Dual Loop versus Single, the facts

[NaeKuh]

I've asked you several times to explain precisely what you mean with "holding capacity of water" because it does look like you are mixing things up.

Martin + Skinnee + Vapor + others i remember long ago HASHED this forumla out.


it translated to 300W per 1 gallon per minute flow in pure distilled h2o.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_coefficient

From the above equation, the heat transfer coefficient is the proportional coefficient between the heat flux that is aheat flow per unit area, q/lund, and the thermodynamic driving force for the flow of heat (i.e., the temperature difference, ΔT).


if im lost somewhere please teach me stephan.. your one of the guys i know who knows LC and thermo.

But watercooling in its basics is..

Heat is being released in blocks... water picks up... carries.. and then dumps.
That means when water picks up heat, it picks up energy and MUST increase in temp.
That number of Energy is in a relationship between flow and medium that is being used.. ie.. distilled water.
Water is non compressible, so were not going have crazy values which compressed gasses like LN2 would have as there is no evap involved.

Saying water WONT go up 1 degree after touching a X amount of heat is breaking the laws of physics.

So how much of a gradient is acceptable? or better yet do you even have a gradient?
If your a new user.. typically your gradiant wont be larger then 1C.

If you have 3 580gtx under load, with a full board block with a cpu block and a ram block, and you watercool your aquero controlller along with an ARC-1680ix... well... as i said, you need to pay for somethings.

For the only reason that the motherboard full cover block is so restrictive, it kills the flow even with dual pumps. So i have dual pumps on the CPU+GPU loop, and a single pump on the motherboard loop.

yeah i wish people understood this..
the bridge on the nb -> Sb only allows so much without making it bulky.

Which is why the barb locations on most is made so you could connect a gpu to them without much trouble.
