Production FormD T1 Classic (READ FIRST POST)

[PKAWA]

First time "custom" watercooling (actually just changing the tube HAHA),
Disassembled LT240 today and prepare for the T1 to come,
just want to share my excitement with you all and hope you guys wouldn't mind seeing this noob move~Cheers

If it's used I would suggest opening the water block to inspect the inside because it might be partially clogged up.
I see now that it's been said multiple times so that was a bit unneccesary but thanks for the tip with the lemon juice and toothbrush.
I'm waiting with doing mine until the case is delivered so that I can cut the hoses to the exact size I need, but I'll be sure to use this method.

Did anybody in UK get charged by customs?

So I stumbled upon this video and was wondering if anybody has experience with this stuf?
I've got the ek cryofuel ready for use, but am kinda wondering if this might be a better approach for a relatively carefree loop.

Specialty fluids like Primochill Vue are the last thing you'll want to use for a relatively carefree loop. There are plenty of horror stories of Vue clogging up ppl's blocks and even Jay has another video where Vue made a huge mess. The best bet is always distilled water + biocide/clear concentrate coolant.

The EKWB clear coolant is the best I’ve tried till now

If you watch more of his builds of his personal system you will see that it is a pain in the ass to maintain and is unpredictable to use. KISS (keep it simple stupid)

I second this! EK cryofuel clear premix!

Assuming the entire loop is pure copper only, would both of you recommend the EKWB coolant over distilled water + biocide (Copper Sulphate)?

I wanted to buy some clear cryofuel this time to test it against the alphacool ckc but I could fine any readily available or any that wasn't lavishly overpriced. So now I have a gallon of ckc coming instead because it was the only thing I could find lol. Is it that much better than the other premixes?

On the other hand, many of us are beaming with excitement going from 7.2 L to ~10 L

My poor Dan A4 case all those months running like a toaster with poor airflow, but finally getting time to cool off

I've gone from a Velka5 so I'm almost doubling volume but the reductions in temps and noise will be worth it along with the increase in quality and build options.

 

[PKAWA]

Thanks for the feedback! Good to hear, then I'll stick with the cryofuel I've already got.

Hey guys would this not work well in the T1? What would the problems be?

Doesnt look like the link worked but its the Alphacool Nexxxos gpx block

I just prefer premixed convenience personally, that's all. Distilled water and biocide is fine I think. Are you using copper fittings, too though?

I'm sure it's fine! I don't think there are too many problems with any clear premix.

 

[Speedster]

That’s the way! ??

Oh @fabio, you were so close! ?

Is it the model with the integrated pump? I think it would be fine - can't see any reason it wouldn't.

Understood. I’ll be using brass compression fittings (TPV) with some other copper / brass fittings (T Splitter, QDC, etc).

anyone has experienced this Alphacool SLI terminal? From the pictures it looks like if you add 2 90 degree fittings you get something similar to the EK-FC Terminal Rotary 90°, cheaper as well but probably limited to just Alphacool GPU block

I think those came with my block. I'm heading to bed now but I'll double check for you in the morning
