Watercooling question

Hello guys is it dangerous for pump to make cpu waterblock -reservoir-pump-radiator-cpu...

Thanks for help

what does that even mean?

[Josephdalepi]

what does that even mean?

not dangerous, but not optimal

reservoir-pump-cpu-rad-res will be better

[b.schesch]

what does that even mean?

That water isnt cooled before going in pump

[b.schesch]

not dangerous, but not optimal

reservoir-pump-cpu-rad-res will be better

I understand but it will look ugly if i do like this

[Josephdalepi]

I understand but it will look ugly if i do like this

always hook up the res feeding the pump

it may not look as good, but its the very best

[Dango]

Order does not matter. Just make sure reservoir feed the pump, that's all.

It doesn't matter the order as others have said as long as your res is before the pump and above it. The fluid in the loop moves at a very fast pace so it will not heat up the next component down the lines as many see it.

after all these years, when new people asking loop order, there still answers like what's optimal in a performance perspective....
come on... LOOP ORDER DOES NOT MATTER in performance.

Just make sure the pump is right behind the radiator just in case.

do u mean by res then pump?? and also higher then pump...

o pump not likely will run dry?

No, it is better to have the most pressure pushing the water from the res.

However it is only noted that this is useful only on large reservoirs.

It helps keep the flow going.

I still dont understand, your post mentioned only pump and rad in order.

 

and what is "most pressure from the res"??

Theoretical stuff ignore me ~

Theoretically you can run a loop without a res, having it be a pain during filling but the reason why it's suggested to always have the res above and before the pump is to ensure it never runs dry. 

 

And I think he meant res not rad in the previous post.

[GhostHitWall]

And yet he's still trying to explain it... I appreciate that..

But I was hoping radiator will come into his statement, so I learn new things .. I guess it's not gonna happen.. Was just a typo of his

And btw either or u have a long or short loop, Gravity is a safety concern for u pump.. The benefit of the position of the reservoir to help ur flow is too small... Just like it's been proven again and again.. Loop order theoretically matters but in real practice it doesn't

The design of outlet and inlet are real factors can influence overall restriction.

[Najuno]

So you have the reservoir right?

 

That part has the most water of all the components, so that why it contributes to the water flow.

 

Make sure that the exit of the water is faced downwards, thus gravity helps it pull the water through the loop.

 

However, if you have a long loop system and a small reservoir, gravity alone is not going to restart the loop, there is when the pump comes in.

 

The pump location helps the water to flow better, you can in theory put the pump somewhere else other than right behind the reservoir, but it will not be as effective as when it is right behind it.

Mhm sorry this post is full of mistakes. Are you actually using custom water cooling? I don´t mean to be a dick about it but you are wrong.

My radiator holds actually more fluid than my reservoir, I only use one of my reservoirs to ensure that the pump has sufficient cooling fluid from the beginning and especially when filling or bleeding the loop with fluid. The main reason is to ensure the pump has water in the moment it starts rotating because it would damage the bearing if it ran dry. Order doesn´t matter in terms of performance and pump, because it won´t have that much influence on your Delta Temp and this is all that matters when it comes to custom watercooling in terms of performance... what kind of pump? DDC, D5, external 110-240V? Variable, PWM or fix? Pump location helps the water flow better? Really?! Maybe if you mount an aquarium pump for a 2 gallon fish tank that has very limited pressure or flow... a D5 or DDC won´t have any issues even if you´d use a Caselabs TX10!

 

So please don´t post such nonsense, because either your research is poor or you never did custom water cooling yourself.

Okay.

Thank you for pointing out my errors. I guess i was my fault for answering this post when i am not geared enough to do so!

Will learn from this!

Please don´t get me wrong that has nothing to do with just hating on someone but I´m working with custom water cooling for more then 10 years already, and build not only PCs for myself but for clients, that want aesthetics and brutal performance. I think it is safe to say I´m geared to give the right answers when it comes to custom watercooling . For sure I don´t know everything (who actually does? ) but trust me I tried a lot and fried a lot lol.
