Recommended pump settings for an aquaduct 360 xt mark III

Freitag, 16. Oktober 2009, 13:34

Hi,

Could someone please let me know the recommended pump settings in aquasuite (4.66.00) for an aquaduct 360 xt mark III and also, what would be considered as a good flow rate when cooling a Core i7-920 @ 3.8 GHz and a GTX285 graphics card @ stock speed?

Looking under the Pump tab in aquasuite I would like to know how to use Automatick frequency settings and Minimum pump frequency. By default the Automatic frequency settings is unchecked giving me a flow value of approx 75l/h and the Minimum pump frequency is checked. Pump frequency in Hz and Minimum frequency in Hz are both set to 53 by default. What I noticed is if a check the Automatic frequency settings the pump frequency increases from the default 53 Hz to approx 75 Hz and the flow rate from approx 75l/h to 95l/h but I guess to get the best cooling you want the flow rate just right - not too fast so the water won't have the time to absorb the heat but still not too slow.

Would really appreciate some help on how to set this up in the best possible way.

Thanks in advance!

There is no wrong or right setting for the frequency. Normally we recommend to use the automatic mode. In this mode the pump determines the best (= highest with stable operation) frequency itself.

The minimum frequency settings is useful if you experience problems like a too low detected frequency. For example: you know that your aquaduct can run 75 Hz without any problems but the automatic mode detects a much lower frequency from time to time. With the minimum frequency option checked that won't happen because if the detected best frequency is below that value it will start again with the detection. Keep in mind that if your minimum frequency can't be reached, the pump will start over and over again to reach it which would be impossible in such a case.

Thanks for your prompt reply and explanation!

Since having it on automatic makes the aquaduct a bit noisy I think I'll stick with having that option unchecked since I also did a temp test which in fact showed me that having a flow rate of approx 75l/h gives better cooling performance in my situation over the automatic mode which results in a flow rate of approx 95l/h.

I belive I've asked this before but is there an English manual for the aquasuite I could download somewhere describing all different options in the software?

The is no English manual available for it. Also the German one is rather small and completly outdated :|

It has been my experience that the water temps don't vary much, if at all, whether you choose balls out flow or the silent setting. I usually adjust pump till it makes an annoying noise and then drop a few hertz.

Water temp diagram shows differences

Dienstag, 17. November 2009, 22:35

After selecting the FAN TAB setting of predefined profiles named "Watertemperaturregelung Grad 32" my diagram (Aquasuite 4.66) shows the temperature sensor at 23.4 C, water at 25.4 C and Pump electronics at 31.8 C. My inline temp. sensor is at the radiator outlet port which loops to the CPU water block. The pump inlet feeds from the CPU water block outlet port. I am not sure where the Water temperature graph values come from, but according to the pumps sensor and the inline temp. sensor I have a difference of 8.4 C. (at idle)

I'm still experimenting with settings since there is no English Help file and the German one doesn't seem to apply, probably because it is outdated as mentioned.

I am cooling an Intel i7 on an Asus P6T7 Supercomputer mainboard. The RealTemp shows the CPU at 36, 33, 35, 33 C which would be about 4 C above the pump electronics temp. readings.

These are just my observations. I recently ran the Prime95 test and my CPU stayed about 10 C cooler than when I didn't load the profile so I'm going to leave it this way for now.

BTW my home office temperature is 23 C at the moment.
