If the new block(s) put more flow restriction in the cooling loop, then there may not be enough flow to provide adequate cooling. See pHaestus's article on this site ( http://procooling.com/index.php?func=articles&disp=38) As you will see various pumps provide differing water flows with different restrictions. The same type of data is available for water blocks...how much restriction they provide at various flow rares. The same is true of radiators, except there are curves for both water and airflow. By looking at the data you can decide which pump/block(s)/radiator/fan(s) will work together successfully to give you the amount of cooling you require...or you can buy a "kit".
Distilled water is produced by evaporating water and then recondensing it. The inpurities are left behind, and extreemely pure water is the result. It is available in all supermarkets.
Concerning refilling: Where do you think water will be "used up" in a watercooling system? Where would it go? If there are no leaks, the water will last indefinately..though a clean and refill is advised at some time. There are varying opinions on how long..I would suggent anually would be a good starting point.
Oh, and the correct grammar is bled, not bleeded. |
Ok thanks mate, will check out the kit from Swiftech and check out pHaestus's article sometime soon. I appreciate the quick reply too
As for the grammar correction, was it really needed? If so, no problem, if not, no problem haha... Just wanted to know why you corrected my grammar
Anyway, will check both the kit and article soon and thanks again for the quick response
