Y-split to cpu and gpu vs serial connection
30 minutes ago, FUSER said:Not sure if that makes sense since my front rad takes cool air from outside to cool the rad which is receiving the theoretically “warmer” flow…
Current orientation:front rad cools by sucking from outside in
side rad cools by blowing from inside out
top rad cools by blowing from insude out
I’d watch the video I posted…
Technically the most efficient thermal transfer would happen if you pump the warmer water through the rad seeing the coolest air. But in a multi rad system, if your blowing warmer air into the case and this over the other radiators, both other rads will work less efficiently and would hurt the loops performance. Again, watch the video…
Make the rad acting as intake the last rad in the loop. And again, I think you are way over thinking this. The amount of rads your planning to use will easily cool your system with the fans spinning near inaudibly. I’m just trying to help provide the best layout that lets all 3 rads, as a system, work at their best. Thermodynamics dictates the front rad being the first in the loop would increase the efficiency of that rad, but it will reduce the efficiency of the other two… which as as the system as a whole is less efficient.
