Dude thats harsh, we accept only constructive critisism here. But this doesnt count as a project log and will be removed / moved as the mods see fit.
this is definately not a worklog but i saw the link before and he does have one kickass rad for the watercooling setup, but that first distributer thing you have must really kill the flowrate and same goes for the 2nd junction thing you have
Link is back up now, I took it down earlier. Yes, the manifolds will have a detrimental affect on the flow rate, this is why I opted to use such a large, powerful pump. The Eheim 1260 has twice the flow rate and maximum head of the Eheim 1250 or Hydor L30 and roughly four times that of the Eheim 1048 and Hydor L20, all of which are quite popular in water clooling set-ups.
Nice post-count...NOT Would it be possible to just copy the linky stuff over? Looks like it's in progress atm.
Moved to Modding in accordance with the 'Rules Specific to Project Logs - MUST READ BEFORE POSTING'. Note the 'before posting' part. No pics, or links to projects on other sites are expressly forbidden under bit-tech project logs rules. If you wish to post up your worklog and pics here, then PM an admin or mod when you have done so and we'll move it back, though only if you give us a cookie too... Oh and some others here, please keep the harsh comments to a minimum (i.e. none at all thanks), like Stickeh says, we prefer constructive criticism. *goes to douse flames*
Promising... I can see some problems with splitting the loop however. Flowrates will be uneven in each branch, as coolant will go for the path of least resistance. This means that not all three blocks may get an equal share of the flow... I'd say test run the setup without the manifold on the return loop; see how coolant comes out of each of the three branches. Does it look like a fairly even distribution of pressure/flow? To equalise, experiment with different tube lenghts. Nice work though, so far. Curious as to the size of the case this will fit in. Looks ideal for a server cube.
The short answer to that is: it won't, especially not in the cheap £30.00 midi tower I have. The pump, radiator and manifolds will be outside the case, only the small 10mm nylon tubing will go into the case to the water blocks. The radiator will eventually be in an enclosure, outside on the window sill, where not only will the air be cooler, but I won't hear the fans. The overall effect of the finished system will be a bit "Heath Robinson", but looks are not my primary concern.
haha thats the same idea I had Great minds think alike im gona probably do something like that for my next mod
Looks good.... but Why not make a watercooling box for underneath your case? And why is the tubing so long since wont that effect how well your system actually cools. Thought there was like a measuerment where the flow rate was dependant also on the length of the cables and the size of the rez and such to have the best performance? or Is the tubing that long to be the rez?
The tubing is long so that eventually I can place the radiator outside on the window sill in a weatherproof-ish housing, which I have yet to build. This was partly so that the radiator was in cooler air and partly so that I couldn't hear the fans. However, now that I've got it up and running I have found that the speed I run the fans makes no difference to the temperature and at their lowest speed setting the fans are virtually inaudible.
