    80w Pelt in same waterloop as cpu

    I making the folowing setup.
    This is my loop:
    Pump -> Dual bix rad -> cpu -> Single bix rad -> mcw50-T peltblok on my gf4 ti4600 -> pump.
    Would this be ok for my temps?
    I'm only running my cpu on water right now with the dual rad and my temps are in the 30°c.. I used to have a normal gpu waterblock in the same loop and my temps where +- the same as now. So now i'm getting an extra rad to cool the water down for the pelt blok and to keep the cpu temps low.
    Will the setup be good for my temps?
    Thx in advance.

    Should be absolutely fine... Pelt performance will be dependant on the flowrate so you wanna have a good high-flow pump...

    It's not going to be enough imo.
    Remember you've got yourself two flow suckrs rads there. My advice? 1200l/h min mate!
    Stock is never good enough!

    I did some more research and found a gay who's running the same kind of h2o setup (without pelt) and was only using an ehein 600l/h pump and his temps were great!
    I'll thing the 800l/h pump will do the job..

    I got the setup running.
    But the gf4 is only at 22°c. (got the temps from the backside of the gpu)
    I've ran the pelt without the gf4 and it was doing -0°c is a sec.
    Firts i got +-30°c but then i saw the mcw50-t whasn't making good contact. Now i've remounted it and its about 22°c..
    My cpu @2425mhz is running at 35°c.
    I tought a pelt would run @ about +-5°c ..
    What am i doing wrong?

    Like the others have suggested flowrates are the key... You're using 1/2"ID tubing right? I'd bet your water temps are too high as well...

    My flow rate is good.
    I think the problem is that i need an 120mmfan on the single radiator.. I don't have one yet
    And yes.. The water temps are prolly to high. But i wan't to keep my system portable so no ice stuff is possible..
