My new water build...

2 pumps?

It's a D5 and it seems to flow quite well on just medium power. I wouldn't have thought 2 pumps would make a difference.
 
Lovely looking rig, got any pics of it with the cables tidied up? I would have to heatsrink the ends of those PCI-E power cables, I don't like the yellow. :D

Glad to see that a triple and double rad is enough to cool that much hardware. :D You don't even need push pull fans?
 
Cables?................more like jungle at the back.....but i don't look there lol.

No don't need the push pull, but i'm gonna do it anyway.

Thanks.
 
I'm just starting to read up on water cooling so forgive me if is is a stupid question but would it improve temps to have a rad in the path between the heat sources for example out of e top gfx card into the 360 and out to the CPU or does it not matter?

Apparently it doesn't really matter, maybe a degrees difference.
 
I've just realised I have the input and output on the cup block the wrong way round. Ek say it must be input closest to centre of block.

Would it be ok just to reverse the flow around the loop?


Thanks for the comments too guy's.
 
Decided i would change the input and output of the bay res/pump around, doesn't seem much different in temps really, just happy knowing the cpu block has the correct flow now.

What next.......?
 
Very nice build Rich. Very tidy job :) How did you find the cosmos case to work with? I ummmed and arrred before pulling the trigger on the switch.

Thanks. I found it quite easy, there seems to be plenty of options for cable routing everywhere, so would work for most folk. Bottom rad rails are only good if you want your rad in a certain position, otherwise find your own way to mount it.

Pleny of room around the back of the motherboard too to keep cables tidy (although i havent tidied mine yet lol ). Lots of room for fans. And generally lots of room. Although it is huge. :)

Okay thanks for the info! :)

No probs. :)
 
you don't need two pumps for a loop like that at all.

your temperatures on a single loop will be similar to very high end air cooling but capabilities at higher end overclocks and noise levels will be vastly different.

I only have one pump.....?

Who said i have two? :confused:
 
Are you sure the 240mm rad is an XSPC RX240? With the 2 rads sat next to each other they look to be the same height. Plus, to me, the fin spacing looks too tight.

Still nice looking build.

I'm assuming that board uses a bridging chip to get that many PCI-e lanes. Have you have any issues with it?
