Dual CPU cooling advice

opteron_bitch · 06-29-2004, 04:08 PM

I am building a dual opteron rig and and need to water cool it. However, all the dual cpu water cooled rigs I have seen so far do not cool the gpu too. What is the best way to cool dual cpus and a gpu, whould this be and internal or external water cooling system (either is fine, whichever has better performance)? What pumps resivoirs and other parts of the water cooling system would recommend to cool the cpus and gpu as much as possible? Thanks for any imput or suggestions.

For a lot of dual proc systems, many of them watercooled, should give you some ideas.

what pumps (or external water coolers) would you recommend me getting to be able to have 2 loops of water (like one loop for the processors and a separate one for video cooling). Also what pump would you say is the best.

probobly the same for single CPU cooling...
do searches on pumps... the questions has been asked ... and asked before...

I have a xeon setup and I also, H2O cools the gpu. I daisy chained my blocks and I use an L30 pump. I hope the pic helps.

This was reported to be in waterblock design forum. Still an interesting watercooling topic, but not waterblock design.

sorry, you can move the thread to the correct forum if you want...

how well does it cool 5150? what kind of temps do you get?

Ambient 23C you gotta love Southern California

CPU1 29.5
CPU2 30.7
GPU 31

I run my rig a stock speeds but you can see the trend in temperature rise. The differences are well within the error range on the digital doc; however, this trend is very consistent so I think it is valid.

by the way it is Lothar

Nice rig Lothar, Dual Xeon's, PC-DL right?

What speeds you getting?

Thanks! Yep PC-DL, it's a great rig for parametric modeling

I'm just running it a stock speeds right now. I am water-cooling it for low noise level and rock solid stability.
