  1. Channelz - Premium Liquid Cooling Water Distribution Plates

    Channelz - Premium Liquid Cooling Water Distribution Plates

    Water distribution plates, or manifolds as they are also referred to, have been taking the open loop community by storm for a number of years now. In late 2018 Performance PCs took its first step into the custom distribution plate market by purchasing their first CNC mill. Since then we have expanded our line of manifolds to over 20 different SKUs with some of the highest quality in the industry.

  2. Distros vs. Distro Cases - What’s the difference?

    Distros vs. Distro Cases - What’s the difference?

    In our last blog I wrote about the differences between distribution plates and the classic tube style reservoirs, as well as the pros and cons of using either one. Today, I would like to have a discussion about distros and distro cases. In case you missed that last blog, don’t worry, I will take some time to explain what these are… but you should probably go take a look at that last blog as well.

  3. Distros vs. Reservoirs - Which is Better?

    Distros vs. Reservoirs - Which is Better?

    If you’ve been interested in the watercooling scene or even the custom PC community in general, you have probably seen a fair few liquid cooled builds with either a distro or a tube style pump reservoir combo. With the variety, and options available for both styles, I hope this blog can help you all make a decision as to which is going to be best for your custom loop build.

  4. Budget Watercooling Loops from the Best Brands

    Budget Watercooling Loops from the Best Brands

    When I see most newcomers to the watercooling scene try to pick out their first loop more often than not, pick parts from the same manufacturer. This is not a bad idea at all as it is a great way to ensure the best compatibility between all of your components. In light of that, I wanted to personally take some time to go over basic loop setups from all the major brands and about how much they will each cost you. In order to keep it simple, I will go over the price and components from each brand with a D5 pump/reservoir combo, CPU block, 6 compression fittings, 10ft. Soft tubing, and a 360mm thin (~30mm thick) radiator.

  5. How To Pick Out the Perfect Drain Setup

    How To Pick Out the Perfect Drain Setup

    Selecting all the components and fittings for a custom when you are a newcomer to this hobby is a pretty daunting task by itself, which is why we have a three part blog that delves into all those nitty gritty details here, as well as countless how to videos and product overviews on our YouTube channel here. However, today we are going to talk about the part of a custom loop that can stump even veteran watercoolers. This of course, would be the often overlooked, drain setup.

    An In-depth Look at EK CryoFuel Solid

    When it comes to watercooling, coolant choice is one of the hardest decisions to make. Especially in 2020 when there’s dozens of different coolants to choose from. You’ll always get differing opinions on various brands of coolant if you ask around the web as well. I am frequently asked, “what coolant is best for my loop?”.

  8. PDXLAN 2019 - An Event to Remember

    PDXLAN 2019 - An Event to Remember

    PDXLAN is one of the smallest events that we have attended so far, but with this being said it would have to be one of our favorites. The community that gets together to hold this kind of event is one of a kind. They seem more like a family then a random group of people wanting to get together and game. From start to finish we felt welcomed and appreciated for attending with multiple current and future customers coming to our booth to talk about watercooling. PDXLAN is amazing and if you ever get the chance to attend one I hope that you do.
