well it may be different for custom cooling setups but i know from personal experience that evey month depending on how the outside temps were i would have to add more water or not. the hotter it was the more likely chance that i had to add. now if your system is seald to the point you dont have to add coolant good luck getting the cap off when it is time to add some.
cneuhauser1 is right. If you jack up the flow of the liquid, this means the liquid is spending less time cooling down in the radiator. If you jack up the flow without having considering the time the liquid spends in the radiator, you're just going to have warm liquid flow through you're system over and over again. If you really want to have a fast flowing liquid system, make sure you have a large radiator.
@MegaAznboii Do you know how much time it takes to meet ambient delta in a rad, regardless of ambient temperature? A little under 1 second. There isn't a pump on the market that can move an entire radiator's worth of liquid in 1 second. Thus; flow is king. The only caveat to that rule is if you're surpassing the thermal dispersion of your rad(s).
mhaneline, you sir need to stop telling people that higher flow automatically equals lower temps this is NOT TRUE. Thermodynamics is a very tricky discipline, so do your research before jacking up the water flow.
@cneuhauser1 If the total heat being dispersed by your rads is less than the total heat generated within the loop, how can you not say that speeding up the liquid in the loop (effectively cooling more liquid per second) will not reduce temperatures?
I have tested many loops in many configurations and I know that as long as you aren't exceeding thermal dispersion in your rads, increased flow = decreased temperature.
I am aware that an higher flow means a lower overall temperature in the loop. However, and I think you have to agree on this with me, is that when the temperatures monitored are so low you have no use for them you don't risk anything by dropping the speed of the pump.
This will lower the sound output of your loop without risking overheating, as long as you keep an eye on your peak temperature.
I do agree that the reservoir is not made for performance, but it does the trick very well..
this is nice but a bit pricey. there are to things i don't like about this item. 1 the fill port is in a bad spot and comes with nothing to redirect it to another location. and 2 it does not come with plugs or nozzles. the fill port needs to be in the window! or you will have to have a 5.1/2 bay cover ether modded or easy to remove to access the fill port.
@clamo636 a lot of 5.5 bay reservoirs have the fill port on top. Filling a loop system isn't a big issue. If your system is sealed correctly, you should be only refilling it every year or 2
Doesn't produce air bubbles in the system if you let it run on a lower speed for a minute or so. After that the air is so high you can run it at full speed without getting air in the system. Also, if you put the speed of the pump down, you won't hear it sloshing around.
@Sundown19870 No, sir. Don't advise people to decrease the "speed of the pump". Flow is king in water cooling. The more water you're running through your radiator, the cooler your overall temps are. Flow is actually more important than radiator surface area. A 30% increase in flow will allow you to reduce fanspeeds by up to 70% and obtain the same temperature liquid out of the radiator.
This reservoir is not made for performance. It's more for show, if you don't mind the sound. :)
@clamo636 No pumps sold for computers can generate that much head pressure. In fact, water cooling components have a lower maximum PSI than it would take to move water "too fast" for the radiator. Even pumps for ponds and fish tanks can't generate enough PSI to "out-flow" a radiator, because of the way 2-pass radiators are designed.
The water isn't just blasted from one end of the radiator to the other. The water is routed from one end, through a series of curves, and back to that same end.
@mhaneline right i know that. ive been looking at a lot them. and not all RAD's are made the same way ether. ive seen some that only have chambers in stead of tubes to pass water thrue. and yes they don't work as good. but the point is you don't need a Hi flow pump in your system to keep temps down. i can see using 1 if you have cpu, 3-4 graphics cards, motherboard, ram your RAD's and anything else water cooled but not for a simple setup with 3way sli and a cpu and maybe 1 RAD.
@clamo636 Every modern rad is made the exact same way. Heater-core rads aren't being made any more for PC liquid cooling. The only differentiation in modern rads is fin density, and overall rad thickness.
You can get the very best pump for pc water cooling for $65. There's no reason to buy some shitty ass pump when you can get the best one for that price. A slower pump is only going to keep your delta temps higher. The more flow, the more water is being cooled per second = lower overall delta
If you place the line that pumps back into the system to the far left, the one right next to the inlet, you wont get any bubbles tin the loop. In addition, you need to slow down your pump if it flows this fast. You don't need it unless you are practically frying your processor or videocard.
@rockatanius lol, you're a noob... it's not a propeller, it's a flow indicator/impeller.. Nothing drives it except for the water flowing through it. Really it's only for aesthetics, nothing else, as if you can't tell water is flowing through there hehe.. but looks cool!

@mhaneline well if that was the case then how come when I added a RAD to my loop my temps droped by almost 50%?

@clamo636 Because you surpassed the thermal discharge of your first radiator.

@mhaneline yes that may to true but i do know that if the water flows way to fast the RAD cant posibly cool the water properly.

If you place the line that pumps back into the system to the far left, the one right next to the inlet, you wont get any bubbles tin the loop. In addition, you need to slow down your pump if it flows this fast. You don't need it unless you are practically frying your processor or videocard.
