To be honest, I've always loved EK's products. My last one was the stunning Red Devil 6950xt waterblock with polished stainless backplate. It occured to me, however that prices were going through the roof to maintain a good watercooling system when using EK products. My last block I bought was...

Yep, Putin is showing Stalin levels of deplorability. Russia has been ruled by fear & ignorance for many centuries. Should be treated like NK, a rouge state. difference is, Russia has something the West, China and India need/want.

Tbh, Russia's/USSR's history is littered with assainations of dissidents, and people who oppose the regime. You can look back all the way to the Tsars in the 18th century for recorded history of these happening all the time. Irocically, I've just finished watching Litvinenko on itv. Can't...

It's pretty clear by now, not that it needed to be any clearer, that Russia plans to be in this on a much bigger scale. The provocation from Putin is at the point where soon, something is going to happen to a NATO country and we, as a collective have an unthinkable decision to make. The dragging...

Just watched this video, and it's quite bleak, not just for Ukraine - but the whole western world. Quite chilling if you ask me.

Either way you have to imagine a scenario, where NATO are damned if they do or damned if they dont. If Russia hits a NATO base, and we sit there and do nothing, then that just informs Putin what he probably knows anyway and that he can target the Baltic NATO countries. If Trump gets in the White...

Everything that I've been reading lately is that we don't have enough stockpiles of ammunition to keep giving Ukraine. The problem with production is that the West/Europe hasn't been on a war footing for some time and have been dwindling supplies for years. We don't have the infrastructure to...

If you listen to most commentators on the subject, you'll get told that stockpiles of ammunition are runningh low, and some countries are actually holding them back for their own use. Money can't just magic up the weapons and ammo needed. Realistically, Ukraine's biggest problem is soldiers on...

My sympathies & condolences to you and your family for your loss.

It's a moot point as to whether Trump wants out of NATO or not. Elbridge Colby, who is likely to play a key role in advising Trump on defence matters should he be re-elected has stated that the indo-pacific situation will be the U.S's primary objective from a defence/militray perspective. NATO...

We're only potent when in a supporting role with the U.S, or other more capable militray forces. I think you only have to look towards Ukraine to see large armies squaring up to each other, and even with that in mind - China, U.S & Russia to name a few have huge armies of troops on the ground...

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. My nephew is currently in the process of leaving the army, and has said that with all the group of friends that signed up at the same time, only 1 remains. He said it's rife in the Army right now. The UK miltary is like that single member of a gang that...

It's a total propaganda joke from the UK to be showing support as a military power, when in actual fact the ONLY reason we are considred any type of threat is because of our nuclear deterrent. Take that away, and we struggle to get in to the top 10 of miltary powerhouses. If the Ukraine/Russia...

If Ukraine falls, and Trump gets power, then you could see how, on many fronts WW3 could ignite. Russia will aim towards the NATO baltic countries, China will likely look towards Taiwan with real intent, and who knows what Iran could conjure up in the middle east? Any sign that the U.S will...

I wonder what the age is for conscription to Dad's Army - I'll have a bit of that personally. Generally speaking I think getting anyone to 'volunteer' would be non-existant. There doesn't seem to be enough love for patriotic war mongering nowadays, though in all honesty if I'm fighting for my...

I've often thought about having a dedicated dual loop and allocating one rad to each component with dual res and pumps, but obviously costs can be prohibitive - that said I went with a MO-RA 420 and a dual pump set up, just to take the heat out of the case entirely. I opted for 4 x noctua 200mm...

Was that meant for me? If so I'm using an Asus ROG Thor 1000w. I could buy extension cables for the psu, but not sure where for the lengths I'd need.

A bit of a late reply on this, but I'm now in the process of building my MO-RA 420. I'm now in a similar position to yourself regarding power, as I'm going to be running two D5 pumps & a Splitty 9 active, so will need 3 sata power. I don't suppose you could tell me what 3 sata to molex you used...

So just a little update and further questions. After going around the block with various choices, ordering the alphacool 1080 Nexxxos Nova and then realising that it was going to be a hassle to do what I want, I decided on going back to the drawing board and spending copious amounts of money on...

Just a quick update to say that I finally bought my new cpu and went with the Ryzen 9 7950xd, along with the Asus ROG Strix x670-e & two sticks of Kingston 64gb ddr5 6000 cl30 ram. I was ready to go full intel, but I knew it was an EOL socket. Hopefully the cpu is as good as I've read/seem :)
