    Does pump speed matter?

    You dont have to, just that some people run a few tests at different pump speeds before they decide which one suits better, that is why i asked. i am running my pump at 4000Rpm - 1.8 L/min and i am very happy with the results.

    Have you ever tried running your pump at lower speeds, if yes what were the results?

    Is that 38.8c water Temp Idle, and what is your ambient temp?

    Does pump speed matter?

    Hello everyone. So, i have a temperature sensor which is plugged to one of the pump ports and also have a flow meter, i have noticed that the temps on both devices it doesn't match, when the temperature sensor reads let's say 30c water temp the flow meter reads lower temps something like...

    My pump at that speed is kinda noisy too, from 4000Rpm up to max is silent.

    Air-cooling principles - several questions from a novice builder

    Personally i prefer equal intake - exhaust or a little more intake, depending the Case i have/buy. I own a Corsair Obsidian 1000D and have x8 front intake x3 top exhaust and x2 rear exhaust.

    Does pump speed matter?

    Exactly what i have been doing lately. I have built lot of Watercooling system and never had issues but this time things didn't go as planned:banghead: We're not perfect and mistake happens. This build is just 5 months old. I have been thinking for future Watercooling system I'll use tubing with...

    Does pump speed matter?

    Was just a question, curiosity :D I am not willing to pay 130€ for another pump+res combo. I am done messing with this Build, only thing i will do is to re-apply the thermal paste, then i am done for good

    Does pump speed matter?

    Not at all. The only little gain as you mentioned slightly more coolant. At the end i leave it as it's. Have a question for you. Is it worth to add a second pump? Edit: you forgot to give me your opinion about this: I'd be curious to see how much the flow rate on the meter changes with...

    I just left it at max. I was aware of that. 2500rpm 3000Rpm 3500Rpm 4000Rpm 4800Rpm

    Does pump speed matter?

    Too much work just for a little extra gain Anyway, i have noticed that the water in the reservoir move way faster than before and so i have some doubts that maybe the Flow meter isn't giving the right numbers or maybe could be faulty.

    I already have one of those alphacool, it's installed as you mentioned in your post.

    Because i would like to know/monitor the water temp going into the rad

    Does pump speed matter?

    I will do as you said. I will remove all tubing from the distribution block, it will takes 1/2 weeks for that because i need to order a few things from ekwb. I need 8 of this I will use it to seal off/close the empty fittings in the distribution block. I want to ( link/merge/connect? ) the...

    Does pump speed matter?

    With all respect but i have always avoided FurMark.:D Btw, i ran Prime95 + Heaven Benchmark for 2 hours. ( Ambient temps was 27.3c ) Core 4 temps is high but i assume it is because today I've drained the Loop and after refilled it there are still air bubbles and there was/is a big air...

    Does pump speed matter?

    Should i stress both at the same time and then how do i know if it is handled? I was thinking to remove some tubing, maybe help increasing the flow rate?

    Does pump speed matter?

    Pump is running at max 4800Rpm, even it's a low L/m i still don't understand how it is possible that the Loop is cooling that well.

    Well, i am very disappointed:( not even close to the results i was hopping:cry:

    Does pump speed matter?

    My when not Playing runs at 700Rpm, those Corsair LL120 and LL140 are inaudible, i know that if i had better fans i could achieve better cooling results. What's your max fan speed when playing games?

    I expected lower water temp with those Rad you have + you have an A/C on :oops:

    Is 29.4c your water temp Idle?

    Does pump speed matter?

    Ok, the pump isn't noisy so i set it up at 4200Rpm, i've created 2 profiles in iCUE, one for Gaming and the second for when i am doing the basic things like browsing, watching movies, YouTube, etc. The Gaming profile is set to a max of 1500Rpm fan speed for the 8 front and 2 rear and 1300Rpm...

    Does pump speed matter?

    So, i had the pump at max speed ( 4800Rpm ) and the max water temp was 33c, now I've decrease the pump speed ( 3200Rpm ) and the max water temp is 31c, my question is: is it better 4800Rpm or 3200Rpm? The 6c i was talking about wasn't at idle but under load. i have 8 intake front and 3 exhaust...

    8x 120mm front fans and 3x 140mm top were at 1300Rpm, 2x rear 120mm at 1500Rpm Pump

    Does pump speed matter?

    Odd but increasing the pump speed increase the water temp too, the max water temp i have seen when playing games is 31c ( 3c above ambient temp ) but after I've increased the pump speed is hitting 33c that's 6c above ambient, interesting.

    I know this is an old thread but i want to ask to tangoseal if my current Custom Loop is built properly or if there is something i should change considering the cooling capacity it has.
