No probs Sir ill be watching it again. Seems a cool place to work.

i know Im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Reed Baylor Instablaster ;)

@Wilder Stefan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Wilder Stefan it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

You know you're in a good workshop when you see one of those 😂

Nice catch

所以中国有很多玩家特意把他们的LOGO倒转90°放置，很酷。

It`s easy to understand ! Read the comments from the other fan-boys here. You like to have it because your PC needs a lot of bling-bling ?

The metal corrodes until the distilled water has the same concentration of ions as the metal - also known as equilibrium. Very pure distilled water is actually electrically non-conductive because it has so few ions. There are videos on KZfaq of guys submerging entire PC's in water and working for a while (until the water accumulates enough ions to become electrically conductive, then the PC parts die lol).

@@umadbroyolo8413K, but still, is there a way to get a replacement nickel block from EK?

@@christoph6055 I doubt it, but you can try your luck and contact them. Alternatively I'm sure you can just re-anodize your block.

@@umadbroyolo8413 Just contact ek support on tech support - www.ekwb.com/create-a-support-ticket/ I'm sure you can get a new base for much less than 70eur. ;)

Heyo, Alex here. I did try once but I quickly found it just wasn’t something that was particularly worth the time. For commercial products though it makes sense, EK would for instance.

@@bittech1 Ok, I see, you are not EK. That's the question: did EK do any actual RESEARCH on the effectiveness of their fin geometry and overall water flow? Your video shows a plain manufacturing, not research or development. All indications are that they have not done any research. If they did, all their place would be covered with nice colorful pictures of heat distribution and fluxes, with tons of charts about heat transfer flux density (or thermal impedances) per water flow rate. Do you know of any water block manufacturing company who did this?

@@alichen6868 It’s worth mentioning that obviously we weren’t allowed to film inside the R&D offices you know. I’m not entirely sure how you could draw that conclusion from not seeing research print outs in an office, that we didn’t even film? Most likely EVERY major Watercooling company will do some form of CFD analysis at some point when developing a new product.

@@bittech1 I already stated one reason why I think that no modeling was done. The models are usually a badge of pride for a company, and a good marketing tool. There is no need to hide the fact of modelling, and no need to show any actual result that might constitute know-how. I found, however, a significant academic effort in microfin area, there are world-wide conferences etc. However, this does not replace actual optimization of channels, smaller-dense fins are not always better.

on their shop website

hosackies It might be that some people don’t just look at somebody and dismiss them for no valid reason. Should try it some day, might make you a better person 😊.

Actually none of it is automated, they put the parts together manually.

They use a slitting saw in an arbor

Might well be a cost factor for the individual shop that makes them for EK tbh. Fittings are pretty low tolerance parts, sliding head lathes are £££, the additional throughput might not justify the price increase for them.

@@bittech1 if i dont remember to wrong from when i last checked then the price wasent that much higer then a standard leath up to about ø45mm ( im a fully educated machinest btw and love machining. buth the cam and the running on the machine it self and is pretty skilled at it as well )

It's the "He doesn't touch children mustache" and annoying music.

@@stevenmincer7433 More likely answer is that it was a new channel, as they've since added 122K subs in ~2 years. Alex' videos are also among the most informative I've found on YT, and his appreciation for tools and machining etc. is infectious.

Once we have an ideal testing setup then fan reviews will definitely be on the agenda. It's hard to do much without an in depth system in place and we'd rather not do a botched job of it.

@@bittech1 cant wait I'm thinking about getting alot of new fans soon & would like to get some data first

@@Metalhead-4life It'll be a while on our end I'm afraid as it's a pretty big job to outfit for doing it well. TechPowerUp/ExtremeRigs might be able to help out though as VSG did that setup ages back and has loads of data for comparisons.

You have no idea

Context is key, I was handed that one to take back as the machinist wanted to show cutting it without coolant in the way. Unfortunately running a slitting saw without coolant on copper doesn't work out so it exploded, destroying the fins as you see up top.

@@bittech1 Appreciate the reply it should probably have an annotation for that, i figured it wasn't going out the door like that but was just a little confused.

🤣THEY CRASSHED THE CNC! THE PART IS SCRAPPED !!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
