D-Tek Fuzion Nozzle Kit Pressure Drop Test Results

[Evil-Vincent]

Okay thanks a lot. Just one more question: What nozzle do you recommend me to use on my s939 3800x2? I would assume the smallest in a cpu only loop.

I don't know for sure, I think alot of it depends on the pump used. There will also be a point for everyone where more cooling at the nozzle (smaller nozzles) does less improvement than the loss of flow rate over the entire base. It may also have something to do with pressure drop increasing heat dump. So going to the smallest nozzle is likely not going to be the best choice.

I've heard nikhsub1 and cathar both mention around the 4.4mm nozzle working best, but that was with an iwaki pump. I'm going to start my own thermal testing pretty soon here on a couple of them, but I'm guessing the 5.5mm-6.3 might be a good one for more mainstream pumps. But that's just a guess.

I think our boys at D-Tek know alot about these nozzles, so they probably purposefully made this range available to meet the wide range of needs out there.

If you had absolutly no idea, I'd probably start in the middle. 5.5mm nozzle..but that's just a complete guess on my part.
