Fittings & Elbow Impacts to CPU Temperature (TEST RESULTS)

Amazing Martin! Now we have solid evidence on the effectsnof 90 degree barbs! It's interesting to know that it adds as much as 8"!!! that's the size of some... Er... Bananas...!!!

This is a very good test

Great work as always Martin.

I've got a pair of these and will plan on using them for the pump elbow effects tests..

I'm looking forward to seeing this as well to really see how much elbows effect pump flow in relation to inlet/outlet.

Tubing length equivalence is a very good idea to mention too - so if we gain 5' of tubing by using a 90 elbow, it's a win for example, or gain 3' and it's a loss.

Yeah, curious, I'd like to know that as well.

It's been a while since I tested tubing and I didn't have as nice of equipment as I do now, but using a mixture of old vs new tes results...one 90 degree elbow is roughly equal to 4ft of 1/2" ID tubing.

I've got 20ft on order, I could run a quick PD test to confirm or correct that.

I suspect adding an elbow to reduce tubing length restriction rarely pencils out in terms of performance. Most people do it for the aesthetics side. Like wire managment...tubing management is another challenge and piece of the puzzle many people go after in builds.

:O

No epic MOAE?

[Martinm210]

Ahh...the good ole MOABs...

I don't even have any in my drawer...all gone...

[McBacker]

Good job. Thank you.
