I think I am going to order one of those ILM replacements and call it good since I am not benching much any more. If someone comes up with a bare die frame for 12th Gen that allows me to use a normal water block, I'll grab one if and when that happens.

I finally got it. Took a while.

I almost ordered the TG one, though there are a few bad reviews about quality on the back of the bracket..
Fingers crossed these work for you guys, maybe I'll get one of those too.

Temps are fine. No problems at all. Basically the same as it was with the washer mod, but I like this a lot better than the ILM and it provides a nice shroud for liquid metal containment, which is the main reason I wanted it. I might replace the recycled KPX on it now with Liquid Pro sometime this weekend. That should knock 'em down another 10-12°C in a heavy AVX load.

I debated whether to pay an extra $30 USD for the TG/der8auer version and decided I would give the $5 USD Chinese option a try first. Now I am glad that I didn't pay extra for the TG option.  I can't really identify how it would be any different other than costing more. The only signficant difference I can identify is the TG version has adjustable pressure depending on how much you tighten the screws and it doesn't rest against the motherboard. This cheap Chinese version has a shoulder at the ends where the screws are inserted with pad that makes contact with the motherboard PCB. You cinch it down snug against the motherboard. Based on how it is designed, I think I like the cheaper option a little better because you don't have to be precise with the installation procedure... K.I.S.S. principle at work.

I've been using EK Cryofuel clear for the past 2 years without change in my system. It's held up really nicely. The only issue I have is all my WC stuff is copper except for my GPU block (nickel plated, which of course is ever so slowly coming off). I really want to get a copper-only GPU block next time too so that there's zero mixed metals in my loop. (Well except the brass fittings but I've never had an issue with those).

I bought a bottle of that once and it was all separated. Cryofuel doesn't really have a good reputation.

 

That said, if you saw my other thread, basically the problem I had with my ModMyMods Mod Water I tried to fill my system with yesterday, so will see how this Mayhems XT-1 turns out.

Not computer related, but these arrived today for another project (learning to do my brakes with a buddy):

I scored these today, in near perfect condition for $30.  The ones I scored are black, but they're the same EXACT speakers.  They were missing the DC jack, but luckily I have plenty of those laying around for testing purposes at least.  They work!  Going to order another DC jack for these, 12v / 3a.  It does look like I need to re-solder the POT on the right speaker for system volume control, as its got a connection short there.  You wiggle the volume knob and system power disconnects and reconnects.  So yeah, definitely needs a re-solder or reflow of solder on that particular POT, or maybe replace the POT if its needed.  Not sure.  They do work fine though, sound fantastic for 21 year old speakers honestly.

It's not a pc part, but cost as much as many pc parts.  My wife surprised me with an early Father's day gift...then asked for food lol... I spent most of the day yesterday seasoning it before finally getting to grill burgers last night.  I don't use propane much, but I still hooked up a tank.  I usually grill with charcoal or wood...

 

For those who wonder, seasoning a grill like this is basically coating it with vegetable oil and getting it warm for hours then hot and done... the bottle seen in the pic is the vegetable oil.
