The plan is to test the configuration (1/2" ID tubing and fittings, low restrictive blocks and 1 or 2 heatercores + reserator per loop) and check out, how much heat such a system can dissipate.
What I dont get is why people think the Reserator itself doesnt dissipate heat well...
The original setup has a small pump, small tubing, even gold-plated blocks that can sufficiently cool the CPU and GPU.
This setup will have a strong pump, 1/2" ID tubing and fittings, custom made copper waterblocks AND added heatercores (lying horizontally to maximize natural convection) to dissipate the heat....
I'm very confident that it will work well enough.
Can anyone tell me the exact inner diameter of the Reserator so I can make sure if the Hydor L30 pump fits?
Sandman: I nedd a reservoir to submerge my pumps. Why? For maximum eficiency of the pumps and to reduce noise and for easy filling/bleeding. And since I have a reservoir, why shouldnt it help cool the water, especially if its a passive system?
