Hello everybody, and thanks for looking at my thread. I am wondering if my pump has enough power for my my entire loop, as it is a very big loop. I have 3 radiators, two titan x's and one cpu block. The radiators are one 480 mm rad, one 360mm rad and one 240mm rad. All of these are xt45. I am estimating the use of 10 feet of tubing too. Thanks for the help, and I appreciate your efforts of answering as soon as possible.

Here is the pump: xspc D5 Photon 270 Pump/Reservoir combo. (1200 LPH)

Thanks,
Ilyas

What temps are you getting that will help answer the question.............

You should be ok with that D5. Make sure its a vario with speed control.

I don't see any specs for this unit for "head" or "water column". 1200 lph is fast but we have no idea of how much pressure the pump can handle. My gut tells me you need more power to get through that many radiators and blocks.

It is a D5 Vario...

Includes D5 Vario pump
Maximum Flow: 1200 lph (12V)
Maximum Head Delivery: 3.7m (12V)

I also believe he is OK, specifically if it is run on 4+ (of 5) or full bore. I am curious of the temps he is getting as well...fan/airflow setup, etc.

[youngcolieo]

Ok i will as soon as its done, just need to make sure that there is enough pump power

 

[EarthDog]

I love it when people buy parts and THEN ask if it will be ok.......


Definitely create a build log thread in the appropriate section! We would love to see it!

 

[youngcolieo]

Lol, i should have asked more people, but I had asked people before i bought it so to be safer maybe you guys think I should remove the 240mm rad?

I think the D5 has 100ft of head you should be fine
