Watercooling Question.

[xtreemchaos]

ive never had none of that, have you tryed it? ive been using it 3 years on my intel rig without a prob and quite a few of my customers use it and have not reported any probs. google is not a benchmark bud.

 

[basco]

i think the problem lies in having all at once with different sensor polls and during that the motherboard tries to do its magic too

 

[xtreemchaos]

i only use the xfan control in the Ai softwear to be truthful ive never used it for overclocking or anything else, ive had a look on google and as said by others there is some probs but as i said ive never had any but that dont mean there isnt one .

 

[FireFox]

What about this?

 

[basco]

isnt the latest version from 2016 - i tried to look it up-hard to find real info
was a very good tool but could mess up things-because i think it goes deeper then other tools-dont ask me why-just try to collect things in my old head from some time ago
but if ya have a win backup worth a try - i think after install you should see if it works or not

and i have to say i never had probs with asus bios fan+pump settings.
i just put them in quiet and 3pin to dc and 4pin to pwm and thats it

 

[FireFox]

I see the 4.52 version.

 

[xtreemchaos]

ive use speedfan years ago with the old fx processer but for the life of me carnt remember if its good or bad, yea give it a try bud.

 

[basco]

if you install speedfan and ya only see 1 or 2 fans then dont bother with it.
if it detects nearly all of them then i think ya have a good chance for success

sorry if i overread this but what are you trying to control-or what is not controllable with onboard stuff?

 

[FireFox]

Get a 2pin sensor fitting that you can screw into one of the free ports on your reservoir.

Got it today

What should be the acceptable water/coolant temps idle and when gaming?

 

[thesmokingman]

What should be the acceptable water/coolant temps idle and when gaming?

Ideal is 10c delta.

 

[FireFox]

Could someone explain me with easy words what exactly Delta T is?

I know what you are thinking, a Watercooling builder that doesn't know what the Delta T is no shame.

Simply put: difference in temperature.

 

[FireFox]

difference in temperature.

Ambient temperatures, Water temperatures?

 

[nguyen]

At idle water temp should only be +1 to 3C above ambient
During gaming workload where both CPU and GPU are both stressed: water temp = Ambient + 10C (higher or lower depending on radiator space/CPU+GPU TDP)
GPU temperature = Watertemp + 6-10C (depending on how much power the GPU is currently using)

I would set the radiator fans to react to water temp readings, 30% fans speed at Ambient temp to 100% speed at ambient + 10C, that way the fans spin up and down in a much gentler manner.

At idle the water temp is equal or max 2c above ambient temp, during Gaming the water increases 1c/2c over the idle.

 

[xtreemchaos]

Thats good cooling 1-2c increase when gaming id be very happy with that bud.

 

[Arctucas]

Ambient temperatures, Water temperatures?

Yes.

Difference between different temperatures, or same temperature at different time.

 

[nguyen]

At idle the water temp is equal or max 2c above ambient temp, during Gaming the water increases 1c/2c over the idle.

It would take at least 30min for the water temp to reach equilibrium in a big loop like yours, just play game for extended period of time and check water temp.
Also you can use HWinfo plugin to monitor water temp via Afterburner OSD

That is exactly how i ran the test.
5 hours of COD Cold War and temps were what i posted in my previous post.

This temps are for 5.0GHz 1.32V LLC5 after 5 hours running Prime95 MinFFT112 - Max FFT112, FFT in place and AVX disabled.
Ambient temp was 28c and water 31c.



Right now ambient temp is 23c.

 

[WhiteNoise]

I always used boiling distilled water to clean my rads. I never added anything else to the water and it always cleaned up nicely.

I know what you are thinking, a Watercooling builder that doesn't know what the Delta T is no shame.

Put simply it's your water temp from baseline idle to max water temp. That range is called delta. Delta, or DT, can be applied to a cpu or gpu as well. Typical ideal is 10c delta for water temp, it's not a hard to hit target. A really great loop can achieve a 5c delta.

Regarding the prime run, what was the ambient before the prime test? What was the starting water temp? 31c for max water temp ain't bad if going from 25c. However a loop running at max in a room will raise the ambient temp so the ambient temp at the time of the measurement can be misleading. Ya need to know what ambient was at the beginning of the run.

At the beginning the Ambient temp was 26c and the starting water was 28c then after a while ambient temp increased to 28c and water increased to 31c till the end of the test.

Oh then your loop is doing excellent.

i wouldnt touch mayhems stuff with a barge pole, when i can make something better myself sorry if i offended anyone who uses it but to me all these addatives are just not needed and i see them as a weak grift .

Not everyone has an adequate degree in chemisty don't have to back far to remember Trumps Inject Lysol and Bleach advice and may folks burn theselves adding lye to soap. I can make my own bolts but it's hardly worth time time and effort. I can make Mayonaiise beer , wine and many other things ... but again not worth the T & E . For those w/o the understanding of chemistry and the training in handling corrosive materials, it's downright recless
