Is my pump powerful enough?

[Alex411774]

I have one of those ekwb s240 soft tubing kits. I have since added a p 360 radiator (40mm thick) to the loop and my kraken x62 gives me better temps on my 7700k. The loop is only cooling my cpu. Its delided with thermal grizzly paste (not liquid metal). Its at 5ghz 1.275 volts. Running cinebench, the highest Ive seen is 87 c. While the kraken was 5-7 degrees lower. I also looked and a d5 pump has a flow rate of 1500 L/h or something like that while mine is only 250 L/H. My pump is called ek-xres 100 spc-60 mx pwm. Could this be why my loop is giving less than optimal performance? Or am I missing something else? I have tried many different things over the last few days and cant seem to find the solution. Thanks in advance for any help!

You shouldn't need more than 1 GPM, and 0.5 GPM is like the minimum, so long as ur pump can hit that ur good, in which case it could be some other reason. bad, air the loop, bad fans etc.

 

(227 LPH = 1 GPM)

 

You can always test to see what ur getting within the loop by filling a gallon bucket and seeing how long it takes. It will obviolsy be less than what it can do on its own as its beign restricted by the blocks and rads.

This, the low volume/head pumps work well if the parts are not restrictive (your parts are not) but can be a real pain to bleed!!! If your rads are in the top of your case with the barbs pointing down, they could be filled with air. Tip your case alot!!!!!

Yeah pull the rads out power the system on and shake the ever living hell put of them. Every angle every direction.
