Do we need distilled water for water cooling system ? can't use normal water from home only ?  sad.gif

Tap water contains lot of contamination may cause chemical effect with the waterblock or metal fittings

Spritzer? That drinking water you mean..mineral water right...thanks bro...

Don't buy the mineral water, there is another type drinking water, normally has white color cap

If another one is RO(reverse osmosis) drinking water..this water?

Should be ok, as long as it is non-mineral water

I use this before i move to EK coolant

Where did you bought this bro..tq

I bought from AEON, but not necessary same brand, kedai runcit or 7-11 also got sell other brands of drinking water, as long as you choose white color cap will do

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
*
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.

Ok, understood now, seem like i need to re-plan the route again

btw is that ure rig??

Y u cannot use a SR1?/

what is ure current rad?

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 config has two options
1. 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.
2. Ure second suggestion. How u going to do that on parellel. and also this will reduce the flowrate to ure cpu. So u will sacrifice flowrate to cpu.

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) and run xspc 90 degrees. so goes in to the middle and top goes to rad. Rad put it the other way around with the barbs in the hdd cage. and then front rad put the rad other way around with the barbs at top. so top rad to front rad to res.

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.
*
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

ok the 2nd pump. is a con and pro. Ure increasing the flow rate but might increase flowrate to rads... inverse.. its inceasing the capacity to carry water but decreasing cooling time on rad.
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

Ditch that terminal block and do this
http://www.overclock.net/t/584302/ocn-wate...0#post_22584242

easier and better.

Haha...initially want to use something like this but after checked the price for the terminal block isn't that expensive and i felt it is more easy to setup.

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

dammnit. got taxed for the rads at 30%. they refused to accept the hwlabs catalogue etc..

it was part of PPC stuff. around USD400 worth of barbs, pump top , res, thermal paste, termal pads,

Now only waiting for Ezzy to finish his raya so can get back ek blocks.

Bro, would u mind to post a worklog for your rig? From the hardware & components you mentioned it will be a monster rig

When everybody is talking about acrylic tubing but i'm still using lousy tubing.
Got back my RMAed Sapphire 290 last week so take opportunity to redo the loop order

crap.... lol was looking for this one specific item high and low.. and guess what cyntrix brought it in and storm88, zeonpc has a ton of it.

Swiftech 8 pwm fan splitter.
http://www.swiftech.com/8-WayPWMsplitter.aspx

this item will negate the sillyness of using fan controllers that are expensive and normally limited to 6 fans etc...

it powers 8 pwn fans and has a single pwm fan to mobo cpu fan header to control it..

grab man.. only frozen cpu has this and its always sold out although theirs is a sata powered one.
we in malaysia have a lot of it.
*
Yup bought one few months ago from Cyntrix, now all my fan connected to it
