Could this be one of my problems???

Because the inside of my case is really cramped I have both radz outside the case, and I have one run of tubing going from almost the bottom of the case, all the up to the top to the second rad. The water is moving quickly still, but I wonder if the long runs could be causing that??

Im using probably 5 to 6 feet of 1/2 tube in the case, and I have been thinking thats my problem lately.

I used to have a MCW60 on the card, and it was great temps and it added almost no heat to the loop, but this full cover block is BAD, and with 2 its been horrible!

When I pull this card tonight Im gonna try and re-route as much tube as possible to shorten it up some. Having both radiators doesnt bother me much, as it can only help the cooling. At some point it might do nothing, but it cant hurt right?

When I buy my coolant today, what kind should I go with, I have always used Fluid-XP, anyone have any better recomendations?

Actually, having both rads can hamper cooling performance if they hurt flow too much.

And I also avoid full coverage blocks. Not only does it trap heat, like MK said, but it dumps the heat from your card's vregs and ram into the loop. Sure, you might be able to get the ram a little further, but I'll take a higher gpu clock over a higher ram clock any day. It's strictly universal blocks for me.

As for fluid, I use straight distilled water, with no additives. Still the best performing fluid out there.

The goal is to get the full covers out of there, and I think Im just gonna stick with Air cooling for my next video cards. Water cooled video cards are just a huge pain to do anything else in my computer.

Could the length of hose be a hinderance?

Water works good too with this

Fesser is just water and anti freeze. If you want that just buy the anti freeze yourself and save a bunch of $

PS: ASB, do you have a pict of the inside of ur comp?

let me get a few...... Im at work now but the girl is home, hopefully I can get her to take some for me

longer hose would only hender the cooling of the parts only if the pump can't handle it. Meaning, the faster the pump can move water the better off you are. Thats the way i look at it... But i am no expert..

yah thats kinda how i was feeling, and the pump is handling the length just fine, with the petra top i got 8 foot of head with 1/2 ID tubing. It prob could have gone longer than 8 feet but thats all the tubing I had.

intel igent · Jul 24, 2008

1.0gpm - 1.5gpm is pretty much all you need, anything over will only improve temp's if blox are designed to favour pressure (impingement/restriction style)

more RAD will overcome low flow more often than not

NeoCrisis · Aug 4, 2008

Hey guys so i finally finished my water cooling set up.
I started out with cooling my just my CPU with a dual 120mm radiator. Then I decided to throw my sli 8800gt into the loop.
They way I have my case setup (Silverstone TJ07) I wanna keep one hdd cage at the bottom so I can't fit a triple 120mm radiator. Would adding another single 120mm to existing dual 120mm into the loop be just as efficient as using just one triple radiator?
Also any suggestions to better my cooling would be great

Thanks

and FYI im using D5 pump, DD mc-tdx, maze5 gpu blocks

my computer is 100% done will post pics when i get home

intel igent · Aug 4, 2008

gabe's been buisy......

look's nice on paper, any word on review tests?

Cold Storm · Aug 4, 2008

Yeah, it does look pretty nice... I would love to see a review myself.

Wile E · Aug 5, 2008

It would be nice if they went to G1/4 fittings as well.

sneekypeet · Aug 5, 2008

Well I got my new pump a while ago and that lead to me wanting new tubing. So here is the new loop with the pump moved indoors.

The pump looks a bit croocked because it was before I made the plate for it. Had a chunk of the case steel left over from when I cut the fan hole for the PSU!

cdawall · Aug 5, 2008

Cold Storm · Aug 5, 2008

It looks good Cada, and the same for you Sneeky! :toast:

That makes me want to throw up pictures for my loop.. lol..

intel igent · Aug 5, 2008

so what are you waitin' for?

cdawall · Aug 5, 2008

i love my loop with my phenom @2.84ghz 1.4v its still not breaking 37C under 100% load for 30min

intel igent said:

I second this sentiment. lol.

intel igent · Aug 5, 2008

since i redid my loop i only turn the RAD fan's on while i'm gaming :rockout:

she idle's @ 36c even in this heat (no A/C for me) and still running same clock's/Volt's

calvary got killed before doin' my voltmod :cry:

Cold Storm · Aug 6, 2008

That's pretty nice Intel. :toast:

on the work!

Pictures you say... Lmao

Before drilling

After drilling

The Rad up top

Everything else

I don't have the plastic tie with the hose anymore. I did that so I could make sure it wouldn't move so much when I was traveling back home with it. Plus the video card is my back up.. :roll:

But, there you have it. I have more... But, know no one wants to see it! :laugh:

Oh, forgot one thing... wires aren't like that anymore. Worked on that while I tried out the striker II board... Wile E... Board is dead, and I might have to rma my GTX now... lol

DaMulta · Aug 9, 2008

Got my machine up and running....but had a leak on the board while it was on....now it doesn't turn on....fuck

Maybe after it drys out it will be back up and running........

Cold Storm · Aug 10, 2008

where did the leak happen? I would just un hook everything and take the battery out and do a rest... But, i do hope after the board drys it works... What are you using for coolent?
