    PUSH or PULL for single 120mm radiator exhaust fan?

    This could go on and on...In reality push is better for use of high speed fans and pull is better for low speed fans in a single fan setup. I use low speed fans 1200 to 1500rpm in a pull setup on a feser rad. I don't like the noise of the high speed fans and the Feser rad is built for low...

    PUSH or PULL for single 120mm radiator exhaust fan?

    I'm not debating that. I'm just saying that to add the heat from the motors isn't good....not that it would be much...but look to the industry and you will not find systems pushing air through radiators. Of course with such a small system it probably wouldn't mater and I have seen Fans...

    PUSH or PULL for single 120mm radiator exhaust fan?

    Simple engeneering says not to add the heat from the fan to the radiator...pulling is generally better.

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    I added the anti-kink coils when I disassembled the loop to inspect for buildup of calcuim deposits in the heat transfer blocks. Having run the system for a year I expected to find something...What I found was basically nothing. What a nice surprise! Still, I had used Feser Fluid with a UV Blue...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    :DWell, its been....what, a year or so since I first came here looking to learn how to build my first water loop. I finished it quite awhile back but have been so busy with work that I am just now showing you the finished product. I didn't go with the single or dual 295s when I found out that...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    Yes this is what I'm told...not having experiance of my own to go on, I'll have to defer to those who have aready been there, such as you. In a side note: Amazon.com sux...I ordered the 295 from them at the beginning of this month, because Newegg didn't have any in stock. I've been checking...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    I agree, I'll try running the CPU and 1st 295 on a 120.3 and see what my temps are. Then if too high I'll buy a 120.4 for that use and put the 120.3 next in the loop before the 2nd 295. I would rather stick to just one pump but once again I'll need to see what my flow rate is. I'm told and I...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    Sorry, Fellas The Picture showed an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition...Didn't mean to mislead. The CPU is a 125 watt and I don't really know what temps to expect either. Especially when I clock it from its stock 3.2 ghz to 4.0 ghz that I want to run at permanently

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    The GIGABYTE GA-MA790FX-UD5P is the motherboard I'm going with so far. I haven't seen a AM3 board that suits my PCIe slot layout other than the Gigabyte. According to most of the reviews I read 1-295 should suffice for now and if I'm correct Nvidia did not allow BFG to OC their 295. So there...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    Great! I love forums when it comes to doing something you have never done before. I spent several days learning through the forums before designing this loop and it seems I've done well. I expected the Feser 360 would be close for this loop and started to go with the 480 but I need a...

    Water Cooling newb..Will This Work?

    This is my first attempt at water cooling and I hope to get a stable 4ghz from the 955 and I don't yet know what clock I will flash to the 295 if any. My drain tee will be lower than both the Radiator and the Pump. I'm using tees with main flow traveling straight through and hope this won't...
