Hello everyone first post in the forum I am completely new to water cooling would anyone advise me on a few things.
What should the flow rate be though my loop? Iv tried to look online for answers and can't seem to find any solid information. I am running 3 ek 360 rads 60 mm bottom. 40mm top. 30mm side. With the ek lian li o11 xl distro with a d5 pump. Iv got an ek water block on gpu and a ek mono block on cpu. My gpu is 3090 and cpu is 5950x. Think the Monoblock is the most restrictive part of the build my tubing is 12 mm acrylic if I have my d5 pump running at 70% speed the flow is 110 but if turn it down to 50% the flow is 60 I don't really understand what speed the pump should run at. Gaming today for around 5 hours with noctua fans running at 1000rpm and pump at 70% what highest temperature on cpu was 73c and gpu was 56c the water temperature went upto 45c is this an ok temp for the liquid to be its been a warm day and my pc has been on all day. Sorry if I sound silly asking such simple questions.Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
