Am currently looking for a chiller for my set-up to cool a 930 i7 and a 480GTX which chiller would be best suited! For a small oc is it worth getting the 1500!
Waterchiller Hailea Ultra Titan 500 (HC300=395Watt cooling capacity
Waterchiller Hailea Ultra Titan 1500 (HC500=790Watt cooling capacity
A couple of things:
1. You have suction head which is a big no-no. You will cavitate your impeller and ruin it. Your Hydor L30 intake needs to be level/lower than the output of the chiller if you have it between the chiller and the cpu block. If you relocate it to the input side of the chiller, then it needs to be below the water level of the reservoir. This will also give you better thermal performance because the chilled water goes directly to the cpu and doesn't get heated up by the pump.
2. The Hydor L30 is only rated for 75" of head. Most sites that sell chillers say you get at least 6' (72") of head loss going through a chiller. That leaves you with 3" and you can be sure with all of the vertical elevation, bends, water blocks, tees, etc. you have WAY more than 3" of head.
You have a closed loop system which skews the head loss issue ( you still have a LOT of friction loss), but I would at least put the Hydor down below the output of the Hailea and see if that makes a difference. If not then I would change it out for a couple DDC 3.25's in parr. on the input side of the Hailea.
Also, Hailea recommends 317g/h minimum flow rate for the 500. The Hydor L30 will barely do that at 0 head; you can bet you aren't getting minimum flow rate through it with that pump.
Just my .02

Tnx,
Got a EK supreme HF today and I'm gonna change the loop a bit.
So if i'm understand it right,
-ddc355+res. on the inside loop of the Hailea after the cpu-block below the reservoir of the chiller? or reservoir of the ddc-pump? if I should use the hydor pump I should place it below the reservoir of the chiller.
Sorry I wasn't very clear. Here is how I would do it:
chiller out>CPU>MB&GPU blocks>sealed and insulated reservoir>Hydor in (inlet below water level of reservoir)>chiller in
The less the elevational differences in the system, the higher the flow rate will be. If you can raise the hailea input/output to the same height as the rest of the system, that would be ideal. The chiller isn't really considered a reservoir because you don't want air in the titanium chamber. I would use a round. dedicated reservoir in a vertical position that can have pipe insulation put over it.

This is how it is now, but it's not ok.
The waterlevel in the res. is going up and down. If I put the pump off, the waterlevel in the res. is almost full.The water in tube from the outlet of the chiller is half emty .
sorry for the bad drawing (got no other software)
Using this pump+res
With it setup that way (pump on the input side of chiller), put the chiller back down on the floor (or at least get the output lower than the CPU. You are getting trapped air in the loop going to the cpu. You can put the chiller back down like in your original picture.
If that doesn't work,
I would get something like this:
http://www.svc.com/x2opdual.html - to replace your current res & pump (just make sure it is the highest point of your loop)
or this:
http://www.svc.com/br525dbb.html - and put your Hydor between it and the chiller inlet
or this:
http://www.svc.com/ih-res-275.html - with your Hydor (it would be easier to insulate)
The reservoir needs to be the highest part of the loop so the air can collect there.

Guys has anyone recharged the unit with R402 or 404??? I am thinking of doing this for better temps at load and also more time with teh compressor switched off i.e less noise.
