Then compensate. (parallel to flow) with distance between centers parallel to flow of 0.914 cm, i.e. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the watercooling community, Press J to jump to the feed. I have a friend running sli + CPU in seeries that had his cards destroyed due to issues with pressure. The two-pipe system consists of – you’ve guessed correctly – two separate pipes: one that feeds hot water to the radiators and one that conveys used water back to the boiler. Parallel cooling channels are drilled straight through from a supply manifold to a collection manifold. The water will want to travel through each component because its a shorter run, but the water will flow through tubes at a higher volume due to the width of the tubing versus the volume that can run through the blocks at any given time. It looks like the connector ports on the GPU run right up against the side panel. A less well-known fact however, is that the internal water volume will decrease over time, even in systems with no obvious leaks. Right now I think it would all look much better inside something else. The tubing has a rubber-like texture. Although the strainer cycle is the most efficient water economizer option, it greatly increases the risk of fouling in the chilled-water system and cooling coils with the same type of contamination that is common in open-cooling-tower systems. Due to the flow characteristics of the parallel design, the flow rate along each of the cooling channels may be different, depending on the flow resistance of each individual cooling channel. Yes, I used custom length power cables (Cablemod brand) and tucked as much as I could right under the PSU with zip ties. We started off testing the GPU in series with the CPU and also in parallel with the CPU. Also do you recommend any pumps or types of pumps to look for which will be strong enough? The control of the flow through the system was by means ... Spray cooling of … If it's not, one or two of the components will suffer. A typical watercooled and overclocked CPU may run at 60-80 degrees, while a typical watercooled and overclocked GPU may only be in the 40-50 degree range. Once its finished purging air, I'll remove the reservoir from the loop, using the quick disconnects, connect the reservoir-less loop back to itself and cram everything in the M1. Could you just add it in the middle of the left CPU/GPU tube? People generally do it because it looks awesome. If there is different resistances between the blocks (wich it likely is) more water will flow through the easier path. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Here's the image: http://i.imgur.com/Qmabbyf.jpg. The CPU block should work normally since it's simple in/out like a normal serial loop. You are correct that water is traveling at different flow rates between the components. Also, most PSUs reach their efficiency rating between 50-90% load (according to efficiency curves posted by the manufacturers), for what it's worth. Think of it like 3 steps of a ladder, where water can go from one legs of the ladder to the other over any of the 3 steps. GPUs do not throttle and its much quieter than my previous air GPUs. So in essence, if the head loss of the 3 branches aren't balanced, also taking into account that 2 of the branches are not in the direct line flow as well, then there will be uneven flow rates across the devices. Custom Loop Water Cooling PC: In general, there are three methods to cool your PC: air, AIO (all-in-one water cooling), and custom loop water cooling. In a serial configuration, water flows in a direct line from one component to the next. I only see acetal or acrylic offered. A Closed Loop Fluid Cooler would be ideal for this situation. The connectors on the GPU blocks are wide open between top and bottom. We can derive a formula that calculates the factor in Series versus Parallel Heat Transfer since A and … The addition of fill to the traditional closed circuit cooling tower design reduces evaporation in the coil section, reducing the potential for scaling and fouling. It's just as quiet as the EK SPC-60, but actually fits under the gpu. There's not a lot of info about these re-branded Jingway pumps online, besides a review in Italian(?)
