Default Re: Are there any tuts on water cooling two GPUs? Loop help needed?

The temperature difference in a loop is less than 1*c. It doesn't work the way you are thinking. Don't look at at as the water "hearing up", but as the water "carrying the heat" from the blocks to the radiator.

Here are some test results from:

PA120.3 with 3x Panaflo M1A@7v
< = In, > = Out
Air<: 22.5 | 24.0 | 22.5 | 23.0 | 23.0 | 23.5 | 22.5 | 23.0 | 22.5 | 22.5

Avg Air <: 22.9
Avg Air >: 28.0
Avg Air Dt: 05.1
Avg Liq <: 30.8
Avg Liq >: 30.1

Avg Liq Dt: 00.7


The "best" loop configuration is:
Pump > Radiator > Blocks > Pump,
But any configuration that keeps the tubing lengths short is OK.

Perhaps this will help you also:
