Fish gills work in a funny way, the water flows from the more oxygenated area to the less oxygenated end. This means that the difference in oxygen between the water and the gill is at a consistent and low gradient instead of a big spike and then a loss of efficiency. I'm looking into water-cooling my next build, not because I want it to be colder but because I want it to be quieter. To that end I imagine if you had double the rads you could run the fans at half the speeds to make it very quiet under long term load. I also very much enjoy making compact builds that can sit on my desk and not take up a huge footprint, but water-cooling is very much the antithesis of that, especially with any case that supports more than one rad. To bring all that together, what if I stacked multiple rads (like 5) together in a chamber not side by side but with the vents end to end, and placed fans in-between them. Running in series with the hot water into the last rad and running the cold water out of the first. This should like a gill let heat transfer consistently through the whole stack at low fan speeds and also be very dense. I could laser cut a case where the pc components are in a compact stack in the top with no fans, and pipe the cpu and gpu coolant into a different chamber with one intake and one exhaust opposite. My question is would it work or just be a waste of money?

Does the XR5 radiators have ports on either side of the rad like two on the top and two on the bottom, If not which company would have this kind of design?

im still acquiring the parts for my 3nd build an im still deciding on a case an fan an rad layout and i keep leaning towards the Fractal Design Torrent for a custom watercooled build for my 5800x an powercolor 6700xt fighter an if i can get a matching water block for the gpu so both can be liquid cooled iv got both cpu an gpu an Aquacomputer airplex radical 4/280, aluminum fins https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/radiators/radiators-active/280mm/20176/ aquacomputer-airplex-radical-4/280-aluminum-fins iv got 7 x Noctua A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM 158.5 CFM 140 mm Fans now for the Caveat in the layout with the Fractal Design Torrent an that big back area id like to configure the rad an fans like this the rad on the bottom intake aligned ti the two first 140mm spot leaving the last as just air intake an for the front 3 x 140mm run them as exhaust with some filter mesh covering the back minus the rear 140mm intake the reason for this layout is in my home 2 issues plague my 2 current builds 1.this paint flak dust off our stucco ceiling that cakes the intakes after ever two weeks an starts to cake the inside of the case gear after a month so avg cleaning is 4 times the is tiring 2. any decent filter mash that can block the flak dust to were only 1 cleaning a month is needed cuts the air flow an cooling by about 30% which i could almost deal with except it tanks all performance during the summer an in my home during 90plus temps my place holds at 75 degs which makes my idle temp 46c to 48c an under load 57c to 65c all this is solved by removing the filter mesh but then i have to clean it 4 times a month this is taxing my long winded question / rant is this i dont think the thickness of the mesh is the direct cause by its proximity to the fans. so my thinking is that the 3 x Noctua A14 industrialPPC-3000 as exhaust would pull the air throw the case with ease an off the rad which would have the fans on top as a pull config would this be a safe bet to think this would work an if so id reconfigure the other two case an layout to match -
would either of these the Aquacomputer airplex radical 2/420, aluminum fins or the Aquacomputer airplex radical 2/420, aluminum fins fit in the bottom of the torrent if 3 x 140mm fans were mounted first then either rad on top of them an the still have room for 3 x 120mm fans in the front

I need static pressure optimized fans (SPOF) for my triple rad for overclocking my new shiny Ryzen 5 processor and I a going to be doing so extreme overclocking with it so I need good SPOF's. -
Hi, I am worrying if my current rad/fan setup is sufficient for my GPU upgrade(2x 1080 Ti). Here is what I currently have: Case: BeQuiet! Dark base pro 900 Top Rad: EK 420 CE with 3x EK-Vardar F2-140 As exhaust Pull Front Rad: EK 280 CE with 2x 140 BeQuiet SilentWings 3 as intake Push Exhaust Fan Back: 1x BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 GPU: Palit 1070 super jetstream CPU: i7 6700 no OC (water cooled) GPU Overclock: Core: 2050 Mhz, Memory: 4120MHz under 99% load With fans on max and all lids and doors of the case closed I get 51°C - 53°C with GPU and CPU in the loop while playing BF1 on Ultra 1440p with 80-90fps. I consider this pretty hot. Idle temp is ambient + 10°C. I am about to purchase two msi 1080 ti SeaHawk EK X and not sure if my cooling loop/case is up for it? Will it overheat? Are the SilentWings3 too weak in terms of static pressure? The Vardar are on an acceptable noise level though I don't want to go louder. I would be happy if you could share your opinion. Kind regards

So how awful of an idea would it be to align AIO's in a fan -> rad -> fan -> rad -> fan -> rad -> fan configuration (4 fans 3 rads). I fully understand each time it passes through a radiator the air gets more hot. but the reason i ask is to make a SFF(small form factor) case with a ATX motherboard and 3 AIO 120mm loops.

Ok let's try this agian take number two. I want to actually build my next computer with that being said I'm new to this as I never have done this before. Things i have; 1 raidmax delta 1 case 1 1050 ti 1 1tb Samsung evo860 sdd 1 1tb Seagate hdd 1 static free work mate from Ifixit with grounding loop 1 ifixit pro kit. Now I am getting mother bored that can handle icore7 8700k The case can at least one 360mm rad I wanna use "blowyatrons" and there good fans. My issues is my issure I rad and all water blocks I dont wanna mix copper and aluminum. And am wondering what the empeller is made of in the D5 and mcp655 pumps as that is what like to use. And I want a rgb Reservoir as the rest of the tubs will be color. Now we are only talking cpu and expand to gpu. Later I am not trying to cheap out on these parts as they as they are transplant able from one computer to another. Hope this is enough to to work with.

Hello everyone, for the past month, I've been researching non-stop: YouTube videos, articles and forums about watercooling and the parts I need to make it work. I've been too overwhelmed with the information I've been process throughout all of this, and I'm still confused on what I need to get and if the parts will be compatible with one another (i.e compression fittings with the tube, etc, etc.) So, I've ordered two of these: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125988&cm_re=aorus_1080_ti-_-14-125-988-_-Product They already have the waterblock on them. Currently, have Aorus 1080 SLI. I'm going to be selling my 1080's after. So some details if someone would be kind enough to pick out the needed parts for me, I'd be extremely grateful: Soft tubing (probably from Primochill) and should be clear tubing. Compression fittings Bleed/Ball Valve CPU Waterblock Radiators This is my current case, so you can see how many rads can fit in it as they show you a diagram if you scroll at the bottom of their page: http://www.thermaltake.com/Chassis/Full_Tower_/Core/C_00003076/Core_V71_Tempered_Glass_Edition/design.htm I already know which reservoir/pump combo I'm going to get: http://www.enermax.com/home.php?fn=eng/product_a1_1_1&lv0=109&lv I'm coming to you all because I'm afraid I might order the wrong parts. Okay, thank you!

okay so im starting to plan out my custom loop. i have a asus rog maximus viii forumla that has the ports in the mother board for the watercooling i plan on doing a cpu and gpu along side with the motherboard. should i be getting one large rad or two rads? and if i get two rads that means i need another res and pump right??
-
In the diagram bellow is a not so good draft of a system im custom designing. However i need some advice. I want to use 2 t joint fittings for the inlet and the outlet. Two t joint will split lead to the cpu inlet block and the 2 gpu inlet. Is it capable? What kinda pump would i need to push pull the water? Will it affect the temps on the components? Can a single 180mm radiator cool 2 gpus and a cpu? Im all ears and eyes guys, let me have it

Hey guys, I am going to be ordering parts soon, so I am trying to figure out how to get my fans setup and which fans would be best for my situation. I am going to most likely be getting the Phanteks Luxe. Here's a look at the Luxe just in case. ------------------------------------------------- Might not be the best picture, but as you can see that the hdd cages are behind the panel that starts at the dotted lines. I will be using a 280mm cooler that I'll probably be mounting at the top. I may also be getting a 980 Ti Hybrid (Possibly 2, not sure yet). So I'm still trying to figure out where I'd mount them, maybe one at top with the cpu rad and one at the back. (I know this isn't the liquid cooling section, sorry just kinda talking out loud at the same time) Back to the air cooling though..included is a 200mm front fan. Though is it better to have two 140s instead of a 200? I also believe I can mount 2 120s on the HDD cages (If I kept them in, not sure about that either!) Along with fans on the bottom (I think 2 120s or 140s, not sure). So main question....is it better to have 140s instead of a 200? How should I setup my fans? And which fans would be best for this case? Of course I'd like the best airflow to get the best temps. Sound isn't a main concern, but of course quieter is better as long as it doesn't hurt temps that much. I currently have 5 Corsair AF Fans and my 670 running at high fan speeds when gaming, so I'm semi-used to it, but like I said quieter could be good too. Anything is appeciated, sorry if this was long! **( I will also most likely be using 2 HDD's and 2 SSD's as of now.)

Hi guys! I'm interesting to build a hard pipe water cooled sistem with existing pc parts that I have. PARTS: i7 4790k asus z97 armored edition asus gtx980ti sli (second is on the way) corsair air240 So my question is will it be enought cooling for cpu and two gpu with one 240mm rad in the front like I saw on linus video from pax prime 2015 (look picture) or I needed one more on the top and order costum printed top cover? thanks

So i saw this new mantra case from nzxt and i love the look. I was going to do a powerful build in the ncase m1 with a full custom loop but now thinking about switching to the mantra as it has more rad space as i want to fit a 6700k and either a 980ti or basicly the most powerful gpu i can buy when i start building this. Possibly the fury x2 if that comes out. Any thoughts on those cases and which one i should finally go with?

Anti-Vibration Mounts for Radiators
ProfessorShroom posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you have a soloution to mounting radiators on cases, I want to stop the vibrations with some sort of rubber mounts. -
Hello, I have a an Asus Rampage IV Extreme, 2 x Alphacool NexXxos UT60 360mm, a 780ti Classified Kingpin Edition and a DimasTech Bench/Test Table Easy V3.0. The point is that I hate this bench table and I wish to buy a "real" case to fit all this hardware or at least 1 of 2 radiators. I checked Corsair's 750D but I don't like having just one option. Also I cannot afford something over 200€ (I am from Greece) like a 900D. So any help?

I am looking for a radiator to do a future water loop. I need an input port and an export port on a dual 120mm rad that will be on one side then another (if that made any sence). I do not want to run a hose across my motherboard, just looks bad. This will for my CPU and the second rad for my two R9 290x that will be over clocked and will produce a crap ton of heat. This set up will be in a Thermaltake Level 10 GT case hanging from the top. I will also be hanging a radiator from the outside back vent using brackets so it can have multiple fans (mostly likely the same size) for my two R9 290x GPUs. All and any suggestions will be apreciated. This will be done sometime in 2016. Once the parts are all picked out I will post what I will be getting and sometime in 2016 post pics of the setup. Is it far away? Yes but I will do so as a big thanks! Thank you so much guys.

tl:dr - First watercooling build, got two 980ti and a skylate i7 overclocked a decent amount, how much rad space do I need if I want my fans running 1200 rpm max and all 3 parts running max. I'd like to have a max temp of 65C in this condition assuming the room is room temperature. Ok I've been planning on building my first water cooled build for a while now but I just haven’t been settle on this question: How much rad space do I actually need? I've done some reading on tdp and delta t but it’s really hard to find a general rule of thumb that keeps in mind a quiet fan RPM. So I'm cooling 2 980ti's and i7 6700k or maybe some skylake X99 equivalent (currently ivy bridge i5 which will hold for now). I estimate a tdp of around 800 watts to cool after overclocks (not going for the highest but they shouldn't be slouches either). Now if I want to run my fans at around 1000 rpm maybe 1200 max, trying to the max temp 65C when everything is running 100% how much rad space do I need. I know that the thickness of a rad matters but not as much as the area. Let’s assume I'm only going to use 30mm rads in push (will change with case but for simplicity sake). So what am I looking at in terms of rads? -
Hi, In December I am going to build a system in a Caselabs SMA8 with 2 16 FPI 480mm and 560mm rads. I am aiming for a red/black color scheme and I am torn between Aerocool DS fans and a Corsair HPE SP120 and Corsair AF140. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Wondering if anyone has the Enthoo Evolv ATX case and/or knows if two 360mm rads can fit at the same time, one in the front and one on top. I will be using ridged tubing. I'll attach a very high detail and techincal diagram of what I plan on doing.
-
Heii Linus forums i have a question about the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Is it possible to fit a 280mm in the top and a 240mm in the front and has anyone done this before. Thanks for the answers.

Okay so im looking at the Phantom 820 and i was wondering if i could mount a triple 120mm rad on the top and still be able to have a optical driver too or would i be better off going with a dual 120mm rad there will be a second rad placed at the bottom of the of the case i will be pulling the bottom hard drive bay out. here is a list of my parts that im going to have in the computer the fans will be replace with either the Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition or the Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition i just dont know how many i will need and also there will be another 16gb of ram and another video card later down the line when is have some more money. thus is the reason why i have the 860w power supply and also what is a good pump and rez combo because that will be going right under the optical drive unless you know of a something that would work better then that.

Hi, so i probably look really needy now because i keep asking stuff on here everyday. this computer will be used for high end gaming and photo shop, modding stuff like the and multi mead center. so buying a Mercury S8 and a Mercury S8 Pedestal and some other stuff on my wishlist. the over all price will be around $4,000.00 - $5,000.00 USD. so one of the questions is, i was wondering where i should put the rads and what size should I put because I'm not sure. the loop will have 2 blocks as of now a its will have a CPU block and a GPU block so fare i might double the GPU blocks but not sure if i want to yet. the second question i have is about a res and a pump. the case will have windows on the side panels so that you can see into it, so i would like a cool looking res buts i don't want to sacrifice quality for a cool looking one. here is two parts lists that i was think about. let me know what you think and i know is missing the Video Card and that's because im not sure on that i do have a few ideas but let me know what you think i should it can be one or two cards. first Total: $2861.91 CPU Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Combo or $302.98 Motherboard Asus Maximus VI Extreme ATX LGA1150 Combo or $376.99 Memory Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 $144.99 Storage Samsung EVO 1TB 2.5" SSD $499.99 Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM $109.99 Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM $109.99 Sound Card Asus Xonar Phoebus $178.98 Power Supply Corsair 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V $289.99 Optical Drive Asus BW-16D1HT Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer (Purchased) $0.00 Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional (32/64-bit) (Purchased) $0.00 Mouse Razer Naga 2012 Wired Laser (Purchased) $0.00 Custom PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 3/8in. x 5/8in.

Hey, this is my first post so go easy on me lol I am looking at getting a 280mm radiator (most likely a ut60) for the front of my arc midi r2 and I was wondering which of these pressure optimized fans would give me the best noise/performance ratio? I have already kitted my case out with 6 corsair sp-120s PE fans in anticipation of my watercooling build but have found thier noise to be somewhat annoying at rpms over 1100 or so. So i have decided to replace 2-4 of them with some 140 mm fans depending on whether I end up going push pull or not. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated, especially bearing in mind that this will be my first watercooling setup.

Here is my part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7LHhNQ As you can see I need a case capable of being able to house two rads. Would I still need airflow to the other parts? If so, do I then need more space for two fans? Any help is greatly appreciated.
