i need help choosing another pump for my setup. basicly when it reaches its max cooling temp the coolant kinda trickles out but still has flow. now i want add some gpu block to the loop and that would pretty much kill the rest of the flow,i am currently using a pondmaster 700 and a d4 in series. should i get another pondmaster and get rid of the d4 or is something better than that?

cpu blocks are a DD rbx and a swiftek 6002 block

also when the temp are hot this setup gushes water like no tomorrow so i know its not restricted. also gonna switch my blocks to fuzions that should help temps.

this is with low load so i think i have room for improvement

i think i solved my own problem ill just run the video cards in their own loop with another pump down to the cooler

thank ppl :up:

I just got my new pump in yesterday - HOLY S@#! ... Let's just say I tried it out on the bath tub with the output wide open and (no exaggeration/no joke) it was knocking tiles off the wall. The water was slamming the ceiling. (Whoops! Sorry hunney ). It's a 110V pond pump for $60 from Harbor Freight rated at 1585 GPH ... Wow.. Just wow. I have no idea how I am going to keep everything connected and have enough flow not to burn out the motor but I'm gonna try! :D

Here's the pump... It doesn't look like much but it's heavy as he!! and pretty friggin' big (Wait till you see the reservoir I'm using with this thing - submerged ofcourse)....

By the way, I currently have this pump and it's a beast but it's manageable and it works very very well. It's rated (modestly) at 400GPH (7 GPM). For reference, my new pump is 4x that at 28 GPM. Again... HOLY S#$% how the hell am I gonna make this work... Stay tuned... I'm laughing at myself with this one - I think I bit off more than I can chew this time. Sorry for the thread jackage...

(400GPH):

i went into sears yesterday to check out some a/c i saw a 8000btu unit so i pulled apart the front cover to see how the evap was routed everyone was looking at me like i was crazy:rofl: but the good news is that it will be good as a chiller for $199 so ill pick it up next week

Dude! $199 is expensive and 8000btu is way too much. Get one of those $99 jobs from walmart. 5000btu is plenty.

electrons flow slower in reluctance/coil field (D5)

Can you show the source of your info? Every tiny bit of info I have ever learnt is lower the temps to yeild better magenets.

MRIs are based off this, cat scanners are based on this, Partical acceleraters are based on this. Hotter a magenet gets the weaker it gets that I know for a fact and you can test this your self!

i already have a 5300 btu unit but want faster pull down temps since im running a 5gal tank so it takes 3 hour to gets max temp

oops your right, what i meant to is, with viscosity of fluid getting thicker on more load on motor (almost stalling) an heating mag field witch poor proformance, less RPM

Ah k that makes perfect sense, indeed fluid viscosity is the bane of chillers, good ol alcohols help to solve the issue!
