EK 2.2 Pump/Res

Antony101 · 29 Mar 2013 at 12:46

I purchased an EK 2.2 pump off the MM that came with a res attached and was wondering if it would be enough for a CPU/GPU loop. Just one of each.

I'm looking at 120(140)x240(280)x240 for radiators however and know the pump isn't really very powerful. I'm not after overclocking though just want my EVGA GTX 680 to stop making noise.

Pretty much silent as is without watercooling but the stock fan makes a small buzzing sound.

*Maybe

My case is a Define R4 and I've also got an XSPC 750 V4 bay/res/pump and it's terribly loud so need to send that back.

If your just after silence and don't fancy over-clocking then that pump should be fine for CPU+GPU as long as you don't go overkill in the rads.

Well I have the space for back 120/140, top 240, front 240/280 and bottom 120.

What would you recommend as the max I could do with said pump as I'd like it to run as cool as possible so I could maybe overclock the CPU a tad.

EDIT: Another quick question, I ran some water/vinegar through my pump to help clean it out as I noticed it recommended somewhere, not sure if it was a bad idea or not. How many times should I run Mayhems Ultra Pure H2O through to clean it all out before putting it into a loop?

I run that pump but with a smaller res on the CPU/GPU in my sig, no problems with overclocking.

Can I ask how you possibly stopped the pump from being pulled around your case by the tubing?

double sided tape should do it.

Old pic here, if you cut the tubing right it shouldn't move.
