lncabin Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 can I co-op the radiator in my H150 for use in the Hydro-X loop? They look to be the same exact product but I just want to be sure. That way I can save some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infin1tum Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 there is no way you can screw your fittings into it unless you're a machinist and find a way to put a G1/4 thread into it. and even then it might be questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaiseP Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 They ain't... Don't forget the problem with mixed metals... the H150 radiator is aluminium which won't play nice with parts under the Hydro X banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Yeah, you just don't do this. The option to consider would be keeping the H150i and running the Hydro X loop for the GPU only. This keeps the lower watt 9900K in a separate coolant pool as the 300-330W 2080 ti. However, this may only be of benefit if your 9900K is right at its temperature limit where you need to worry. Typical coolant delta for 2x360 with those two components is going to be around +8-10C for mixed loads like gaming that stress both. If they were run as separates, you could probably keep the front intake H150i for the CPU at +4C while the warmer GPU coolant is handled through top exhaust. Potentially it's a savings of 4-5C on the CPU for mixed loads. It is not a benefit for single component heavy loads where the dual radiators allow more heat dissipation per pass. The major downside to this is two pumps, which could be irritating if you like to keep the room quiet for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
