Re: Question on a dual loop water cooling setup using XSPC dual pump Res. W/2X MCP355 pumps

Crazy V — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:50:12 GMT

Thanks for the advice, as for fitting it I've prefitted the triple rad in the top of the case and the quad rad mounts on the back piggy back with a koolance rad mount. the video cards will loop from the top to bottom and then back to top so as not to bother the bottom mounted psu, also allowing for less hose to the quad rad. The MCP355 pumps mount to the XSPC res in two bays. With everything in the case it fits real well with room to spare. Much better than the same basic setup in my Cosmo S type case, Minus the res and these pumps. 1/2 inch is what i was thinking but the pumps are at question. 1/2 hose fits well with plenty of room for the bends. I try to minimize the hose to as little as possible. Once again thanks. And if you could suggest some pumps as i was thinking of ordering two MCP655 pumps instead.

Question on a dual loop water cooling setup using XSPC dual pump Res. W/2X MCP355 pumps

FrozenCPU.com steered me toward a XSPC dual pump res. using 2X MCP355 pumps.

System Spec's:
AMD 955BE Phenom II
MSI 790FX-GD70 M/B
8GB 1600MHz Corsair
4X4890 XFX
Coolmaster ATCS 840

They also suggested:

1X ex-blc-569 EK Supreme Universal CPU Liquid Cooling Block - Acetal

4X ex-blc-599 EK Radeon HD4890 VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Acetal

As listed above the XSPC res. w/dual MCP355 pumps.

1X quad 120mm dual pass koolance rad. (for the 4x4890 XFX)

1X triple 120mm dual pass koolance rad (for the AMD 955BE)

Questions:

1. Will one of these pumps be able to keep up on the 4X EK 4890 blocks with a quad rad?

2. Same as question 1 but with a Ek cpu block on a triple rad?

3. And what size tubing should be used 3/8 or 1/2?

4. As i have already purchased the listed items, is this a safe setup? If not, i would like to try and save as many items as possible or just improve the current setup by adding to or revising this setup.

Any and all opinions or suggestions are welcome.

So far have had very bad luck with this build just in getting the parts. 3 cases later from FrozenCPU.com 2 have been damaged in preparation or shipping, awaiting 3rd. Missing items in newegg.com shipment due to over stuffed boxes and again rough shipping. So please help to save this build.

Thanks, Crazy V

Asus Triton 88 Core i7 Cooler Offers 6 Pipes

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 21:00:41 GMT

In our little spin around the block with the Core i7, we used the Thermalright Ultra-120 to keep thermals with our Core i7 Extreme 965 processor in check all the way up to a lofty 4.1GHz overclock. Asus just announced a chunk of aluminum and copper that might rival the Thermalright beast as well. Here's the skinny...

Taipei, Taiwan, December 23, 2008 – To keep up with the latest trends in processor technologies, ASUS has been constantly launching powerful CPU coolers to cater to the demands of gaming enthusiasts worldwide. However, one of the most eagerly-awaited would no doubt be the latest ASUS Triton 88 CPU cooler. This “fierce-looking” exterior of the Triton 88 comprises of an exclusive twin-pillared heatsink design, a 120mm inner-fan with a Diamond blue LED, and 6 copper heatpipes. With this ensemble of thermal features, it is able to deliver ultimate cooling performances for up to 180W and can support multiple applications—including the latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor (LGA1366).

Exclusive Twin-pillared Design and 120mm Inner-fan for 180W Overclocking Support
The Triton 88 utilizes an exclusive twin-pillared heatsink design that; when combined with the 120mm inner-fan, will help in lowering temperatures and create powerful air-cooled performance for extreme overclocking of up to 180W. Furthermore, with the fan positioned within the heatsink, VRM can be protected against high temperatures with the guiding of cool air to critical components near the CPU—ensuring system stability.

Massive Heat Dissipation Area of up to 8000cm2 for Optimal Cooling
To provide the best heat dissipation, the Triton 88 is also equipped with a massive heat dissipation area of up to 8000cm2; while 6 high conductive copper heatpipes and the 120mm LED fan provides maximum airflow and optimal cooling performance. This will ensure that enthusiasts worldwide will be able to enjoy overclocking of up to 180W without an inkling of concern. Furthermore, the Triton 88 is equipped with a PWM function that is able to automatically adjust the fan speed according to the CPU’s temperature—providing low acoustics during operation.
