It is easy to go under air cooling temps. Even 20 degree C under air temperatures is easy. I do not have anything against such cooling system if it can work under full load for hours. 70 to 80 degree GPU temps are fine for GPU if they do not keep crawling up over time. I have seen to many times...
This is true for Bitspower reservoirs but this one has middle part for illumination purposes only.
As he said he have had some rest air issues in system and removing fine bubbles from system takes time. Bleeding air from radiators mounted horizontally can be pain in the lower back. Also...
What he said.
Some makers of pure silver water blocks give warnings not to use nickel parts in same loop. Not as bad case of galvanic corrosion as what happens to alu+copper situation.
Even all nickel plated products are not that cool on their own when used with distilled water.
Already...
1. two 240 (except monster maybe) are not enough
2. external radiator option is great option IMO. Cold air advantage plus less space limitations.
3. In some cases two loops can be excellent but mostly way to costly and complicated especially while not big of a advantage in most of the loops.
4...
Bitspower has nice locking fittings for 12mm tubing. Primoschill as well. EK has Bitspower alike fittings (non locking two rubber ring once) for both 12 and 16mm. EK has 16mm tubing as well.
Well I would love to see Bitspower 16mm version of locking fittings. Would love to make all hard tubing...
One 360 can not cool CPU and two GPU. Period.
Difference between one or two GPU in system is huge. Cooling CPU is easy. Cooling CPU and one GPU is easy. Cooling two GPU and one CPU starts all new level.
Up to now I see that minimum radiator setup to cool it was 360 + 240 or + 2x 120. Or two...
Use to have FC on my 6970 CF. Now I have CSQ 7970 on my CF GHz edition cards. I have triple slot dual card serial bridge and it rocks. With that connection in between my two cards are one part. Way easier to mount and cards do not hang in the slots. GPU's are cool to. Actually way cooler then my...
Spyderco Delica IV ZDP-189. I got same. In same color. Got it from my Wife.
Monster 240. I got same.
D5 got it to.
EK water block for GPU I got 4!!???
Damn. So many same things :)
Good choices all way arround.
BTW your Monster 240 is doing great job. In my system it has [H]ard task. It has...
Like I have said order does not matter for the msot part. Just what I prefer.
BTW pump dumps 18-24 watts heat in water before hitting your water blocks :P
There for res> pump> rad >/coolest water/> blocks >res is better LOL :D
It simply does not matter. Difference is mostly as big as...
GPU is priority OFC but next item on a list is VRM actually. Mosfets and other semiconductors in VRM circut. That is a part right from the GPU and behind memory. Well if GPU is drawing like XX amount of Ampers VRM will have same amount of Ampers flowing true it as well. Hence VRM semiconductors...
Main reason why order of the parts in the loop does not make much difference when tested for extended periods. If reservoir is at higher point then pump and it directly gravity feed a pump other components can be in any order and once system reaches it's balance it will be at same temperature as...
You are welcome.
Your loop does not sound t that complicated and adding one more component should not be big issue for a D5.
Now disclaimer :)
I do not know what components are you using and I have no picture or video of your loop to be able to spot obvious errors so all I say I do say...
At this moment I do have MCP 655 and two DCC's. I do have XSPC Restop and double bay single and double pump reservoirs from XSPC and Alphacool plexi top. DCC stock top is just there to keep a impeller from falling out during the transsportation. If you want any performance out of it, you will...
