Loop order

[rasm533c]

so i have heard that you have to have you're pump right after your res so it don't run dry but according to physics if you have bleed your system properly it wont matter where you're pump is because there will always be water in it sense the is no air left in the system

 

i would like to now what is true and what is not because i plan on doing a new system when the 800 series comes out

It makes it easier on your pump when you're bleeding the loop I assume.

[Freaky_spider]

because when filling the loop you dont want to be there air in the pump (because it will die then)

 

thats why the res is always above the pump

[Enderman]

When you fill the loop the pump needs to have only liquid, not air. That's why the resevoir is just before and above the pump, and you fill the resevoir.

Let's make it upside down and the pump feeds in to the res...

lol that would be catastrophic

I would do that in a system with a Titan Z and 5960x with no thermal paste, jack up the voltages, and let the system run.

Placing the pump before the res in the loop and physically higher means that when you fill the system the res will directly feed the pump, meaning that it will not run dry when filling the loop. Bleeding has nothing to do with the order of the system, however, before you bled the system it obviously needs to be filled so thats why the res should come before the pump

We've gone over that already.

but if you fill the loop from a hose that is above the rest the you will have no air in the systeme because the altitude would make it so that the inter loop gets filled

The reasons why that loop order is recommended has been covered many times, but if you want physical proof of what can happen if you don't, I'm sure we'd all enjoy seeing the results.

okay

 

but there is always some air in the loop, and that air is leaving in the res aka, bleeding the loop, and thus the pump wont have air in the loop

 

beleive us, your pump will die if your res isnt above it

No, you will have an air lock. So you have plenty of air killing you pump and no fuild movement. You could have a hose over 40 feet in the air, but if there is no physical way for the air to get out, then the fuild wont move.

 

The pump has plenty of power to push water through the system, but no so much to suck it through the system.

 

Feel free to try your theory, but I think you have better luck burning money on the front lawn.

ok

[Maxwit44]

ok

Sorry wasn't trying to be rude, but I don't like hearing when people get mis informed and break the expensive components. I don't know about you but $100-150 dollar pump, is still $100-150 pump.
