Got a question, trying to decide if this is an issue, or if I'm just hyperfixating. I have a custom loop with 2 420 rads, a 280 rad, and an alphacool 7900xtx block, and a alphacool cpu block and about 9 90° elbows. Have an Ek D5 pump, and a high flow next to track temps and flow. My fans are set pretty low, and pump ramps from 60 to 100% based on a coolant temp/component temp curve set up in aquasuite. My coolant never gets above 8 degrees over ambient. Both gpu and cpu barely break 70. I can max them out with OCCT and they only hit 74. So, performance-wise everything works beautifully. But. My pump flow, even if I manually max it in aquasuite is about .35 gallons per minute. Is it just restriction from multiple rads/blocks/elbows? Should I try a ddc pump? Dual D5s? Or just leave it be because the performance seems fine? Am I missing something.
