Is this to much for my D5 To Handle ?

[d1nky]

sweet rig ya got there durvelle, im slightly jealous!

like bones said, more water volume = longer to heat up said water volume plus more heat dissipation = even more energy needed to heat up water.

ive noticed the only problem you have now is fitting it all in the case

if buying a new pump, you may as well add a new res to it. and it can go anywhere between blocks. and keep it on a single loop. (for the sake of simplicity and total water volume)

Personally I don't use a case - I use one of these.

This is the exact model I use for competitve benching and I love it. I'll never go back to benching my stuff inside a case again.

Im looking at the dimastech easy xl bench.

ive never seen anyone use a bench like that ^^ one! seems oldschool but I definitely can see some advantages!

(nice to see you around here bones )

Thx bud

Yea its pretty small XD but i crammed it all in. Can it be put right after the pump before the GPU

 

[d1nky]

I wouldn't go pump - pump - etc - etc

I would try for pump - block or rad - then pump - etc or about 3/4 in. also you can change the speed on the D5 to gauge best temps/flow

I am pushing two blocks and a single 360 radiator and getting much better temps with roughly the same heat input, your issue is not caused by lack of cooling surface.

Same PSU, block and pump as mine..... You been raiding my parts stash?

I have had this setup from 2008 and will never go back to air cooling, in that time I have changed coolant once, and never found anything in the loop, and changed hoses and my GPU block fittings to 45 deg swivels.

25% antifreeze, deionized water, and some dish soap. Run 24/7/365 for almost 7 years now.

So Res, Pump (D5), GPU, Pump (DDC), Rad, Rad, CPU, Rad

Also my D5 isn't a Vario

 

[d1nky]

id even put it later in the loop, as flow will drop the more it passes through restrictive components!

and whatever is most efficient for your rig. not much point in having a bunch more hose just to fit an awkward pump.

imo

Actually it wouldn't be much more tubing were I'm thinking of mounting it

Still got that bench at home. Swore that I would not go back to a case again either. After using the open bench for a couple years I broke down and bought the 800D. I will post some pics when I get home...

If you need more pump power, why don't you just get a performance top for your D5? It'll increase the head pressure which is a pretty important part for a pump. Especially when you start adding things that are restrictive.

No, if you are going to run double pumps, run them one after another.

Honestly, id just get a reservoir pump top that acts as a reservoir and a performance top and call it a day. That should increase the pump performance enough, and be cheaper at the same time.

You really should get a different case too, and ditch the ridiculous amounts of 240 radiators, and get a 360/480 or whatever and throw a single 240 in there too.

You should look at getting a new CPU block though. That one looks like junk, and probably has a pretty restrictive design to it too.

 

[Durvelle27]

Not gonna happen with a res top combo and explain what you mean run after each other

[MxPhenom 216]

First, explain why a res top combo wouldn't happen?

 

[Durvelle27]

No space and its simpler to just add another pump

Running a reservoir top combo saves space, and its simpler, less tubing mess, etc.

.

even if the pumps aren't matching flow?

 

[Durvelle27]

Their bay res so no go

God seriously!?!?!? Ive never facepalmed so hard

Only a few people really need multiple pumps, and Durvelle is not one of them. If you are going to use dual pumps, they should be matching. Run them inline one after another, or do two separate loops like erocker was saying.

And Durvelle, what on earth are you saying that they are bay reservoir? Do you honestly not think they make tube reservoir top combos? Seeing as I just put one in my build, you are horribly mistaken.

You have a few options.

The EK X3
You can buy bigger tubes if you think you need a bigger one for more water but itll make a very small difference.

The Photon

There are many others, but those are the two that are widely regarded as the better ones, and the ones I would use. I run the EK X3 in my current rig for DDC pumps.

You would save some cash, and that money could go towards are case more tailored to water cooling, (or at least a better CPU block that doesn't have restriction off the charts), because running as many 240 radiators that you are is ridiculous.

 

[Durvelle27]

I don't see how that would save me some money when a DDC pump would only cost $35 and that comment is kinda redundant as many ppl run more rads than I do. I know a guy who runs 4x 480s so 3x 240s is not ridiculous.

Why would you run a D5 and a DDC pump in the same loop? Sounds a bit funky.

 

[Durvelle27]

I'm not but I thought about it
