Pump Speed - MCP655

[Warbeast]

What pump speed (between 1-5) should i use/maintain for my loop when my system is fully operational?

 

I am using the MCP655 Pump.

How many blocks do you have in your system?

[Warbeast]

GPU, CPU + total of 120mm x10  Rad.

[Foxxer]

I just left it on 4, so lazy to turn it down lol. 

[gatecrasherlok]

I would say have it on 3.

10x 120mm*120mm radiators has like 3x more restriction than like 3*120mm*120mm+3*120mm*120mm+2*120mm*120mm

 

So pleasy tell the size of all radiators seperately.

It depends completely on the radiator, but radiator restriction is negligible anyway compared to blocks.

 

To OP: For only two blocks you're probably looking to be using around setting 2-3. They best way to find out is to stress your system at every setting and see which setting has the performance you want.

I'm with 2x monsta 480 rads and 1 cpu and 1 gpu block

 

I have my pump at speed 1 and my temps are idle 8C on cpu and 29-30C for the gpu. 

 

When gaming its 28-30C on the cpu and 41-42C on the gpu

 

Amd 8350 and radeon r9 290 none-x

 

My answer would be speed 1 but thats in my case

Where do you live that your ambient in-door temps are pretty much below zero?

Or are you talking Delta-C?

I'm talking about my temps when read from the msi afterburner and hwmonitor

Well atleast that CPU temp is not true.

Why is your house so cold?

(Just incase you didn't know, as Radiators are air-cooled, it's physically impossible to go below the ambient temp of a room, even with water cooling. You need some manner of refrigeration to get below ambient)

Then again, that is an AMD core, so it's completely an absolutely inaccurate. AMD CPUs have terrible temperature sensors. I'd say around 30-40 at idle and 50-60 at load is more likely

[TheNinjaNextDor]

I would do a 3 or 4.

1200mm of rad space?! That's twice me!

No no no, I believe you in that that is what your sensor says. But it's not accurate me amigo. It's well documented AMD CPUs don't always report temperatures accurately

I second this notion.  I have mine set at 1 and there is no noise, moves lots of volume and I too have very low temps.  While gaming in BF4 with an average of 30-48 FPS (triple monitor surround 3 x 24" @ 5760 X 1200)my GTX 780 Hydrocopper never goes over 33C.  CPU maxes our at 67C.  I have 2 rads: both 360 rads - one is a double thick one.  I was thinking of adding another rad but I don't need to.  I am running the larger diameter 1/2" tubing for better volume.

2 quad 120 + 1 dual 120 is what i have on right now & at speed 4 on the pump, i currently have 29° C temp, is this the speed i should maintain, or do i need to adjust it?
