Did not know that about the EK-XRES. Either the heatsink is working pretty well or EK upgraded something in the pump. To be clear about the 50°, I don't mean that there will be holes in the tubes at 51° of course. And it will strongly depend on the exact material that the specific type of tube...

That depends on the ambient temperature I guess. From what I know 50°C is a point where some of the plastics used in water cooling components start to weaken. DDCs are rated at max. 50°C as well, while D5s are rated at 60°C iirc. If you have ambient temperatures that regularly rise above 25°...

No you can't there are a lot more factors that come into play. Also while the tdp of the cooled components can be used to estimate the heat load - the actual heat load will be less because no water block is even close to 100% efficiency. It would be almost impossible to catch all the heat of a...

No, that is not me, but that guy seems genuine, judging by other stuff he wrote. Also I definately can't find any kind of explaination why your 7700K would run so hot with that system. A normal sized 240 slim AiO can cool that CPU without problems (even without delidding) so how it gets so...

The Alphacool Eisbaer Solo you showed would also be an option, but it is 68mm high if I recall correctly, + the fittings of course so it probably doesn't fit. To be honest the best solution would be to simply double the size of the stacker unit, that way the pump could go half way into the...

You can not calculate the tdp and then take some numbers for radiators and match them up, it is not that simple. First of all not all of that heat will even arrive at the water block, that will definately be a significant amount of wattage on a non delidded Intel CPU, hence why delidding makes...

Well I don't know what is going on in your system specifically, might have something to do with the Shift X being very ristrictive in terms of air flow to the side fans. A few weeks ago on r/watercooling someone sent me this in a discussion on what radiator size is needed or not needed, it is...

I don't specifically want that but it would be a nice option. I am basically just throwing ideas in to see if they had thought of that. and no, not really an M1, I would probably use it in the back to back configuration so more like a Dan C4 with more radiator space. That is simply not true. A...

How about a 60mm rad with slim fans in push pull? The way it looks it could probably fit the additional 5mm but I have no idea how slim fans in push pull would perform. I second that question and add to it by asking if it could be flipped 90° to the rear so that the IO is at the back and the...

I understand, if it is a design limitation, but one stack on top and one on the bottom would be the same height as two stacks on the bottom or the top. As to getting a bigger case, isn't that kinda the idea of the stacks to choose your own size? It is your project and your choice what it can and...

I am pretty intrigued by this case design. Can the stack units in theory be stacked themselves? Like two stack units above or below the case? That would open up possibilities to do a full custom loop with a thicker radiator - even better if you manage to fit in a 280 like someone suggested...
