hello i actually like the thermal take view 31 i saw it on box.com for £90 which is well in my budget. i'm planning to use one of asus new mothrboards which isn't out yet :/ it is called the asus strix b350-f looks pretty good for the price. using one of the watercooling kits by ek looks pretty easy to install. also do you cut the soft flexible tubing by scissors.
it's an amazing case, i love it, i saw those boards, they are going for a very good price too, i was thinking about giving the b350-f version a go myself, quite like this msi x370 pro carbon i put in the other day too.
overclockers, cclonline and box all have those on pre-order, i get free shipping with overclockers, so i'll probably get it from them.

Hello,
I’m interested in purchasing the Ek Performance 360 water cooling kit. Could you share some advice or suggestions? I have a Ryzen 5 1600X CPU, an MSI Sea Hawk 170 GPU, and I need recommendations for cases as well—specifically, the P and X models. A picture of your PC setup would be helpful.
I’m also looking for a case that can accommodate the pump and reservoir combination, since those components need to be mounted somewhere. Which case are you using? There are different options available, so I’d appreciate it if you could point out the ones that fit best.
Additionally, you mentioned not regretting the kit overall—it’s a great product. Just make sure it includes the AM4 bracket, as I had to request it from EK last year. They provided it for free after I emailed them, but I only paid for shipping.
I’m using a Thermaltake View 31 and have been running it for a short time. For layout ideas, I’ve ordered another triple radiator with RGB fans on the front and a top-mounted unit with more fans. I also brought an EK bracket from them. Here are some links to reference:

hello, i'm considering a nzxt h440 or something suitable for easy watercooling. I'm new to custom watercooling with an ek performance 360 and would like a recommendation. still doing a lot of research. do you need to change the liquid in the watercooling?
Computerguy27 is considering a decision about an NZXT H440 or a model that supports easy water cooling. They are new to custom water cooling with an EK performance 360 and are seeking advice. They ask if the liquid needs changing and what the process entails. The response explains that the liquid should be changed every 6-9 months, though most last longer, and suggests adding a bleed valve for convenience—typically by flushing the system with distilled water and replacing the liquid. Regarding the case, it’s recommended to thoroughly research before purchasing; the NZXT H440 is suitable if desired, as it can accommodate the radiator at the top with fans directing air through it and out of the case. The user mentions a Thermaltake View 31 tempered glass model they like, but notes it’s quite large, making it hard to fit many water cooling options. They emphasize the importance of a leak test after assembling the system—typically overnight for about 12 hours, disconnecting power cables, using a paperclip test on Molex connectors only, and placing paper towels under joints in the water loop. Filling and running the system will reveal any leaks within a few hours, as even a single drop can cause issues.
hello i really like the thermal take view 31 i found on box.com for £90 which fits my budget. i plan to use an asus new mothrboards that aren't available yet :/ it's called the asus strix b350-f and looks great for the price. the watercooling kit from ek seems straightforward to install too. do you cut the soft flexible tubing with scissors?
Computerguy27 shared their thoughts on the thermal take view 31, noting it's available on box.com for £90, fitting within their budget. They plan to use an ASUS new mothrboards, specifically the Strix B350-F, which they find good value. The watercooling kit from Ek seems straightforward to install. They mentioned cutting the soft flexible tubing with scissors. They praised the case design and considered trying the B350-F version themselves, similar to the MSI X370 Pro Carbon they recently used. Overclockers, CCLOnline, and Box all have these models available for pre-order, and Overclockers offers free shipping. The layout of the case is shown in their pictures, and they brought a cheaper model with 2 Blue LED fans instead of the 3 RGB ones. They noted that all tubes are 140mm, which isn't ideal, so they opted for 120mm Thermaltake RGB fans instead.
Hello, I'm checking if the coolant in the Ek P360 cooling kit is suitable or if I need to upgrade to something better.
hello
i was thinking about whether the coolant in the ek p360 cooling kit is adequate or if I should opt for something better. It seems likely it's sufficient, since i'm currently using ek cryo fuel and have tried pastel colors before—there hasn't been any noticeable difference between them.
