Pumping power

im im the process of building a rad box and i would like to know will my

ddc1(solder modded to 18 watts) be able to push water from below my desk up to my tower (about a 4 foot lift)?

side not: there will actually be two of these (one per loop)

loop one is going to be ddc1, rx360, dtek gfx2, res, ddc1

loop2= ddc3.2, gtx 360, mcr 120, apogee gt, enzotech nb block, res, ddc 3.2

i would get rid of the 120 and put the NB in with the gpu but it should work just fine.

so the pumps are sufficient to get the water to that height? (curious) why would u change what's with what
The swiftech websites say the pump can hit 15ft so, yeah, your good.

The head pressure of the pump isn't very important for actually lifting water in a closed system. It's basically used to tell you how much flow the pump will produce at a given restriction.

That will work fine. I'm with Microman I'd put the NB in the GPU loop to.
seriously? im just wondering why nb with gpu?

It will be less restriction in your CPU loop with-out it, since your CPU is the most temp critical thing that your cooling a loop just for it makes sense because you are running 2 loops anyway.

The NB will be well over cooled in the GPU loop.

Unless you are just really pushing CPU clocks it probably wouldn't matter much either way. Thats just the way I'd do it.

well i guess i see where your going i guess itll give me some room to work maybe a new cpu block ha ha

As you are effectively canceling out any height differences in a close loop system, the height differers won't matter. the pressure from water in the pipe going up will be equal to the pressure in the pipe going down, only the slight pressure drop from the increased hose length.

only one post, and already such an intelligent one, welcome to OCN mate
