Evolve DNA 40 clone temp control - first look :)

Bob most cpu's have an auto shut down if they get too hot to protect themselves, so just get a new fan or cpu cooler and it will be good

[tchavei]

Let's just hope the liquid did stay where it belongs or its not just the fan you will need to replace.

If it's just the fan, I agree with jcol... a bit of thermal paste and a nice cooler and off we are

Unfortunately I have never been good at taking things apart and putting them back together again, not too bad at replacing things like the PSU, HDDs and any cards, but when it comes to CPUs and heatsinks, I have destroyed a computer in the past, so would rather have a professional look at it.

See my reply to jcol, Think the liquid is okay, would have seen some leakage otherwise, don't know if the heat would make it evaporate or not, should they be topped off every so often - what I was getting was a horrible grinding noise, thought it was one of the drives at first, but after opening the case and disconnecting the normal drives, found it was coming from the where the cpu is located, and the company that made it for me are up North and the guarantee has run out anyway now.

any one know where i can find ni200 tempered instock? stealthvape dont have 28awg

In the winter it's common for ball bearings to dry out and you get a horrible noise. My quick fix is to kick them and they will shut up (and keep working) which gives me time to keep working and replace the fan before I kick it too many times (and break something )

Liquid coolers usually need some topping off albeit not frequently. It's like our car radiators. Sometimes you need to top it off even if you don't have a leak.

I burned the first cpu and processor I disassembled (20 years ago) but at that time cpus were symmetrical (486 dx4 100mhz) so I connected it the wrong way (90 degrees off). The magic smoke left and I wasn't able to put it back in

Fair enough.
If its a close loop cooler like the corsair H50 or kuhler 620etc.. these cant be topped up but the fan might be able to be changed.
If its a custom Water cooling loop then these can.
you can pick up a decent air cooler for £20 these days, and they come with the thermal paste already supplied, and instructions on how to mount it

edit. grinding noise sounds like the pump has gone. so the liquid is not circulating.

aploogies for going off topic OP

OK, I have a flask on order with FC. For simplicity's sake, what is the best NI wire to buy? What is the difference with the tempered wire? And where is the best place to get it in the UK? I'll be coiling either the Lemo, Orchid, Subtank or KF4, if that makes a difference

[tchavei]

Tempered is by far the best. You can get it from stealthvape.co.uk

Talk to Rob. He's the Best.

They are, but seen a couple of post today saying they are OOS.

Tempered is stiffer or more kanthal like to work with, there was another UK vendor, but can't remember who.

Thanks for the info and agree we'd better get back to the topic, think that was my fault.

Vape Mesh company, think Midlands sell some as well, googling "Ni200 UK" brings up a few vendors

[matie33]

yee, but i looking for tempered ni200.

[Greigster]

Got mine from vapemeshcompany, not tempered but works fine.

lairey I find that .32 seems to work best in the lemo.
