>SLI is dead edition
so there's literally 0 reason to do custom watercooling today

I like a bigger PC just because m y b o y s think it looks more powerful.

want to replace the case and psu, but am not sure what i should choose

>literally 0
aesthetics
better cooling capacity
moving heat away from your pc (remote radiator)
lower noise

>air cooling
>in times of low load you can actually turn off the fans
>your pc is now totally silent
enjoy your water pump shit sound

>enjoy your water pump shit sound
my machine has no noise unless your head is literally inside the case
temps under 70c when absolutely silent, goes down to 40-50c with pwm at max
this is with a pretty even gpu and cpu load
my radeon vii melts under air

>radeon 7
>liquid cooling
how to spot a retard

I really need to buy ram, I've had this stick I got out of an Optiplex for almost a year now.

He's liquid cooling a housefire GPU, what's wrong with it?

What the fuck is this? 36, 33, 61, 46.2, so confusing at least with CPUs all I have to read is the package temp.

PCIE 6pin goes ABOVE the GPU

gpu's has different things that get hot

the thing that really matters is the hot spot

iirc its current temp, min temp, max temp and avg temp

33-61, idle to load, on a Radeon VII blower? What the fuck?

I know, it's horrible. Coming from a 6 year old laptop I don't know how bad it is without it. I'm going to get some next month.

>hot spot
oh okay, lol at 87c, that's housefire tier, my shit GPU runs at 79c on load and I can feel the heat in my room

79c is edge of chip temp on most cards
hot spot is literally the hottest point on the chip, showing how hot the card really is compared to the cooling amount

The modern approach of "graphics APIs let devs write for the hardware they want to" is the best way to go and should obsolete traditional SLI approaches. But that's fucked over by how unpopular it is now and how much effort it would take.

having 2 gpu's in your system is objectively cooler than one

too bad it has no practical benefits anymore outside heavy gpgpu tasks

Meh

there's no reason to, you don't gain anything. ATX cases and boards aren't really large enough to be burdensome for most people.

These threads make me wanna blow cash on ricing my desktop's aesthetics

My little sister can't lift her tower because it's too heavy.

I want a custom loop, never built one before.
Where do I start? Do you guys have any articles or video tutorials or any kind of ressource?

Finally decided to spend a few hours OCing.

But since it's still summer, max I could hit without breaking 90c during heavy loads was 4.9Ghz all core.

Still 300mhz over the stock all core turbo of 4.6Ghz.

Because it's called NVLink now, right ?

>not replacing your GPU cooler with an aftermarket GPU cooler with Noctua fans on it.

shiggy diggy

Should I be worried? Do I need to get one of those support brackets for it?

It wouldn't hurt.

Worst case it'll sag enough to actually damage the pcie x16 on the motherboard

ill do that whenever i upgrade my gpu

Would this cooling solution be better than 5700 XT Red Devil?

Probably, yeah.

It's a physically larger heatsink, and noctua fans are by far better than whatever fans powercolor uses.

youtube.com/watch?v=K-9k5cRbrPU

How are the fans controlled?
And what about VRMs?

First liquid cooling attempt turned out pretty autistically

This is now a Fractua thread.
I was able to get 3 chromax A14 for cheaper than the standard NF-A14

Your average clock speed is 1500

Sure there isn't. AIO pumps are dog shit. Air coolers that are even close to being worth a damn will take up RAM and PCIE slots and still not quite hit shitty AIO temps. Considering how sensitive Ryzen 3000 boosts are to temperature custom cooling is almost mandatory if you want the most out of the higher end Ryzen 3000 cpu's.

Custom pumps are more powerful and quieter than AIO pumps. They also arent sitting on the block adding heat where you are trying to remove it.

How did you learn? pls gib tips.

what fractal case is that

Very nice work.

fractal cases are sexy af. want to get one myself
but i might even go without side window - better sound isolation i guess

amd fx8350
radeon rx580

why dont you rotate your cpu cooler fans so the cables are not or barely visible?

also why psu fan into your case? dont you have holes for it below?

>why dont you rotate your cpu cooler fans so the cables are not or barely visible?

they plug into the mobo right there. if i rotate them ill have a lot of slack and i dont want to crimp the cables

>also why psu fan into your case? dont you have holes for it below?

yes but sometimes the case is on the floor(carpet).

>>also why psu fan into your case? dont you have holes for it below?
>yes but sometimes the case is on the floor(carpet).

also if you look the psu is helping to pull more air toward my graphics card area

Just plan it out in your head and any time you don't know something (how do fittings work, etc.) just look it up / research it until you understand what to do. Repeat until you know exactly how to put the loop together and all the parts you'll need

Dust your shit

does anyone know what fractal case that is?

VRMs have their own heatsink accessory
Fans need another fan controller, it's all in the vid/other vids about it

I did this for 2 years

Looks like a Meshify.

custom-loop watercooling is pretty zoomer tier but it can look pretty nice sometimes.

>yfw you realize heatpipes are basically a superior form of liquid cooling

How are custom loops zoomer? AIOs are pretty much as zoomer as you can get

Jesus... Get a bigger case or your GPU will suffocate itself. Are their any ventilation holes on the bottom?

>no rgb, aio, or shit brown fans
Based

Two big ones and the case us elevated so my triple fan gpu gets a constant supply of air

Instead of front/back, how would a bottom/top airflow setup work? Seems like something that would work well, at least in my mind.

extreme autism

What is a power supply?

dust

A miserable pile of capacitors.

filters

silverstone has bad stickers I see

I like it.

Doesn't help I live near water, so we get 90F heat with 70%+ humidity.

and? it's not overclocked right now because I don't need it to be

look at that gpu sag

who said SLI is dead?

Attached: 1.jpg (1450x2009, 945K)

Nvidia. SLI hasn't been advantageous since the 600 series. NVLink is supposed to be the successor, but it's only working on workstation cards (RTX 2080 has NVLink support, but it's gimped)

>122 degrees

Speccy hasn't been relevent in 2 years. It's not been updated in at least a year and it never worked properly for Ryzen. Also, you can see the CPU temps on the motherboard display.
