    Thermochill PA120.2 fittings?

    Yes you can use plug n' cool fittings, just not AquaComputers as they don't supply them in the correct size. See http://www.over-clock.co.uk/acatalog/barbs.html#a641 Or you can buy a 3/8" BSP Male to 1/4" BSP Female collar adapter (Mcmaster stocks them, as does NCIX), and THEN you can use...

    water temp vs. cpu temp

    Seeing as your coolant temps are good... your issue is likely the c/w rate of the CPU block. This determines how much the temperature of the item you're cooling rises per watt of heat that the block is asked to shift. EG: You have a processor kicking 120w of heat. You have a waterblock with a...

    Swiftech MCR320 position

    Orientation of radiator has no impact on flow or performance. There is no right or wrong way up etc. 3/8" hose over a D5's ports will take some doing... good luck! (It IS doable, but is very frustrating)

    Best CFM Fans for Thermochills

    All depends on heatload. There is a sweetspot for a specific heatload at a specific liquid flowrate. There is no "general" sweet spot. As for what fans have been tested on the PA Series core... Individual fan cfm vs noise vs rpm vs voltage graphs: Acoustifan AFDP-12025 [Dustproof]...

    Will an extra pump help at all?

    Have a look at ThermoChill graphs here: http://www.thermochill.com/PATesting/ Note on Heat Dissipated vs FlowRate graphs for PA120.1 > PA120.3, the difference in wattage dissipated doubling from 1gpm to 2gpm, also note how the curve is levelling out towards the upper range. The benefit of...

    peltier cooling the water instead of the cpu

    Savrow put this into practice in a retail system 2 years ago, and many others have done so also. Think the most indepth stuff on the subject can be found here: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?s=&threadid=141703 &...

    Thermochill PA120.3 vs Swiftech MCR320

    Except the BI Extreme series require much higher CFMs to get the same cooling performance, and thus more noise. The fin density of the core means it creates more resistance to airflow.

    Bleeding problems

    Pop graphics card out, turn it over. S'just air in the block's cavity that's coming out bit by bit.

    Long Loop w/out a Radiator or Reservoir?

    Have a look at the Medusa project for passive TEC cooling - the amount of tubing shown there is needed to equate to the heat dissipation of a 120x3 radiator with silent fans (so around 280 to 300w Heat dissipation) - http://www.over-clock.com/ivb/index.php?showtopic=4135

    Accuracy of temp sensors

    Evident deltas...? With about 500w of heatload... Liq dT is radiator Delta, Inlet to outlet, measured with calibrated (to each other) probes. HE120.3 with Panaflo M1A (fans at 7.04v by multimeter) as follows: Avg Air <: 23.6 Avg Air >: 26.6 Avg Air Dt: 03.0 Avg Liq <: 33.9 Avg Liq >: 33.5 Avg...

    two pass vs one pass radiators

    The topic was actually covered at it's best on this very forum between TN and Cathar back in 2005... see http://www.over-clock.com/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=21 (summary) & http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=935607 (source) That search button up top is really handy...

    Fans on Radiator ..pull noise

    Cathar's doing separate testing of fans on rads... the fan testing vapor did isn't directly applicable to performance on a radiator as doesn't account for pressure imposed by radiator cores. That's why the Yates excel over some more powerful fans...

    Metal Reservoirs

    Recommend having a wander to overclockers.com.au, sign up for their forums, then go on a hunt for 2 threads by Cathar entitled "Experiments in Tec Water Chilling Pt1" and Pt2 (I think). All the experimentation on running such a system has been done... you might be surprised at the results....
