Is 265 gph enough?

[nicspits]

Hello,

My to be water\peltier cooing setup is as follows

1 maxijet 1000 (265gph), 1/2" tubing to 3/8" at radiators using adaptors. 2 Dangerden cube radiators, maze 2-2 w/2 80watt peltiers, northbridge waterblock, good old tupperware reservior.

The order goes, pump, cpu, radiators, reservior.

Does anyone think I should go dual pumps and expand to

pump1 northbridge, gpu, radiator1, reservior2, cpu, radiator 2, reservior1?

All I need is a couple waterblocks and another pump thanks to my mom's fabulous tupperware coolection.

If I would do this I might go with 2 maxijet 1200s rated at 295gph. So any advice?

-295 gph on planned and dump 265 gph

-go with 2 295 on current with expandibility option

-leave as is unless expand

-leave as is, your ok with 265gph on cooling everything too.

Thanks all, really appreciate it.

Don't everyone answer at once :D

Two would be enough, or one via 1300. All that tubing would weaken the output.

Take a look at the sticky at the top of the page called "Flowrate". I think your answer would be in there somewhere.

well...i know that i have 1/2'' tubing, and a 120 gph pump, and I am fine....I run about 41c idle...and that is with almost no fan blowing on the radiator....

[DKYoda]

yes..

[nicspits]

That works, I'm gonna get a very large gph pump, say 500 or more, and call it good. No one said which order I should go in though, and please, since I always find a way to afford more spending, consider I'm doing northbridge, gpu, and CPU. THANKS!!!!:p

Well, two would be better than one, but who knows, maybe not much better, so maybe one would be enough. If you have the money, buy 2, try them out, then try only one, and if one does a decent job, sell the other pump.

Consider this, i have a 500 gph and i get 76.8 gph out of it in my setup (see signiture).

hope this helped

better setup, a heatercore-more cooling ccapasity than both of those put together, and a mj900 you wont get as much flow as you think you would, so just getting a bigger pump would only create more heat and a chance for leaks....(if it has high pressure)


thats what i think....

[h2sammo]

Cmon, is ~30W really gonna matter?
20W pump, 50W pump, those heater cores cool down much hotter loads in cars dont they?

i dont think the heat put out by the pump will really make a diff.

I switched from a 148 gph to my current 500 gph and i noticed a ~5C improvement. Of course many factors account for this..but i thought i would just add it in here.

[JFettig]

theres a big diff there, if you went from the 140 to a 250 or 300 you would of probably had the same results, because you can only pump soo much thru those blocks. both of my waterblocks take about 60-90gph max, so i now run them in parallel to use the entire flow, but that maze 2 can prob take like 100 or so, and that 140 pump is only gonna give you maximum 90gph....

my mj1200 gives me 120gph at 6feet of tubing, coiled same heit as the pump..

ook yes thats you but the guy who wants to know this info is not you :D
