Why are the specs all over the place. Is the water tank on the the other side with the evaporator?
Nvm i see it. It is on the left. Can you read the compressor's spec on its label?
That looks like the tank to me. Most will have a thin black sticky foam wrapped over them for some insulation.

The coil looks like a traditional coil size you would see on a JBJ or Hailea. Cannot tell tank size, if that’s a small tank, it’ll need a buffer tank. Honestly, I’d use the pump that’s on it, looks great to me. Flow rate is so critical with a chiller. it doesn’t matter how big or small a chiller is, if it doesn’t have a large enough buffer tank, and tons of flow rate it will not sustain cold water under high wattage, it’ll just slowly creep up. Head pressure doubles with D5’s pumps, so some of us are running several D5’s together, Sinai thinks that single pump is just fine. Another good pump for chillers is Eheim pumps, which work great! They can put out some good power too.

The tank is 11L or 3 gallons. The flow rate of the pump is 960lph

Yeah that is not too crazy. Use the included pump and maybe even add another! There are guys on here running dual Eheim 1260’s. These Eheim 1260’s are rated as 2400L/H pumps each, and real world in the system with some resistance on them they are probably doing 700-800L/H with two running together. So I think your one pump would be required at a minimum for best performance. I ran (5) D5’s and saw 500L/H on a good day, which I still wanted more lol. So if using chiller MORE PUMPA= BETTER. 🙂

@newls1 has two Eheims. Can’t remember if he has 1250’s or 1260’s.

They’ll wire these 110v pumps to 110v key fobs. So you can press a button on a keychain and they power on. Very cool stuff I have seen done with these.

your 3090 got a nice cooler and probably a good case. I stuffed mine in a mid tower and the EVGA FTW3 cooler is trash. I need 87% power limit with an undervolt otherwise it will thermal down to 1827MHz. I'm at like 1950MHz 87% 950mV and got 87C just running Port Royal once on 100% fan speed haha

The 5090 does very well in the Fractal North XL, my 24/7 oc barely gets the gpu fans above 50% and 72C
 
It’s not as bad as it looked on paper:

it’s literally an off the shelf pump with its 24v adapter power brick zip tied inside the case lol. I’ll just snip the wires and add some quick disconnects if I want to run it without it. The radiator is insane though, it’s almost the size of my MORA lol

Mine pump is even more crazy :)

I use nearly exactly that, but the dual outlet version, and I'm on 1260's
 
lol I’m kind of upset about this pump. It seems so unnecessarily powerful.

rated 1800w. No idea about sound as I need to do some work to get it all prepped and ready to turn on.
How much was the cost
 
My chiller added nearly $100 every month to my home power bill, it was probably like $85 at least each month, (Can’t remember exactly anymore) but I can find out for sure with my electricity app. I used my chiller 24/7/365 with a a 10 gallon tank, and this is a brand new home. But essentially whether my PC was off or on, the chiller was on standby ready to click on to chill my tank to 15c, when the PC was off, it may click on once or twice over night but that’s it, during the day with PC on, it’s gonna click on multiple times at least every 7-10 minutes, or run continuously when gaming, anyways, when we moved in to our new house for a few months, we were like man, those shady asss salesman talked a big game on how cheap our light bill was gonna be in the new energy efficient smart home etc lol. 😂 And after closeting my chiller, and moving to new case and new radiators and ambient water cooling, I was amazed by how cheap my power bill become. Seriously amazed.

I don’t think I’d ever run that 5200 unit daily. That would be expensive.
I'm still unsure whether I need 10 gallons or whether 5 gallons is enough. In any case, it should keep the temperature constant for 1-3 minutes benches. But which one?
 
okay so it is only a .8hp compressor like the website spec mentioned, but the tank size and pump is different.. The pump pulls 370W? 😶 and 70L/min? that is 4200l/hr.. ah **** is that gonna overwhelm the D5s if you connect it directly to the loop... :poop:
I have almost the same compressor in my CW5200 and yet my CW5300 weighs 20kg more?

My CW5200 is fitted with exactly this compressor. And my pump has ‘only’ 50W (23L/min). And I wonder why his chiller is much heavier. Fact is, I don't have an original S&A chiller (it only cost 299€ including shipping)

Nice :)
But don't build this chiller directly in your loop. It could be a disaster :ROFLMAO:

I only have the P2450 (50W) and it scares me directly in the loop :oops:

And please, took a photo from type plate (tech. data from compressor)
 
Could you have got a more powerful CW5300 for the same price? E.g. CW-5300AH with with almost double the cooling capacity - 3.27kW (yours 1.77kW)
No, this guy just had a bunch of the DIs he was trying to unload. But also, the more powerful ones are all 220v so not able to plug into standard US power outlets. For $350, it’s an absolute steal either way.
