Water Cooling Question - 2 Loops
This is my first water cooling set up and I'm going high end parts with 2 loops.
Case: Lian Li V2000B+ Power Supply: Seasonic S12 600W Pumps 1: Swiftech MCP655 12V Pump Pumps 2: Swiftech MCP655 12V Pump Radiator 1:Thermochill PA160 Radiator 2: Thermochill PA120.2 CPU Block 1: Swiftech Storm CPU GPU Block 1: Swiftech MCW60 VGA GPU Block 2: Swiftech MCW60 VGA Chip Block: Swiftech MCW30 Chipset Reservior: Swiftech MCRES-MICRO Hi-Flo Tubing: Tygon 7/16" ID Proposed Set Up Loop 1: Pump > Rad > GPU > GPU > Res > Pump. Loop 2: Pump > Rad > CPU > Chip > Res > Pump. Pumps 2 off, 1 for each loop. Radiator 2 off , 1 for each loop. Note:I'm going with a reservior not "T" Line. My question is - Do I need seperate reserviors for each loop or can I just use a "Y" splitter/joiner and bring both loops into the one reservior then use a "Y" to bring them back out? Or is there perhaps a better way to do it. Thoughts/comments appreciated. Thanks |

Dont Y them together. Probably better to put it all in one big seris
Look for LHG he will know. |
Re: Water Cooling Question - 2 Loops
OK.... After more thinking and research and more thinking and research.... ahhhh..*sigh*.
'Parts same as original post'. My dilemma is further from original post: What would be a better option: A. One loop & One pump 1. Thermochill 120.3 rad to cool - Pump > Rad > CPU > Chip > GPU > GPU > Res > Pump. 2. Thermochill PA160 & PA120.2 to cool - Pump > PA160 (Rad) > GPU > GPU > 120.2 (Rad) > CPU > Chip > Res > Pump (not sure if one pump will be strong enough). B. One loop & Two pumps 3. Thermochill PA160 & PA120.2 to cool - Pump > PA160 (Rad) > GPU > GPU > Pump > PA120.2 (Rad) > CPU > Chip > Res > Pump. C. Two loops & Two pumps 4. Loop 1: Thermochill PA120.2 to cool - Pump > CPU > Res > Pump. ....Loop 2: Thermochill PA160 to cool - Pump > GPU > GPU > Chip > Res > Pump. All scenarios can fit into case with some modding. I'm just looking for the best performing set up. I'll be using Tricod fans to keep as quiet as possble. Suggestions/advise welcome. Thanks. |
