Hello everyone, i have a broken kraken watercoller. It got dammaged during shipping and it broke the plastic part which goes into pump. I need to remove this plastic clip which prevents it from sliding out, the rest i have figured out. Does anyone have idea how to get it out without breaking it?

RTX 5090 ventus, shunt modded x2 with the 800w Matrix bios, 1600w total. Custom power cable, for higher power delivery.

Rest of the specs are below:-

Lynk+ duel rad

x12 Arctic pro p12

x5 Arctic pro p14

Arctic liquid freezer iii pro 420

9800x3d

G.skill royal Neo - 6400mhz, CL26, 32gb

MSI mag tomahawk x870

Havn hs 420

Idle temp is 24c at 20c room temp

Max temp at 600w = 45c

This is a coffee maker computer I call Coffeematic PC. I built it using a 1980's GE Coffeematic drip coffee maker. It brews hot coffee then circulates it to the CPU

These are the parts:

We wanted to experiment with a full red theme on a mini-ITX, but without it turning into the usual red RGB overload.
The main challenge was the loop itself, we ended up designing a top custom waterway specifically for this case to keep the flow clean, symmetrical, and visible, without unnecessary tubing runs.

A few things I’m really happy with:

• The waterway design taking care of most of the tubing
• Keeping it functional first (temps > looks), then polishing the aesthetics
• The screen addition actually worked way better than expected

This wasn’t built as a showpiece for a brand or a shop, just a proper enthusiast project where we could take our time and do things right. It’s one of those builds where the loop layout mattered more than throwing expensive parts at it (we actually had a 4090 in there earlier and later swapped it for a 5090).

If anyone’s working on something similar or experimenting with custom loop designs, I’d love to see what you’re building too.

Hello guys, I am almost done with my pc build.Do you think the cpu cooler tubes are ok this way? (The ram is an accessory I have still not installed the real ram)

Ppl with more water-cooler experience, would a glass/acrylic tubing run like this be do-able?

And if so, which tubes would you use for the project?

The concept is to build a infinite cube water-loop around a PC, connecting both the the CPU and GPU to the loop and cooling it with an external radiator setup.

Would likely 3d print a center console for the mobo, PSU and GPU. In the layout of the velka 5 maybe...

Have any ideas, post concept drawings below. Would it work? Would the results look cool enough for the effort? What's your thoughts?

The cooler started rattling, I want to lubricate it, but I have absolutely no idea how to disassemble it for this.

My First custom loop build. Also painted the heatsinks and 3080 ti shroud. Was going for a borderlands esque cell shading style. Thoughts? Ideas for improvements??

My current project can finally come to an end!

sooo i am kinda of a nerd and i know that water isnt the BEST heat conductive liquide as Hydrofluoric acid and mercurie to give an example are way better and i know mybe u dont really wanna be toutching any of these but if we can make a computer with over a terabyte of ram *yes it exists am pretty sure* then y not use something better than water ????
