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...

The truth is that I don't know 'what'? I'm asking you to clarify on what I am wrong about. That you could be reading your flow meter wrong or calculating the flow incorrectly? Or that I don't know what I am talking about? What does your testing of your loop tell you that I am incorrect about?

I'm asking you to clarify on what I am so incorrect about - stop telling me that because I don't use a flow meter that I don't have any basis on knowing what I am talking about. A flow meter is simply a measurement tool. Without knowing what to do with the information it gives you, it is a pointless tool.

I've sent you a PM about a private warning and keeping this debate civilized. Now this is a public one. And the final one.

Just wondering, in what world is it necessary to have 136 fittings, or however many it was?

well I am talking about every fitting the 90's, t's, double males, double females, the QDC,s everything every single fitting here look at the picks and it will make since

there are a lot of different fittings on this loop

The argument you 2 are having is totally irrelevant and does not look good to those looking on!

I have long stopped reading every word between you 2 as it is useless information anyway, whose right whose wrong does not matter, unless you are comparing apples to apples with absolutely identical setups.

TM_03 you actually admitted when you re-posted in this thread after a half year of nothing, you had seen the uselessness of all the added components you were running, I thought great he has learned some valuable data, but now?

Regression and back to arguments?

You originally asked for help on the replacement memory, and said you were running DDR3, well as for me I run G-Skill period, and I suggest those modules in whatever flavor you desire.

can I ask why g skill memory?

I have no idea what memory is good today but I do know that I have a bag full of different types of memory that has popped over the years just like this corsair memory did.

the only memory that I have had run for any longer than 3 years is OCZ plat2 DDR1 400Mhz memory it ran for 8 years.

I would like to find something today that is as stable as the OCZ memory was, but I do not even know if that is possible today, but if you think that G skill memory is stable, I will buy it, as I respect your thoughts on this type of stuff, even though I might argue with you at times.
its not that I thank your right or wrong, I am just trying to understand how you can to your understandings. I know that it might not come out that way all the time, but my communication skills suck, and they always have, sorry for that.

ok so to give some understanding to how many fittings I used I am removing the water cooling on the memory and SSD's this will also remove 56 fittings from the system. lol
I have a lot of extras now but that is fine as I plan to add another radiator to my dads system at some point and now I have the fittings to do so.
I will also replace all the seals on the system as it will be all apart and you can buy them in packs of 100.

Because it is quality memory, it runs just as it is advertised to, and beyond when OCing, G-Skill is dedicated to producing the best quality system memory they can put out the door.

They are 100% about memory, they don't make, cases, power supplies, air or water coolers, SSDs, etc. etc., as some spread too thin companies like Corsair, that used to be totally dedicated to memory module manufacturing, understand.

That's pretty much all I have to say about it, and save your typing, you will not be changing my mind about it.

I guess what I am really asking is what would you put in this machine?
and on I am not going to get mad at you if it pops in three years.
I had 16 gigs before I don't know if it helped, what I was really trying to take advantage of the quad channel capabilities of the board, by having 4 sticks of memory, but I do not even know if that was really working or not.

I am running the G-Skill Trident myself but not 32Gb of it.

I do have a 32Gb kit of G-Skill 1600mhz and began running it and testing how much memory my operating system was using vs the gaming I do and Audio/Video encoding applications I was running, even multi-tasking with numerous programs running.

I wasn't using hardly any of the 32Gb of memory at all, so I dropped down to 16Gb and ran the same tests and discovered the same thing with 16Gb, so now I am running 8Gb, and it doesn't even use all of that, so I would suggest getting an 8Gb set and go with that. (BUT read on!)

Best thing to do is run your own memory use tests in Task Manager with the memory you have, and see how much memory the programs you run require, then you will have a better idea of the amount of memory that's best for you to get for your system.

Then you can make your amount choice on actual memory use information for the applications you are running, vs blowing a wad of cash on a large amount of system memory that won't even come close to being used.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The amount of memory modules you run occupying the DDR3 sockets can also affect your overall CPU overclock if you are an overclocker, and you're better off only running 2 modules in the motherboards recommended dual channel memory slots. (That only applies if you are overclocking the CPU to high OC levels.)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Edit: If we are talking about a quad channel memory motherboard like the Intel DX79SR, you list in your sig then you will need a 4 module kit, but how much total Gb a 4 module kit is still the question.

ok so when I first bought the XSPC raystrom CPU block it comes with a plastic face plate for mounting.

this piece is weak and it started cracking right off and had to be replaced it within 3 months.
so I bought a aftermarket mount made of aluminum and have had no issues since.

the only draw back is that I can no longer place little LED's in the blocks mounting plate like this.

but that does not bother me, as that is for looks not performance.
