Watercooling with 2 radiators

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

Dear watercooling gods,

What is the best setup to get maximum cooling with 2 radiators ?

I'm only interested in cooling the CPU (P4C3.0HT @ 3.61GHz ) currently
running on standard HSF (30-35C idle - 45-55C full load) Case temp runs
20-27C.

MoBo: ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe
Case: Chieftec full tower (lots of room)

pump: Eheim 1048
block: DangerDen RBX
rads: Thermochill HE120.2 and HE120.1
tank: Dual 5.1/4" Bay Res
hose: 1/2" ID

My thinking is:

pump=>HE120.1=>CPU=>HE120.2=>tank=>pump

The big rad should remove most of the heat put into the water by the CPU,
and the small rad should remove any heat put into the water by the pump.

Would it be worth doing ?

Thanks.

Use one and save the other for a spare? The pump is going to put a
negligble amount of heat into the water, and even if it did, just put the
radiator between the pump and the water block. No matter what you do,
you'll never get a water temperature below room ambient temperature, which
by your motherboard temperatures seems to be around 18 degrees C.

Nope - I have a single Thermochill 120.2 + Eheim 1250 cooling _two_
computers, both quite heavily overclocked & both cooling the Northbridge
too - even with the two 120mm fans on only 7V it has capacity to spare. I
have another Thermochill 120.2 cooling a machine with a 220W Peltier on the
CPU & even that only requires 7V to the fans if the ambient temperature is
reasonably cool. Methinks a 120.2 + a 120.1. is effectively a 120.3 & that
is major overkill for a single CPU - I'm also using a 120.3 + Eheim 1250 for
two machines with the fans at only 7V - I doubt you'd see any major change
in CPU temps if you added the 120.1.

pump=>HE120.2=>CPU=>tank=>pump - that route dumps the minimal heat from the
pump before the coolant goes to the CPU, I use it for all my watercooled
machines, detailed specs on my little website. (Click on

I have seen threads on difference setups for this on the major overclocking
sites, forget just which one tho. Try overclockers.com xtremesystems.com
procooling.com

To the original poster.
To get better air flow on your radiator, cut a hole in the back of your
case where the radiator is.
Yes, get rid of the fan grill built in to your case, mine had to small of
holes in it, and the water would just keep
getting warmer & warmer.
As for two Radiator's, the only thing I know it's good for is Video GPU
Water Blocks.
Water, Hm. I'm thinking about going back to fans on my P4 and getting a
SocketA Water Block for the one I have.
Did you ever try to keep an Athlon Xp Cool? Say, a 2200+ @ 2400+ 2.03 GHz
I cant keep it much under about 49c
Ah, no wait, I think that's wrong. 46.5c PCAlert4 shows 48c Sandra
burn-in shows 46.5. It's still a lot warmer then my
P4 @ Idle, even without water cooling.

If you want it cooler, you could try adding one of those cooling blocks. I
Cant remember what there called, they will chill your water for you.
They cost like 300$ Though.

The only other thing I may do when it comes to adding another Radiator, I
would also have to add another CPU Water block.
This would mean getting two water blocks, I don't think a socket 478 Water
block is going to fit on a Socket 604 Pin Xeon.
Rack Mount?
I'm thinking about going that way.
Server PSU on a regular P4, I'm thinking about doing this for better power
for Overclocking.
My PSU Fails Out on me @ about 100W CPU power, but this is when I go over
about 3.8 GHz or so.
CPU is a P4 2.6
Sorry to ramble on like that. I lost the subject for a moment.

An extra water block might not help you much, and I think others here had
made this point already.
And like I said, take a look at the back of your case, see how much room
your Radiator Fans have to vent.
If there's not much room there, you may just have to mod your case to give
the room needed.
I, like I think I may have said, just have a big hole there instead of the
built-in-fan grill.

You could use a fan to blow air through one radiator and keep the other
submerged in a bucket of water. Evaporation of the water from the bucket
might drop it a couple extra degrees.
