I know flow rate can make a difference in temperatures, but I'm curious as to how much of an effect it can have. As of right now I have the EK Dual Bay Spin reservoir. The way I have it set up is causing problems, or I think it is.
Here is a diagram of how I have my flow in and out of the res set up.
The flow rate indicator on the cpu loop spins very very slowly to the point where it "creeps" and doesnt spin consistently. I am using the HK 3.0 block with a DDC pump. I had the cpu loop on the radiator alone before and the indicator showed a fast and consistent indicator. I plan on putting one of the loops on a second reservoir soon. I just want to make sure that im not spending money when I dont need to. Any ideas? And my second question is, how much is the situation im in effecting my temps? I clocked the CPU @ 4.41GHz with a volt of 4.1XXX [Cant Remember and cant check since im out of town] it was stable in linx but it hit temps of 90-94c. I'd expect a cpu with a HK 3.0 block and a Fesser XChanger 360 rad w/push pull config to show a bit better temps or am I mistaken? Sorry if im all over the place with this post. Trying to watch Spain vs. Portugal at the same time haha.
