DzX since u using ek4.0 pump plus 2 monsta rad! How was temperature? Due to its low flow rate!

DzX is using 2x TFC XChanger 480 + Laing DDC3.2

ops sorry.. see wrongly......

Actually both are very good pump but some prefer DDC and some prefer D5.. i know both different just in terms of head pressure and flow rate....

my question is i believe OCer like DzX, Owikh84 are prefer 2 x Xchanger 480.. are using different pump will give different result? only pump different the rest all same...

theoretically, the higher the flow rate, the better result (cool).. since DDC is just high head pressure...

any R3E owner here know do the stock heatsink of R3E does cool the vtt pwm ? or do the EK FB waterblock for this mobo does cool the vtt pwm ?

u wont know the pwm temp until Asus makes a proper internal thermal sensor for it.
putting sensor cable sit underneath the heatsink doesn't really give an accurate reading.
btw, digital pwm can withstand up to 105C, volterra 120C. without proper sensor u cant ask the mobo to auto shut down just remember do not turn off OCP for QPI/RAM=VTT or else burn ur mobo in seconds on high VTT.
EK does tame the temp. I think u know wc better/

lol, wanna find out if the wb does cover the vtt pwm. CPU pwm definitely covered. but wat about pwm chips for vtt... ?

juz killed my sli micro w/o cooling on the vtt pwm, it just gone while LinX

hopefully still got hope for rma, while temp mayb play with R3E then sell the micro if I get to RMA the board...

there goes my budget and salary which planned for SSD and others...

yes EK FB wb cool down the vtt using thermal pad under the wb...
but im not suer how low the temp under the wb..i have read lot that
we cant get an accurate reading even using the thermal sensor cable
so i dont wan to waste my time to used it..

dont get confused with cpu/vtt pwm etc..
there are only pwm and mosfet on the board and fully covered by the EK block
pwm is the big black block while mosfet are tiny thing behind it.
the one which always get burnt is called CPU Vcore PWM IC
U can RMA as long as there's no physical damage on the IC, mosfets or cracks on chip die.
if me i'd go for other board like Classy. Dont wanna mess with R3E missing sensors.

is 120mm rad sufficient to cool the north bridge and south bride?? or maybe a 240mm is needed...

mobo is asus r2e

subrok
yes higher flow = more cool..
i have no prob running ddc3.2 + EK top's with 4 wb + 2 tfc 480 rad..
because the wb & rad are made to be run in high flow & low restricted,that y i choose those wb & rad..
at 1st im also scared that the pump cant handle those stuff & i thg to used the ddc3.25 ver..
but after long discuss with Vlad..he convince me to run it 1st and im quite impress for end result..
i can see the water that going in to the reservoir are strong, 3-4cm jumping into the res.
eemm now planing to test run my sli in parallel

ya, i refer to mosfer IC, my sli micro vtt pwm mosfet chip burnt... running LinX on 1.55v vtt straight GG in minutes...

now hunting for new mobo... seems wanna try R3E, any other user/owner's comment ? how is the EK waterblock performing... ? how u guys monitor PWM temp then if no sensor for PWM temp. ?

the perfomance is quite good bro..
my nb/sb temp in stock heat sink reach 60-65c
see the pic nb/sb temp with EK-FB all in single loop.. ambient 29-30c KL 9:00pm

If i using ek 4.0 pump wit d aquagrafx xt 360 radiator and aquagrafx 5850 block,is it ok?

I'd say it is ok
Depend on how long is your tubing and block restriction etc

means u only use a pump d-335?

Yes bro..
laing DDC3.2 also a.k.a D-335

using WB on the mobo i think would definitely eliminate heat problem with the mosfet area

monsh, any idea to check the temp on the mosfet area..?

oic...
if triple DDC3.2 good ma?
u live segambut?

no need triple bro..double with dual top
is enough already if its a big loop..
but single ddc3.25 + top is enough for
Vlad system..have u see his wc setup?..

yes im at segambut..
