they change something, I'm not sure but you can see in the pic that it's smaller than the Tygon I also got 10 years ago. When you squish it a little to try to make it round, that just makes it even smaller. The only way to get the calipers in there at half an inch is to squish it oval. I...

Support did offer to send anti-vibration pads but I think they need to update their compatibility list. Do motherboard manufactures put the CPU socket in different locations or everyone is ok with not being able to access the PCIe slot eject lever? Thank you very much for contacting us...

Using the microwave and bring water in a cup to a boil then dipping the end of the tube for a few seconds makes it easy to connect a fitting. It's now about as easy as real 1/2" ID tubing but it slows things down a lot and takes more planning as you'll need to heat both ends and get them...

The Tygon is softer and that makes it easier to install. But also it's actually 1/2-in inner diameter. The Primochill is not, it's smaller and it's firmer. Actually feel like I'm going to break stuff trying to get the tubing on. It's way harder to install. I found some posts on other sites just...

It's a little oval but the calipers wont even fit in the wider squished diameter.

The primochill is too small. The Tygon is 1/2" ID but the primochill (on the right in the pic) is smaller. I'm using barbed fittings and out of the case just working on one fitting I can force it on but I'd break something trying to disconnect a mounted fitting.

The pump screws on and step 4 is not easy to do without going above 0.5Bar. I guess I need to do the soapy spray bottle test like when they install and new gas stove.

They do say not to go above 0.5Bar and to wait at least 15minutes one part and an hour for a system.

For the first time I'm trying to test the components before mounting. At first I though the Dr. Drop was defective as everything leaked air. Some as I was pumping and others after 5-10 minutes. I've seen many say to only hand tighten the fittings but I'm using barbed fittings and I've always...

I saw that but it's nuts trying to find a board that has everything you want. I should have just gotten a smaller heatsink. I couldn't imagen the same heatsink just sized down to 120mm fans would have temps all that much better.

I'd have to remove the GPU to mount it. I'm just setting it there for now as it makes no noise there. If I move it from the middle to the outside then I can clip it back on but it makes noise. If I took out the GPU and mounted it correctly in the middle location then I'd have trouble getting...

It's a temporary setup but I did check their compatibility list but I guess being able to access the first PCIe slots eject lever is not that important?

I see that some only have a 3-year warranty and some recommend replacing them every 3 years. Seems like a waste to me. Shouldn't they last indefinitely if there are no dissimilar metals and the correct fluid? Can the old ones be recycled, would anyone want them? Seems like a good amount of copper?

I just can't win. Got the new Corsair Hydro X Series XR7 360mm radiators and it M4-0.7mm not 8-32 like the old ones. So, not I need 52 of these. Home Depot has 6 for like $1.50 each. I don't see any markings one the old RADs and they don't look bad inside from what little I can see.

Support just told me that is what happens if you move the fan from the middle to the out side, even if it's blowing the same direction. The fan blades are too close to the fins and it gets noisy. They suggested not using the second fan or getting a 120mm fan for the middle so you can reach the...

It's not done anything like this before with other motherboards. I think I had an old Intel one that made one pop. This makes six with the first being before the OS is even loaded. And then several more after the Windows desktop.

Not sure it's worth getting the motherboard replaced. Someone on the MSI forum had said there's does the same thing. Part of the problem is my speaker system, it's very heavy on base. I have it on the lowest setting and it's still kind of too high. One setting lower and it turns the sub off...

If I use the RAM profile the SoC is 1.3-ish. Without it about 1.0. I don't use it now as I'm afraid it will bake the CPU and it slows the boot up and I think you can only tell it's running looking at RAM benchmarks. I don't think it helps a RTX4090 at 4k or my VMs. ???

"a 1pf cap" Something to look into, maybe. Not wanting to give up a PCIe slot for a sound card. That is why I get a motherboard with one. Don't think think you can get one without. :)

I guess but I'd really rather just have the ports and not another black box to put somewhere. For now I'm just going to live with the motherboard that has six thumping popping noises each time the computer boots. It's fine after that though. Just seems odd, there's no simple PC HD audio adapter...

That stuff looks like it's for folks that have way more money than they know what to do with.

I think that's the direction things are headed, but it'd be nice if you're $600 pus motherboard supported all the audio features they used to and without a thumping noise when you turn it on etc. Same sort of deal with the 10 gig ethernet port with video cards being so big and wanting to attach...

I had a hard time finding an X670E board with all the 5.1/7.1 Ports. I just got the MEG X670E ACE motherboard as it was the only one I found with 10GB Ethernet and all the PC audio ports. -It makes 6 thumping like pops each time I boot up but I guess I can live with that. It's just a $600 board...

I never had kinking issues with the 1/2ID-3/4OD Tygon but it did get a film inside the tubing. I ordered some primochill and hope it works a least as well.

I'm sending it back and getting the primochill. A second person from performance-pcs sent another email. At least they are trying. They just put the tube in a small UPS box not sure what another pic would tell them. I don't think Tygon puts the ID/OD on the tube. We are very sorry about this...

You can check that thread but I got 2 new 990 Pro SSDs and put clean from Micro Soft UBS Win11 installs and had the same issue. No OC and in a little over two years no Blue Screens or crashes and Prime95 had no errors for days and even did MemTest86 a few times. The only sign of an issue was the...
