Oooo this also made me feel better! https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/amd-views-ryzen-5000-cpu-temperatures-up-to-95c-as-typical-and-by-design/

Ooo yes. I agree that PBO doesnt yield the best results looking at clocks vs heat, but its the only way to combine 1T and all core OC without having to manually switch profiles all the time depending on your workload. Also, with the power limit set in PBO you can control the heat generated by...

Im not sure why you are refering to this vid. My build specs are as followed: Case: Ghost S1 with large top and bottom hat Mobo: Asus ROG STRIX X570-I RAM: G-Skill F4-4000C18-64GTZR CPU: AMD 5950X GPU: Nvidia 3090 FE PSU: Corsair SF750 4x noctua A12x25 PWM fans 2x alphacool 240mm ST30 rad 2x...

Since im still waiting for the ekwb 3090 fe block i decided to go ahead and mock build the pc anyways. Im using the aquanaut with a 5950x but im not too impressed. First of all some of the fins of the cold plate are not machined completely, affecting the contact surface area with the coolant...

I'm planning on using an EKWB backplate since it uses M4 thread instead of the 6/32 or whatever it is the stock AM4 plate has. I realy wanted to use 'standard' shoulder bolts with matching springs and couldnt find anything UNC that would work as intended.

Thanks! Just to let you guys know, I'm still working on it, but taking things slow. I'm waiting for zen 3 before stepping in on the AM4 platform. This weekend im picking up all the watercooling stuff i need for my ghost s1 build, and I will double check all measurements for the pump area of the...

Thats prety exciting news!

A DDC pump wont be included. The flow is more similar to an optimus block, running up/down from the centre jet, rather than left/right seen in EK's blocks. Designing a compact block poses limitations when it comes to flowpaths. You'll want your pump placement to remain centered otherwise you...

I'm working on a custom CPU block with intergrated DDC pump mount made specific for the AM4 socket. I'm currently in the finishing stages of the design, prepping for a proto. Pump in- outlets will above/below the socket. Dimensions: Height: 23.7mm (cold plate to DDC mounting face, 49.7mm...

Water is pushed from the DDC outlets on 2 sides through the center of the jet plate. Water will flow around and out of the block. I added a picture to show more detail

Is there any new info on the development of this part? I've been in contact with another company, and prices seem much more interesting at first sight (especially for larger batches). I've contacted a company to 3D print the first proto, the EKWB cold plate and various springs and bolts are...

First I'll have to compare different quotes because i believe the one I have now is at least 50% too expensive. In the end I might order just a small batch to get a lower price and sell off the other blocks for the productions cost to break even. For sure im not gonna sell for a loss, id rather...

This was based on a batch of 10 parts, after that the price drop was very minimal. Whenever the design is truely finished I might check for interest on the forums.

Ive been eagerly waiting, but all the custom block projects seem to take ages to lift off. Ive also (more or less) finished a design of my own. It'll be more specific for AMD AM4, with the in/out above and below the socket, in between the mounting screws. Got my first quotes and was shocked by...
