I have AIO for my cpu and didn’t want the expense of building a custom loop so I found this cheap $60 integrated rad/pump on sale. It’s the MSI AIO 280. I cut off the cpu block and cables and slapped on a ram cooler. Stupid simple setup. I’m hoping to get my gskill ddr5 z5 6400 to 7000. At the very least they should run a little cooler. Wish me luck. Any advice on the timings and voltages welcome.

Sweet! I've been thinking about this myself, got an old BeQuiet AIO lying around..
Where's the pump, did you leave it out of the pictures?
Do note that these cheap AIOs usually have aluminum radiators (that's how they reach those prices), so if you didn't account for this with your choice of coolant, it might react with your bykski block. Or so I hear, I never tried mixing alu and copper myself.

This is a first for me, kiddos on the ingenuity. Guess this works because the pump is in the radiator vs the block.
Question?
How did you get the air out without a res? Back in the day people would run the tubes thru a tub of water to act as a res and seal it in the water. Just curious? Or did you just do as you said, cut CPU block off and add ram block.

Basically the tub method but with a bowl. With the loop completed I submerged the water block, detached the inlet from the block then started filling until the pump was primed and fluid started coming out of the block. Then stick the hose under the water to get the flow going. With the inlet hose under water I started shaking and moving the rad in every direction to get the bubbles out. Once I felt like there were no more bubbles to remove I connected the inlet hose to the block while both were under water. That’s about as good as I could get it. There’s still a small bubble in it but it’s very small. It will most likely find a home in the rad eventually.
I will once it’s installed. I got Covid so it’s just been sitting.
🙏I got it to boot 6800 and pass AIDA64 memory benchmark but it crashed on L3 cache test. I feel like I could get it stable but it will take a lot more work. I used this guide. The temps stay below 43°.
DDR5 overclocking (nightmare)
