I ran an H50 on my 965 BE, years ago. Seemed to work just fine, I don't see what all the complaints are for. Air cooling has improved since then, but even more importantly, TDP has gone down.

I saw the Linus water cooled room thing and another streamer who ran his radiator down to the basement, but it got me thinking. Why not just put the computers in a basement and then run thunderbolt and whatever else I/O you need up to the room you need it in? That way you pretty much just have monitors and hubs in your work space, and you can run the cheapest, loudest air cooling you want.

Harik posted:He ended up doing that at his actual house, I think. Rack of poo poo in a closet and thunderbolt out to the desks. I'm torn on it myself - I don't want to hear my system running, but if I did water cooling I'd absolutely want to be able to see it - not just to show it off, but to watch for leaks or other signs of problems. So just don't do water cooling if you're gonna put it in another room. Once you do that, size and sound levels are no longer a concern, so run air because it's cheaper and probably more reliable.

Deuce posted:I've been pondering a Desk-PC build, think it would be pretty fun to do. But they seem like a really niche product. I've literally only found: Linus built two different desk PCs. One, a long time ago just mounting stuff under a store bought desk and one recently with the glass top. The first one was easy, cheap and had plenty of room for mess ups. The second one was the opposite.

If any of you were looking to buy an 1080Ti FE to slap a waterblock on, I'm selling mine. It's an EVGA, which has the best warranty service and won't void your warranty for taking off the stock cooler. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3820948

rage-saq posted:Don't you have a custom loop? The Sea Hawk 1080ti came out last week, pricing on it is much better than the original pricing for the Sea Hawk 1070/1080, not much of a delta over good AIBs. My case has no fan mounts. None.

rage-saq posted:Whoops, I didn't specify, I meant the Sea Hawk 1080ti EK came out last week, I got mine in on Wednesday. Its not very useful if you don't have a custom loop. Or places to mount fans or radiators.

You want what's in the picture. Since heat rises on its own, you want the radiator mounted as such to get a little more help for free. The added bonus is your motherboard should also run a bit cooler this way.

GutBomb posted:I’m thinking of putting together my first custom loop. I’ve got a small form factor case (Streacom DA2) and right now I’ve got a 9900k on a Corsair h115i pro and a 2080 founders edition with its stock cooling. This case doesn’t have enough room for a reservoir or even a pump really so I’m trying to find a CPU block/pump combo because on top of the CPU is pretty much the only spot I’ve got any room at all. Is the Swiftech Apogee DrIve II the only option as far as that goes? This guy did a thing. https://youtu.be/IU0GDtj7FnM
