Good evening, and hi all.
I am interested in buying a water chiller. I don't expect to put the chiller in the case of course but more or less next to it. So, not ridiculously loud is good.
I have a corsair 1000D case
AMD 9950x.
Gigabyte 5090 Aorus Extreme Waterblock edition.
2 x 480 mm Rads and 1 x 420mm rad.
1 x D5 Pump.
Does Alphacool supply a configurable (ie set the temperature or automatic control chiller?) I see one on the site but not sure if that would be the right choice in this case.
If so, what is? and would pump would I use with it?. I have an additional D5 pump that I haven't worked into the loop yet. But I would prefer to use an external secondary pump. Alternatively, if that would be overcool, an external pump as the, primary/sold pump. I am thinking that, I could deactivate the current D5 and keep it in the loop as backup for aesthetics as it is integrated with the reservoir if necessary. Though the best outcome, if it works, is to keep it active as well.
One of my concerns, is pressure from an external pump. The last thing I want to do is blow the joints and destroy the whole thing. Last time I reinstalled things I pressure tested it to 1.5/2 bars using a loop pressure tester. But I prefer to keep it as low as possible. Having said that, it could really do with a little more because of the 3 large radiators.
I don't want to chill the water to ridiculously low temps where condensation forms. But I would like to be able to set a temp and have it stay there. It takes a lot to raise the temperature of the water on this thing. But with the overclocking and long benching or game sessions in very demanding games, it does creep up a little. I think the highest I have seen on the GPU is 45 degrees. The liquid metal on the gpu does a good job of dumping the heat into the loop.
What I would really like is a complete parts list I would need to order. ie. What chiller, what pump and the fixings that would make it as easy as possible to install. I use G1/4.
I confess, I have no real use case exactly. I just like to build ridiculously elaborate loops for the fun of it and benchmarking. I just want the best I can come up with.
Would appreciate any suggestions concerning what considerations I should make, or better yet an Alphacool response. I have messed about with phase change cooling a very long time ago. But in this case, I want to put it on a PC I actually use for fun as a my primary gaming machine.
