Hey does anyone have any idea on if it would be a good idea to use two Via 1300 in a single block (possibly double in the future) water cooling system?
I'd be using a heatercore, cpu block, homemade res, and possibly two via 1300 pumps.
Would the pumps give me decent performance since there would be twice as much pressure/flow? Like if I put a pump before and after the heatercore or something?
Would it give me more flow then an MCP600 or something similar?
 
You missed out the most important part - whats the cpu block?

The difference will probably be pretty small, though, to be honest.
 
that may be true, but he is using a pretty big rad....
maybe the high flowrates or high head pressure (dependeing on which his block prefers) could yield a benefit despite the added pump-watts, no?

PS

Green why dont U run that D4 with the Via?

assuming his rad has a C/W of .04

then water will be 4C warmer for every 100w

or 1.3C warmer for the 28w a via puts in

there's not a single waterblock in the in pH's graph that exhibits more than a 1C drop from 1GPM to 2GPM, which is my estimation of the flow difference you'd see.

hi ho hi ho

off to school we go, eh?

so in short, Sen_C....it's not worth the extra 28w unless the rad efficency goes way up
