Hi,
Thanks for the concern. Actually, i have two 240mm xspc radiators. One in the front and another one is on the top of the case.

user posted image

I just used one loop setup using xspc d5 pump. The loop goes like this;

Pump/res--cpu--vrm--rad2--gpu--rad1

Simple loop?previously, i want to do like this;

Pump/res--cpu--gpu--vrm--rad2--rad1

But, i think the best temperature setup is the option1 loop.
Maybe,if i already bored with the option1 loop setup, will try option2.

Regarding complicated loop line,i want to polish my acrylic bending skills..hhahaa..its just for fun..later,if bored..change different loop line...

Thanks
*
shortest distance on each tube.

well that is a pretty good setup loop config actually.

btw whats ure gc temps like?? post some heaven screenshot ( F12, TGA converter to PNG)?? on max oc??

I used to know Ezzy and Jibek whom could help to do nikel plating... but Jibek is not working with APES anymore..don't know bout bro Ezzy..can ask Zzorro about Ezzy's whare abouts..and if i could remember correctly, in previous thread (quite long ago la..huhu) also have discussed this matter..but i forgot the solution and who gave it.. can ask them senior member in our w/c thread whom no more active here. anyway....better go for kherel77 suggestion as above  biggrin.gif

Ezzy is on the distro side of the business. APES is their retail outlet. He is still there


btw will be ordering some hwlab rads direct. SR-1's atm very cheap.
So anybody needs just tell me. Will be doing payment on monday.

Sorry i have a question here, based on the pic Zzorro posted, can we take the inlet as the user installed (red arrow)? I thought we should use the other intet (yellow arrow)? I'm asking this question bcos i'm going to install this bridge on my gpu waterblock, can sifu here advise?

Follow the terminal bridge instruction on parellel n serial based on what you ordered.

Yeah he did it wrongly. Most probably his block flowrate n liquid spread will be uneven on the gpu part

This not cheaper but shipping is.

some fun facts. Hwlabs are not china made. Hwlabs are the only cpu watercooling radiator based company. The rest are oem's made in china.Not sure about aqua tube thingy though. Their Rad's flowrates are awesome.

take note this is just gts 240 not even the gtx. Nemesis series.

Yup, i refer to the user manual, it should use the inlet which i highlighted in yellow arrow.

However i saw some other users using the other inlet that is why i'm quite confuse. Frankly speaking due to my tubing route issue i wish can use yellow side inlet that is i curious about this.

flow dude. its a bad idea.. they are doing from VRM to GPU. Reverse flow and going against the pin design.
Pretty sure their temps wont be as good .

when they put it at the left side to bottom right.. flow diagram will be 1/2 flowrate goes to first with another 1/2 going to second gpu.
heat coming out of vrm gpu 1 to combine with gpu 2 vrm output to exit the terminal block.

I check the spec for SR1, it is 54mm thick. I'm currently using 1x XSPC EX240 on top  & 1x Alphacool XT45 360mm at front. Thinking to change the top rad since i'm using 2x amd 290 gpu.

flow dude. Radiator works opposite to Blocks. Radiator works best and low flow. So hence the no ppl doing Pump to Rad is major epicness of not understanding rad and misconception of thermal equilibrium. Hence having the rads at the end always is awesome for single pump.

Hence y some ppl clock better than the other. Hence y some ppl aircooling beats a lot of ppl watercooling.

1. 1 unit SR1 560 $125.50
2. 1 unit SR1 280 $83.10
3. 1 unit SR1 140 $46.90
4. 1 unit SR1 120 $39.90

Shipping about USD 7-8 per rad...minimum USD28.... Fedex.

etc. SR-1 design is bigger tubes. It scales well on fan RPM also but not as good as Nemesis GTX design which is low RPM with scalability on High RPM. Basically kills all rads.

but with the price drop of the SR-1.. its too cheap atm.

Afaik old GTS 120 was 250 watts and GTX Extreme 120 was 350 watts. How Nemesis gts120 is 350 and GTX is 450watts.

You are right, i'm going to change my loop as follow,
Pump -->GPU block x 2-->Rad-->CPU block-->rad-->res

What is your opinion on this arrangement?
*
errr..

ok its like this one ure running a single pump. Ure main focus is to understand Pressure and Flowrate is inverse to Pressure. Pressure in this sense will be the distance the water travels.

Ure current one is giving CPU priority but the top rad is not getting enough time to cool the water while it is killing flowrate. Ure gpu needs flowrate rather than cooler water.

Hence best always is Pump to Cpu to GPU 1/2 ( parellel/serial same) to Radiator to Res to Pump. Heatdump from pump is nonsense.

So means that i have to put 2 rads behind the setup, actually i have another spare D5 pump, if i were to put it run parallel with the existing pump in the loop what is your best suggestion?
*
Suggestion:

with acrylic u can make this look nice. Do Pump to GPU to CPU ( use the parellel at the top but tricky with doing in the Left in first and out on right) to top rad (Rad put it the other way around with the barbs in the hdd cage) to front rad ( and then front rad put the rad other way around with the barbs at top) to res to pump

Y? thermal equilbrium and flow rate and pressure.

Flowrate u get maximum to ure Blocks first which creates restriction to increase pressure and reduce flow rate and hence the water can reach the rads and rads will have enough time to cool it back to the res.

ok the 2nd pump. is a con and pro. Ure increasing the flow rate but might increase the flowrate
so usage of dual pumps is to reduce noise and tune the pumps to achieve the balance. not too much flowrate. just perfect as blocks has a limit to optimum flowrate.

Yes i do admire acrylic tube setup very much, problems are i do not have the necessary devices (heat gun for example) & skill to start off, i know can pass it to the shop to do it but that will be very expensive & i do not want to spend so much just for acrylic tube setup

final edit lol

so usage of dual pumps is to reduce noise and tune the pumps to achieve the balance. not too much flowrate. just perfect as blocks has a limit to optimum flowrate. so most ppl will put a flowrate reader at this point to try to get 1.5-2 lpm

hard to think and write and edit and u replying when i am trying to make this clear.. but this is the best.
what u will achieve is highest flow to blocks and lowest flow on the rads.

Sorry bro, i was sitting infront of my pc waiting for your advice...
By the way thanks to your very usefull knowledge, i will start disassemble & redo the loop after i got back my RMA graphic card, but will still using tubing at this moment
*
final bro.
cause i know ure not watercooling for looks. U want performance. Hence y told this config. For me its the same performance then looks. With the acrylic/petg tubes ..looks now is possible with primo tech with compression fittings.

There is another type of radiator. high flow optimized radiator. Example SR-1's. Dont confuse with radiator restriction and high flow radiators.
afaik sr-1 is high flow radiator. because the tubes inside are bigger hence the FPI is smaller at 9 only.

btw i may be wrong about this but this is what i am also trying to understand this atm. HWlabs are changing some radiator flowrate properties with the introduction of SR-1 5 years back and now with Nemesis... Because they produce their own rads/cores etc in house. They achieve high cooling capacity at smaller thickness.

hwlabs are very supportive and informative on all the questions i asked. Still trying to swallow all that data.

XSPC RX are dated, Alphacool monsters etc.. are also dated etc.. aquatuning.. afaik isnt this the failed hmm feser project??

ok difference with a high flow optimized radiator and a normal big thick rads with optimized fin and fpi config.

A situation like
Pump to CPu to Radiator to res. So u get the highest flow to cpu. but because only using single block its hard to get lowerflow to radiator. In the past we use bigger radiators... But Hwlabs are doing highflow optimized radiators afaik to solve this issue. Hence a nemesis Xflow GTS 240 Single pass will beat a RX240. Thats what i think transpired in the review.

so i guess most ppl here are more looks orientated.

since nobody is even discussing how the hell a nemesis gts single pass rad gave the monsta and rx a beatdown. 29mm beat the crap out of a 80mm.

Btw cougar vortex hdb coming soon to MY

Maybe the reason not many have owned HWLabs rads or don't know of them. Which I feel is a shame. Excellent excellent stuff. Only reason I never got them was coz initial case constrain.

Next change, definitely.

cstkl1 Did you get your SR-1s? Or went with the Nemesis range?
*
Well got nemesis gtx for myself 560+280
Others are sr1 for few ppl. Most expensive is sr1 560 @usd 125.
Nemesis price same as retail. Sr1 drop. Their facebook says sr2 coming soon.
Waiting for distro to bring in some vortex HDB. Cheaper also.

If all ok with fedex will post tommorow the sr1 280 n nemesis side by side. 1 day delivery. Lol

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing some results from your end for the nemesis rads. I know one of our members has a Feser Admiral.

Good luck with fedex! thumbup.gif
*
feser admiral is the same as aqua afaik. total failure in cooling. They increased the cooling on higher flow. But with the size most ppl put that rad at the end of the loop and not inbetween. Also require crazy as fan speed and static pressure to reach the last tube.
It was produced by LottersMettal thats not part of TFC. Also they have they own rads same as admiral called thermalfins. Suspect aqua rad is from the same company as well.

i wonder did feser pay back frozen cpu the USD100k they borrowed lol.

similar concept is hwlabs sr series. they have larger tubes and lower fin density. except its fins vs that pipe fin thingy.

I chickened out from using rigid tubing. Everytime after planning the route.. kept thinking.. if had to troubleshoot the pain i had to go through..
so instead of reusing my old stock pile of bitspower gold /black fittings.. gonna try moonsoon free compression. They look nice.

So now only the ek blocks from Apes.

Rad got stuck in customs so hoping with the info i furnished etc will clear tommorow.

countdown to me disappearing once this is done.

btw just got some inside scoop about wc manufactorers etc for the last 10 years.. damn man. full of back stabbing, backbiting, ffk etc.

Apes - (Waiting for blocks and Aerocool DS fans .. hmm the 1500rpm only available in the US/Canada)
Hwlabs - Tommorow fedex with Rm750 tax ( damnit)
PPC - I screwed up something but not a big deal but shows everytime i do stuff at 4-5am in the morning.. things always turned bad. What i did was i ordered 1/2 moonsoon angle adapters for my 3/8 5/8. so just hope that 1/8inch difference wont bee too noticeable. Pure carelessness.

So looks like the weekend after raya will be bz. The issue with acrylic and tj11 is the midplate. Stock is a bit difficult with two rads very close to each other. Measured it a few times. So because of that.. went to tubing. Really too much hassle. Also think will delid after the ghost month period is over.. so september. Seems everything i touch now turns bad. lol
