Hi,
I just building a water cooling setup and stuck on what pump i need, i have read up things but don't exactly have the time to check out everything available. So i was wondering what pump would be the best for a: Swiftech Storm G4 CPU Waterblock DangerDen Maze4 GPU Waterblock DangerDen Maze4 Chipset Waterblock Black ICE pro III radiator 1/2" Tubing And also what water Additives should i use. Is that Fluid XP+ any good? :shrug: Thanks for your time |

Would this do MCP655™ 12 VDC Pump , or would i need a more powerful one, i think it's capable of doing just the G4 but i ain't sure about the the Chipset and GPU with the 3x120mm Fan Radiator

That pump should do fine with all those blocks. The G4 is good block at all flow rates low and high.

You Sure?
![]() 1: Pump> Res> Splits too CPU/GPU/Chipset > Rad>Pump 2: Pump> Res>CPU>GPU>Chipset>Rad>Pump Also would it be more restrictive in the first diagram? And Fluid XP any good? or is there something else thats better? |

Run everything in series like #2. Fluid Xp should be fine. Just don't use clearflex tubing. http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/sho...ighlight=fluid

So, for your bits, the majority of flow will be through the GPU block as its easier, and CPU block will get less flow and perform worse than if both were in series. However, if you have a dual CPU rig and have a G4 on both, then parallel is better. Same can't be said for less restrictive blocks (eg: LRR White Water) where serial is still better overall. Quote:

Putting the rad between the res and the pump won't be awful, but it is un-ideal. Keep the tubing between res and pump as nice (not restrictive) as you can.

well it's done
![]() ![]() ![]() Pump>CPU>GPU>Rad>Res> Just as you guys suggested and all works fine for now and i'm impressed with my temps (I dunno if there any good compared to yours) water temp is around 27.7 idle with 1 fan running on my rad and 25 CPU temp (Usin Motherboard Monitor) while playing games (Joint Operations) it was between 29-27 water temp and 27-25 cpu temp, which seems strange to me cause there disn't seem much of a difference with the 2 other fans running, maybe it just needed "wearing" in or something. But thanks for all your help, Laters btw i can keep you posted if you want more info ![]() |

Sounds like your temp monitoring hardware is all screwed up. CPU temps should be around 10C higher than water temp. CPU temps cannot be lower then the coolant temp.
