Two-pass radiator ( inlet/outlet - mistake )

[FireFox]

Would it not depend on the radiator size?

Tbh never monitored inlet/outlet water temp before, so i am kinda lost.

I'm guessing a bigger rad would show a bigger drop in->out than a smaller one.

For me, i'd have one sensor at start of loop, say pump out, and other at return, say tank in.

Hi,
More interesting temp would be air temp in and out through the rad/s seeing water is more likely to equalize than the air will.

But you said that you didn't have any temp sensor

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Water wise you shouldn't see more than 2-3c difference so not very interesting
Air though can be upwards to 10c++ difference max oc'ing

I haven't. IF i did

Correct.
1-2c is what i see.
need to bleed the loop properly, there are still some air bubbles.

...and the flow rate.

High flow rate = small temperature differential.
Low flow rate = higher temperature differential.

If you're getting too hung up on temperature differentials at different points in your loop you probably need higher flow rates, period.
There's a marginal gain to having heat removed from the coolant earlier rather than later in your loop but that's only even relevant during intermittent-load, low-flow scenarios before your loop hits steady state. If you're worrying about temps in your loop you likely need more radiator, airflow over those radiators, or a higher pump speed.

I think mine is fine, i don't monitor water temps, my D5 pump on 3.5 is fine, and two rads is good.

yup. I only have a 140mm and 360slim radiator and that seems to handle my 300W of load even with the D5's setting on about 1.5 and with slow fans. I do have a fan curve that ramps the fans up to 1200rpm if needed but I've never heard the fans so I'm guessing nothing ever gets hot enough for it to be needed.

Hi,
Water temp I find very useful but I do only have one sensor for it and find that plenty.
Anything else and I'd rig up a air temp sensor on the exhaust of the rad to see how hot the air is getting passing through it.

Then 1/2c is ok?

Hi,
You're not giving any data on what clocks you're using
Could be good or could be shit lol

are you sure?
Need glasses to read my colorful Christmas signature

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Signatures are off on my end.
Screen shots are better anyway
You telling me you have all hwinfo64 readings on your signature lol

what do you exactly need?

Hi,
Seriously you don't know ?
Just a basic max/ min with clocks would be a good start doing a benchmark with cpu and gpu overclocking or gaming doesn't matter really.

1/2C is irrelevant.
What matters is your CPU/GPU temps. If they are good under load, what does it matter what your loop is doing?
The purpose of a water cooling loop is to keep your components cool. How they do it doesn't really matter as long as they're working.

I will report later after a few hours of Gaming

Hi,
That would be very enlightening
Monitor both your water temp sensors too guess you'll just have to post those start and end of gaming session min. max's

Hi,
Yep water temp difference isn't all that interesting
Air difference would be.

You could slow the pump down to about 3500 rpm and see what happens if the water has a little more time in the rad.

It won't change, i know it because i run my pump at 3200rpm, just today i increased the rpm to remove the air bubbles left.

Hi,
Yep
Depends on fan rpm to but all in all like I said earlier water equalizes air doesn't, air it takes away the heat so the difference will be a lot more and more interesting from room ambient and air exiting from the rad.

What do you want me to do know?
