watercooling instalation help

GQmer Nomi · May 4, 2014

hi
i need ur help about my first watercooling
i have corsair 900d + asus rampage 4 watercooled + 780ti watercooled+ cpu watercooled + 2 radiator gtx 480 + pump swiftech 655 + 880 ml reservoir

i wanna know best wath i can do with the installation of tube exemple

pump to radiator to ......

sry for my eng

2 loops - one for cpu/mobo. Other for gpus

If you are using two radiators, split the flow (using a "Y") from your pump. I would run the tubing to your CPU, then to your motherboard, and then to the radiator. I would run tubing from the "Y" to the GPU(s) and then to the other radiator. Then collect the effluent from each radiator and route it back to the reservoir. And finally, you should connect the outlet of the reservoir to the inlet of your pump. You may need to adjust the flow to one section of the loop to maintain even flow throughout the system.

No - use 2 loops - 2 radiators/fans and two pumps and reservoirs. You can't run 2 in parallel off 1 pump - most of the flow will go to just one loop.

terry4536 · May 4, 2014

That is why you put a a restricter on one leg of the system. Otherwise you do need two pumps.

No way I can run it with just 1 pump ? Can u give me wath I need to do 2 loop in this website frozencpu.com I already have reservoir fixed with pump with pump adapter

If you try this make sure that you use a a high flow pump. There isn't much on the internet on this topic for the simple reason that there aren't that many people who use multiple radiators in one PC.

Here is a discussion of this topic at Overclock.net.

Here is a guide for water cooling loops.

i have this pump Swiftech MCP655 1500l/h

im trying to do one loop

pump - first radiator - motherboard - cpu - second radiator - gpu - reservoir

is that well be ok or not and is it my pump good for it or not

The idea is to put the radiator and its flow resistance behind your heat source. That way the water in the reservoir is cool. Then the first component after the pump (your CPU for example) receives the most cooling. I have diagrammed some options ranging in complexity.

1. Two loops (with separate pumps) using a common reservoir

RESERVOIR > PUMP > CPU > MOTHERBOARD> RADIATOR > BACK TO RESERVOIR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESERVOIR > PUMP > GPU > RADIATOR > BACK TO RESERVOIR

2. One Pump with components in series (without motherboard)

RESERVOIR > PUMP > CPU > GPU > RADIATOR > BACK TO RESERVOIR

3. One Pump with components in parallel & single radiator

______________________ > CPU > MOBO >
RESERVOIR > PUMP > Y_________________Y > RAD. >
______________________> GPU ________>

4. One Pump with components & radiator in parallel

_____________________ > CPU > MOBO > RADIATOR
RESERVOIR > PUMP > Y ________________________> Y >
_____________________ > GPU ________>RADIATOR

A restriction can be added to one leg to balance flow.

Your Swiftech MCP655 1500l/h pump will definitely work in the first two options. After that it will be by trial and error. I think it will work, but if it isn't sufficient then add another pump (option #1).

If you do have to use option #1, Your only added expense is the Y splitters.

terry4536 · May 5, 2014

Personally I like option #3 the best if it has sufficient cooling, without the second radiator.

Option #1 and #4 have the most cooling capability.

terry4536 :

can u plz give links in frozencpu if i want 2 pumps the first for cpu and motherboard and second pump for gpu
i already have one pump with reservoir adapter but i well change the reservoir it is too much big
i want 2 rerservoir can be good in my case 900d

terry4536 · May 5, 2014

As you asked, I have linked both pumps and reservoirs.

this res is good ?

terry4536 · May 5, 2014

Sure, if you have two unused 5.25" bays. It makes monitoring the reservoir easy. But they can be a bit cramped to work with.

terry4536 :

i well use it to make 2 loop

terry4536 · May 5, 2014

Good luck. Let me know how it turns out.
