Ok, I think the title says it all. Just recently re-did my entire cooling system and I have a couple questions. First, I went from a cheapy all in one unit, to a new setup as follows:
Storm CPU block
DD NV78 GPU block for the 7900GTX
DD MAG12 pump
BIX II Pro radiator w/120mm 86CFM Panaflo's
Dual 5.25" bay Resevoir http://www.crazypc.com/products/93317.html
1/2" Clearflex60
Ok, what I don't get, is my temps went up???? All the air is bleed, and yes, even from the radiator. Everything is running fine. Loop is from Pump>CPU>Rad>GPU>Res>Pump. So, is it my pump?? Not powerful enough??? The MAG 12 is only 143GPH, will I expect better temps from a Swiftech MCP655 317GPH pump, or am I better going with the Hydor L35II 450GPH pump?? Is maybe my resevoir too big?? Would a smaller one provide better performance?? This is really bugging me as I was using an inexpensive $130 all in one unit on the same loop with smaller tubing and I had about 5C+ cooler temps. Input would be awesome here. Thanks
