Parallel Cooling

Heii i have another question as some of you may know jayztwocents has a parallel setup with his graphics cards.
So my question is is it possible to include the cpu also with this without having a second loop.
So the cpu would also be in the parallel config.

Pump?

I am going to be doing my first custom water cooling loop soon and I just wanted to get some feedback on the pump selection.

 

I'll be cooling my CPU and GPU in a tight area (not much excess tubing), what kind of pump can I get away with that would cool everything and be near silent?

Hi!

I'm in search of a waterblock for the Asus ROG Rampage IV Extreme. 

Is there anyone that knows where they still have an EK one? I'm living in Belgium so please it must be an european shop.

Or anyone that knows some other brand that makes waterblocks for this type of motherboard? I don't want a full board just one for the chipsets

 

Thanks!

Question about H100i in Define R5 (Front mounting)

January 30, 2015, 11:55 am

So I've decided to upgrade (or downgrade to some people) from my Define R2 XL to a Define R5. The case was simply too big (and heavy!) for my needs and with my current configuration was not as silent as I would like, perhaps because I've overdone it on fans :P

 

My current configuration in R2 XL

  • Top mounted H100i in push (exhaust)
  • 1 Rear mounted 140mm (exhaust)
  • 1 Bottom mounted 140mm (intake)
  • 2 Front mounted 140mm (intake).

 

Fans are all the pre-installed fractal ones, I purchased an extra one before I had all my parts so there is a total of 4 fans, 6 if you include the ones on the H100i. So as you can imagine a bit overkill and not silent.

 

So when I get my R5 (Windowed by the way) i'm hoping to try something different and try mounting the H100i to the front but keep it as an exhaust and use a single rear fan as an intake. I just want to know if that is a good idea or not, I've seen people do it on builds but I couldn't tell if the rear fan was intake or exhaust.

 

Planned configuration

  • Front mounted H100i (exhaust)
  • Rear mounted 140mm (intake)

 

So... advice people, am I planning something stupid? lol. Also sorry if this is not exactly the right place, this topic could probably fit under cases but my main concern is the placement and position of the H100i so you guys know best :)

Hello, I want to get some cheeper water cooling (I do know I can get better performing air cooler,but I am Buying it becose of space in case,and I am geting more ram and atm 1 ram slot is blocked by my cooler.)

So I was thinking about geting Corsair H70, It is fully working,but it is around 3 years old. I couldnt find any good article on subject,so I want to know how long does those coolers last? I know they have 2 year warranty, but how long can they work before pump failing (I suppose there would not get any leaks after I get it working)? Thanks for answers

Now, I'm not sure which AIO to choose (Corsair or Cooler Master)

I'm having a rather difficult time trying to choose between two AIOs. The Corsair H105 or the Cooler Master Nepton 240M. Either would be mounted on the top of a Corsair Carbide Air 540 case with the fans in a pull configuration.

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-h105-hydro-series-extreme-performance-240mm-liquid-cpu-cooler-lga-115x-1366-and-2011-and-am2

 

I would be happy with either one, but which one would be the better choice?

1 x Corsair Obsidian 750D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

1 x Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition CO-9050006-WW 120mm Twin Pack High Static Pressure Case Fan

1 x AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Desktop Processor - Black Edition FD9590FHHKWOF

OK so plan is radiator on top of case in a pull config with the SP120 fans on top. Exhaust 9 top and 120 exhaust back with the 2 original case fans on the front for intake. There is two extra bottom area's for 120 fan if I wanted and 120 or 140 fan space on top of case above the disk bay area. Any input or experience is much appreciated. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nflugg80i5xowji/2015-01-27%2014.30.52.jpg?dl=0

Watercooling loop questions

Regarding my last thread, companies sponsor people for uni and other career related stuff (like building computers and such) at the school event i am going to, so i will see if they will sponsor me to build a watercooled PC as my rig is having some major issues (GPU and PSU related).

Now, onto the question, if i do get a lot of money, i will be (hopefully) running dual 480 rads in a 900D with 980s for 1 rad and a 5960X for the other one. 

here are my two questions:

1) should i get a tall resevoir/pump combo, a dual 5.25inch bay res and pump combo, or get 2 separate units?

2) if i run both rads in a single loop, how will the heat of one component affect the other (e.g, if i am running the CPU under full load via one rad and the GPUs are idling connected to the other radiator, how much will the idle temps be affected(?

Broken Radiator fins = leak?

Hello, I was wondering whether my radiator will leak or not when I start to fill it because when I was screwing my fillport plug back in and I was clumsy enough to accidentally slip screwdriver went into some of the fins and completely wrecked them (its a small area tho) and i'm worried that the radiator will leak if I fill it. Will it leak if the fins are broken?

Thanks.

Hey guys I am planning to get some fans for my radiators and I was wondering which ones will have more control of RPM range, I was planning on getting the PWM ones since in most cases they have a lower RPM range/starting voltage but does anyone know what the starting RPM or voltage of those are.

 

Thanks, W-L

I've had this in there for about a year today, XSPC Blue. Should I change it soon? How often do you change it? Also, what would be the best way without disassembling my loop to clean it?
