Mayhems Aurora & XSPC Dual 5.25" Reservoir Question

[GamerGirlAlice]

im trying to figure out if the Mayhems Aurora coolent will work in the XSPC Dual 5.25" Reservoir for One Laing D5 Single Loop. i know the horzontal one dosent but what about this vertical version???



Thanks in Advance, GamerGirlAlice

I imagine that the Aurora will collect in the bottom of the reservoir over time due to how the pumps inlet is configured.

In a normal setup the reservoir would feed in to the pump with the liquid entering the reservoir from any side without thought. But in this reservoir the liquid entering is funnelled directly in to the pumps inlet so a lot of the reservoirs fluid I imagine would just swirl around and not go anywhere. Obviously this is just my opinion and thoughts on it. I'm not a liquid dynamics expert by any measure

I'm sure Mayhem will comment on this and give you a definitive answer.

Vicey is correct

nope that res is a fail. Its has a massive dead spot right in the middle of it.

 

[GamerGirlAlice]

what would be a good res to use? i prefer dual front bays since im trying to keep the 800d clean looking as posible

i feel dumb coolant pages show what works and what doesn't. i plan to get the ddc pump/tank kit from DazMod. i can mount pump down on tray in away to show off fluid from side window.

What happened to keeping the costs of your build down?

Surely watercooling (let alone using the aurora fluid as much as i love it) is more hastle and outlay of money than its worth for the gains of having watercooling.

A cpu+gpu loop will cost around the same as a higher end gpu and as your wanting more and more super excessive and expensive kit every thread i see you start it would make sense to not even think about watercooling untill you have a machine up and running on air first.

well i am constantly told with me so worried about the CPU over heating again, i should go water cooling. i admit it's not the cheapest but it is great cooling and can make a very quiet build. also its already going to take me a year to build so i should probably get the main parts and do it right. when i say main parts i mean, 64mm thick 360 rad, rad fans, reservoir, tubing, fittings, and maybe a remote fill port on top of the case. as for the coolant it is functional as well as cool looking. if i use clear tubing u can easily see the flow without a flow meter.

Edit: i forgot to mention in the morning my poorly insulated room peak's about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. ac is good, the house is cold every where but my room. the soon just beats down on my corner of the house and insulation just isn't very good. before someone says get better insulation it is a 1994 double wide mobile home and isn't easy to fix insulation on. if i could, i would get new windows as well as spray foam in the ceiling and walls.

The room my pc's are in is pretty much just as hot nearly 24 hours a day 98 days out of 100 at around the 87-93f mark from the heating for my snakes + 3 machines that are ALLWAYS on, In the middle of winter when its snowing it will sometimes drop to 80-83f over night if im lucky.

The server in my sig loads at around 55c with only 2x low rpm case fans.

A 2nd 2500k + 8800gt machine that folds when not in use, in a case with only 2x 800rpm fans and a STOCK cooler barely scratches 60c from time to time.

And the i7 970 in the machine in my sig dumps out more heat than most 1155 cpu's you will see (as 1155 is super cool unless you push it to silly high overclocks) yet still hovers around 65-67c at load with the d14 on fan reducers, the 3x fairly poor stock case fans and a 580 cooler that ALL of the hot air gets shoved straight into the case and sucked through the cpu cooler to the out take fans.

-When i had a 5870 the cpu was around 7-10c cooler at load.

The 2500k has been on 24/7 other than for rebooting for updates since it was built around a month ago, the server has been on 24/7 other than rebooting for updates since it was built in febuary 2011 and the i7 970 machine has been on 24/7 since febuary of this year other than for messing with overclocks and changing graphics cards around a few times and all are fine.

A previous core 2 duo i was running for just under 4 years up until i upgraded in febuary was sat at around 65c most days for alot of the day and runs just as well as it did the day i got it.

Basicaly aslong as you dont go super high on the overclock and get at least a reasonable cooler it will stay way within safe temps easy, keeping it at 40c under load wont make it last any longer than at 55c or 65c under load.

With you being worried about over heating i would say stay away from water cooling more so, if your pump dies you chip will get alot hotter alot faster than if a fan dies on an air cooler with 2x fans or even both fans happen to die or cut off at the same time.

The simplest solution would be is if 1155 boards still has the option it would be much easyer to just set it in the bios to shut down/warn you if the cpu hits say 70c or 80c.

im looking at xspc pump topper that daisy chains 3 ddc pumps together for redundancy. my old build may had something else wrong with it, im not sure. but im going to have builder assembly my system im just trying to find more of the universal parts for it like a reservoir that will work with the collant i want to use.

 

[mayhem]

Dont use Aurora for long term use this is all so stated on the site and on the bottles. use pastel / X1 or water + ecocide instead.

A dead pump of one of multiple in series will severely impede flow rate to the others, i cant say 100% how much it will slow flow but ive had 2x pond pumps in series to push water up hill for a water fall in the past and when one of the pumps died the flow dropped to a trickle, as soon as i took the dead pump out it and ran just the working one it was straight back to nearly a identical flow rate.

Adding more "stuff" doesn't make things safer.

Never a truer word spoken.
