two watercooling setups or one?

[rezo]

alright... i have a little question here... i am going to be ordering two maze2's, two coolingcubes, two pumps and two pelts from dangerden for a new dual amd system im gonna get...

my one question is: should i run it like this:

pump1 -> cpu 1 -> radiator1 -> pump2 -> cpu2 -> radiator2 -> resevoir

or like this:

pump -> cpu1 -> radiator1

and another loop

pump -> cpu2 -> radiator2

?

i will most likely have a resevoir in the first mentioned loop, but im not sure if i will run a closed loop or an open loop system if i have two loops for each processor...:confused:

Just use one watercooling setup and split the water with a Y joint so each CPU gets the same temp water.

having everything hooked together might save you if one of the pumps died. probably the best setup.

Go with a larger radiator with dual low cfm fan to decrease noise and possibly a third larger reservoir. I'd love to see how you get all that tubing in and out of the case.

I think you would get better results if you used one pelt to cool the cpu, and the second pelt to chill the water going to the pelt on the cpu
