well here are the radiators, my problem is the configuration of them, simply too many possibilities, so if you could find the time to give your opinions, I would really appreciate it.
I also need advice on a type of shroud for the radiators, the purpose is to inshore good air flow through the radiator.
and lastly how to attach the fans to the radiators?



all advice is welcome and thank you

I don't use a flow meter, never have, never will.

Having a picture of a flow meter does nothing to support a finding, especially when you cannot be 100% conclusive that it is reading correctly or you are accurately converting what is being reported. Does the flow meter registering on the pump without restriction show a flow rate that is close to the rated flow of the pump with your conversion?

If so, great, but if so, you're still running lower than 1.0 gpm on your loop, meaning your delta-T MUST be offset to calculate your cooling potential. Meaning - you have to over-rad to accomplish the same cooling ability that you could achieve with a higher flow. Adding cost of 3x 360 radiators ($60, example) starts to get expensive...

Well on a side note my monitor is starting to go out on me, I am looking at the Dell ultra-sharp 30" as a replacement, I need a good monitor, so if anyone has a suggestion? I would be thankful for it, and yes I do understand how expensive these things are!

I happen to own a 24” CRT Benq, and yes for the cost and ability you can’t beat them. I use this monitor as an internet monitor only because I am too afraid to crank the resolution up on it. I know that if I ran it all out all the time it would die very quickly.

Do you think that they have stepped up there game in the past few years, and now make a better monitor?

OK, so I went to the Benq website and I could not find any monitors that have a high enough resolution for me. I am looking for 2560 X 1600 monitors I know that there are not a lot to choose from but I thought that I would ask to see if there were some others out there that I may have over looked and if there is somthing that I missed I would like to know about it.

That's an excellent load temp for 2 GPUs!

Excellent!

When is your Peltier cooling project happening, you said you already bought some parts for that, so when is it going to happen?

Great, I'm curious for anyone undertaking Peltier cooling and since you've already said you would be doing it different than I did, you can share what you learn as is already happening with Moto.

Maybe our experimenting efforts will one day be viable enough to interest the major cooling manufacturers, it very well could be the future of water cooling?

we can only hope for that, but that would be a cool idea, and a step above what is out there now for water cooling. although there have been several comps in the past that have dabbled in the world of TEC cooling for the water cooler like us.

Ok so I have been thinking about this for a while no and this is what i have come up with
jb111713hpchiller126587.jpg



It is a very quiet unit and it might be large enough to cool the entire system if not I will simply return it and get the next one up in size until it does. I think this will be easier to do than the TEC system that I am building and it will happen much sooner. I will still build the other unit but it may take a couple of years the cost is outrages but it is a project and I am having fun with it. Now back to the chiller I have watched a lot of videos online that have similar units and the results are nice and it is easy to implement in an existing system simply replace the radiators and add a large reservoir or several small ones and some insolation around the tubing and reservoir. See not so hard but it is a lot of work I will be starting on that right after my dad’s build is complete

wow thats sweet. the flow of that is crazy even on the smallest one

DBA-075 1/10 hp 1270 115 2.63 240-960 gph 9.8" x 16.5" x 18.5" 44

960 gph max holy $h!t that water will be flying. wonder how it will do keeping a computer cool tho?


this makes me want to use my old rads on my 550s just for fun since i have 2 blocks that may work.
i would try my peltier with my new 240mm rad but i think i killed it last week 🙁

they Have some extreme pumps that you could hook up to these things, but I will only be using standard water cooling pumps two swiftech 655 pumps and a couple of large reservoirs to increase the capacity of the system. In the hopes of achieving more stable temps on the rig, it will be trial and error, but I am going to start with 3, 400 multi-z tanks and see if that is enough. If not I will modify a 5 gallon thermos for a reservoir that should do it.

ahh i thought it was built into that. two 655 pumps should be more than enough i bet one would be enough depending on how much tubing you are using.

my 355 cranks i have to actually turn the pump speed all the way down to get nice temps
