  • Now that I have everything needed to put together a custom loop I decided to build it outside of a system as a proof of concept to learn how it works and of course I am taking you guys a long for the ride.

    You should also make sure that the block input of your the rad is higher then the pump side of the rad

    What software do you use to control the pump and the fans and monitor everything ?

    • @TechLabUK
      @TechLabUK  25 днів тому

      You can use what ever you want. I generally set things up on motherboard headers and set them through the Bios and monitor them through what ever software the motherboard manufacturer provides but I have used the application FanControl before which is really good and does everything.

    I hope I never own a pc hot enough to need liquid cooling! I'd be worried it'll leak. Looks cool though.

      Yeah, I have no real "need" for it. Just fun to play with, although my 12700k is a bit of a pig to keep cool so might install a custom loop on that. Will see how the tests go lol

    I have the same pump and it works fine when connected to itself and when I add a radiator, water flow is perfect. But the water will not flow through the gpu block at all, no water flow. Any thoughts? Have you seen this before?

    • @TechLabUK

      I don't know much about them but at a guess I would say either there is a blockage in the block or maybe a one way valve system so the pipes are the wrong way around.

    As a general rule for average water blocks, the port closer to the side is the outlet. The off centre port feeds the distribution plate.

    I need to cool two 12 core CPUs, each with a 135W TDP, on a dual socket motherboard. Not air-cooling the GPU, since it's a just an old Radeon HD 5450 so I can connect a display for management and troubleshooting. Should I go for a 360mm radiator?

    Haha the other commenters already pretty much covered it, yeah it looks cool and actually does have some benefits over air or AIO but IMO not enough of a benefit and too much risk for that small benefit of a few C lower. Got a new Arctic liquid freezer 420 AIO that I bought for 100$ sitting in the closet and I still prefer my NHD15 but using just a 9900k and it's only 240W max OC so the D15 is plenty.

    It's my first loop and I have doubts about the pump, I'll summarize, I have the Lian Li SL120 fans which, as some already know, are proprietary and the hub connects all the fans I use, so I connected the MOBO's normal connection to the RPM in SYS_FAN, and I connected the pump to the CPU_FAN instead of the AIO_PUMP, did I do that right? I tried to be as "clean" as possible in my explanation, thank you.

    • @TechLabUK
      @TechLabUK  9 місяців тому

      That will work fine and is how a lot of people do it as if you don't have anything plugged into the CPU_FAN header the bootup will complain (On most boards). Just setup that header the way you want it in the bios and away you go.

    Havent really seen much videos talk about this but how do you measure temps? Should we be referencing the water temperature? And if so, do we need any additional probes or do the pumps have sensors?

    • @TechLabUK
      @TechLabUK  9 місяців тому +1

      You would measure the temp of the components. I do believe you can get inline thermometers and one's built into the res/pumps if you want to monitor the water temp as well.

    If you do the air test, spray soapy water on your connections. If there's bubbles you have a leak at that connection!

    Do reservoirs and water blocks require a specific pipe diameter?

    • @TechLabUK
      @TechLabUK  7 місяців тому +1

      You can usually get the connector ends and pipe to match in size, the threads on the connectors for res, blocks, rads etc tend to be the same.
