Where to put 2nd Radiator into current loop?

[MikeTimbers]

What i mean is that with horizontally mounting, the thread will be left/right instead of up/down.

I am adding another radiator because my CPU overclock is no longer stable after i added the GPU block. temps raised to 78c max and was 71c max before.

It is going in a P182, triple cutout on top, and a swiftec radbox in the back (so i can always take it off if does not work). The radiator only cost £15 (used).

I am by no means new to watercooling and it is a matter of trial and error. I am very happy to accept opinions but it does not take long to physically try it my self. I might well need another loop but it cost nothing to try. it is bleeding atm, will get result soon.

1) up/down left/right is irrelevant in a closed loop
2) your temps are too high for that setup, fix the setup. block is badly mounted, tubing is blocked, rad is clogged with dust, etc.
3) go try it then and report. you've asked for opinions, don't like the answers so go prove us wrong but don't move the blocks in any way otherwise I will not accept any data as valid.


see 2. I don't recall your cpu but I have a 120.1 cooling a Q6600 with way too many volts and it doesn't go over 62C. worse pump, worse block, worse rad = better temperatures? Don't think so.

1). ok, i accept that.
2). definatly seated properly, i took the GPU block out and tried and temps dropped to ~73 straight away. (btw i have a q6600, 1.54V @4.0Ghz)

screeny before i added GPU block: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c45/BornEvil_/q66004ghz.jpg

3). lol, go easy there. i know people are trying to help and i have no intenstion to embarrass myself or anyone by proving them wrong. Its just friendly therory discussion. Unfortunately i had to take all blocks apart to drain and refit different lengh tubes.


but one thing for sure is that water temp @Idle are 2c lower, it is now finished and priming atm
