Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

Increase volume from 9.8L to 10.5L to support MSI Suprim X 30XX?

  • Yes, worth the trade off to be more compatible with components

    Votes: 116 24.6%
  • No, not worth it b/c it is not better than the ROG 30XX, which fits now at <10L

We all are at some points after the announcement no ? But I’m used to this kind of stuff tbh. Also does anyone know how to contact Alphacool ? I ordered an Eisbaer LT Solo block to a friend of mine in the UK and received an order number, but so far nothing happened

Yes, two weeks ago.. But i keep watching in friday just want to know update from @Wahaha360 and the joy when you can make order for T1. Bought EKWB, didnt get any reply and open case in paypal. my package arrived less than 5 days. You may check @fabio post in pages 430

NOW it sealed. ?
Steady for 1 hour, I want to test also this DDC 1T Plus PMW? still 18W but lower flow rate, like 600l/h, maybe it is also quiet?? Let's see!

Here you can see the type of silicone (various brands are ok I guess) and the original gasket removed.
(Of course, I've used a few clamps for wood to keep it pressed for 24h!)

What is the pump attached to?

If you can, add this to your build log if it fits in the case

My bad, I thought it was something different. Could I use the gasket maker on the DC-LT 40? The one it comes with kind of sucks
Seriously? for me until now is the only one that was working perfectly! Where is the problem exactly?

It's not holding pressure, I have another one on the way because the plastic threads broke on one of the screws so what I am thinking is replacing the existing gasket with the make your own gasket compound and then glue it in place so everything holds together securely. That is if the new dc-lt 40 breaks too

Any update on shipping for 07/24? @Wahaha360

As of this writing my order from the first batch has not shipped.

Same here. And @shopan from the other day too-- any shipment notice for you yet?

Wondering if @gwertheim or @Wahaha360 know of any possible delays to the July 3rd order cohort in relation to supply issues that we heard about earlier this morning. No stress whatsoever, as waiting is waiting. Just wondering if I should plan for later dispatch

Can you send a picture? Just to understand!

Going with the cheapest Aurora block for AM4 for now, may switch it out for Wahaha's Freeflow or get one of them OptimusPC block.
I would personally use the EK Quantum Magnitude block instead of OptimusPC.
@fabio has used both and he came to the conclusion, that the EK one wins in every aspect.
-same cooling
-better flow on EK
-better mounting on EK
-more options on EK based on preference
-better availability in most cases
-same, if not better quality for the EK

I would argue that the optimus block is more refined than the ek based on the fact that one of the designers worked in the aerospace industry which has VERY tight tolerances. Yes the availability is an issue but the fins is something new and has the potential to be better.

Same with me - no shipping notice for me today (ordered on July 3).

I have the blocks.
The Magnitude quality is HIGHER in general. The price also.
The fins instead, you see that the Optimus are special made. But are so thin than a few of them were bent from factory.

If you are in US, I will go for it.
The AMD mounting system is scaring though.
And because it is high restrictive, I will not suggest to use it with the DC-LT.

BUT, the Velocity of EKWB or the Heatkillers are way cheaper, and performing almost the same.

Tru, they still have a long way to go in terms of quality
