Another can this pump handle this thread...

[pwnt by pat]

Simple enough:
Hydor l30
2x 120mm rads in parallel (I'm thinking two ThermoChill HE120.1s or any others if I can find them about 60 bucks)
dangerden z-chip with internal restrictions cut out
swiftec waterblock (the one with the 226 tec)
swiftec gpublock (another tec)
the 6x6" fin area heter core (chevelle I think but I'm not 100%)

It would be set up like this:

pump -> cpu block -> 2x120mm parallel rads->gpu block -> northbridge -> heatercore -> possibly a bay res or back to the pump (the t-line would be right before the heater core).

I planed it out this way for space reasons but if it had to I guess it could be changed around. Mainly I wanted to know if the Hydor could handle all of that or if I need to toss my Via Aqua into the mix and run two circuts. Also, if I had to run two circuits, would the two 120's be more efficient than the heater core for the cpu tec (space reasons again).

Holy! you're gonna need more flow than a L30 to cool that, in my opinion!

Furthermore, the GPU block will get the coldest water... :( try putting all the rads right before the CPU WB.

I was concerned about the one tec right before the second adding to the loop but I could do pump-rads-cpu-heatercore-etc. and I figured that the water temp would be about the same after it passed through the heater core as through the two 120 rads. Trying to fit all this into even the lite-on fs020(I think that's right) is going to be a struggle either way. Anyway, it was either going dual-tecs or mobo submersion with a ac unit or dehumidifier. Tecs have been winning out since I took a look at a dehumidifier. Both plans cost the same, I already have the nb block, I'm planning on selling my ww and maze4 gpu block, this is just a little more sane. I'll just have to put that via to work on a second loop and shrink the 3" shroud I had on the core down about half or so.

What about this?

bigger pump-->bigger rad--->CPU WB--->bigger pump

smaller pump--->smaller rad--->GPU WB-->NB WB---smaller pump


Problems?

The temperature change across the cpu won't be that great. He would be better off putting the components in whatever order uses the least amount of tubing.

Run dual loops.

cpu loop: cpu->parallel 120.1->via aqua

other loop: gpu->nb->l30->heatercore

Or whichever ever way it's easiest to set up the loops using those components.

Well, if he can fit the radiators near each other, that would be a lot better.
