Safe to use ? Won't cause software issue or risk frying my Commander Pro ? Any idea of how where i could buy one or are you not allowed to link it in the forum i guess :/

So my questions is concerning the wiring , i have a Commander Pro which have 2 LED Channel . Lets say on these 2 channel i hook up 2x Lighting Controller which have 6 input on each of them . Can i have 6 fans hooked to LED Channel 1 , and have 3 fans hooked on the LED Channel 2 and my HydroX Loop too or do i have to absolutely buy another Lighting Node Pro ? :sigh!:

Is there enough room to fit a XR7 360 radiator in the front of the 680x with the fan without hitting the graphic card ?

I don't really know what happened there , i suspect i tightened one side too much and thermal paste went to the other side and couldn't get back on the corner i tightened first . But now my problem is gone , 79C 5.0Ghz 1.33V on Prime95 with spike in the 85C territory , i'm very satisfied ! Idling at 30C with all core locked at 5.0Ghz :)

I think i may have found what was wrong . For some reason the thermal paste didn't spread out all the way across the cpu . Went for a X pattern this time ... should be plenty with this application ... The picture is from the previous application , didn't take any of this one since it always end up as a debate , will update you guys with how much improvement i'll get https://imgur.com/a/v5JdC8C

so we've learned that plastic isn't a good thermal dissipator :P

Once again , hi Greg ahah ! Currently i'm running pump and fans at a fixed 50-60% cause i don't want to hear the system ramping up and down . Coolant sit around 29-30 . I am well aware that i have another heat source in the loop , that's why i went with a XR7 which is much THICCER than the one that was on my H150i ahah ! I'm not concerned about the idle temp that much , but i feel like it wasn't spiking that high when applying a load on the CPU with the 8700k . I'm also aware that the 8700k is almost like the surface of the sun :P Like mentionned in my other post for the XG7 , i will drain the loop next weekend to change my fluid . I will take picture about all the process if you guys want !

Of course , i'll probly flush the loop next weekend to change coolant . I'll take more picture and untighten the screw like mentionned above . Temps are really good though , i'm hovering around 26-27 Idle and 45-50 while stress testing the card

Hi Greg ! I did try to losen the screw while i was assembling the block onto the card , and it didn't "unbend" . ATM the card is all installed and it would be a PITA to drain the loop to untighten 2 screws and take a picture . But i know for a fact since i've tried it that it did not work . I feel like the block is pushing the die into the PCB like there's a little bit too much material on the block itself , that's my humble opinion since i'm not an engineer :D:

Just to clarify , i removed the pre applied thermal paste on the XC7 and replaced it with the Corsair TM30 . Tube is brand new but seemed a little bit weird when i applied the first time , it did the same as a bottle of mustard which has not been use for a while , like if the mix inside it had split ... So i'm not quite sure if i had a bad tube . At the moment , before i run intensive benchmarking i use Cinebench R20 just to see if the OC would atleast hold up for a little and see what kind of temperature i get around . And i tried to run Prime 95 just for the sake of it and temp skyrocketed to 100C @ 5GHZ . I'm probably gonna end up applying Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut when i'll drain the loop in the upcoming week . I hope temps go back down . I'm pretty sure my H150i would have got better temps if i had dialed in a 5.0GHZ OC with it :/

Hey ! I installed my fully Corsair custom loop yesterday . Very satisfied with the result at the moment . My EVGA RTX 2080 is sitting at around 26C idle and 45C in Superposition . But i'm a little bit concerned with my 8700K temps . I tried to overclock it at 5GHZ on all core @ 1.33V , seem stable but temps goes to 90C while benchmarking and sit around 40C idle , which obviously i'm not comfortable at . I haven't overclocked it before with my H150i , so i don't have any reference to compare result with . At stock setting in the bios temps sit at 30C idle / 60C benchmarking . I'm thinking i maybe haven't applied thermal paste correctly , but i'd like to see what result some of you get before going in . At the moment i've dialed 4.6GHZ @ 1.2V / 36C idle/ 75C benchmarking which i can live with , but i'd really like to go for the 5GHZ ... which i may have to delid the CPU to get the result i'm expecting :P https://imgur.com/gallery/aPQN2JF

Hey guys , i was wondering if this was normal . I just installed my GPU block on my XC Ultra 2080 and i noticed my PCB was a bit bent in the middle where the chip sit . Would you consider this normal or is it too much bent ? https://imgur.com/a/C8Kam2g

Once again , thank you for your answer ! Have a nice day bud

Thank you very much for your answer Greg ! Have a nice day .

Ohhhh i see , didn't think about this since i have a Thermaltake Core P3 and i have enough room to keep the 3 slot bracket even in vertical mount ! Tought there was compatibility issue with the block and the bracket at first . Thanks for answering :)
