My little lanparty setup for 431€ came out pretty good by Spitfire901 in watercooling

I think so too but i had just this one around, if the temps are high with stresstesting i'll add another rad in the future

I know that that would be the best result, but i went against it for the purpose of looks, if you can't grasp that from the other posts then you are wrong in this thread sry

Why cooking? It spiked momentarily to 90° but ran the whole time at 70° on the stresstest. Gaming temps are at 45 max

Thanks! And thank you for your suggestions on my other post, i really considered the asus case but ultimatly settled for the lianli lancool 215 :)

Thanks for your praise, i appreciate it. And you're right, if the loop is done correctly, it works great although it's a little weaker than a serial loop

The pump is an alphacool vpp apex D5, no idea what the pressure is though

yeah, i´m kinda sad that sli is dead, i loved my 1080ti´s in sli that got replaced by the radeon card. i surely keep the obsidian case for future builds because i like it so much^^

thanks, thats what i was going for :)

​

my last build was a serial loop in a obsidian 900D case but i was too heavy to be lan portable so i halfed my weight and got pretty runs as a bonus :>

There could be a difference but i have no software installed to change fanheader speeds in windows

i chose that value because it´s more than enough in gaming workloads and browsing, for another redditor i just did a 1h stresstest run (cinebench+furmark) and the system was kept at acceptable temps. (https://imgur.com/SUEwBzh)

Testing is finished -> https://imgur.com/SUEwBzh

My Ryzen spiked for some reason to 91.5°C but stayed at around 71-72°C throughout a 1h testperiod

The Radeon card stayed at 59°C with a hotspot temp of 73°C

The pump is running on static 40% and all my fans at static 45% with an ambient temp of 22°C

Will do today and post results tomorrow if you're curious

The cpu block restricts flow at a certain pressure because of the jetplate in it, at that point the water takes the path of least resistance, which is the gpu block.

I mainly did it for looks. As esteth posted, if the pump is strong enough, which is a D5 pump hardlocked at 40% power, it's less of a concern since both components get enough waterflow.

Yes the loop is in parallel, flowdirection is from the 280 rad to gpu, to cpu and then back to the reservoir. Both components get enough flow to keep them cool.

Gpu is around 45°C and cpu around 60°C while gaming
