second setup
 

Hi friends, i am new in this excelent forum:D
I managed to fit an in-line wc inside of a very small case (cutted the second and third hdd bays to put the rad). So it is very fine to me.

So i am starting my second rig, but i dont have much money, so i connected a 3\4 to 1\2 adapter in the in let pump hole.
It is a 515 gph pump. my question is :
is tottaly submersible pump(here in brazil we dont have in-line pumps:( )
but via aquas manual says that it can only be run submersible, like maxijets
Should this pump survives ??

The Via is often used in-line, but it wasn't designed for it.

It seems that it will run hot, so if it is possible, maybe you can build a small res to make it submerged?

That block looks awfully familiar...

BTW: Welcome to ProCooling!

Thank you bigben2k
it is really bruno´s block. It performs very well, better than tc4.
but the pump is some big, so the reservoir will not fit in the case.
it is a 30 W with 2.3 m head...
i Dont think it will survive.
any other idea ?
Thanks and sorry my engish

what about heatsinks and fans blowing air ?
kind stupid.
very nice radial block, good luck;)

So what happened to your junction box ? Isn't it big enough? Can you make it bigger?


(BTW: you're not new anymore, you're one of the guys now!;) )

Unfortunately, heat does not travel very well through the plastic housing.

Man that was my first setup..it is a 10 liter reservoir:D , but the same pump. i know this pump is thermal insulated....
Things of the third world:confused:
i will think

But even when submerged, heat has to travel trough the plastic casing.

didnt work...:confused:
maybe i didnt sealed it properly, but no leaks and no flow....:confused:

You do understand that the loop must have water in it, because the pump will not prime itself?

Maybe you could hook up your T fitting to the pump inlet and outlet, to see if the pump works ok?

Thanks ben, i did it, but didnt work, i will take a pic to show you the impeller.

Thanks guys for all. Finally i managed to finish the pump connections. Doesnt look cool, cause here we dont have thin kind of adaptors. But is working great 515 GPH, 2,5 m head 30 W
Dropped temp by 4 C, but still bleeding.http://www.terra.com.br/fotos/foto.c...WwyZWj/hq0.jpg
