Long story short, I have a corsair h110i, like, the original one. It's been in my pc for a long long time, and I've noticed it's not really keeping my cpu that cool any longer.
I will be checking seating and thermal paste, but the thing is gargling a lot when it ramps up, which makes it sound like there's a lot of air in there, and this likely performing not great.
Rad sits above the pump, so no, I don't need to hear about that youtube video about how your performance sucks because of orientation.
Is there any way to confirm this?
If yes or no, is there any way to refill it? I don't really want to buy a new one for an old 1155 socket. Looking to do a full upgrade next year, maybe year after.
After 5 years i've decided to change the liquid that it's on my AIO liquid radiators, but i don't know what liquid it has to be used.
I've searched a lot and it didn't really answer my question, some people say that you should use only distilled water and others say you should use liquid car radiators because it's anti-corrosive.
So i bought them both and i'm going to refill it, but before that i want to know which one should i use?
Thank you.
This was a question in my mind for about few months but everywhere I search it seems to be mixed some people say you need to refill once per year and some people say you never need to refill it. This makes my really nervous in choosing liquid coolers so i always use air cooler.
Just bought an Forzen Edge 360 and it is wonderful in cooling, quiet and yet kept the 14900k under Cinebench R23 at 80C with room temperature of 26C. As their AIOs are going so cheap in cost and all seems to have a refilling port with screw hidden by a sticker, I wonder if they will somehow decide to make some refill liquid bottle like bequiet, I am pretty sure with minor manual they could sell one for like $15 and still sell a lot just for spare for some ppl, seems more environmental friendly than needing ppl repurchase another AIO if it runs low, plus the margin shouldn't be too far?
Maybe it's a dumb question. Pretty sure it is but:
I have a Be Quiet Pure Loop 240 and it came with fluid to refill it. Would it be possible to use any Watercooler Fluid to fill it with and increase it's performance? I'm googling like a mad man rn. I keep finding answers about sealed AIOs and Custom Loops but nothing on refillable AIOs.
I used the AIO before i upgraded to an 5800X3D and sadly, while it was able to cool it, the fan curve had to be adjusted in a manner that would make the thing very loud. So i switched back to Air, which handles the heatspikes better without sounding like a fighter jet. Would be nice if i could "upgrade" that pure loop though, i like the aesthetic but i'm not willing to buy a new and bigger AIO.
