dual loop

[kms]

after dual loop pointers please ? do you have a rad in both loops or will that be counter productive ?

TIA

[Player0]

Nope...all the radiators should be in the hot water loop. The cold water loop should be as insulated from the environment as possible, to help get temps lower.

The most important part of the dual-loop is the chiller blocks. The bigger the better. Mine weigh...well, alot :)

[dicki]

yeah think about temperature gradients, if the water in the rad is below ambient it will be warmed up in the radiator

[kms]

hmmm i'm confused hence the question, if the chiller loop takes water well below ambient as is desired then hot /cpu loop rads arent needed ? that right ?

[NorthernYankee]

Rads are needed on the hot loop to cool water down, They are not needed oin the Cold CPU loop cause they would warm the water up which would be counterproductive.

right so my existing setup is pump > block > rad > pump, now i've been toying with the idea of

a) a pelt water chiller cos i got my hand on a 65A 24V (adjusts down to 17.5V, current unkown @17.5V but should be higher still, i=v^2/r)

b) a beer fridge chiller with beer ;) :D :) http://overclockers.com/tips798/

OR

c) tongiht i got given 2 inline beer chillers to chill beer from barrel to hand pump, about 1.5 a desktop pc size both.

So whats the best way to dual loop with existing setup or will a beer chiller alone do with no rad in a single loop ?

i = v / r ...last I checked :)

Compressor coolers are more powerful, but i may be very willing to take that power supply off your hands.

ya damn right, read i =w and you'll see where my brain had gone ac/dc blah, getting the beer chillers involved beer comsumption :D. P0 if your prepared to arrange shipping / pickup you can have the psu, its not big just v.heavy & loud (240 fan easy modded though), i'm going down the inline chiller route now :) Even at international postage charges its an absolute bargain!!!! price em up & you'll see

[Player0]

Oooh. Thats right...you folks are 240v. Hmm. Will this thing run on 120v? What are the dimensions anywho? Can you give me a model number or sumtin? I want to make sure it will work over here :)

Farnell Powermag A1500

hxwxd = 5x8x11"

Input
115v/230v
50-60Hz
32A/15A RMS max

Output
24V(adjustable) 65A

should be fine :)

[dicki]

i'll have it if P0 doesn't want it!

[Player0]

No! Its mine! I saw it first! ;)

KMS, you got mail.
