hows this.

[GuitarFreak1857]

hows this loop sound:

Res>Rad>pump>cpu>Res.

Rad: Dd Xtreme Ice
Pump: D5
CPU: TDX

[Trice]

I thought it should go Pump-Res-Rad-CPu-Pump.

[prosbloom225]

I thought it should go Pump-Res-Rad-CPu-Pump.

Never pump to res, you lose flow.

[Trice]

Ahh ok, I dont use a Res so I dont know hehe. Maxx told me Pump-Rad on mine so thats what Im using.

[AndrewZorn]

yeah res to pump and youre relying on gravity mostly

id go (and did go) res-pump-rad-cpu-res

[kamongear]

This is a quote from the stickies."So here is a general rule to follow. Pump>Radiator>CPU>GPU(if implemented)>NB(if implemented)>Reservoir. This is the most efficient way of setting up your system. But there are a few exceptions to this general rule. First, is that it is generally better to have the shortest amount of tubing with the least amount of bends in it. So that means if it takes a lot of tubing or some 90 degree bends to get the loop order that I just suggested, don’t do it. Figure out a way to have it where these bends and extra tubing are not need. But there is one rule of order that you must never break. That is to have the reservoir right before the pump. If you do not follow this rule it will guaranteed hurt the performance of the system and cause the pump to be starved for water."

well, im' going to have the res above the radiator and the pump on the left side of the case. the loop'll look strange.

[trance565]

that's how mine is set up, with pump on left and rad on front bottom, and res on top front, but i run rez pump rad cpu rez

pg 33 of the wc case gallery if u wanna check, dun look that bad

[YanBooth]

What about: rad>pump>CPU>GPU>fillport t fitting>back to rad? it would mean less tubing for me...

hmm,

[GuitarFreak1857]

i'm not getting a GPU block right now. later i will when i have more money.

[TMonte]

What about Res/T-->Pump-->CPU-->GPU-->Rad? I thought on the impingement blocks you want to go directly from the pump to the CPU block to get the highest pressure from the pump? Obviously the coolest water will come directly from the radiator, but I get the impression the pressure drop from the radiator would impact performance of an impingement block. As a matter of fact, DD's video instructions show a CSP-MAG outputting directly to a TDX...

I'm setting up a new loop (been out of WC for years) with a Storm, and planned to feed it directly from a D5. Should the Rad come first? (this is how I did it way back when).

Thanks,

[YanBooth]

I know, I was hijacking your thread ;)

Yan

[GuitarFreak1857]

so, RES>Pump>CPU>Rad

correct?

BTW, should all of this fit in my Tt tsunami?

[YanBooth]

well, as stated.... pump>Radiator>CPU>GPU>Reservoir/T-Line, that is optimal... don't listen to my other post... I was asking a question, not giving advice...

but as also stated before, less tubing=better... just pay attention and avoid the main no-no's

[GuitarFreak1857]

okay, and i hear the Dd tubing isnt that UV reactive. what would be another choice for better reactivity?

[Gimmpy224]

I got my loop going

pump>cpu>t line>rad>pump

:D


for UV reactive tubing I used tygon, check my avatar, the tubes going to the CPU dont have green water in them, the water I run is pink cause of damned zerex ( I wanted it blue lol ). And BTW the dye dosnt cover up the pink lol.

[GuitarFreak1857]

i didn't know the tygon tubing was reactive...

[YanBooth]

are you SURE Tygon is UV reactive?? its not mentioned on DD's Tygon page.

[GuitarFreak1857]

yeah i just read that also and it says


Crystal clear and flexible,
