-2 AC Aquagraphix480s (plan on using the 680's)
-2 xspc re360's
-2 90 degree elbows
-8 compression fittings'
ALL IN SERIES
I also plan on using an ek ram block for the corsair dominator, because I might oc my ram at some point and this is an inexpensive block specially made for the ram I would like to use. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14179/ex-blc-968/EK_Corsair_Dominator_Series_X4_Ram_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Electroless_Nickel_Plated_EK-RAM_Dominator_X4_-_EN_Nickel.html?tl=c225s557b133
His estimate seems to tell me I need more pump than the general guidelines in this thread suggest, and more pump than most places suggest. The only single pump that would put me in the "sweet spot" is an Iwaki RD-30 at 24V, which is a monster. There are dual pump options too of course. Do you guys think a build like this would require that much pump?

I think you would be okay with just a single MCP35X. The HF part of 'kryos HF' stands for high flow. It has much less restriction than the XT.

You will still only get about 0.75 GPM, however for these blocks, that is fine. They are designed for low flow.

How about this setup? The pump should be able to handle it right?
XSPC X20 750
XSPC Raystorm CPU Block
Ek/XSPC GTX 680 Full Coverage Block
XSPC RS240 and XSPC RS/RX 120/240 Depending on cash.
I basically want to start off with the XSPC Raystorm RS240 kit and then expand from there. The bolded parts will come in due time, getting the kit first.

This is my rig.

http://www.overclock.net/t/584302/ocn-water-cooling-club-and-picture-gallery/27940#post_18218614

I have the mcp35x set to go to 40% max because any higher and I can hear it. Also have about 3m of tubing.

Do you reckon this is ok?
Temps seem fine really apart from the cpu might be a little higher than I thought it would be, but dunno if this is down to mounting issue with the EK block. Tried to mount it twice but temps remained the same. 2 cores on the cpu do get a fair bit hotter than the rest but I think this might be normal for SB?

Core variation is normal for Sandy Bridge. As long as temperatures are in check, there's no need to up the pump speed.

So the pump maxing at 40% speed is fast enough? and do you think the cpu temps look fine for 4.8ghz with HT enabled with +0.020 offset voltage?
Quote:
Max cpu temp after 10 runs of IBT on maximum(1 hour) + 50 runs IBT highj(20 mins) + 12hrs Prime95 blend + 12 hrs Prime95 small FFT=

core 0=62
core 1=72
core 2=71
core 3=65

Max gpu temps after a few hours of benching with all the 3d marks + haven + some gaming(batman arkham city + skyrim + bf3) =

42 degrees C on each card

When gaming etc the cpu only ever reaches high 50's early 60's. Only ever goes higher when using prime and IBT.
IBT gets it hottest, prime only goes into the 60's

These tests were done with ambient room temp between 20-22 degrees C.

I'll get in touch with Juggalo about that and do it for him if he gives the green light (forgot about doing this last time I posted); the process for adding hotlinks to the essentials sticky isn't very intuitive since it has to be done in raw HTML and he doesn't really like working with that. tongue.gif

I have had an mcp 655 vario since I started water cooling back in 08 and its been doing great so far, however I have a question.
With degration that happens to all things, how can I tell when my pump been all "pumped" out. I've had my pump through various loop con figs the most recent I think is the most vigorous one yet.
Loop atm.
Ek ltx block
Ek x58 classified full cover block
X2 mcr320
X1 mcr240
Xspc d5 dual bay Res.
X2 angled fittings
X2 ek gtx 470 full cover block pump setting to 4.

1. Do I have enough pump for my loop as it is?
This is the extent of my loop its final phase till I change blocks. I will likely just keep radiators.
I am worried about pump lifespans
