Hello,
I recently made two hard-tubing custom loops (listed in loop order) :
1)
Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi 400 V2
Bitspower Water Tank Hexagon 34
Swiftech MCP655 Pump
EK-FC970 GTX WF3
EK Velocity
Thermaltake Pacific TF1 (temp and flow sensor)
Bitspower in-Line Filter
Bitspower Leviathan XF 420
2) (same one without GPU)
Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi 400 V2
Bitspower Water Tank Hexagon 34
Swiftech MCP655 Pump
EK Velocity
Thermaltake Pacific TF1 (temp and flow sensor)
Bitspower in-Line Filter
Bitspower Leviathan XF 420
I'm questioning myself about the performance.
On idle, i have about 30/33°C and 110L/H (about 29 GPH) at 100% PWM (almost the same on both loops, the one with a GPU had +3/5°C and -5/10 L/H).
From what i read online, the flow looks very (too?) low?
- Is that due to some component in the loop?
- Is that due to a faulty pump? Faulty flow indicator? (On both loops, that would be unlucky..)
Yet i had no temperature issues so i kept going like this for two months.
Last days, I emptied my GPU loop to make a tubing slightly different.
Yesterday, i refilled my loop and the performance got worse.
I have a 50 L/H flow (about 13 GPH!!), temp went a bit higher too (at 100% PWM).
I can't even flush the bubbles in the large reservoir.
Tried a few thing already, nothing helped.
I didn't empty the loop yet, this is probably the next step if i don't find a solution.
The loop is two months old, i don't think this is a dirt issue. Anyway i bought some distilled water to perform a cleanup.
I rather ask experienced people about this, because if i manage to get back to the nominal state (29 GPH), it still looks too low.
Does anyone have an idea? A diagnostic to perform?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers.
