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.
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...
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.
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...
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
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...
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 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...
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...
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?
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?
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...
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...
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.
