yes i have 2 of those flow indy type there good to show the movement of water one coming out me pump which is a 3 way i have my drain valve on because its the lowest point and a two way as me waters going back to the res.

I will install the flow meter and drain port where shown in the picture below + I'll make some changes to the tubing

Flow meter is kind of meh, not really needed when you have a water temp delta of 5c. And realistically, you're already at max of your pump given you have 3 HWL rads which are the most restrictive of all rads so anything you add will reduce your pump's head pressure.

Hi,
Yeah adding a spinning wheel is not needed lol
Get a real flow meter if you really want one otherwise just go by reservoir activity.

I'd take that center tube out of your reservoir if you make the top the inlet there's no need for it anymore.

What's with all the fittings on the side behind the pump/ reservoir?
They seem a tad extraneous to me.

Ah, you mean the Distro plate, i did some extra tubing runs, instead a tube going from GPU block to CPU block i did GPU block to distro plate then back to CPU block then CPU block top rad, top rad distro plate and then to Rad.

Like this

thesmokingman · Apr 11, 2021

You know, the distro plate is essentially your reservoir so one or the other is redundant.

FireFox · Apr 11, 2021

The Distro plate i am talking about it's not one like this:

It's a homemade one

35-50LPH or 30%to60% of your pump speed at a guess bud.

Any guess in Rpm?

FireFox · Apr 16, 2021

@xtreemchaos need your help.

Which Flow diameter conversion should i use and it says to choose left or right but at the same time it says only used in water inlet, kinda confused :laugh:

xtreemchaos · Apr 16, 2021

i havnt a clue bud, but i sorta get the jist that in the water inlet and use the one which is nearest you pipe inner size but thats just a guess.

Owning 2 of them for me was obvious that you should know how install it :oops:

xtreemchaos · Apr 16, 2021

no ive 3 flowmeters just the visual ones bud and there not bits power lol

I don't know if i am kinda paranoid or just bored after i finished building the Custom Loop.
I know that the new Intel's Gen CPUs runs hot and i was aware of it but i am still concerned about my CPU's temps which are 50c/55c when playing COD Cold War, another thing is that the temps when playing drops to 45c/47c and then there's those spikes to 50c/55c, is it normal?

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

thats a good normal bud, nothing wrong with those temps when your clocking 5ghz.

FireFox · Apr 22, 2021

I wanted to add that when playing games like FIFA,Tekken, Need For Speed and some others temps won't go above 42c.

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

those games are not heavy on the cpu but COD is a little more taxing. in VR i can get upto 65c most of the time its my gpu which stops in the low 50s.

My GPU's temperatures are great, max i have seen is 37c

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

i think there prob the best temps ive ever seen on a gaming rig bud. are you reading off your cpu and gpu sensors or the temp of your water ?.

FireFox · Apr 22, 2021

xtreemchaos said:

Didn't get your question. :oops:

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

where are you reading your temps from the sensor on your gpu and cpu or your water temp like the sensor from you flow meter thats if it has one because my temp is a lot lower on the water about the same as your reading.

From GPU and CPU sensor, the flow meter which is actually a Flow indicator it's just to measure the water flow rate. water temp is read by a water sensor installed in one port of the Reservoir.

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

you have really good temps id be well happy bud.

FireFox · Apr 22, 2021

Then it's what i suspected, i am paranoid and bored. Everytime i finished a Build/Custom Loop then i don't have anything else to do and get bored :oops:

xtreemchaos · Apr 22, 2021

i wouldnt say paranoid just involved with what you riggs doing which in my view is normal . get into VR you will never be bored again
