Blackbeagle, I think I'm gonna go with the duplicate heater core rather than a single large radiator. I already have one large heater (BigMama), so the price would probably end up lower. One big question, even with dual loops, is the positioning. I am gonna update the waterblock (currently have an old Maze2), but either a Whitewater or RBX (not gonna hold my breath for finding or affording the cascade) benefit greatly from improved flow. Pump->Radiator->CPU would give the best temperature difference on the waterblock, but Radiator->Pump->CPU would give the better flow at the CPU level.
Any ideas? Remember this pump does around 1200gph, and creates a lot of heat.
The other big question, is, if I am doing multiple heater cores, how many. Is two total enough, or should I do 3. I am thinking now of making a huge box (big wood box with a hinged top, for the case, ie enough room for multiple heater cores).?
