Hi,
I got an Hydor L30. I built a test loop with just tubing and the pump to test how dificult it would be to get rid of bubbles using a T line for bleeding/filling.
Well after 2-3 hours working, I touched the pump and it was warm like hell. Also the tube was warm so I decided to check the water temp and it was 41ºC.
It's my first watercooling experience so I don't know if that's normal. Of course that it's just pump+tubing with NO radiator but I didn't expect the pump to warm the water that much. When I build the whole loop I will have the rad. getting the water cooler but also a CPU and a GPU warming it. So should I expect the water to be cooler than those 41ºC once the loop is complete and computer on?
Thx
