Mr. Fox

Well, then here is a new one to replace my prior submission for 10850K (work computer)

I used to bench my overclocked laptops outside in the winter when I lived in Washington and Oregon, but I live in the Phoenix area now and there's really no such thing as cold weather. They have something they call winter, but it's really only cool weather, not winter weather. 40-50°F does seem cold when 115-120°F is normal.

It seems like a strange concept to those of us that essentially never run any computer stock. I overclock everything whether it needs it or not and if it won't overclock I don't want it and generally won't buy one.

I am frequently disturbing things and need QD fittings. They make everything so easy. Using the ball valve is cheap insurance and I no longer need to care if one sticks open. It is inconsequential with the valve, and I can still enjoy the convenience of the QD.

I have about 10 QD3 fittings, 6 on the Wraith setup, and the female half sticks on all of them. What is weird is I also use QD2 fittings. I have them on Banshee and have used them on other systems. I have never once had a QD2 fitting stick open on me. Only the QD3. It is odd because they seem to be made the same, only the QD2 fittings are smaller. All of the QD3 fittings are black, so it may be the enamel or anodized finish causing it. The black finish is on the inside as well as the outside. The QD2 fittings are chrome.

Thank you. That is a Primochill Praxis Wet Bench, like what you see JayzTwoCents using. I really enjoy it. Wet Benches WWW.PRIMOCHILL.COM I have attached a photo that shows more clearly how the valve and fitting are connected. I use Koolance QD3 fittings. They are made well and look nice, but the female half is famous for sticking open when you disconnect the line. To solve that problem, I install a ball valve next to the female QDC fitting and turn the valve off before unplugging the fittings. So, if it sticks open, there is maybe a teaspoon of liquid that leaks and that is easily handled by a couple of paper towels or a terrycloth hand towel.

Thanks, bro. Always nice to have friends to play with and learn from.

Are they actually available for purchase right now? I have not seen them, but I haven't looked (yet).

Hi, I am new to the community, but see quite a few user names I have seen for years in other places. Hi folks. Happy New Year. Banshee is the system I use for work. Wraith is the system I use for play.
