Alphacool relies on bulk. HWlabs uses better design to get better cooling, especially if you ramp up the rpm. The old gtx line, and nowadays gtr scale like no other the more airflow you toss at them.

Those rads sound sexy. Upload a pic of em :D I'll shamelessly admit I'm a hwlabs fanboy. The GTRs can't be matched.

This. It just simply limps along. Blizz releases get a month tops of talking and then the talk/ threads become barren.

Nothing to show atm :D I stripped it all down into a new case with no liquid cooling, just ain't got the time to do it or even game on it. Strapped an air cooler on the cpu and put the original fans back on the gpu. One of these days.....

Looked interesting, but yeah....I get translations aren't going to be perfect, but including nonsense like "chud" is just dumb and disrespectful.

Idk, at some point it's easy to stop caring how it looks. Just park it under a desk and let it cool :D

If that's the case, bigger the better. More room for airflow, more fans. I have a Lian Li V3000+ and it's a monster.

Only rotaries that leaked on me were a handful out of a bunch I bought on ebay for cheap. Nowadays I just use barbs and clamps. Mostly for cheapness.

Yeah that was covered in my original post :D I still do custom loops, but strictly because I enjoy the hobby. I don't pay EK-esque prices though, all Bykski/ other Ali stuff.

Meh, the extra $20 is worth it if someone just wants liquid. The extra hundreds upon hundreds for custom loops? Nah.

Yup. D5s die just like any pump. Maybe some brands are more reputable..idk. They all look the same. On top of being what...$80+ for basic D5s on Amazon and that's without heads/mounting..... $100+ for a rad. $15+ a pop for fans. God knows what for fittings/tubing. $100+ for a block..... Or...

Odd outlook but okay.

Eh. They seem to run fine for a good number of years. This is coming from someone who runs dual D5s lol. Just don't buy known bad models.

When you can get a 360mm AIO for $60 it's really hard to tell people to go custom loop. It's really only for the hobby aspect of it nowadays.

Never bought EK. Too pricey. Sometimes you "get what you pay for", but from the issues I've heard about them it doesn't seem to be the case here.
