It's a bit hard to see with the lighting but there are lots of little bubbles and a large one in the too right. Also, a 15 minute test isn't long enough to show the benefit of having those radiators as all exhaust. 70 Water Blocks; Radiators; Pumps / Reservoir; Fittings; Coolant; Distro Plate & Pump Kit; liquid cooling Kits; Tubing & Accessories; Air Cooling. As for the absolute temperature of your components, it has to do with the thermal resistance of the each component, for example when you replace the stock TIM and go with liquid metal, it drops your temps because you can transfer the heat much more efficiently (lower thermal resistance) but you haven't increased the surface area of your loop, etc. For testing you can just remove the side panel do allow air into the inner chamber. I fixed it by switching all radiator fans to exhaust. Joined Nov 10, 2002 Messages 3,371. the thing is you also dont have any issues right now you have gone from a good temp to a good temp and most people who start with a dual rad in your config will just never convert to a single one and notice any difference. I need some help regarding my most recent PC build. This is my first post. In my rig I am managing to have both rads expelling and fed with cold air as the 520 sits in the lower compartment isolated from the upper section and the 480 is in the top fed with cold air from 3 x front and 1 x rear case fans, managing slight positive pressure. Started 16 minutes ago I'm so stressed out. I'm limited to the 6 fans I have now. Just for testing. I think the typical low rpm and the efficiency of radiators make it difficult to exhaust the heat that just simply re-heats your components in the case. This should increase performance as the server will be able to accept Think back to the good old days when you were a little kid and your mum used to hug you with a soft, cosy towel whilst stepping out of your bath. This technique allows that water flows down on the one side, and then passes across the bottom chamber before circulating back to the other side of the radiator. Then 1 140mm as exhaust at the back and another 120mm at the bottom as exhaust. Started 25 minutes ago During this test the water temperature reached 25.5C: This morning I ran the test again with no dust filters and the fans all exhausting air at a room temperature of about 16.8C. I haven't had a champion radiator yet in any of my Fieros or kit cars but have had overheating issues in past on hot days or a/c on. Pump placement - Dual Radiator setup. Hi everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right place. NightBlaze I currently have no exhaust fans, though I feel a good stream of air coming out the back. The GPU temps are up a few degrees from before as well. Add a radiator and a reservoir to my current setup of a 140mm AIO. A dual fuel radiator is connected to both your central heating system and your electrics with the addition of an electrical heating element and a T-piece. Dual Radiator and Condenser Fan Assembly - Pacific Best Inc For/Fit GM3115212 05-09 Chevrolet Silverado Avalanche Cadillac Escalade 4.5 out of 5 stars 21 $139.70 $ 139 . When a bubble moves out from somewhere in the loop it absolutely flies through the system if that's any indicator of flow. Try all rads as exhaust and add 3 fans in the bottom for intake. Either way the temps are still good enough to overclock further so I'll see how I go with that. I think this is why really thick radiators don't do as great for their surface area, compared to a longer thinner radiator. Idk maybe I'm taking to much but I know you can move a ton of heat with a medium sized rad. Then you need a dual fuel radiator! I need some help regarding my most recent PC build. But it’s done now and the system is just bleeding the air out overnight now. As the air hits the channels and fins it is warmed up as it flows through the radiator. I had another look at your results ... first of all, water temps shouldn't have any delta on a 15 minute test, as everyone says, the loop "soaks up" the heat slowly and as others have mentioned, you did the right thing by going on exhaust on both rads, it will show significant improvements on a long lasting load such as a 4/5 hour gaming session or editing large video files that may take 1/2 hours. I should have much better cooling performance now that I have far more total radiator surface area and thickness. The first option introduces complexity, space considerations, failure points and expense to the system. A big rad as intake will heat up the interoir of ur case, re-circulating that hot air through your other large rad. Upgraded Watercooling Loop to a Dual Radiator Setup, but temps are now hotter? I mentioned that I did stress tests in 3DMark in my original post. I also set up my SO's PC like this with dual intake rads and am afraid I did it incorrectly at this point. Triple Radiator (360mm) Dual Radiator (240mm) Dual Radiator (280mm) Single Radiator (120mm) Custom Liquid Cooling. kucharczykt Recent builds:  Meshify C (Zero Tolerance!)
