    HI,
    Cripes 1600w :)
    You have quite a system though
    How many pumps are you using ?

    Two pumps and two rads. One 4 fan rad and one 3 fan rad. One fan blowing on vrm area. So the power draw for those components is pretty negligible.

    The two Titans don't really haul in current like older gpu's. They only have a six pin and eight pin power plugins.

    The big honker is the chip. It can get up between 500 and 1000 watt draw depending upon clock.

    Hi,
    Thanks which pumps ?
    My ek D5's seems weak :/
    My Xp has 6-8 power too but it sure doesn't stop it from heating up with poor water flow :)
    Does an addition pump need a reservoir too or could just a top mount pump work one like this with just a inlet and outlet ?

    I have one of these...

    EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM – EK Webshop

    And one of these...

    Both have the D5 pump. Are your D5's variable speed? And yes you can always throw another pump in the loop if you think flow is an issue. You would not need another reservoir.

    Hi,
    Cool yeah I was thinking pump res combo/ rad/ rad/ pump like picture/ cpu/ gpu/ back to combo :)
    Not variable speed rpm wise it does go 4821 rpm but with 2 rads and 3 blocks still doesn't seem to move fast enough
    Rads are 240 black nemesis and a ek 240 slim
    I've got a ek 280 but couldn't make room for the black nemesis on top or didn't see it happening anyway :)

    Might have to do like Steve did and put it on top of the case and use the 280 on front again

    Can you not split it into two loops? That would alleviate any flow issues. And probably better temps all around.

    I recently changed my loops around to get the 4 fan rad on the chip. I get more heat from the cpu than both Titans. :)

    My loops are Reservoir to rad to blocks and back to reservoir. The coolest water should be what is coming from rad, so that goes to blocks first.

    It doesn't have to be pretty, but it does need to work.

    Hi,
    Hadn't thought of splitting it mostly because didn't want another res
    Have to think about that one a little :)
    Thought it just needed a boost after the two rads :/
    Thanks :)

    TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 6th, 2018 — ASUS today announced ProArt™ PA32UC, a 32-inch 4K UHD IPS professional monitor with Thunderbolt™ 3, a 100000000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio (ASCR) and a 178° viewing angle. ProArt PA32UC has an Ultra HD Premium™ certification, and it is capable of producing up to 1,000cd/m2 of brightness for an extremely lifelike HDR experience, as well as delivering a wide color gamut of 85% Rec. 2020, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 95% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB for high-end video editing,
    ProArt PA32UC also features advanced calibration technology that includes a 14-bit lookup table for color accuracy and 5 x 5 grid uniformity testing. Windows- and Mac OS-certified, every ProArt PA32UC is pre-calibrated to ensure color accuracy with a ∆E value below 2, providing an ideal performance for graphic designers, photographers, or anyone looking for high color accuracy.


    ProArt P32UC features a 32-inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) 138ppi panel for 4X-higher pixel density and up to 300% more onscreen space than other Full HD monitors of a similar size, delivering extraordinary clarity with the finest details. With a wide color gamut, the monitor exceeds industry standards by achieving 85% Rec. 2020, 99.5% Adobe RGB, 95% DCI-P3 and 100% sRGB.

    ASUS ProArt Calibration technology

    Whether on a desktop or laptop, PC or Mac, ASUS ProArt Calibration Technology offers color accuracy tuning and uniformity compensation to make things easy when it's time to recalibrate the display's brightness and color consistency. Users can choose from a variety of advanced setups to achieve optimum color accuracy; get 3 x 3 and 5 x 5 uniformity compensation matrices to ensure consistent brightness; and save all color parameter profiles on the monitor’s internal scaler integrated circuit chip. ASUS ProArt is also compatible with major hardware calibrators such as X-rite i1 Display Pro and Datacolor Spyder®5 series.
