White Water/Multiple Block Question

doc_colton · 09-02-2003, 02:45 PM

If you are using a White Water with a GPU Waterblock (DangerDen Radeon WB) and a Hydor L30 pump/Dtek Heatercore, 1/2" I/D tubing, would it be better to run it in series, or in parallel? I'm thinking given the restrictive nature of the WhiteWater it might be better to run in parallel?

I would bet that the block would perform better in series. Your flow would probably be a bit slower, but you have more flow than if you went in paralel ( think divided by two). The L30 should have enouph head to keep you flow up if you go in series.

When you get the gear, just get a couple 5 gallon buckets, and some good water, and do some flow tests. Get a baseline: pump tubbing, res, and radiator. Then try your different setups and make a db. From there you can let the numbers decide.
