Rio 180 power

SniggZ · 06-03-2001, 03:21 PM

I just ordered a Rio 180 pump from Aquastealth.com and I was wondering if you all think it is powerfull enough to get good CPU Temps? Is it powerful enough?

It will be pushing water through a Maze2 and a AquaCoil (big rad.)

my friend has the exact set-up and i put it together for him, but im wondering if the pump is powerful enough

in his system i was getting BIG air pockets when the water came out of the water block, i would pinch the tubing and the bubbles would flow into the reso. but would form again a little later. how do i fix that? is that because the pump is too weak?

That rio 180 might die on you eventually. You should get a different one for backup. For the bubble problem, maybe the tube isn't connected tightly to the output of the pump, try some kinda sealent there.
