  1. My Watercool gpu blocks only have 2 screws and they don't leak. I would really check for a damaged O ring first possibly a sharp edge etc. Just because it has only 2 screws does not mean that it will leak.
  2. You know what I have found to be the best saw for cutting acrylic tubing is the xacto saw with the extra fine saw blade. I just happened to have one and did a test with a couple different hacksaws and blades and then the xacto saw blade. The cut was very clean with the xacto plus the saw is nice and small so easy to handle. I have not seen anyone else use that tool but from tests cuts I did it cut the acrylic tubing the cleanest.
  3. Ok Thanks Just flushing with distilled water, now just waiting for the rest of the parts to come in.
  4. My two xr5 radiators arrived yesterday and I proceeded to flush one with hot and cold distilled water and to my surprise they seem really clean! I got not large specs of crud out of it and just a couple of really tiny bits. Is Corsair having the manufacture flush the radiators? Usually I get lots of crud out when I flush radiators and go the vinegar water mix flush then lots of water flush's etc before they come clean. Thinking it might be unnecessary to do that with these. What has been the experience with others with these radiators are they all really clean?
  5. Thanks for the information. That clears up the questions I had. Hopefully all the parts will be in next week and I can get building this.
  6. Thank you so much for the info was exactly what I was looking for. So 2 360 xr5's it is. and I think I will go with the 12mm OD tube. On rad in the side panel do you have the inlet/outlet at the top or bottom ? I see you have the top rads inlet/outlet on the right would it be easier to plumb if the top rad has the inlet/outlet on the left and the side rad at the top?
  7. I'm just sorting out all the parts pieces I will need for a hydro x build for my 3900x and it will have a 2070 super gpu as well. Right now I have the system running on air to test it out and am about to start ordering the parts. My main workstation is a threadripper 1950X with 3 1080ti cards all watercooled with xspc cpu block and 2 rads, D5 pump with watercool heatkiller gpu blocks soft tubing. This will be my first hard tube build, I will be building this in a Lian-Li 011 Dynamic case. so I have a couple of questions. Diameter of tube 12mm or 14mm? does it matter? I was thinking of putting in 2 xr5 360 rads but the configurator said 1 xr5 360 front and a xr7 360 top. Would I be ok with just the 2 xr5's ? The xr7 with fans is kind of thick. Any other suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks
  8. So I'm putting together all the parts for my hydro x cooled 3900x system and to get things going until everything comes in I got the ML 120 kit and a commander pro. Everything is hooked up and working on air right now and I am controlling the ML fans with Icue. I have noticed that the ML fans have a whine to them if they go above 600 rpm. It is a high pitched whine and all three of them are making that noise. This is not wind noise. the whine gets louder as I ramp up the rpm's does the wind noise (but the wind noise does not bother me) Is this normal for these fans to whine as the rpm goes up? It is a noise this really bothersome, never heard that from a fan before. Are mine faulty?
