Yeah, I think it was something like that. I'll be using pads with the waterblock, only 1mm gap between the block and the components.

Thanks a lot for the offer, though I am afraid that shipping will be more expensive I've been looking around on several webshops here and I've found Tygon Norprene R6016 tubing, 1/2 id 3/4 od. Is that comparable to the tubing you guys use? The A-60-G is a bit harder to find, but I'll continue tomorrow. @Ducrider Interesting, are you going to make a build log?

I just picked the only black tubing my local shop had. Is it really a big upgrade over the ZMT tubing?

While preparing my 3090FTW3 for its new waterblock I noticed that the thermal compound was completely dry. The thermal pads were fine, and the compound on the core itself was a bit hard but not dry. Now I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that a thermal compound should not be this dried out. It broke here and there while removing the cooler and chunks fell down on the desk. I guess this is what you get if you run this type of card 24/7 for 8 months, though always below 70°C. So I just wanted to share this with you all, I guess you can expect something like this with a powerful card. But after using it for only 8 months it might be a bit early for maintenance like changing the pads and compounds.

LARS only uses stats from users who fold with their Web Extention. So your folding performance does not increase or lower the average over there.

Thanks!

Might have to change the name of this system Thanks for the heads up! If I don't like the tubing I might change it, it's almost free compared to those fittings.

Made up my mind about the fittings, so "True Brass" it is. (Sorry about the double post..)

That's not what you told me on discord...

I've been praying in front of my hardware shrine for an hour, asking the hardware gods to have mercy on that 290x! Seems like the seller is careful with the card

A few hours later: I think I'm finished and I don't think anything else is missing (at least for my kinda builds).

Really nice Mistio! I love full cover blocks for motherboards, I would love to use one on my X570 Taichi but there is only one block available and I don't like the looks.. How are the CPU and GPU temps?

Sweet I gave it a try, the result is below. The only things I'm missing is WC tubes and fancontrollers, not that it's an issue but I just noticed it. Great work E

Congrats with your 2 Billion milestone @Supercrumpet!

Thanks! I love their rads, and the Xflow design really helps with routing the tubes through the case. Even if I add all my ML fans I still don't have enough..

Welcome again!

Bluetooth PCIe, I like the idea!

The rads showed up today, the top will be the 420x45 rad from the other system. Ordered 24 fans. I still need to make up my mind about tubes and fittings.

Not sure if my ONLYFANS build is supported by the sig system, too much FANS..

Really interesting @BWG I'm running my 3090 @ 95% for a few days now, and it doesn't seem to care at all. I've even seen up to 8 mil ppd on P18202 which is close to the max I've seen on that unit. Besides that it runs a few degrees cooler too. I wouldn't really care about this if I'm watercooling, but on air it sure does help a lot!

Guilty as charged... But they look so good! Banned for calling my love for great products 'ocd'

Scared me for a moment there...

Weather is great, backpack is waiting behind me, why not? Banned.
