Is prime95 using AVX?

Depending on heat generation, you might be able to run them quite low, actually. My OC'd 2600k and 1070 generate so little heat I can run the fans at minimum with 240+360mm and have very comfortable temperatures.

Thermaltake is aluminum parts iirc, so avoid them if you are going to mix brands. I just went EKWB for my loop, it's been pretty great so far.

Teflon tape is some crazy poo poo, can confirm. I don't think I've ever used it for water cooling in particular, but it makes great seals.

What's a good case that's affordable and supports large radiators?

Well, nearly every case can support a single 240 or 360, and usually a 280 as well, but multiple radiators or even longer ones are rarer, it seems. That's mostly what I'm after, getting a 360 and 240 in this Corsair Air 540 was a pain in the neck.

You know, I think you could probably sell that for a decent price. People occasionally want them, and they're not made anymore iirc.

Iirc, basically all those shields result in increased temperatures. They don't provide any real improvement in thermal flux

So are there any colored fluids that aren't a pain to flush compared to a clear fluid? Pastel worries me. Also, what's the best choice for low maintenance clear tubing?

My system's been running fine, and all I did was assemble it in case, tighten, and leak test without touching for a night. Used the L360 R2. Fans were spinning, but I don't think that matters.

The general rule of thumb is, iirc, 120mm for each component, plus another 120mm for each overclocked component, plus 120mm for headroom. Probably a bit overkill but it works. I have a 360mm and a 240mm for my 2600k and 1070. My temperatures are amazing.

A single 120mm radiator on my H50 only kept my OC'd 2600k to around the 60s. An 80mm....isn't much.

I have a disturbing desire to build a water-cooled ITX system in a tiny case with an external, quick-detachable radiator.

I run a CPU + GPU loop off of a single pump and don't really see a need for a second. My pump is honestly a little on the weaker side, they don't sell this one on its own. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-l360-r2-0 I tossed in another EKWB 240 radiator and just their 1070 block, no backplate. Reservoirs can be as big as you want, they're mostly for looks. Once you have a small one, you don't really need more. They do make it easier to fill the loop without running the pump dry, though. You need 2 fittings for each device in the loop, plus fittings for any other thing you do to the loop. If you have two radiators, a pump/res combo, a CPU block, and a GPU block like me, that's 10 fittings. If I add in a drain valve, that's another fitting or two, depending on how I do it. This assumes you're building a serial loop (build a serial loop, parallel doesn't give you any real benefits). 10/16 and 12/16 refer to the inner diameter/outer diameter of the tubing. You need fittings that match your tubing and vice versa. These measurements from EKWB are in millimeters, and my kit used 10/16. 10/16 is equivalent to 3/8" x 5/8" tubing, iirc, if you needed to know both imperial and metric. The amount of tubing you need varies based on the routing you do, but I found that 10ft/3m is enough for 2 radiators, pump/res, and two blocks. Depending on your confidence and needs, you may want to get more just in case. Scissors (or shears, anyway) are enough to cut through most of this soft tubing. EK Coolant concentrate is enough to fill my loop with a little left over. There are additives and all sorts of fancy coolants if you want to be a kid again. I've been eyeing Primochill Vue The included thermal paste isn't the world's best, but it's more than adequate. Same with the thermal pads.

Which measurement? Being compression fittings, you just need the appropriate ID and OD for tubing to work with EK's fittings. EK lists their tubes in categories based on dimensions, and most places will have it displayed prominently. Example: https://www.amazon.com/PrimoFlex-Advanced-8in-ID-8in-OD-Tubing/dp/B00A0Q55MC/

Oh, no. The fittings are entirely what determine which tubes you use. The L360 kit was a pretty good starting point and gave me some degree of confidence when choosing all these parts, though. Just keep in mind EKWB is kind of a more premium manufacturer, as far as pricing goes.

I pretty much refuse to buy any thermaltake anything. They're all so cheesy, and their water cooling parts are all aluminum, aren't they?

My old H50 was edged out by HSFs half the cost. It also was a lot more convenient than them, since the cooling fins were mounted to the case and I didn't have a big block hanging off my motherboard. As my professor used to say, there are engineering tradeoffs to every decision.

GPU blocks directly contact the die. In CPUs, 9 times out of 10 you're transferring through the IHS and not directly contacting the die.
