Danger Den CSP-MAG pump
- Thread starter Gh()st
- Start date
First off, that second BIP is unnecessary as it likely reduces overall flow enough to counteract any potential gain. Secondly, the MP-05 would bring the CSP-MAG to it's knees--the poor thing maxes out at 7.5' of head pressure, after all. The MP-05Pro is just about as much of a flow killer as the Storm, if not more so...
To obtain decent flow, you'd be better off with an AquaXtreme 50z, D5/MCP655, or a modded DDC+. If space is really an issue, then two CSP-MAG pumps in series would likely do alright...

My X1800 XT runs skin searing hot. (Stupid Accelero2 doesn't do as good a job at cooling as I'd like.) I want to keep it as cool as possible. I figure for an extra $25, I'd like to cool the water coming out of the CPU before it hit's the GPU by putting a BIP in between the two.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's just I can pick up a MAG for $35, while the DDC is $75. Then I'd either have to do the inlet mod myself, or spend $30 for the plexi top. I've got plenty of space in my Tt Armor.
Maybe a CPU block that's less restricitve?
So.... You'd be willing to sacrifice overall loop flow and, thus, performance simply to lower the water temperature by a fraction of a degree before it enters your GPU block? GPUs are not nearly as temperature bound as CPUs are so, even if that extra rad did lower your GPU temps by a degree or two, it would make no difference in the function and/or overclockability of your video card. The reduced overall flow, however, would cause both your CPU and GPU block not to perform as well. Due to water's high thermal capacity, the coolant temperature in your loop really doesn't change much from block to block. Save yourself the extra $30 and put it toward a 50z or a D5/MCP655--both can be had for about $75.Gh()st said:My X1800 XT runs skin searing hot.

Yeah, you're right. Now that I think about it. The loop basically thermally balances itself throughout, so the extra rad doesn't really add anything beneficial.
I'm looking for the quietest pump I can get, so I'll just pick up a DDC rev2 at DD.
Thanks!
DD sells the DDC+ (18w) which, while being more powerful, isn't as quiet as the standard DDC (~8-9w) that is sold by Swiftech as the MCP350.Gh()st said:I'm looking for the quietest pump I can get, so I'll just pick up a DDC rev2 at DD.
