Hey,
Just ordered the essential parts of my new build. Now starting the definitive planning of my custom water loop. The component in my loop will be: EK Monoblock on an Asus Maximus VII Impact with an Intel 4790, EK Supremacy EVO on an Asus Rampage V Extreme with an Intel 5960 (or EK Monoblock, when released), 3x EVGA 980 Hydro copper (when released), 2x Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 240 and 2x Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360. I was planning to use an Aquastream XT as a Pump and an Aquaero 6 to control everything.
Got a ton of question, hopping for some useful answers:
- Was planning for 2 pumps, primarily because of redundancy? Or is a second pump advised with my loop? How would I place two pumps in my loop? In series one directly behind the other or should I put the second pump somewhere in the middle of my loop?
- Will the radiator space suffice or do I need more?
- Can I run both Pumps with one Aquaero 6? Also want to connect a flow-meter, watertemperturesensors, an Aqualis XT with waterlevelmeter and the still to be released lighting control part Shoggy hinted to in this
thread.
- What kind of flowmeters and watertemperaturemeters can I connect to the Aquaero and/or Aquastream?
- Planning on using Corsair SP fans, should I get them with or without PWM-control?
Any other advice will also be genuinely welcomed
Thanks sPˊ!ˋKe
