Hey,

I'm new to this stuff... Can anybody see a problem with running a 2M loop between the CPU and the Pump and Rad etc?

Cheers,

Hi,

I so far have bought a airplex evo 360. I want the system to be as quite as poss so what other bits are good e.g pump and res?

I was planning to have the PC on one side of my AV stack and the cooling box on the other so this will mean that I will have to have 2 tubes from the CPU block to the cooling tower that will hold all the watercooling gubbins... so the loop could be up 2 4M total with 2M run either way to the RAD and pump.

Does alot of tube cause issues would a bigger diameter tube help?

The PC is a media center, DVR, lighting control server! lol So it needs to be on 24/7 without keeping people awake!!

Cheers,

Ray

i think the aquastream 12V Pumpe Rev. 3.5 is by far enough (i think its just a modded eheim 1046). Though the other smaller pumps should be ok but i havn't tested them. I have a eheim 1048 and the loop is about 15m i thinkkk and its works fine

no the 1048 plugs straight into the mains. the aquastream is the only pump with a control board as it is designed to be run off 12v (ie inside your pc!).

hope this helps

Ohh right,

So how do how do you lot switch the power for the pump other that pulling the mains?

I guess it wouldn't hurt to leave it running even if the machine is not on.. (Avoids girlfriends destroying the machine!)

I quite often leave my machine on standby is the CPU still running?

Thanks the answers so far!!

I use a "Master-Slave" outlet-strip, so when I switch the PC on, the Pump (and Monitor and speakers) are turned on automatically.
