Temps, rads, maths

[EMENCII]

Hello VIPs (very intelligent persons),

I'm here to ask a simple question: I know the heat dissipation value of a radiator and the heat output of my system, so how can I calculate the temps of the components? Can I also calculate the temperature of the water?

Thank you for your time,

EMENCII

You can view the temperatures using programs like Aida64, CPUZ, Realtemp, etc.

 Software can tell you temps of hardware.  Water temps nobody has bothered though.

It's to plan how much rad space I want, I dont have the system ^^'

Water temps rarely matter unless you live in a volcano.  1-4c water temp difference won't make any real difference to your hardware really.

Different components will output different amounts of heat.  It's rather hard to calculate since every part is unique.  For example, one CPU could idle at 33*C but another one of the same model with the same cooler could idle at 29*C.

its hard

where do you live ?

do you put the Computer on a AC room ?

what compoment you gonna watercool ?

I was thinking about load temps, I know the output is different but was just to plan, not to create a nuclear reactor, just more or less...

Both CPU and GPU, but I wanted to use the AC's rad to cool the components, that's why I was asking, found very little material about this. I live in Italy, is written under my profile pic ^^

You can never calculate the component or water temperature but you can read them from various different software like Aida64 as mentioned by the others. To measure/read the water temperature from the reservoir with parts like this or this and there are others as well but do the same thing.

120 will do at Push Pull config but if planning to leave the AC room get 240mm

[Enderman]

there are too many variables to calculate the temperatures that you will get

surface area, air speed, air temperature, energy transfer, block efficiency, etc...

its just not possible without a computer simulation

 

 

the simple rule is at least one 120mm rad per component, and if youre not limited by budget just buy as much radiator capacity as possible

[airdeano]

i'd want to extend the above formula:

if stock voltage/clocks then a 120mm per cooled device.

if overclocking with more voltage, then a 240 for CPU and 120 for each GPU.

i think @JayzTwoCents uses a 240 per overclocked device formula.

 

as to coolant, that really cannot be nailed down due to too many variables.

"use the AC's rad" I meant connecting it with tubes at the loop, not talking about 120mm and stuff, it's 800*450mm... 4.5KW of heat dissipation... So maybe I could put two...

you still cant calculate the temperatures exactly

just build the loop and use temperature sensors to get the values

that rad is definitely enough for any system

I know, but knowing in advance is always good ^^

[Enderman]

I know, but knowing in advantage is always good ^^

you mean advance, not advantage, right?

Sorry, not really awake right now ^^'
