How should I set up my cooling rig?

the creature · 06-28-2001, 04:54 AM

I'm plannig on cooling my CPY, GPU and the chipset.

How should I set it up? Should I run everything in parallel, and use a 1/2"(?) tubing for the pump and rad, and use a multiple Y splitter (1 1/2"(?) in 3 3/8" out) and a splitter in the end suche the watter returns innto the 1/2"(?) tubing??

This way I gets all off the blocks to be as close too the ambient/water temp.

Since I don't know how much watter runs trough each off the blocks, I don't know if I need to use 1/2"(?) tubing for the pump, or if I need only too use 3/8". The watter from the pump must/should transfear so muche watter that all off the blocks gets enoughe watter too full-fill it's needs.

Or should I set it up else?
I'm open for suggstion/advice.

Definitely run the hose from Pump/Resevoir > Rad > CPU > GPU or Chipset > Resevoir/Pump. If you split the hoses then the flow will be to slow where it's needed (CPU) and will return to speed where it's better to move slow (Radiator). Exception is if you run multiple pumps per split then larger tubing threw rad, or dual rads per split.

"Pump/Resevoir > Rad > CPU > GPU or Chipset > Resevoir/Pump"

If I run it like you said, then the Chipset is going to be very HOT. Isen't it beter to cool down those parts that dosen't give out that muche heat first and take the rest afterwards?

Woulden't this be beter?
pump > rad > Chipset > GPU/CPU > CPU/GPU > pump??

I'm planing on runing the setup as a inline typer without a res.

The water temp shouldnt be that hot.
Probably way under normal operating temps.

If you ran a peltier I'd put the GPU/Chipset before the CPU, but I don't think the water temps will be high enough without (and the low wattage from chipset/GPU should cool to very near water temp)
