Is my one that I ordered enough for a cpu, nb and gpu loop?
One per loop is perfect!
Yes, lets not hogg this :banana::banana::banana::banana: up. There should be a one per costumer limit until the supply gets better.Quote:

Yeah, I guess you're right. Didn't even think about that.Quote:

Even if I had shipped them as I was typing the last post in this thread they still wouldn't be there, takes a couple days ;)Quote:

those cant be iandh's...Quote:

unless iandh you change the design?
Sounds good--I'm just surprised that people haven't started throwing things at me yet... ;)Quote:

What a brilliant observation! No actually they aren't iandh's at all. Can't fool you now can I? :up:Quote:

Here I thought you were smarter than that! I was wrong I guess eh?

actually flattening them out and inserting inside tubing does increase surface area and lower resistance...Quote:

iandh made these in response to my post on SILVER!!! so i was there when he was still planning these out. :up:
could i add these in feser one coolants?
I thought spheroidal shapes have the largest SA:V ratio?
blah... i was thinking this too, until i accounted for part of the tubing would en essesnce wrap the sphere.Quote:

But if were putting it inside a tube, the tube will compress around the spring, and cover up part of the silver...
Having it thinned out and flat would compensate....
Im not sure if im making any sense here...
Unless you're blocking off most/a lot of the flow you don't need to worry about shape or surface area. The overwhelming factor is time here...Quote:

Do these have to go in the flow path or can they be placed in the filling line of a t-line?
If I have one 250 mL reservoir (EK 250) supplying 3 blocks, just putting this one little piece of silver will prevent microbial growth? And I can just drop it in the reservoir without worrying about it going through the tubing? And even if I have like 10 feet of tubing, I only need 1 of these $9 pieces, thus allowing me to use clear tubing instead of solid tubing (block light, prevent growth)? Sorry for questions, this seems so convenient...
In the path of flow is best.Quote:

I decided I would need the silver in time for my coming rebuild so I went looking. I was looking for silver wire. I go to ebay and find plenty o silver. A very shiny (Bitspower shiny!) perfectly molded (like a little bar of soap) chunk, stamped for authenticity and weight caught my eye. A whole Troy oz. of .999 silver could be mine for $9.29! Wow, $9.29! If I can only snipe this baby 2 secs. before bidding ends. I'd just confirmed my bid when it struck me, "maybe $9.29 for 1 Troy oz. of .999 silver isn't going to land me on the cover of Fortune magazine as "the Guru of silver trading"". That's what I get for my total ignorance of the silver market. I didn't overpay but, I just thought silver was worth a little more than it is. I think I caught "gold fever". Thankfully it was only for silver ($10 worth).
Anyway, I had actually wanted silver "wire" because I do not have anywhere to place a hunk of silver in my loop. Here, I give you, the point of my story- I found some good silver wire. Google "Atlasnova", they have 10 and 12 gauge .9999 wire. I only suggest this if you need it now. Otherwise, I would hang on for Petra's to re-up (support supportive businesses), it's much prettier all flat like that. I may hammer mine flat I don't know. I'm really not sure where I'm going to put it. My mcres only has a hole as big as the hole my flow will ultimately exit through. I'm not sure how to bend my wire so it won't block outward flow and still fit into the res through the same size hole. I like the placement in the tubing but, I have spent too much time in XS to not consider the sin of elective added restriction. Oh well, Einstein wouldn't have given up, I shall solve this problem... and maybe others too.
