suggestions for new d-tek fusion user

[Fitseries3]

i just got my d-tek fusion and i am wondering what you guys reccomend i do to optimize it for my setup. i have read countless threads on the fusion and have heard mixed feelings on several topics such as bowing, nozels, o rings, etc. let me know what you suggest i should do to get the MOST out of my fusion.

i've got a q6600 running ~4ghz on a 780i board. using 2 laing D5 vario's, TC PA120.2 and TC PA120.3 along with 3 danger den 8800gtx blocks.

thanks in advance.

The best thing you could do is split that quad out on it's own away from those oven broiling 88's..:D

Seems like the quad nozzle is doing really well on the quads. I'd run that with a washer only and start with that. Bowing is a bit unknown on quad effects.

But I think your biggest issue is heat dissipation. Fortunately the 8800s are designed to run at higher temps, so putting them in their own loop even if they run a little hotter will give your quad a bit of relief.

That's what 200 watts for the quad plus 170 watts for each 8800 plus two pumps, that's like 750 watts of heat dump...:eek:

so put the quad on the pa120.2 and 3 gtx's on the pa120.3? will the 120.3 cool 3 gtx's?

fitseries3, a 120.3 can cool 3 GTX but not at the optimal temps, which doesn't really matter since at stock, it's designed to run hot. I guess you will have about 15 degrees water-ambient delta but it's fine. A PA120.3 can dissipate up to 600-700w with high CFM fans like the San Ace but you can get by with medium-speed Yates (D12SM-12).

The PA120.2 is more than sufficient for your quad-core ;)
