This is a great mod, thank you for this! I am going to try it out when I build my rig. I assume several different chipset blocks could work here. I always assumed they were made for certain boards, but I guess those are the big monoblocks.
@@jornmulder well I have it installed on the board and it looks great - but I haven't run my tubes yet to finish the build. Covid got in the way and took my wife from me, so I've been dealing with all of that lately and kind of out my rig on pause. I am looking forward to finishing my system soon and I can update you when I get started up again.
Its really easy to do. I did it because I wanted a really quiet system and I didn't want to have to deal with a whiny fan that would eventually fail in the future. Peace of mind with very low temps make it a win overall.
what is the thickness of that gpu + waterblock? My ek chipset block only allows one slot cards so most gpus even with a waterblock will not fit in the top slot.
Is the EK block supposed to be mounted upside down? I know some of them are either-or while others have to be mounted with the logo in the bottom right corner.
Can you do this on itx board? Or some other method to eliminate fan noise such as replacing thermal pad with thermal grease? Appreciate any additional uploads showing this
I have yet to see a x570 that is noisy when it comes to pch fan, and im running inaudible rigs (idle/low load you cant tell its on). any universal block that has amounts that will fit the board is fine, pch only has about 15 w you need to dissipate.
It can be done you just have to measure everything to fit. Plan out the layout of the itx main board. Also be aware that some itx boards place the pch in non standard locations. I prefer thermal grease versus pads. There are other RUclips videos that show thermal grease methods with different ways of application. Have fun building your system.
First I wanted to go with the Aorus Elite or master, but I got a great deal on the X570 Taichi so I went for it. I so regret not going with the Aorus. EKWB also just announced a chipset waterblock. Overall the Taichi is running hot and the chipset fan is right under the gpu with the gpu blowing hot air directly into it. System is unstable. Need to watercool everything probably...
First looks amazing ! Great Video and BuildDid I would really appreciate if you could do me a favour and pass me some details or links to every part you bought and used for this water cooling build. Did you have external pomp for it? I have got exactly the same processor and CPU. Thanks for help
@@teknoromeo6170 I think they know what they are doing, all that stupid stuff is on purpose obviously. Do you think manufacture who can make motherboard can't make stupid cooler for chipset? I don't believe that, it must be some marketing. They probably show better MBs with better coolers later for crazy money and say "You want cold chipset? You have to buy 500eur MB" :-D Proof that they can make good chipset coolers is in the past, look on older MBs, they could do that in the past, but they can't today? I don't believe that. I had this motherboard in 2008, in that time this was absolutely common on mid class MBs www.svethardware.cz/recenze-msi-p35-platinum-combo-je-libo-ddr2-nebo-ddr3/18833/img/body-50.40D8.jpg just use one stupid heatpipe and move that heatsink somewhere where is more space and problem solved for 5 eur. I don't understand why they think we are so stupid.
Any idea if this will work on the Asus Strix X570-E? If so could I fit this even if my GPU block is in the second PCIE slot? I see your also using EKWB 3/8" / 1/2" perfect since I got some spare fittings and tubing just got to buy the block!
Is it making a lot of noise? im interested in this board. One of the bios updates states they implemented a new chipset fan profile so when does it turn on with your usage scenario ?
can the chipset fan be removed and replaced? I hate it to not be able to use my MOBO when it dies...i plan to use it for years and years,,.,since ryzen procs are usually backward compatible..
Dude, your video shows you mounting the SSD directly to the motherboard. There is supposed to be a stand-off you need to install first, before you screw it in. I hope for your sake you figured that out.
good work...by da way what bios version u r using. i have heard dat da bios is having trouble recognizing nvme ssd. did u face any trouble n what ssd u r using...n what ram brand u r using cause also heard that there is trouble also in ram recognition on this board ...is this true..i have da same mobo n planing to get 3700x for it which will suffice my needs i guess......
I experienced no problems with this motherboard. I'm using patriot vpn100 1tb nvme m.2 ssd on cpu slot location and vpn100 500gb m.2 in second slot. I'm also using 64gb of corsair ddr4 vengence pro rgb ram 3200mhz overclocked to 3400mhz. Because the chipset is watercooled no need for fan curve stuff. Been using the latest bios F7b. No problems whatsoever.
thanks man for the info...it helped me a lot...it was so cool to see u being able to replace that chipset fan with a water block...at some point i will also try it but am a little scared tearing up the mobo..👍👌
@@Brahma-Astra Upon observing users in the various forums I've come to the conclusion that a lot of the problems stem from the fact that the x570 chipset itself is not adequately cooled thus causing weird errors. Even updating to the latest F10a bios I still have not run into any problems. :)
true...i finally decided for the 3800x cause its only 20$ more than the 3700x in my region..by da way i found that this mobo has two 8 pin 12v connectors for the cpu. should i connect both the 8 pins or only one 8 pin for the 3800x....what do u say????
Nice Video. What type of fittings are you using on the chipset cooler? 13/10 or 16/10? They are looking kind of small. And why did you turn the CPU cooler upside down? Is the performance better in this position?
Ek fittings fit 3/8 1/2 tubing. Same size fittings in the whole loop. EK's fittings just look smaller, while the koolance ones look bigger but fit the same tubing. I made the cpu cooler upside down so that the cpu out goes directly to the GPU block straight and the radiator to the cpu block in does not bend too much. Either upside down or right side up works as long as the in and out are correct in the loop. Thus the cooling temp is excellent!
Hey. I have the same board. My PCH fan was broken and Gigabyte can send a replacement. They said I didn't need to replace the heatsink to replace the fan. Do you know how I would replace the fan? It seems the the heatsink and cooler are attached from the looks of your video.
@@teknoromeo6170 thats a shame, thanks for letting me know! atm using an old X370 board, so I dont have a PCH fan. Its looking like a X470 with better VRM is a good choice?
I would compare the sound to a vacuum cleaner, just much quieter. The waterblock isn't really necessary. Simply replacing the thermal pad with paste lowers temps by 10K. I also have a 140mm fan at 300rpm blowing air below the graphics card and across the PCH to remove the trapped heat. Now the PCH fan never turns on. My system is otherwise completely passive (at least internally).
+2 min of video that have nothing to do with the title. if i wanted unboxing/nvme install, ill google for that... Not even talking about the fact that mounting the rad as intake on the front is the only reason the pch needs cooling. Mine stays around 65C with fan off, below 80C under full game load (rad top of case as exhaust), especially since the 2C lower cpu temp you gain are less relevant on zen2, having lower case/chip/vrm temps is much more important (and with the rad setup as exhaust it can easily be around 20-30C).
Thank you for your opinion. I've been gaming the heck out my system with the latest games. Zero problems since I made the video and very pleased with my results. :)
Thanks for this video and tip! Installed the same today. For now all seems ok.
This is a great mod, thank you for this! I am going to try it out when I build my rig. I assume several different chipset blocks could work here. I always assumed they were made for certain boards, but I guess those are the big monoblocks.

EK makes the chipset waterblock for this board too. Looks better and fits with 4 screws for more stable surface contact.
Yeah but I couldn't wait. But the system has been working well 24/7 gaming online. I can't complain because it works very well.
Thanks for this. Interesting, I took the baseplate off my X570 master, and on the backside of the motherboard it looks slightly different.
You might have newer revision.

Looks good! I feel like I want to do this to my Master as well.

You can get everything from performance PC. Xspc reservoir and pump combo in 5 1/2 bay. All fittings, tubing, and liquid are purchased their as well.
Hmm, interesting. Wonder if the block fits for an SLI setup, looks super tight though. Would look bad ass having tubing between the cards!
Forget about sli one card wont go either.. lol
Given that without pcie riser .. 4-5% performance decrease with riser
hi, do you have some idea to use a air cooler for pcb? i've no custom loop. tx raffaele
Can we used Liquid Metal on the chipset die?
This should work for all X570 motherboards, no? looking at the x570 taichi/unity or asus x570 ace for my first build.
Just to make sure measure the heatsink hole points for the universal cooler to work.
2005 - in future everything will be more effective and big coolers won't be nessesery

Just colored diodes for on board sound.
Is this clear soft tubing with black liquid?
Did you apply a thermal paste to the chipset or left the factory thermal pad on? Ive heard replacing it with a paste drops temps by 20C.
