No RADS between CPU/CPU nor CPU(x2)/GPU?

What for? As long as my flow rate is high enough the rise in temperature

from block to block will be inconsequential (not zero, of course, because

that's a thermodynamic impossibility, but negligibly small).

I'm a proponent of not just blathering on without supporting evidence,

so I recommend having a look at this image from this review of the SR-1 radiators:

Now, as you can see, the water temperature difference between inlet and outlet

of the radiator was measured, and it was 0.71 C or less (the air, on

the other hand, gets warmed up rather significantly when cooling the radiator).

Assuming you have one radiator in your loop, that radiator will dump all the

heat the water has taken on from all the components, which means that the temp

rise over each individual components will be even smaller than the total water

temp drop over the radiator.

So, as you can easily see, putting radiators between components is not a

thermodynamic necessity (it doesn't hurt, it just doesn't really gain you much

either). . Priority should (at least IMHO) lie with making a clean loop, the rest

will sort itself out.

That is of course, provided I haven't made a fatal flaw in my thinking somewhere,

which I must admit is always a possibility. :lol:

EDIT:

I want those colors! And I want those drawing skills... and I want a lolly. 

halp..

 

Well, they're not that fancy. I'm shit at drawing anything else besides

technical parts. :lol:

 

Lol He has my father's handwriting! Alpen.. Are you...My?

 

Hm, let's think about that for a sec

Nah, I don't think you need to worry about that.

 

I'm trying to visualise your loop, but am having a hard time mapping the blocks to the motherboard. Would it be possible to add a legend?

Haha, that does not surprise me, it is rather abstract. But I'm not sure

what additional info a legend would contain, CPU0 PWR is the block for the

power distribution for CPU0 (the smaller one), and M/B is the second (larger)

block.

[Raboo]

Looking like a good loop.

I'm looking at this and trying to map the blocks in your drawing onto that, but I'm assuming now you're only watercooling the chip between the two CPU's?

I think I'm getting there

Ah, I see. That is a very interesting block design, I'd never seen that before.

If you look at the pics of the MIPS block earlier in the thread you'll see that

it only consists of two pieces, the larger one being a combined block for the

power distribution for CPU 1, the M/B chips and the NF200 chips. I'm cooling the

same things as the block you've linked I think (can't really do much else, the

chipset for 1366 pulls almost 30 W as opposed to not even 10 W for its succesors

if I recall correctly, and the NF200's get rather hot as well from what I've heard),

just with two instead of three blocks overall.

EDIT:

One serious flaw I see in that block: The outlets for the large combo part

block the first GPU slot, do they not?

[Nicktrance]

No he's water cooling everything in the diagram you linked + RAM and CPUs/GPU. He's using a different single block design instead of the two large MB blocks in that diagram (This one: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/11201-helios-caselabs-smh10-blackcopper-evga-sr-2-geforce-titan-by-alpenwasser/?p=767445). It might help if you try to visualise the parts on one of his own pics (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/11201-helios-caselabs-smh10-blackcopper-evga-sr-2-geforce-titan-by-alpenwasser/?p=793926) that's what I did at least.

 

Looking at that image, he'll be snaking his way from the bottom (starting at the pumps) towards the right all the way to the bottom RAM slots, then up to the CPU and back all the way to the left and finally the big MB block, GPU and top rad.

Pretty much. Starting at the pumps, it's down into the lower chamber, and

back into the smaller M/B block, then I do a snake-like route across the

M/B, into the GPU, the top radiator (which will have its ports at the case's

back, most likely), then back to the front into the res and the pumps.

EDIT:

Yes, that design is flawed. It was just the first image I got from my Google Search, to see what parts needed watercooling.

Hehe, no problem man. It was just that I'd never come across that design before

(and I'm not astonished why). The only blocks I've actually seen in builds are

the Mips, EKWB and Bitspower ones, along with nateman_doo's custom copper goodness

(a guy on OCN who makes custom blocks, sadly I learned of his endeavors too late

and had already purchased my blocks by then, but here's some pr0n of that block

for y'all)

(Credit to nateman_doo)

Yeah, I know, it's glorious!

EDIT:

@MG2R When did you become a mod? Congrats!

[MG2R]

<dat copper pr0n>

Dayum!

Came as a total surprise, but I'm very happy with the opportunity given to me.

[B NEGATIVE]

Nates block looks really good..but its no MIPS....

 

 

Pron.....just pure filthy pron..

[alpenwasser]

Dayum!

 

 

Pretty much, yeah.

Kewl!

Personally I must admit I wouldn't have the time to do that job properly, but it's

nice to have my own personal mod now. *evil laugh*

Hehe, I'm certainly not unhappy with my MIPS, especially now that is has those copper

bolts. And come to think of it, that massive copper block might have just overloaded

the build with copper and made it a bit too much. Nonetheless, the guy in me who has

a fetish for massive blocks of metal certainly gets a bit squishy in his knees when

looking at Nate's work.

[MG2R]

 Personally I must admit I wouldn't have the time to do that job properly,

I must admit, I'm scared I'll run into that problem as well, but I have talked about this with Slick and we'll see how things go.

 

 

but it's nice to have my own personal mod now. *evil laugh*

That's it, you're the first one to be ignored!

Unless, of course, there are some schnitzels, pizzas or bacon strips involved

 

the guy in me

You might to watch out who you share this kind of information with

[alpenwasser]

We'll see

You might to watch out who you share this kind of information with

I meant the guy I'm in. No, wait, the gal I'm in? Aaargh, dammit!

[MG2R]

Excellent

[alpenwasser]

Excellent

<evil plotting>

Wait, are you the guy in me? How, why, when, where, I'm so confused now...

Do all mods have access to me? Oh lord, must think nice thoughts, must think happy thoughts...

NO, not that! No, no, no!

[MG2R]

Wait, are you the guy in me?

Well, that derailed quickly...

 

 

Do all mods have access to me?

We have all the access

 

 

 

except for admin-only sections of course...

[alpenwasser]

Well, that derailed quickly...

Well, my head has a habit of finding scary places and then jumping there ASAP. 

 

We have all the access

I'm not sure how I feel about that.  

 

 

except for admin-only sections of course...

I don't think I want to know what places they can go :lol:

[Bluejay0]

Dat copper plate!

[B NEGATIVE]

there are some schnitzels, pizzas or bacon strips involved

 

Whassthis?

 

Im in,not sure what for for but bacon is hard to pass up.

[MG2R]

Im in,not sure what for for but bacon is hard to pass up.

Hard? Mission impossible!  

[Bluejay0]

Hard? Mission impossible!

 

Congrats on the Mod! How did you even get it?

[alpenwasser]

Well, schnitzels bacon etc. are kind of a thing around these parts of the woods.

 

Dammit, now I'm hungry! Or maybe that's just because it's dinner time. Ah well,

off to the kitchen then.

EDIT:

We even have a member called "Schnitzel", let's see if we can summon him: @Schnitzel!

[MG2R]

Congrats on the Mod! How did you even get it?

I have no idea. Slick contacted me.

[Kiwiandapple]

@Slick can I have some pizza?  

[MariusJS]

@Slick can I have some pizza?

If possible I would like a Schintzel @Slick
