[Project] :::Flow::: (SNiiPE's V2110) - Resurrected

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Those panel look so good *-*

What screw size did you use to mount the EK Supreme ?

I drilled out the Thermalright metal AM2/AM3 backplate and tapped it to M4 threads

that fan controller looks nice

[Jah]

Now we are talking
Verry nice progress, and exelent photos as always.

[charles_h]

Fantastic job on those parts Ian.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this all come together - keep up the good work!

[voigts]

Looking VERY nice. Keep it coming...

[paul_]

Excellent progress, and finally a barrage of pictures! It looks great - I can't wait to see what lies ahead.

I love how Sniipe put a piece of aluminum to cover up the Red connector on those HD4890 Fantastic idea

Did you use standoffs between the hold-down plate and the mobo? If not, how did you maintain an even pressure (or tension) at each corner?

Looking good by the way!

to achieve pressure correctly I used the digital calipers to measure the thread length sticking out on the other side of the plate all are equal to within .05mm

Those Enzotech Unicorn heatsinks look great! Do they actually work decent in a passive setup or are they just eye candy?

[zanzabar]

sniipe has some updates on TR

Looking awesome, now what did you use to cut that panel?

he had it routed.

and remember that sniipe is on a week long ban so he cant respond on this forum

[dreamaxx]

why is he banned lol?

I'll answer on behalf of Sniipe.

Parallel flow. It does work despite of how you might think it will work.

Honda showed that you can achieve identical temps with a parallel set up. People who have configured their gpu blocks the way Sniipe has have found similar temps.

[twwen2]

I'll expand on that.
It works because, like electricity, water flows through the path of least resistance. When you configure two (identical) GPU blocks in parallel, the restriction (or pressure drop) through both paths is the same. Thus, the water will flow through both at the same rate.

It's kinda like voltage drops. Electricity and water share many concepts.

[barretp]

ok the sli tubing is tripping me out. It seems like, depending on if the water is coming in from the top or bottem, that most of the water would go right through the first GPU, because there is just a big hole for it. Then it would pass to the second GPU, be stopped by a plug, then travel through the second GPU, then out.

I would think the path with least resistance would be bypassing the first GPU going staight to the second.

[DragoonXX]

I'm pretty sure water can't push through a solid barrier to just jump from one inlet to another....I'm willing to be wrong, but I'll let the more experienced ones explain why he set it up the way it is

[barretp]

What do you mean by this?

[BlueAqua]

Sniipe has his gpu's setup in a parallel configuration. Water travels into both blocks simultaneously and goes out of both blocks simultaneously. There are some potential drawbacks but I'm sure a seasoned water cooler like Sniipe knows how to overcome them. Parallel gpu loops have been done for a long time now and work just fine, in fact my next setup will be parallel.
