Greetings all,
I've completed the assembly of my rather unique and unorthodox cooling solution. Everything is hooked up and leak tested. But before I actually switch on the computer for temperature testing, I'd like to know if the numbers I'm seeing for flow rate and pump RPM are reasonable and expected, given my setup:
Equipment:
Setup:
*NOTE: sketch does not reflect actual tubing layout. I.e., the radiator cold return doesn't flair out the front of the rack
I've completed the assembly of my rather unique and unorthodox cooling solution. Everything is hooked up and leak tested. But before I actually switch on the computer for temperature testing, I'd like to know if the numbers I'm seeing for flow rate and pump RPM are reasonable and expected, given my setup:
- GPM: 0.9
- Pump RPM: 3960 each
- Temps: Pending 24 hour run time average <- if anyone is interested I can followup once after I have data.
Equipment:
- Pumps: 2 VPP655 pumps in series
- Pump Tops: Heatkiller D5-TOP
- Waterblocks:
- --CPU is Heatkiller IV Pro Copper
- --HBA is Alphacool HF 14 Universal Block - Copper Edition
- --SB is Alphacool HF 14 Smart Motion Universal Copper Edition
- Radiator: Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 480mm
- Piping: All pipping and fittings are 3/8ID, 1/2OD
- Additional Flow Restriction Source: 4 sets of Swiftech Quick-Disconnetors
- Total Tubing Length: 9 feet
Setup:
*NOTE: sketch does not reflect actual tubing layout. I.e., the radiator cold return doesn't flair out the front of the rack
