Water cooling multiple CPUs on single WC setup

I just recently got into WC and have been extremely impressed with how quiet and cool it is. I got one of the D-tek Flowmaster XT kits with the White Water block and Eheim 1250 pump. My 2.4C @ 3.4 GHz is now running about 11C cooler than it did with an SLK-900 and TT SF II (at max speed).

I am now thinking about water cooling my wood computer case setup. Here is an old picture of what it looks like. It NOW has two 1700+ Tbred's @ 2.3 GHz each and a P4 2.4B @ 3.2 GHz. It also has 3 120mm fans on the door, and 3 TT SF II fans on the CPUs.



My question is would it be possible to cool all 3 CPUs with a single WC setup, meaning just 1 pump and 1-2 radiators? I assume that the best approach would be to put all 3 CPU blocks in series, and have 1-2 radiators (in parallel). I am not looking for the absolute best temps on the CPUs with a WC setup, although I do not want the temps to go up any.

Any suggestions or comments? TIA

WOW!

I think you would be better off selecting a pump with high head because of the vertical height. Pump selection will be very important, and perhaps get a very large heater core.

No problem! It is just as if you were cooling CPU, GPU and NB except the 3 CPU's will put out more heat. I would run 2 rads in parallel with a Mag 3 pump or a 1250.

I guess one of my concerns is that 3 WW blocks might be too restrictive compared to 1 CPU, 1 GPU, and 1 NB block. Any suggestions on a good but less restrictive block? Or would I be OK with 3 WW blocks in series?

I was definitely considering the Mag 3 pump, since it seems to have a much higher head pressure output. I think I understand most of the problems people have had with this pump.

(edit) The picture may be a little misleading. The door is only about 24 inches tall. I was thinking that I would put the pump and radiators either in the bottom area where the blue router is shown, or possibly put them in a separate external box.

I doubt the Eheim 1250 would be able to handle that kind of setup. I would go for the Mag 5/7 or an Iwaki.

96, I do not know anything about the Iwaki pumps. Do you have any links? Suggested models?

Iwakis are supposed to be really good, but I don't know any info on them. That's just from what I've heard.

If you do get a Danner pump, get the Mag 3, not the Mag 5. The Mag 3 has the same head, just a little less flow and a good bit less wattage. Eheim 1250 would work nicely too.

3 WW's will be fairly restrictive. You might be better off with some Spir@l blocks, TC-4's, or even Maze4's. Those should do fine, especially if you're not trying to go for extreme overclocking, or very low temps.

There's plenty of room in that wood case for a couple of radiators. You could probably put a couple of Chevette cores or even two Caprice cores in there.

a mag 3 would be fine for this set up
if you want a good low restriction block, you could go with the TC-4 or the Swifty block.
You'll want to go with atleast 2 heatercores, 3 would be nice.
that looks like a folding setup so thats a lot of load, not including the overclock, thats gonna be a lotta watts to cool.
if you decide to go with 3 heatercores and 3 WW blocks, you'll need a Mag 5 or 7.

Yeah, I don't see much use in WW's. More expensive, and a lot more restriction. If you did, it would take a Mag 7 or an equivalent, like Korndog said.

You can get scratch and dent TC-4's at Dtek - they're pretty inexpensive, and would work fine.

with that kind of room i think i would use two mag3's and two big heatercores
on on top, one on bottom (or sides)

I would go with a Mag3 and put swifty MCW500's on theose CPu's, if those are too much D-tek is having a sale on TC-4's for $25 a peice.

For the rads, I'd get two heatercores of whatever size you can fit and run them in parallel.
