WATERCOOLING: Just wanna get opinions to verify..

[Sazuzaki]

Just wanna get opinions to verify that no problems would come up with this set-up besides the pressure that the pump may face.


here's a rough plan for the watercooling loop that I have in mind.


I got a multi-in/out reservoir, pump is still under debate on which one I should use (probably gonna use a D5 pump)

So my main goal is to let CPU and GPU act like separate loops without using two pumps and reservoir to save space and money as well. and since I got a multi port reservoir I thought that may be I could use T splitter right after the pump, then it would push water thru two tubes one passing thru the CPU and another to the GPU each having they're own radiator. Temp wise, I believe it should perform just a tiny better against a traditional single loop, two blocks config but not much but I just like the fact that the liquid wouldn't be as warm while passing thru the 2nd block (whichever it may be) when using a traditional single loop.


Please tell me what you guys think, just wanna verify and another nice thing about this set-up, if I were to remove the GPU to upgrade, I can close out that part without much trouble and keep the CPU loop in tack.


or I may also get another pump making it two pumps/1 res configuration instead. that would cost me 80bucks more but would it be worth it?

When you split a loop like this if the two parts aren't the same resistance the grand majority of the water will flow through the easiest part only. Thus one side of your loop will have very little water flow and risks the components overheating. You can share a reservoir and pool of water but not the pump.

So dual pump 1 res set-up should work fine I guess.

I don't use a T splitter

Mine goes as follows
3 gpus in parallel then off to a monster 480 full copper rad then to CPU then to another 360 rad then off to res then too pump.
brightcandle is right about the resistance.
