 The Antidote
FYI, first hydro build so take what i say with a grain of salt. Been building PCs since AMD K6 days if that helps.
Anyway, i understand the complexity of this reservoir, and the quality craftsmanship is amazing! From a functionality standpoint, the spacing of the lower ports was perfect for 3/8"ID 1/2"OD fittings. My beef is that this res and the blue version both leaked around the main caps when the system was capped off and pressure built. Giving the cap a few 1/8ths turns, it snugged up and the leak moved to a seep. This eventually sealed up once the system had been running for an hour or so. I am not sure how, other than using some low air pressure, this res can be leak tested before you install it over your board and risk drops of death :-)
Mine were installed on the exterrior of Lian Li''s T60 Test Bench, photos on FB if Frozen will allow the link. Happy modding!

AM3+ FX-8150
FYI, first hydro build so take what i say with a grain of salt. Been building PCs since AMD K6 days if that helps.
Anyway, this block fit without issue on my new AM3+ board, looks like AMD has not changed the cooling reference design in a few years! The block is heavy, seems like quality construction, ports are too close though. I used some 3/8”ID, 1/2”OD from Bitspower, and the knurling touched as I tightened the fittings to the block. Other than that, the included hardware worked great, very tight fit, temps on my FX-8150 are 9-C idle, but that''s also at 1.7ghz or the lowest underclock they idle at. At 4.6ghz, I am only 45-C. (CPU Only loop)
If Frozen allows, I have a link to my FB gallery for viewing. Happy Modding!
