Wow.. this is so fracking cool.. dual loops!

Currently I'm also on a dualie with a K8WE, so I'm especially keen to see how yours is carried out.

Is your chipset block slim enough to give enough room for your graphics card?

I still dont get the point of dual loops when one loop is plenty.

Looking good Schroedinger!

So you'd run 2 3/8" cpu blocks, 4 1/4" gpu/chipset blocks, a res, and two rads off a single pump? (not to mention I plan on adding a second gfx card to the cpu loop in the future, maybe I'll wait for a pair of G70's)

This is my first watercooling attempt and from my reading elsewhere a single loop didn't seem feasable.

Yes, those Koolance H06's provide plenty clearence for expansion cards in all slots, including the 32bit pci slot (Tho I'd have to remove the white plastic washers on the gpu block mounting screws for that).

One of these day's I'll get around to updating my blog on k8we.com with all the info needed to setup the chipset loop (I made some signicant mods to the blocks and board to get them to fit). Tho if you search my posts in the 2cpu forum you'll find all the info.

Why not? You have no redundancy in a dual loop system, which I imagine is the only advantage for two pumps (your hose length is not enough to affect the pump specifications...)?

I'll see if I can show you mine tomorrow

Once again Schroedinger looks great I gotta get my hands on some of those chipset blocks!

So you guys are saying 2 x CPU blocks, 2 x GFX blocks, 3 x chipset blocks and 2 x radiators on one 3/8" loop? I dunno, sounds like a flow killer to me, even with two pumps.

I've planned my WC'd K8WE in the same way, dual loop.

Would be interesting to see anyones rig which is setup with that many blocks and a couple of pumps on one loop and compare performance against a dual loop setup.

sweet rig mate!
