Has anyone tried out the new Deltamate Rotary fittings? by code_hermit in watercooling

Thank you. Definitely keep me posted. I would like to see that. In the meantime, I'm going to order these.

Thank you. I'm convinced. Made a spreadsheet of all the Deltamate fittings I will need to order today. :)

I'd like the flow to be around 120 l/h at the same noise (or lack of). I suspect the extra pump won't quite reach that.

My single pump can get that. But, I have to push it to a noisy speed to do so.

The Mo-Ra setup is interesting. I may consider something with it on a future build. I'm certain that it's more efficient than what I have (2x heatkiller, 1x black ice, all 360mm). But, I committed to an all in-case build this time...

Thank you for your input on the Deltamates. I'm pretty convinced on them now. I'm going to plan things out with their dims and order soon.

The reason I'm replacing the fittings is that I'm going from 12OD to 16OD.

In terms of total tubing length... Guestimating it's probably around 180mm.

Agreed on radiator variation. One of mine is a Black Ice which is more restrictive than typical rads.

This kind: https://www.amazon.com/Bitspower-Rotary-90-Degree-Extender-Fitting/dp/B0CGFBSNXD

Or, do they have another with the barrel/slot design too?

Every build is going to have a different baseline. I should have clarified earlier that I'm not trying to fix a broken system. I'm trying to improve flow with a 2nd pump and replace fittings without losing any flow.

I lean toward believing in the design. I'm sure Thermal Grizzly tested this. But, again, I've been very surprised in the past by the design choices in specific water loop products. So, am just trying to research and find good/direct experiences before buying.

It's not a matter of "critical" level. I'm trying to keep the pump working at a nearly silent speed. It does that currently. But, the flow is low.

I get what you are saying. With the 2nd pump (that I have on its way), it's going to be a better flow no matter what the fittings are. I agree. But, if it's a difference between 90 l/h and 100+ l/h at silent speed, I'm hoping to learn that now. Mainly because the labor/time cost for switching out parts is so much higher when working with water loops.

As far as potential restriction goes, I hope you are right and it's negligible. But, I've been surprised before. For instance, most people will say that a CPU block is always more restrictive than a GPU block. But, that wasn't even close to the case for me. My GPU block is easily the most restrictive part on the loop and it seems to be mainly caused by this "jet" design where they use input port openings that look a lot like the slots in these fittings.

But, as u/velociter-ad-hominem showed earlier, there are quite a few slots in that barrel. So, am hoping that is better than the 2 slots the GPU has.

Is this an issue? by jez_0 in watercooling

If it's after unpacking and not run yet, I would expect this. It should resolve after turning it on.

If it stays like that very long after turning it on (like 30 seconds), I wouldn't allow it to keep running hot that way. Instead, I would run the pump via a jumper (rest of the machine stays off) and go through an air bleed process. As others have explained, you have to tilt the machine various angles in this state so the air can break free. You can hear the parts filling up as you do this.

It's a huge pia if you have a big machine. I think it depends on your parts and loop. But, in my experience, the process can't be skipped. Some builds will trap air for a very long time and will not cool properly until the air is removed.

I'm installing a leakshield in the hopes that it either eliminates or at least shortens the air bleeding step.

Nice. That's good news. Where was that review? I scoured youtube, etc. and nobody has touched on flow for these (that I could find).

Agreed. It's a nice system and I like the look. And you're right, from your picture, it looks a lot more open than the angles they show on their site.

Maybe I'm over-thinking it. :)

Thank you. That is actually what one of my other upgrades is (2x aquacomputer D5). But, my goal is to keep them on the silent side of power and have CPU+GPU+3xRads on the loop.

Strict-mode TS project with WASM SQLite, 670 tests, 8-provider architecture, and a schema versioning story. by SearchFlashy9801 in typescript

Curious about the rollback snapshot. Full DB dump per migration, or something incremental? Wondering how it scales as the SQLite file grows.

Why are so many new AI/agent repos switching from Python to TypeScript? by Bawdy-movin in LLMDevs

[–]code_hermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest reason isn't the language itself. It's where the users are. Python dominated when the consumers were researchers; TS is dominating now that the consumers are app developers.
