https://www.alphacool.com/shop/radi...os-xt45-full-copper-1260mm-supernova-radiator I've gone water cooling mad after buying a standard 360mm set. I just bought one of these monsters, I'm mounting it on a stand externally (After I build the stand) and using a PCI passthrough adaptor connect it to everything in the system. Does anyone have one and are you able to answer a few questions for me? When I build the vertical stand for it I'm going to have mounts on it to put the Res/pump, should I use dual pumps? Because ill be running everything through a 1260mm rad + a 240mm rad + a 360mm rad and videocard + cpu blocks Or should I keep one pump/res in the case so if I want to take my pc somewhere i can just utilise quick releases on the external tubes and connect them together so I can just remove the 1260 in seconds Ideas?
Hi there I running MO-ra3 360mm external radiator on my loop with 4*360mm radiators and I'm using 4*D5 pumps, previously I have run D5 with dual 18W DDC pumps and my flow rate has been in 125-150LPH and now flow rate is in 250-265LPH If you are planning to run such external radiator I would go with extra dual pumps at least because your flow rate will drop off like stone My recommendation is use pumps mounted inside the case with reservoir, in theory you can mount it externally and use external PSU just for powering pumps fans etc Yes QDC fittings I would use as well, I'm using my loop as well QDC Hope this helps Thanks, Jura
Wow!!! That MO-ra3 is ridiculous! Puts my new toy to shame. Dual or more pumps it is then. Any chance I could see a pic of how you've mounted your pump setup? I'm going to have major issues fitting much more in my case, I'm using a Cooler master NR600. How did you work out your flowrate? Do you have something like this? I was considering getting one after buying the giant rad https://www.amazon.com.au/Thermalta...ywords=thermaltake+flow&qid=1602340485&sr=8-1 Do you think the monster external rad is overkill?
Hi there I wouldn't say this Alphacool Supernova 1260mm radiator it will put your toy to shame, its pretty much comparable radiator My pumps are mounted in the pedestal in Caselabs M8 and I can try take a pictures of this there and where I would mount yours pumps in NR600, where PSU it is I would try mount them, dual pump top something like Aquacomputer Dual DDC and DDC pumps are quite space efficient, dual D5 pumps would be better choice but not sure how you can mount it in your case For flow rate calculation I'm using Aquacomputer High Flow USB, I have tried several flow rate sensors and Aquacomputer are most accurate https://shop.aquacomputer.de/product_info.php?products_id=3953&language=en Hope this helps Thanks, Jura
I forgot to say,I don't think external radiator is overkill,in my case it helps me with lower water delta and lower fan speeds,more radiator space you have better water delta usually it is and therefore you can run fan at much lower speeds,I'm running external radiator due same reasons,lower fan speed and lower water delta T Hope this helps there Thanks,Jura
