    Question Whats the difference between these Alphacool fittings?

    He probably was referring to the 2 product lines, not the individual fittings I was asking about. I think the difference is marketing. And he didn't take the time to look up manufacturing differences like plating thickness, or the ID of the inside of the fitting.

    Question Need suggestions for a CLEAR coolant.

    Like the retailer and the manufacturer would both warranty the product, so if one doesn't accept a return the other will? EDIT: That makes no sensnse. I have to think about that.

    Question Need suggestions for a CLEAR coolant.

    In light of this RMA & warranty thing, if I'm stuck on getting an EK nickel+plexi block (and their DDC pump too), would you suggest buying directly from EK or from a retailer such as Aquatuning, Performance-pc, Newegg or Microcenter?

    Can someone confirm this? Not doubting DrMrLordX, just I thought silver & nickel were similar in noble-ness.

    Question Need suggestions for a CLEAR coolant.

    Tell me more about nickel flaking. Like, what would increase its occurance, and can a coolant protect me from it? I thought it was a thing of the past. I have an addiction to shiny metal things, so I need to know before I invest in a CPU block (probably EK Supremacy or Velocity).

    Question Which of these 2 fittings is better?

    Question Need suggestions for a CLEAR coolant.

    I couldn't tell which coolant/additive is the most popular. When I go to the retail sites and rank coolants according to "best selling", different sites give me different results. This is my first watercooling build, so I just want the safest bet, and I figure that would be the most popular...

    Question Need suggestions for 180mm & 200mm PWM fans.

    Yeah, I looked for giant AC & DC fans for those square radiators. Any idea why we have to peice together 4 or 9 fans? A single fan of equivilant area must be more efficient?

    Question Need suggestions for 180mm & 200mm PWM fans.

    I found 2 more, but I think they're not on the market anymore: Silverstone FW181, 180x18mm, 1200rpm, EK-FAN, 180x25mm, 900rpm.

    Question Need suggestions for 180mm & 200mm PWM fans.

    I'm looking to buy a 3 x 180mm radiator or a 2 x 200mm radiator for a i9-9900K + GPU. Trouble is, I can only find 2 PWM fan models: Phobya G-Silent PWM, 180x25mm, 900rpm, (or here) Noctua NF-A20 PWM, 200x30mm, 800rpm. There are tons of 3-pin models in those sizes (Silverstone, BitFenix, Cooler...

    Question How do these Cylinder reservoirs work?

    Question How do these Cylinder reservoirs work?

    I'm considering a cylidrical reservoir for my first watercooling build, but don't understand certain designs. In this model (EK RES X4 250), when the water flows in from the top, doesn't it produce bubbles like a waterfall? In this model (Alphacool Eisbecher 150), what is that inside tube...

    Question Would you drill & tap your acrylic/plexi reservoir?

    FYI, I haven't bought the res yet; just planning the fittings I will need. Something standalone, clear, dual-bay: ^ Alphacool, $37 ^ Phobya, $43 ^ Phobya, $42 I'd also like a bottom G1/4 hole in the res that goes to the standalone pump, but then I have to stop the cyclone somehow..

    Question Would you drill & tap your acrylic/plexi reservoir?

    My radiator will sit outside the case, so it would be convenient if I had a G1/4" threaded hole in the front of the reservoir (besides the one in the back). There are G1/4" BSP taps such as: amazon.com/Uxcell-a15111900ux0239-Flutes-Thread-Length/dp/B01BF4OE2Y...

    Question I need a fitting similar to this (double barbed elbow).

    These are black brass, but I'd like chrome or nickel plated: 2 barbs, any diameter, elbow, but chrome or nickel plated. I've looked all over: aquatuning.us ekwb.com performance-pcs.com sidewindercomputers.com xoxide.com

    Solved! Which soft tubing can bend the tightest?

    Looking for soft tubing, probably for barbed fittings, so OD doesn't matter. Which can make the tightest bends before kinking? I've seen anti-kink coils, but I don't think I like their looks. Any alternatives?

    Question Would you trust inexpensive fittings?

    If I go with knurled metal compression (for soft tubing) I would need almost $200 worth (CPU, GPU, 2 rad...). There are cheaper chrome-plated ones under $3 each, but are they somehow inferior? Would they galvanize with nickel-plated copper/brass? What about Nylon/Polypropylene black plastic...

    Question Why no fins on VRM heatsinks nowadays?

    I've been looking at Asus Z390 boards, but other brands are similar. The VRM sinks have no real fins, more like a few grooves. What hapenned to the importance of surface area? (Asus WS Z390 Pro pics below.) (Click for Hi-Res) I'm aware that chipsets do not get as hot as they used to, du to...

    Question Will a GPU speed up youtube/videos?

    My current, really old, computer & browser are terribly slow, and I blame the megabytes of JS fluff these days. Google speadsheets are unusable. That's good to know, and a relief.

    I have a 80GB, 7200rpm Segate Barracuda (SATA 1.0, 150MB/s) from 2001 and I'm getting a new motherboard soon (Asus WS Z390 Pro).

    Question Will a GPU speed up youtube/videos?

    All of the above answers are such good information. Thanks "NTMBK", "maddogmcgee", and "piokos". I'd upvote your answers, but I cant find an icon for that with the way my old, old browser displays things. The Asus WorkStation Z390 Pro has a PLX chip and can do 2 cards at x16, or 4 at x8. I've...

    Question Will a GPU speed up youtube/videos?

    If my computer can't quite handle web browsing, and I can't upgrade the CPU (its the fastest for the socket), and I'm maxed out on RAM, will adding a GPU make displaying websites, jpegs and videos any faster? Maybe the card can free up CPU resources needed for all the javascript? Assume I'm...

    Question What RAM speed should I get?

    Will faster-than-DDR-2666 require overclocking my i9-9900k? I don't want to shorten its lifespan.

    Question What RAM speed should I get?

    Will faster RAM, or more GB, increase CPU temps? Or will the RAM itself run hotter?

    Question What RAM speed should I get?

    For i9-9900K (not OC), integrated graphics, Asus Maximus XI Hero or Asus WS Z390 Pro, unknown M.2 or SATA3 SSD, 256 GB, 4x4 GB or 4x8 GB RAM. Intel says use 2666 MHz, but Asus says the boards go up to 4400 MHz. That is the part I don't understand. If I'm not OCing, not a gamer, and want my...
