WC DP PC:Six months later....
 
After six months of planning, purchasing and tweaking my system is online. Not completely done (is anyone's modding ever? ;)) but it's good enough for me to use as my main machine.

Hardest part was sourcing the correctly sized Speedfits, which have been used throughout because of their near leak-proof reputation and for consistency's sake.

I intially tried getting a pair of cascades, but without drilling into the block itself there was little way to fit it.

Swiftech it's been so far and using 25% coolant I've had no corrosion, however there has been a slight clouding of the tubes with time.

Any comments welcome.

ok it looks to me like you have every wb inside in series going to big speed fittings. Why then are there the 3 way splitters before and after the pump? I'm confused :)

One to the rad, and one to the PC?

One of the 3 things is plugged.

Now i got confused, why do you splitt the feed to the rad, and PC, shouldn't everything be inn one big series loop?

Would think that you'll be loosing cooling "power" be letting just a halv the amount of water pass the rad?

no, no, nothing so interesting I'm afraid, especially with only one PC being watercooled there is arguably no need for so many parallel paths (Besides, can you imagine bleeding such a circuit? ;))

It's to my reservoir which has two 1/4" inputs and two 1/4" outputs. So I just used put both inputs and both outputs together as one, going to the pump. To do that I needed two splitters, and since there were only three way splitters I used those and blocked off the third outlet.

Well that made things very much clearer ;)

Here's the bayreservoir when I had it inside the PC. As you can see it has two thin tubes in and two out, with the splitters going to two thicker tubes.

It's still in series in the loop, it's just that the res has four holes in it for some reason.
