Thanks for the post. I just built my first PC and followed your guide for installing the Arctic freezer. The build took me almost a full day, while I tried to figure out everything and followed various KZread videos. I still need to start it up and install the software, and then I'll see how I did. But thanks for your guide; it really helped.

Hey, thanks for the vid. I am going to install mine this weekend on my first PC build. Which of the two cables do you recommend installing. The "all-in-one" or the individual cables? Pros cons?

@jackshardware

4 ай бұрын

This is going to come down to preference. The single cable will look better but the 3 to 1 cable will give you more flexibility in playing around with the fans to adjust sound level. Since this is your first pc build be careful installing the water block to the cpu. Ater you get the first side threaded to the mounting bracket you need to be careful getting the other side threaded. It takes a lot of pressure to push the leaf spring down for screw to connect with the bracket.

It seems to me that there is a problem with the installation or cooling or something else that must be investigated because in such sizes the temperature is low, in the range of 70 to 80 and the consumption is at 192 watts, the cooler is in control mode. A 420 cooler was tested at 13900k and it was drawing 260 watts and the temperature was 75. degree

@@jackshardware lol I was watching your video and like wtf hows there is space in front of 420mm radiator, but turns out your case is 7000D xD I bought Lian Li Lancool III White, man what a mess I barely fit radiator even if it supports 420mms just ALFIII 420mm is thick lmao, I guess I will buy 360mm next time, idk about other countries but in my country some 420mms are cheaper than 360mms...

​ @jackshardware I also found out that it could be difficult to mount the water block to the CPU. My workaround was this: 1. First mount the pump to the brackets (but do not tighten it yet) 2. Then mount the brackets with the block to the motherboard (tighten the four motherboard screws slowly and diagonally to the other screw). 3. Now tighten the two screws that mount the pump to the brackets This way, it's much easier to mount and minimizes to slip the screwdriver into the motherboard while trying to screw the pump to the bracket.

2:19 Can I unscrew those 2 tubes and reattach them? I’m thinking about passing them through my cable management slot on my Evo XL so the tube isn’t hanging. However I need a AIO that I can remove and reattach the tubes. Those here look like they are fastened with the white knobs.

@jackshardware

3 ай бұрын

I can't tell how easily the tube's come off. I wouldn't recommend trying to cable manage them. The tube's are stiff and any kind of bend in them will restrict water flow and also increase the risk of leakage.

I connected the cables on my asus board they do work but on my bios only two fans are running CPU fan and CPU OPT fan , but non of the chassis fans are running and I connected one to chassis fan 2

How do you think this would perform Without vrm fan? My itx build isn’t using any controllers and I won’t have a spare header. Thinking of using the 3 in 1 to control pump speed and cpu fan speed but not sus the vrm fan

Most aio's don't have vrm fans. You can always get a fan cable splitter and use either the pump or cpu fan header to control it as well.

Hi, does someone know if I use just one cable for everything the pump is always at 100%?

hi, sorry if I bother you, I'm new to the field and I'm about to build a computer but I have a doubt, I'm about to get this AIO but I would like to replace the fans with 3 Lian Li UNI FAN SL V2 since I have 7 others. I know it is possible to connect the 3 fans via daisy chain to each other and then connect them to the lian licontroller. Once this is done, what cables should I connect to the AIO to be able to manage the pump and fans via L-Connect3? I ask because I don't even know if I can manage the AIO from L-Connect3 because it is not from lian li. Thanks for your help and I hope the message isn't too confusing.

I would just connect the pump and vrm fan with the single cable to the motherboard and control it that way. The pump is pretty quiet so you can probably just leave it at the default fan curve.

Es una temperatura muy alta para un R5 7500f (No me refiero a la temperatura que pueda soportar el CPU, es una temperatura soportable, pero para un 7500f debería estar alrededor de los 65° como mucho), lo más seguro es que el AutoOC de tu BIOS sobre exija tu CPU y aumente demasiado el consumo y frecuencias, pasa mucho con AM5

Just installed the 280mm version of this. The AIO pump and fans at first seem quiet however after a while I found that I was constantly irritated by a resonance type sound from around the radiator.

I don't think there is anything you can do. The way the tubes stick out of the cpu block will interfere with the m.2 heat sink. I think you need an aio where the tubes exit the cpu block facing the ram. Without having that specific motherboard I am not 100% sure.
