    Build-my-own AIO for watercooling a gigabyte 6900xt?

    Else you could buy an Eiswolf2 for your GPU and then change the rad for a smaller one (that has a fill port).. kind of a waste admittedly but not sure it'll end up that more expensive, and rather simpler to build...

    Lighting up my reservoir

    I was able to get a 60mm LED ring from a local French store/site (docmicro.com), getting it from Aquatuning (Germany) has too expensive shipping costs 11EUR for a 15EUR part (and I have nothing else to buy currently...)

    Lighting up my reservoir

    Ok, seems it's also available at French docmicro.com, will get one from one or the other Still I'm a bit sad to not be able to buy your products at your shop !

    Lighting up my reservoir

    Oh ok.. Now what should I do ? Seems I can get one remaining in stock in other shops, would rather do that than buying another reservoir (already have 2 Eisbechers as the first one I got was too big...)

    Lighting up my reservoir

    Maybe but there's a special ring that will look better and should be available here (Aurora 60mm), problem is the store search don't work well and I can't find the item, only the 50mm shows up...

    Lighting up my reservoir

    Nah won't work for me I've attached the pump+res to the front rad not near the mobo state lights...

    Lighting up my reservoir

    I've installed an Eisbecher reservoir 150mm with a VPP755 pump underneath, it has no lighting at all so it looks a bit sad :) Not sure about which item I could use to add LED or RGB lightning, seems I need a 60mm diameter ring, but only find the Aurora LED Ring 50mm which won't fit ? Is there...

    Replacement washers for Eisbaer/ AM4 mounting

    Ok just did that, thanks !

    Replacement washers for Eisbaer/ AM4 mounting

    The AM4 mounting for Eisbaer requires washers on both ends of the screws.. After several upgrades to my cooling I've just lost a pair of them, and now can't use them anymore, I've just removed the rest and only use springs on the screws ! It doesn't seem to be that big of an issue as the cooling...

    Cooling a 200W 5900X

    Happy ending ! :) Adding a VPP755 pump+150mm res, and repasting using a larger quantity of paste (Arctic MX-5) did it, I'm now at 36C idle open case, 40C closed and under my desk, then gaming went from 80ish to 65C and full load from 85C+ to 78C... Using board limits so up to 200W with high...

    Eisbaer 280 high CPU temps under load

    Ok I didn't rotate my head accordingly :) Lack of coolant could still be an issue, you can try moving the air, but Alphacool made tutorial vids on YT to showcase how to refill an Eisbaer, which will be better

    Eisbaer 280 high CPU temps under load

    The temps you have on a 3900X are enormous, I've used a 3900X with a 280mm Eisbaer and never had more than 75C with 23C ambient Mounting pressure won't never give you 15C less, I've lost some washers and now don't use any, didn't see any difference But from the pics it seems that you use only 1...

    Cooling a 200W 5900X

    Already did that, using -20 ticks undervolt on standard limits and -30 with increased EDC, can't go any farther ! Will add a VPP755 pump, repaste and see what happens

    Cooling a 200W 5900X

    Ok, didn't know that So is there any cooling solution (short of LN !) to get better temps by like 4C (which is the difference in my usual gaming between stock and increased limits 75C vs 80C, in CBR23 it's 12C less but it's just a benchmark)?

    Cooling a 200W 5900X

    Interesting, but it's kinda what I thought because the heat spike occurs so fast (like 3 sec from 40C to 80C+ running CBR23) that I wondered how any cooling could manage this... Well will keep stock limits then, it keeps temps under 75C which is reasonable

    Cooling a 200W 5900X

    I'm now proud owner of a 5900X :), and I've played a bit with PBO2 Using increased mobo PPT TDC EDC limits (X570 board) Undervolting to -30 ticks Results are good, except on the heat side, as max power consumption is now 200W, and temps quickly rises to 85C+ under stress/benchmark (CBR23 for...

    Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 280 High Temps (Dead Pump?)

    Re your pic I'm not sure that one tube connecting CPU and GPU is the best setup, could you rather connect cpu => rad1 => gpu =>rad2 => cpu ?

    Can Eisbaer 280 handle 5800X and 3080 Ti?

    I'd say no, my Eisbaer 280 with same P14s than you already struggles with a 5900X alone (up to 85C with fans at 90%...) I'd suggest you add a 360mm rad to your loop
