i need help on my water flow

[Jason4eveR]

---

ask lang ko sa mga naka WCS kung asa mas ok na water flow ani?

1. Res -> Pump -> Rad -> VGA -> NB -> CPU -> back to Res

2. Res -> Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> NB -> VGA -> back to Res

3. Res -> Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> VGA -> NB -> back to Res

i'm currenty using this water flow

Res -> Pump -> CPU -> NB -> VGA -> Rad -> back to Res (so far ok raman ang temps CPU: 27ºC-30ºC idle and VGA: 48ºC-50ºC idle unya CPU: 42º-46ºC full load and VGA: 60ºC-65ºC full load)

i'm using Everest diay to monitor my temps, ang ako motherboard temp kay 47ºC man unsa man ni nga sensor? NB? or sa motherboard jud? kay sa lain na temperature reader "system" man naka butang gud dili man motherboard.

I'd prefer #2 if hose management permits... pero ok man sad na imo loop gi gamit ron, preference ra man jud na br0. just remember that your coolant should hit your CPU when its the coolest (so kanang gkan ra ni agi sa rad), thats why some people like putting their rad right before their coolant hits the cpu block (its what I'm doing)... its also technically what youre doing except that after the rad your coolant goes to the res (and depende sa res imo gi gamit a reservoir should provide additional passive cooling sa imo coolant) before it goes to the pump then to the cpu. nanu ni uso ang pump > rad > cpu is because some extreme enthusiasts use high-pressure pumps (e.g. MCP 655) and pumps like those have a tendency to dump heat into the loop, so they opt put the rad after it so as to deal with the additional heat from the pump. (like I said, your coolant should hit your CPU when it is coolest) advantage sa res > pump > rad > cpu > etc. na loop is you can monitor coolant temps sa imo reservoir (thats if naa ka submersible temp. sensor) since at this point your coolant would have paseed through all the blocks and thus would be at its hottest point, it is relevant to monitor coolant temps (and not just device temps., in a lcs imho it's imperative to monitor coolant temps instead) since your loops capacity to cool would only be dependent on the amount of heat your coolant can further take since it is the medium by which heat is transferred from the blocks to the rad. (put it simply more coolant = more capacity to absorb and transfer heat, heat dissipation is up to the rad) hope that helps idol.

@P0w3rM0v3: very well explained bai thanks kaayo , mao sad na ako gihuna2x gabie ang Res -> Pump -> Rad -> CPU ~ instead of Res -> Pump -> CPU -> NB -> VGA -> Rad -> kay gikan jud sa Rad ang coolant paingon sa CPU so bugnaw jud ang coolant pero pareho rapud sa kani na loop Res -> Pump -> CPU -> NB -> VGA -> Rad ->. pero mas advantage jud gamay ang option 3 nako so kana nalang option 3 ako gamiton ako tan-awn kung moubos ba ang temp

btw, init man ang VGA unya muadto sa NB ang tubig ok raba na basin muinit pud ang NB na nuon how about the option 2?

[P0w3rM0v3]

lol yea... option 2 is wut I'm doing, my bad, I meant #2. lemme edit my post. unsa na pump imo gi gamit br0? mostly high-pressure pumps have the problem of dumping heat into the loop, although lesser pumps still do but to a negligible extent ra.

larkooler man gamit nako na WCS system hehehe

[P0w3rM0v3]

OK rana bro dili kaayo na high pressure so negligible ra ang heat sa pag pump

[Jason4eveR]

OK rana bro dili kaayo na high pressure so negligible ra ang heat sa pag pump

ok, thanks kaayo sa info and suggestion bai ako na buhaton ang option 2 later kapoi pa bungkag gud hehehe


how about kani bai unsa man jud ni na sensor? hehehe

i'm using Everest diay to monitor my temps, ang ako motherboard temp kay 47ºC man unsa man ni nga sensor? NB? or sa motherboard jud? kay sa lain na temperature reader "system" man naka butang gud dili man motherboard.

here's a good read regarding the age old debate on loop order --> Test Report: Loop Order, does it make a difference? - XtremeSystems Forums

aside from vapor hopefully the guys from mythbusters wil put this to the test

^^ thx for the link bro. The rad before the block does indeed provide slightly better temps. I've read somewhere (forgot where) that this is more dependent on the head pressure of the pump you are using. for regular pressure pumps this should be a non factor.

have not read this link yet. From what i understand, once water hits an equilibrium then you should'nt see much of a difference temp wise (< 1degc) between all the components you are cooling ( cpu, nb/sb, vc's). Whats important is that you have your res b4 the pump.
