DUAL processor watercooling system ?

DUAL processor watercooling system ?

any place were i can read up on a DUAL watercooling setup ?

I have been kicking the idea around about a dual system
based on the tyan tiger 2460 ,
but what would be needed to water cool both procs ?

1. 2 - waterblocks
2. pretty sure i need 2 radiators. One for each waterblock.
i dont think Dangerdens cooling cube can cool well enough
2 waterblocks

3. its going to be an Open system ,
would i need 2 reservoirs ? and pumps or could i split the line coming from the pump to the 2 waterblocks ?
i dont have that much room for 2 reservoirs,
so i guess i would instead go with a closed system.

expect about a 1.4 @ 1.5 (maybe 1.6ghz) ghz cpu's
(i'd have to manually set the procs to 1.5ghz and the volts too)
The Tyan Tiger 2460 has Zero overclocking ability
built in

Also How Long would the Pencil trick last with watercooling ?
(NO pelts)


Thanks For all the Assistance

I have been thinking about this for a long time. The only conclusion I have been able to come up with is a server case and two completly separate cooling loops. The scarry part is I will probably want to do a dual pelt block for each CPU.

The pencil trick results in a resistor between the L1 bridges. If you are in this for the long haul, do yourself a favor and buy a conductive pen.

I would think that two seperate cooling systems would be optimal. But it could be done with three pumps and a resivour.

1 pump to circulate water through one very large bong.
1 pump for waterblock on CPU0
1 pump for waterblock on CPU1

I agree with Colin, two seperate radiator based systems seems the best route. And if were in the position of having two hot chipies, thats the route I would take.

I would approach it slightly differently. I would use a single pump that is powerful enough to circulate water through both blocks. There are a number to choose from.. but.. probably anything that is 500gph+.

If you decided to use 2 radiators (and there are people that don't use 2 for 2 waterblocks) then I wouldn't keep them on separate segments. I would circulate the water through 1 radiator then through the next radiator. That would maximize the amount of cooling that you get from your radiators. Also, that would allow you to add future waterblocks to your mobo/vid card, etc without much hassle.

So.. if it were me :

pump-->radiator1-->radiator2-->manifold-->waterblocks1&2-->manifold-->pump--etc

or split the hose when it come up to the waterblocks so they both get the same temp water, have them join back afterwards

[lordneo]

as expected , so many different ways to do this.
BUT , no real answer.
I think i would want to cut down on the cost of the system ,
not spend too much , nor would i want to have to knock out a wall
just for the room for 2 separate water solutions

the overclockers response was what i was planning ,
but my only fear is that i wont have enough water thru both blocks , after its split , but also , i would think this would be best
due to the fact that if it did work , i saved some cash , on the other hand if the result was poor, i could always add more to it.

i think to that i will have 2 radiators
so that each will cool the water ,

pump , -> radiator1 -> split , -> each waterblock ->rejoin -> radiator -> back to pump

thus any warm water from the submersiable pump will be dispersed with radiator 1 (along with any extra heat after the previous radiator)

All i see is flaws in those 2 links ,
Intel CPu's and much slower speeds ,
not even close , but did help , none the less , Thanks

Koolance Dual (http://www.overclockers.com/articles369/index09.asp)

You don't need anything fancy; the Koolance is a fairly low flow system and does fine. If you have a good pump, like the EHEIM 1046 or 1048, adding a second block is no sweat. You don't need a second radiator either.
