  1. I would like to do a vertical GPU mount in my 7000d case. Rather than use a vertical adapter, I'd rather just use the built in mounting option (above the PSU) that this case provides. The issue is that the only truly compatible cable that Corsair provides is PCIe 3. I know the LinkUp PCIe 4 cable would work, but it would sag when mounted above the PSU, since it's really designed to be installed into a vertical adapter. What's the best option for a vertical GPU mount in this case (above the PSU)?
  2. Yep, mine looks just like the Amazon review. It's weird, any Corsair soft tubing I've ordered over the last few months changes color. The older stuff I had from early last year doesn't have any issues.
  3. I installed some new Corsair soft tubing a few weeks ago. Since then, it's turned this weird yellow/brownish color. I'm using all Corsair parts, as well as Corsair clear coolant. What would cause this?
  4. I have 2 RAID 0 arrays configured on my Crosshair VIII Hero X570, using Corsair MP600 1TB SSDs. The first array is on the motherboard m.2 slots. The second array is on the Asus HYPER M.2 X16 GEN 4 card installed in the 2nd PCIe slot. I assumed the benchmark results on the Asus card would be at least as good or better than the motherboard RAID 0. However, the sequential read speed on the motherboard array is around 8571 MB/s and the Asus Hyper card array is around 5076 MB/s. Why would the motherboard RAID be faster?
  5. Is there a way to update the firmware on an MP600 when it's part of a RAID array on an X570 motherboard?
  6. Does rotating the CPU water block 90 degrees on an AMD CPU (3900x) affect temperatures very much? I've read conflicting observations/opinions. Some state that it matters more on AMD CPUs than it does on Intel.
  7. I know given the fact that heat rises that it's generally recommended for bottom radiator fans to be set up to pull air inside the case and top radiator fans to push air out. For aesthetics, I'd rather have my bottom radiator fans push air out. Does it really matter?
  8. I'm thinking about placing the Bitspower Hexagon Flow Indicator into my loop. The reviews on Amazon seem mixed. Anyone have this installed?
  9. Has anyone installed (or found images of) a 360 XR7 with push/pull installed in the bottom of the Lian Li XL case? Just curious how much space it takes up at the bottom of the case. Also, it it true that the QL120 fans are poor performers with radiators?
  10. Is it recommended to use a push/pull fan configuration for the thicker XR7 radiators, or will doing only push or pull work as well? On that note, does push vs pull make a difference?
  11. I'm using mostly Corsair parts for my new water loop, with the exception of the GPU block, which will be EK. The EK documentation warns that the G1/4 fitting thread length must not exceed 5 mm. Do the corsair fitting fit within this spec?
  12. Will the Crosshair VII Impact mini-dtx in bottom of 1000d? Rather than the normal 17cm x 17cm, the mini-dtx is 20.3 cm x 17cm. The extra length would come out toward the 1000d side panel.
  13. Will the Crosshair VII Impact mini-dtx in bottom of 1000d? Rather than the normal 17cm x 17cm, the mini-dtx is 20.3 cm x 17cm. The extra length would come out toward the 1000d side panel.
  14. Looks like I'll be going the EK route, since they actually support my motherboard with their blocks.
