- <p>Before I built my current <a href="/blog/2023-08-29+Personal_PC_Update+diy+computers">custom computer case</a>, I had ran my first liquid cooled loop in a Phanteks Evolv ITX chassis. At the time, all I knew was EK and Alphacool and that they were very expensive. eBay parts looked sketchy, and I had no idea about the world of quality Chinese parts available. I watched people like JayzTwoCents and stumbled across his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqg6z-4DhxM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">video on a cheap watercooling solution</a>. This solution was the EK Fluid Gaming A240, a fully aluminum watercooling solution. Aluminum is cheaper than copper, so that was how they brought the price down. I was hooked. I bought an A240 kit on Newegg and got it installed with my R5 3600 and Nvidia RTX 2060 FE.</p>

<p>Fast forward a few months, I was frustrated by coil whine on the RTX 2060, and hit by nostalgia from JayzTwoCents videos on Pascal-era video cards and custom loops. I side-graded to a Titan Xp and luckily found a Fluid Gaming GTX waterblock on Ebay. They had retired that block by now in favor of the 20-series cards. I was able to get some extra fittings and got <a href="https://old.scerba.org/html/hobbies.html#Desktop" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the new build</a> installed. It sat like this for some time, and I was happy with how it looked (the main reason I went watercooled).</p>
