    Log Watercooled Cube X1 in Dark Grey - RTX3080 | R5 3600 | 240mm LT Solo

    Thanks! Yeah it doesn't get much traffic, probably because its not one of the more commonly known ITX cases. There was no comparison with noise compared to old pump with the DIYHK thing...that was absolutely terrible. The stock EK branded one is great, has heaps of flow..is quiet (relatively)...

    Just when I thought it was finished.... J-Hack M2426 Installed.. Wish these were available ages ago and I would have saved the hours of time spent making my short ATX cable...

    The EK-DDC 3.2 PWM is in ..as it is..and my PC is back to silent again and works off the Quadro. The PWM acts a bit funny though. 0% will shut the pump off, between 1-22% it is at 1300RPM which is pretty much dead silent..From there the adjustment maxes out around 57% @ 4500RPM where it is...

    So the tinkerer in me decided that in order to stop using my mobo PWM header to power my DC DDC pump, I would get one of these DIYINHK DDC PCB Boards that apparently make it better. Well, the good news is that I can run it off my Quadro now..and have everything controlled in there. The bad...

    So what is the measured real world impact of this fin direction thought?

    I've been using the Aquanaut on my rig for the past 3 months and it's been awesome.... Not exactly sure what the nitpicking was on a few marks that a tool would leave making the countersunk holes but OK..lol

    The tinkering never seems to stop. Upgraded ST25 radiator to ST30 v2 with extra port at the end tank, and also extra ports on inlet tanks. Have moved thermo to the rear port of the rad. Put in Bykski quick disconnects to help with filling....I also put my old ST25 radiator on that loop. It has...

    @Nouvolo Aquanaut installed with Alphacool DDC310 - No DC control on the Quadro is a bit crap but it’s a relatively quiet pump..plugged into AIO header on Mobo now running around 1500rpm. the extra flow is great, but it brings new issues when trying to fill the loop without a res...mainly in...

    Well, had some fun with the QUADRO controllers... I had 3 delivered to save on some shipping costs with the intent to sell on the other two. I re-pinned a Molex plug that I had around and stupidly, even after checking it with a multimeter..sent one to heaven because 12/5 were switched. Anyway...

    Got my Aquanaut delivered today to Australia! looking forward to seeing how it goes in my loop to replace the LT Solo - THat thing pumps like a trickle and makes filling PAINFUL. Hoping this will make it a lot easier and run it pretty slow for some noise free operation...Will check out the LED...

    Ahh the joy of watercooling. So i bought a bunch of fittings, bits and pieces and new 10/13 tube for something to do - I currently have the stock Alphacool LT tubing size which is 8/11 - So 10/13 was a more standard size and easier to find fittings etc. Anyway, after a bunch of stuffing...
