Reciever

Got about half of the watercooling gear today, for all the hate that EK gets the WB certainly feels premium, fairly heavy too lol, also got the 1080mm rad as well so I can take my time routing cables and such

I'm in the same boat, it may be covered by warranty but, it's still an OC profile. A warranty and what it covers doesn't change what is listed on Intel ARC. Just finished brushing, rinsing, air drying (pc duster) x2 my Pa120se (AM4), NH-D15 (10850k) and Red Devil 7900 XTX. The cost of running open air and a/c unit, dust lol. I did buy another open air frame, should be here in the afternoon. Probably going to have to switch to one of those multi-tier wire frame shelves. Running out of space on my old' wood chest. Started outfitting the server box with drives and SDD's. Also replaced the E5-2650's with E5-2697A's in my last dell tower. I really underestimated the homework for older GPU's and modding vbios, casually going about it for a bit each night before I go to sleep. The time consuming part is going to be backing up all the vbios but maybe I can just do that as I go, we'll see.

So after sleeping on it, just decided to wait it out and buy 2x NH-U14S DX-3647's for the server. More than likely wont have them in time to appreciate them which was the point of irritation. The U12 was the same price with more expensive shipping compared to the U14, so U14 it is. Do you guys follow the practice of soaking liquid metal into waterblocks? This will be the first time watercooling since X58. Until all the parts come in, I'll be benchmarking GPU's for our team starting tomorrow. Might make some prep tonight but just enjoying a little lazing about.

Chances are I may have taken up your offer, always prefer to do business with you and Fox for sure. I can also say I did make the purchases, probably the largest I have had in some time, around 1700. Now of course I just find out that the server heatsinks I bought wont fit LGA 3647. Also figure out that nearly no heatsinks worthy of note exist for LGA 3647. Looks like I'll stick with the Dynatrons I have just to get the ball rolling but it's looking like I will be building a second loop perhaps around the beginning of the next month for the server. EDIT: Turns out the Dynatrons I have also dont work since Intel did the whole square vs narrow ILM.

Yeah I was thinking one on the res after the rad and the second one as input back into the rad Sorry sleep aids kicking in, hard to think critically

This list cover the bases? @Mr. Fox @tps3443 Forgot the leak tester, Looks like EK, Alphacool and XSPC, all about the same price.

So as long as I keep the radiator standing up-right, should be fine? Also, running 2 pumps? Should I just get 2 Core 100's, Eisbecher res and remove the distro plate? Current list as-is, is that enough fittings?

Does this more or less cover all the bases? Thanks again @Mr. Fox!

I always get confused on the tubing, I know I want flexible tubing. What fittings and tubes should I go with? I found most of the same things on Amazon so it should arrive while I am on vacation. I'll see if I can find what I need on Amazon so its just one big order. Sold my second tower tonight so most of this is bankrolled by that :) I did buy 2x 2697A v4's for my last tower (currently on 2650 V4's and also just got my Xeon Gold 6248's for the server I am building to replace the Dell's that I got fed up with.

This is what I am looking at for the moment. Looks like I wont be able to get in to me quite some time though...

So I am at a bit of an impasse. Just been working 14 hour days this past month all the way up to my vacation (which was almost canceled lol). I don't like when people do this to me but here I am about to do the same. I am hoping to build a water loop for my Red Devil 7900 XTX, it's been 15 years since my last Waterloop not sure where to buy these things anymore. I'd like to get the 1080mm UT45/60 and alpha core block just not sure about the rest. Does the UT45/60 have mounting points for res and pump? Does it need a kit for that sort of thing? As payment for troubling you all I'll take plenty of pictures of the build log. I am based in the US, Texas, 76001 I know @Mr. Fox gave me some good info before I still have it favorited. I'd like to get everything purchased by tonight if possible. Thanks in advance everyone

A coworker of mine was chatting with me while we were frantically working onboarding a new client. The result of said conversation is that I now have a GTX 1080Ti from EVGA. As such, my second morpheus heatsink will now have a home. I might do a as is test, then cleaned up test, then morpheus. Like a complete idiot I also damaged the Asus Sage 621e motherboard when trying to do a mock fitting. I didnt realize that the motherboard stand-off's were preinstalled by the manufacturer. Shows how long I've gone without a case lol. I cant seem to find anyone willing to repair so I might go another route. Oh and does anyone have any spare 13th Gen CPU's collecting dust? Coworker bought a 14th gen used and turns out its defective. Sorry I havent been online for a spell, onboarding clients requires 12-14 hour days evidently

Amd chips are cheaper but the motherboard options are slim pickings. Finally got fed up with oem motherboards on the Dell precisions so I'm selling off a few of them and moving to a DIY solution. The board came with a couple xeon silvers which I s fine for testing but long term I'm probably going with a couple xeon gold 6248's 20c/40t Ordered a be Quiet 1000w for it as well I'll begin testing it over the weekend.

A little preview of what I'm building next Sage 621e

Honestly I would just hang on to the 7900 XTX. Neither vendor has anything appealing for us without spending way too much money. I am waiting to see what next generation offerings look like, that being said I can play everything I want to play in terms of gaming at 3440x1440p. Perhaps Monster Hunter: Wilds is the only exception but that game runs like trash on anything right now. I believe you can run a trial for 30 days, there are ways around that "limitation" but I never looked further into it. I used the trial for about that duration and bought a license. The license gives you access to its platform for life but updates for 1 year to the OS itself. You can pay for a lifetime update license of course, i'll probably be upgrading my license to lifetime updates. The only part that is a bit quirky at times is finding a flash drive to use which must have a UUID that it can tie the license too, then of course install the OS to it. Cant remember how I did mine but probably used Rufus.
