jpetrach Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ok so through my obsession I am down to just using the h100i pump. I am trying a heater core to improve heat dissipation, still using the clear 9mm tube, I have a pump and res coming to see If through more circulation=lower temps. all because the case I am using is very compact. the case does not get hot but the rad does. the heater core im using is a aluminum 7.5/7.5/2 in. I have some time tonight ill see if I can get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpetrach Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I ended up going with a larger diameter tubing 1/2" for the fittings on the rad and res. I know the pics are not the greatest. I also removed the cover to the corsair fan controller and covered it with electric tape to prevent any issues. I cut the rad into the bottom of the case to save space and remove heat. Here you can see the server fan(AKA jet engine) I put in the bottom. I have the air exhaust from the bottom of the case. And here are the temps. I also have a home build GPU cooling block sorry no pics of that. sorry good. the temps shown are with Intel burn in and fur mark GPU running at the same time with an ambient temp of 21C. The loop runs as follows reservoir> CPU/PUMP>radiator>GPU>Reservoir. both inlet and out let are submerged this is important if the res is lower then your pump to prevent it starting dry.

fliersrr Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Tube ID is 6mm. Standard 6-ID\8-OD tube works a treat. I've done the clear-tube mod and added a reservoir. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
