Naturally Aspired PC WaterCooling Club - Page 63

I have a question about watercooling: Is there any "failsafe" devices that can be added, say if the pump stops to function it cuts the power for the system instantly (so it can get overheated)? I have been thinking of gettin watercooling for my system for some time now (fans are a bit too loud), but I'm a bit paranoid...as usual.

Cold Storm · Dec 9, 2011, 10:31 PM

seeing a pump blow up to where it's leaking water is a strange one in deed... Now, if it stops and there is no water flowing, you'll know from it doing a bsod due to heat and that should make you want to check your loop out.

Most all pumps now a day are lasting longer then you think and lasting years to come.. It's really worth the work if you study and know what your doing from talking and working it out.. Now, what you need to do? leak test it first then allow the system to go in.. That's the most "fail safe" that it can go.. Also adding a temp thermometer will allow you to have a digital read out on what your water loop is temped at.. if it's higher then it should be, you can check it out... clean the fans, and go at it..

That's my thoughts and talks when a friend is thinking of water..

N-Gen · Dec 9, 2011, 10:46 PM

Considering water pumps in loops are just modified aquarium pumps you should expect them to be able to take a heavy beating without any problems. I've seen aquarium pumps run for well over 10 years without any problems, so I think the chance of a pump failing just like that would be very unlucky, and as Cold said, the machine would just shut itself off to prevent it from burning up.

sneekypeet · Dec 9, 2011, 10:49 PM

Isn't that what the temp sensing in the chips and the motherboard are for? ( CPU throttling on the chip and the setting in bios to shut the rig down due to temps)

N-Gen · Dec 9, 2011, 11:19 PM

Also GPU throttling. I believe too high temps on a VGA card would BSOD as well, right?

sneekypeet · Dec 10, 2011, 12:14 AM

It will crash the driver, keeping the cards at 2D speeds I believe.

the54thvoid · Dec 10, 2011, 09:33 AM

If the loop is on PWM cooling then you'd notice the noise stepping up too. As the guys have said, a cpu that gets too hot throttles or shuts down - gpu's are the same. I think it's only over volting that can seriously burn things out. Chips are designed with thermal limits and cut offs as design standards.

As for leaks, as Cold said, you leak test it first with mobo off and use either a psu hotwire method (paperclip or retail accessory) or a standalone molex power adapter.

Water cooling is actually very easy and tremendous fun if you have basic technical skills. Just do the research on fans, fins and fluids.

The driver crashed for me when my MemIO temps on GPU #1 hit 99 and roughly when the core on either GPU hit 90, but wouldn't the GPU run essentially at higher temps in idle than a CPU on water? Would take a few extra degrees till the CPU BSODs due to its own temp.

finally got my block mounted on my 5870, its just been laying in my drawer for like 4 months lol

but would you believe i threw away the mounting screws?
yeah i did

but found small screws in my pc box thingie, its mounted now, just gotta cut one of the tubes in the rig and connect the thing, and yeah.....its gonna take some time lol, im wasted

I plug my pumps rpm sensor (or whatever that pin on a 3 pin fan connectors called) into one of my motherboard fan headers so i can monitor it from my mobo software (or speedfan etc)

I haven't checked on my current motherboard, but on my previous one there was an option to sound an alarm or shut down, should a "fan" fail.

Speaking of having stuff laying around for months, I just installed my CPU block on my AMD rig. I've had that block for over a year without using it.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 11, 2011, 11:43 AM

see lol

at least i got it mounted now, but i think my gpu is dying on my, have had small green artifacts for a month now, talked to sneeky, he said it could be vram thats failing,

funny thing is that when i game theres no problems

See, I don't have that option, I use Speedfan for it though.

So when do you get them? When not gaming, like just browsing around and stuff?

exactly, and watching movies

Recheck the ram.. I had the same issues on video.. seen to be I set my multi of my ram down, and boom.. no more stuff.

What CS stated could be, is system stable, does this one crunch?

Wile E · Dec 11, 2011, 08:51 PM

Drivers and codecs can cause artifacting issues too. Update both.

vram or ram ram?

my ram is not oc'd, just running stock. and its started happening within the last month, and i had the system for like 5 or so.

already tried that, no go

Cold Storm · Dec 12, 2011, 03:13 AM

I'm saying ram ram... play around.. just lower the multi... see if it works..

(FIH) The Don · Dec 12, 2011, 03:18 AM

coolio

gonna try it out later then

So did you? Stop slacking like you did with that water block...

(FIH) The Don · Dec 12, 2011, 09:43 AM

i lowered the speed on the memory, and on my cpu, but it didnt help

i cant seem to find the multiplier on my memory, but this is SB, not P55, x58

cant find shit in this bios lol, well nuff tech talk here, its for wc lol

Chicken Patty · Dec 12, 2011, 01:47 PM

It should definitely be in the BIOS dude...

N-Gen · Dec 14, 2011, 10:28 AM

Well my fan controller arrived last Saturday, been toying around on different times of the day (diff ambient temps and what not), and I can say I'm really happy with all my fans on their lowest settings. CPU temp seems to be roughly the same, maybe with a 1-2 degrees Celsius fluctuation in real world usage. I didn't stress test yet because I have been caught up with World of Warcraft Syndrome yet again.

CPU temp seems to be roughly the same, maybe with a 1-2 degrees Celsius fluctuation in real world usage. I didn't stress test yet because I have been caught up with World of Warcraft Syndrome yet again. __________________ Main Rig in Tech Specs Alienware Area-51 m9750 - Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0GHz, 4GB DDR2 667MHz 4-5-5-9, Samsung 160GB Hybrid 256MB Flash Cache 5400RPM, nVidia GeForce GO 7950GTX 512MB Toshiba Satellite L650-13M - Intel Core i5-410M 2.26GHz, 4GB DDR3 1333MHz, Seagate 320GB 5400RPM, ATi Mobility Radeon HD5650 1GB Acer Aspire 5750G - Intel Core i5-2410M 2.3GHz, 8GB DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24, Hitachi 750GB 5400RPM, nVidia GeForce GT540M 1GB (DDR3 ver.)
