pressure Question from a newb

woods · Nov 18, 2003

I am putting together my first w/cing rig and was wondering about the relative presure of my pump as compared to othrs on the market. I have am eheim 1250. Where does that lay in the range of pressure?

For those of you that will want to know this will be my setup for now: ehiem 1250=>rad=>rbx+226Wpeltier.
should I have another rad in there to help cool that pelt?should I move the location of the pump in the line?

I'd say you have a bigger issue brewing there. The RBX isn't particularly well suited to peltier cooling. See the "extreme cooling" forum for advice on peltier setups.

From looking at the pics of the RBX it seems thinner then a 226pelt. So this would mean alot of uncooled area which is a bad thing.

I am going to be using dual cold plates to spread the heat out. I am going for very low temps and I am hoping to hit at least 2.8Ghz. I know my board can handle the high fsb I will be using. ANY WAYS..... the real question is the flow rate and preasure that my pump will put out compared to others on the market. I want to make sure I made a good choice on the pump. I am thinking about w/cing the north bridge and maybe even the south bridge. (I know that some of you will argue the need for this but I may bstill do it for the he** of it

)

Well in my cooling rig the 1250 does it's job very well. Cooling the northbridge is ok but remember if your doing a single loop you will need to add a pelt to it as well. As for the south bridge why bother? Oh just remember what rad will you be using.

Bottom line: the RBX isn't good for cooling pelts.

you'd be better off getting some cheap square block made with a dremmel for it.

the RBX is designed to cool only in the center, and so that's all it cools.

What sandman001 said. The RBX is designed for a core-sized transfer area, and no amount of cold plates is going to make up for that; it will actually hurt.

well darn.

oh well, I guess I will use it to cool a Xenon h/s and submerge it in the res. I can use another one on the hot side to cool it. I guess I will let you guys know how it turns out.

2.8GHz with a Barton 2500+? Good luck.

That's what I was thinking. FSB isn't the problem there

Dual cold-plates are not recommended since thicker the base, less heat transfer.

For a pelt setup- I recommend Swifty MCW5002 or 5000 as these blocks focus on cooling the whole entire surface. With these one cold block will do.

I think that 2.8 is reasonable since I ican hit 2.25 stable and 2.4 with only a few issues with my 1800+ on AIR. Why do you think that it cant hit that speed?
