Custom water. Another iteration.

Guess after starting, it's very hard to stop. I've already posted about finished build, but decided to change things.

I've inverted case, added vertical mount to gpu, change hoses to remove unnecessary crossings, and turned bottom rad, also changed water to blue. Now it looks much better. Next step is probably changing pump to white, and removing arctic liquid freezer, for full loop with cpu waterblock.

Broken motherboard.

Hi everyone, during rebuilding pc in reverse build (lian li o11d evo rgb case), I've broken motherboard by accident.

Mb - gigabyte x870 aorus elite wifi7 ice.

Motherboard was not posting at all (nothing on debug lcd, red cpu). Nothing was helping.

Then, when i was checking mb with magnifying glass - I've found 1 broken element. Probably resistor (marking 0). On photo there are 3 similar small elements around black square. After putting element back in place - mb started to post, and I've shut down it immediately. Now need to repair it properly.

Main question - can I assume ram/cpu are safe, as I've tried to start qpc many times with broken mb.

Сборка кастомного контура сжо

Решил собрать кастомную сжо для видяхи, делюсь фотками. Kfa2 5080 1click oc. Для неё как раз подходит водоблок от barrow. В контуре видяха, два радиатора 240+360, помпа. Контур на мягких трубках, для первой сборки решил не жестить с жесткими трубкам . Плюс отдельно на cpu арктик, который закркплен сверху.

С водоблоком пришлось повозиться. При первой сборке хотспот в 110 за секунду. Что-то не то. Решаю подкрутить болты, и отламываю шляпку у винта.

Разбираю всё, повезло что винт без шляпки выкрутился легко. И вижу что не снял пленку с фазового перехода на кристалле гпу. Снимаю пленку, собираю обратно.

Во второй раз всё лучше, но температуры хотспота опять пробивают верх через пару минут. 100-110 градусов, при 50 на гпу. Причина опять оказалась банальной, помогло открутить прижимные болты на 1/4 оборота, перестарался с затяжкой. Сразу температуры хотспота упали до 75 градусов. Вроде всё ок.

First custom loop, 5080

Just finished my first custom loop. Lian li 011 evo egb, 5080 barrow waterblock, 320mm + 240mm radiators (side + bottom), soft tubes. + 360 aio on cpu(arctic).

Installing waterblock gave me some troubles. First attempt - I forgot to unpeel cover from tpm7950 and broke a screw on 2 parts. Fortunately I was able to unscrew it.

2nd attempt was better - but hotspot was still to high. 100 degree with 50 on gpu. Something was wrong. Thankfully I didn't need to disassemble everything again. It just tightened gpu screws too tight. Loosen the screws have helped. Now hotspot is around 75.
