Would i see any drastic improvment cooling a cpu with an AIO vs a custom loop? (240mm rads)
Would i see any drastic improvment cooling a cpu with an AIO vs a custom loop? (240mm rads)
my case at max i think takes 240mm i would have to double check.If you're going custom loop, why restrict yourself to a 240mm? A good chunk of the advantage to a custom loop is the ability to cram the biggest possible radiator in every available hole and run your fans at inaudible levels - and STILL outperform an AIO in terms of cooling.
thanksCooling- you could. But the purpose behind building a custom loop should probably be explored. No consumer CPU, barring an overclocked Threadripper, would make use of more cooling capacity than a decent 240mm AIO would provide. Noise might be another factor, both in terms of fans (280mm might be quieter for the same cooling) and pumps.
im asking if i were to do a custom loop to cool a cpu would i see any benefits over the AIO equivalent. i am new to watercooling to it would be soft tubing and res/pump combo. again to start it would just be cpu coolingConfused, are you asking if an AIO would be better than a custom loop? That would kind of defeat some of the purpose of going the custom route... You can definitely get better cooling using a custom loop, but it would largely depend on how you make the loop and what parts you are using.
if its that s340 it will take a 280 at the front. if its the ncase 240 is the max.my case at max i think takes 240mm i would have to double check.
yea s340 elite.if its that s340 it will take a 280 at the front. if its the ncase 240 is the max.
Not just average temp, but often peak temp as well.In the end once the loop saturates temp wise and reaches equilibrium, you are going to have a constant temp. A custom loop would yield a lower average temp.

That sounds like a golden 9900k, what stress test? What voltage? How long was it run for? What AIO?
XTU is a good software overclocking tool but not great stress tester my 9900k tests at about 15c lower with XTU than intel burn test, AIDA64 Extreme is a much better for testing real world usage.Intel XTU CPU and Memory, quick 5-minute sanity check, MCE on in ASRock BIOS (Z370 board), Corsair H115i with one default fan running, auto voltage (I'd have to check). I have a Z390 board to put in there and I'll test it further, but it already looks to be a much better sample than the 8700K it's replacing. That one is going into the Linux fileserver for KVM duties.

Agreed.Not just average temp, but often peak temp as well.
Depending on the AIO model/pump custom loop pumps are closer or above the optimal 1GPM flow rate.
Although the AIOs have gotten alot better in recent years, I couldn't find any specifics other than the H100i which was estimated to be about 0.5 GPM.
