Well, I managed to flush her out, new hoses, new fittings, new paste, I just haven't found a spot for the manifold yet. Coolant looks as it should, and the old stuff was definitely yellow for some reason. Looks a little cleaner with the smaller OD lines. Oh yeah, I replaced the cpu water block with the replacement Raijintek sent. (After 7 months) 🤣

I kept thinking the lines were some sort of flow indicators on top. Still have not found a desirable place to mount it, but will continue to scout around. Thank you for the info!

I couldn't find any of the smaller EK manifolds in stock anywhere, so I just started browsing Titan rig, and found this one. And even they didn't have the 6 port (on top) model from Alphacool, which is the one I wanted. I have their manual with it, but I think it loses something in translation from German?? I couldn't make head's or tails from it. https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/reservoirs-distro-plates/distro-plates/12993-alphacool-es-distro-plate-c2

Sick! bro @chew I have everything I need to redo my loop. I am a bit confused on the small alphacool manifold, and how it flows. I bought some new fittings, because I want to switch to 3/8" ID-1/2" OD tubing, as I think it looks cleaner. Not sure if it will hinder performance, though. I've got some super concentrate coolant all mixed and ready to go, and some fresh Noctua to repaste. Just need some time!

Agreed, get it now, and enjoy it, have fun with it, bench the piss out of it, then sell it for the next great thing.

That is the never ending question of every hardware enthusiast 🤣

Was asking $180 on FB.

I took that one down. I sold that kit to @electrosoft. I now have n extra 2x16gb 8000mhz kit since I upgraded to the 2x24gb.

The 7900xtx is a great card. It is a beast at rasterization, and the price has come down a bit since launch. He really can't go wrong with purchasing it. Trying to sell the extra 8000mhz kit I have here on FB, and the clowns I get are amazingly ignorant. "That kit is only $120 new", "there is no difference between 6000mhz, and 8000mhz", "you are stupid, you will never get $180 for it"....The level of stupidity is astounding!

Here is my 7900xtx https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/107826064 Avg clock of 2836mhz is still a little low.

I am still on the beta version. I have not updated yet. I will do that now, and see what happens. It never happened on the previous bios versions. As you may recall, this board is a bit flaky. May go the AsRock Taichi, next go around.

@electrosoft another weird occurrence with my bios/board. If I forget to enable a setting after a cmos reset, it will error with A6, and I will have to reset it again. In other words, if I originally forgot to set memory context restore to enabled, simply enabling it will result in an A6 error, forcing me to reset it again. I must do all of my bios settings at once. If I change anything afterwards, it refuses to post. Must be something to do with the newer bios? I've got everything set the way I want, except memory timings, but if I go in and try to change anything, it will error, and not post.

I'd never used automotive coolant, but heard it was ok to use. I did order some Bykski concentrate from China, but was thinking of trying some automotive type. BTW, where has @johnksss been? Have not seen him nor @Reciever much lately??

What is everyone with a custom loop using for coolant? @electrosoftBios out of beta, and a bug fix for Ryzen 8000 series https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-X670E-CARBON-WIFI/support

We'll have to do some comparison benching when you get it dialed.

Hey I still have pictures stored on my computer, that I transferred via floppy, and my Sony Mavica. 🤣

Thank you bro @Mr. Fox. Notice the slight yellow shade of the coolant? That's not what it's supposed to look like. I used the coolant from Raijintek, and I'm not sure if it has any anti fungal. I did top it off a few months ago with some distilled water, maybe that's what caused the yellowing. Anyhow, new coolant on the way 👍

Try this

Got the new sensor panel all set up in the case. I think it looks pretty cool. There are quite a few templates shared in the Aida64 forums. This was my favorite.

The MSI card is trick looking.

Not to get too political, I won't set foot into a target. OG Gen-X here. Leave the kids alone!

Ali-Express $45. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNkcBZy

Used to go to CompUSA though. Man I loved that place. I rarely purchase electronics from BB either. I do have a credit card for that place(never used)

Taxes filed 👍. Been tough trying to find time to play....but you are correct about family. I did get a chance "while doing taxes" to configure my new panel.

I think @electrosoftwould know. I think he buys there quite often.
