Water cooling general question

aao_pwner · Nov 25, 2005

Hey,

I'm new to water cooling, I baught the Thermaltake Rocket and it only has a CPU attachment. I am getting 2 graphics cards on SLI and i wanna liquid cool both, Do the four ports comming from the back of the pump, pump cold water through all ports? Or... Can someone draw me a diagram. I just need to know where the water comes from, direction, and wether its hot or cold, and for my 2 graphics cards.

I have the TT rocket (thermaltake rocket)

ok, i have a diagram

There are four ports coming out of the pump? I've never seen one like that but regardless you should run the water through the rocket then to the blocks. That way you get the coolest water to the blocks.

Arguable point. The water temp seems to change little throughout the loop, using the configuration that requires the least amount of tubing would be a better suggestion, IMO.

You're gonna need a new pump. The TT one looks like it's only 32GPH.

im not going to OC, where can i get a new pump, and my cards are nVidia e-GeForce 6800GS...

are 2 on that pumping out cool water and 2 recieving? Because i was wondering why it had the PCI thing that had holes in it to run tubes through and why it had like 4 holes if there are only going to be 2 tubes comming out and the big fanless "radiator" had only like one input place for the used water.

As for pumps, how much are you willing to spend? the D5 ( http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=175&cat=23&page=1 ) would be pretty much the best pump you can get, but in a more medium range would be the mag 3 ( http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=DN1121 ). I'm not sure how each rates as far as noise tho.
