Help out a first time watercooler - Page 2

post #11 of 18
For the most part all D5 pumps are the same. They might have different tops and some have variable speed settings but the pump itself is the same. And it's ok if you have one that isn't attached to your reservoir. Just make sure you keep it below your reservoir. But if you want I'd try looking into dual pump reservoirs like the koolance 452x2.

Yes, they are all basically the same. One caveat to consider is if you use the swiftech pump, your warranty will be voided if you take it apart.

I already have the RX360 kit with the single pump res =[ Will swapping the mobo for say a sabertooth z77 make this more realistic? It would remove the need to feed the motherboard water.

You can just add another pump in the loop. You will get better performance with them in serial.

Well there isn't anything wrong with keeping a second pump in series with your other pump but not attached to your reservoir. But if you didn't have to watercool your mobo then you would be ok with just a single pump. It's just a matter of how much money you want to spend on this build.

I think one pump should be good. I am cooling the same amount of equipment (except for the motherboard) and I only run my pump on #3. I would change your loop order (assuming that you don't have to drop tubing size for motherboard) to res/pump,motherboard, cpu, gpu1, gpu2, rx360, rx120, res. I know that loop order isn't supposed to matter (except for res to pump) but as I am using 480sli I did not want my other components to be exposed to the heat from those two fire breathing dragons so I put them last in the loop before going to the radiators so the heat can be removed before going to the other components.

The difference here is that the maximus V formula z77 mobo has a very restrictive waterblock because it has a very narrow channel for the water to flow through. If he only had 1 pump it would work but he'd have much higher temps because his one pump wouldn't be able to produce enough pressure to overcome the restrictiveness of the loop. The flow wouldn't be as fast as it should be.

What if the OP was to run a parallel loop for the motherboard off of the cpu inlet and outlet ? Do you think the motherboard would be cooled effectively?
