bigger pump same temps

davekusa · Jan 22, 2004

well I had a few extra hours and decided to play with my watercool/peltier setup.

MCW5000-PT
via aqua 1300

I swapped in a via aqua 3600 and my temps didn't change.
I also swapped around the placement of the radiator.

What do you think?

I think you've got a block that isn't very sensitive to the change in flow, and some damned good temps. Try un-swapping your radiator.

The MCW5000 is well documented to be rather insensitive to changes in flow rate above 4LPM, and the via 1300 would've already been giving you that. What small gain you got from the better flow rates would've been matched by the warmer water due to extra pump heat.

tanx. I guess I'm just trying to squeeze that last 10%.

hehe............the infamous "last 10%." It's funny how often we achieve it (based on the limits of our technology and equipment), and don't know it. After countless hours/days/months of trying, we conceed that we're already there, and then somebody changes the technology on us, and we start all over again.

Welcome to the treadmill.
