curious on what people will say as i need to swap out my current aio for a new one (as its 4 years old) and wanted to see what others will say
preferably some that are under ~$120 (i dont have that great of a budget)
i've been thinking about the liquid freezer iii pro but heard some rumors about it being not that great in the long run.
looking forward towards some suggestions

Deltamate MPII AM5 causing mobo shutdown with CPU error

Upgrade from Core 1 to MPII on non delidded 7900. No reinforcement backplate on back of the mobo.

Installed block first with .6nm torque, but temperature was 7c higher. Reinstalled block first with the same result, so tightened block with provided tool and got mobo crashed with CPU led error. If i loose screws mobo works, but temperatures not great. Tighten screws back result either immediate shutdown or crash after few minutes of benching.

Put Core1 back and benched for 2h plus with no errors.

Anybody experience or heard of something similar?

Here is the finished version of my industrial-inspired custom loop.

Following on from my last post, the CableMod PCIe cables finally arrived and I've made a few changes to the loop along the way. I'm really happy with how everything has come together, so I'm finally calling Jan'hammer finished.

Feel free to ask questions and discuss the build.

I have an ek water block and while cleaning noticed cracking. I already contacted ek and they where no help as they had no replacement parts i could order and did not offer any help in fix.

Any tips or advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Edit: i noticed the cracks before I began cleaning, only cleaned with dishsoap and water. Now only using clear coolant used a dyed one in the past.

Made some good progress the other night on my first liquid cooled build. Designed/ 3d printed a pump/res mount and got a good start on some of the bends. Very happy with how its turning out especially considering this is the very first attempt at using acrylic tubing.
