Can the 'aquastream XT USB Ultra' handle this?

Sonntag, 3. Februar 2008, 19:59

I really want to try a low-flow system using the aquastream XT pump, but am not sure it can cope with the MORA-2 radiator. The system will ideally look like this:

AC Cuplex XT di - Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9650
Heatkiller GPU-X² 8800 - GF 8800 GTS
MO-RA 2 Pro
X38 chipset/VRM cooling - ASUS P5E3 AiLifestyle Series

It would be great if someone could say I'm wrong ;D.

you're wrong

The AS will handle the Radiator without any Problems.

lol 3 coolers an one rad???

the AS XT can handle rigs with up to 10 coolers and 2/3 rads

edit: hmm too late. Nore to myself: Don't go away to get a coffee befor pressing the "senden" Button

Thanks for the info hobbes & b0nez- I did ask for it :

The reason I ask is that:
We recommend the use of the small Eheim 1046 or the aquastream-pump. Larger pumps are only of advantage, if the hose length of the system is very long (>5m).

Apparently the MORA-2 ...has about 24 m copper tube,... The cooling -water flows three-way parallel by 60 tubing rows.
Would this not mean 24m/3 of tubing in the radiator alone?

Er, not wanting to sound completely stupid, but if my system ends with a couple of meters tubing plus 8m for the radiator, would this not be too much for the pump - according to the manufacturer (above link)?

btw: this is a manufacturers forum, so pleas don't post Links to products from other firms
apologies.

why don't you ask about the resistance (?) of that radiator at the manufacturers forum?

one hint: there is a member in our forum, who seems to have no problems using a aquastream and "some kind of big radiator"

I'd say that text is rather outdated and refers to the eheim 1048 / 1250 pumps (even though the Aquastream pump is listed on the same page...)

Thanks for the advice.

That definitely looks like a MORA. I could not read the post but am assuming it went ok. The manufacturers seem very coy about releasing data on the radiator - or else I can't find it (watercool site is much less english-friendly than here).

Reckon I'm gonna go with the aquastream - it looks like a great piece of engineering, and it would be great to prove some americans wrong wrt. lo-flow. ;D

Got a few other minor points to clear up - so I'II be back.
