Coolant is a vital part of any liquid cooling system – just like oil is in your car's internal combustion engine. And just like engine oil, the coolant needs to be changed regularly to keep your liquid-cooled PC in top shape. There are 5  crucial functions that the coolant performs in liquid cooling loops.

Choosing the right fittings and tubing is almost equally important as choosing any other component in a liquid cooling loop and usually very confusing to beginners.

The launch of new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards has caused some confusion on the market regarding the compatibility and we are here to help set the record straight.

With the launch of new AMD Radeon Vega GPUs, there was some fresh life pumped into the graphics card market. Things got exciting once again, we had new GPUs to talk about, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to revisit a fairly common question. Will liquid cooling improve your GPU performance?

We’ve seen a number of people complain about black EK fittings not being painted on the inside. And contrary to popular belief, that is not the case of EK being cheap or manufacturing process being simpler.
