Hey guys. i used to spend a lot of time around here back in the socket 939 days and a little bit in the haswell days. Did a few SFF watercooling builds back then im still proud of, but now its more.. sedate.. im not as into the extreme overclocking or crazy small builds ect..
This year id like a new system around a 2700x or 3600 on x570.. prob the x570 elite.. but we will see.
id like to reuse as much of my liquid cooling as possible though i expect to need new hold-down hardware ect.
I have a XSPC OG Raystom id like to use on am4. alternately i have a swiftech Appogee 1u for LGA 775 i wouldn't mind using if i can find the non 1u top for it.. months ago when i looked at this, the parts were available but it seems now not so much lol...
raystorm top would be easy to adapt so id prob go that route... i guess the question i have to ask you fine people in 2019... what are the GO TO pump's on the market? i have a OG D5 pump body but the impeller exploded some time ago so i think i tossed it expecting to find a replacement.. a quick google search says NO YOU CANT HAS... so i also have a xspc dual bay res for d5 that i cant use, since new cases don't have bays lol.. particularly the mesh c im using now.
which d5/ddc based pumpres is recommended? is the d5/ddc still the main go to choice? what alternatives are there in the current market? I have no interest in Aio Cooling and will be cooling a gpu as well. for now i plan to keep my rx580 but would like to buy a 5700xt or similar price/spec card at some point. since TDP hasnt changed super significantly id expect my original black ice pro3 with its high fin density would still be sufficient?
i see a lot of very expensive hardline builds these days which are pretty.. i don't really bother with that stuff though. i use hardware store tubing and old fassioned hose clamps heh. kinda oldschool, looking to stay that way.
