So, right now my loop is running two MCP-600s in line. I have recently acquired both an MCP-655 and a 655b. My plans were to use those, one for the cpu loop and one for the gpu loop, once I move water cooling into my desktop. (Im saving parts, including those pumps, an MCR220, and soon to have an ek FC4890 block w/ acrylic top.) While I collect parts, Im thinking about replacing the two 600s with the 655 till I get more of the parts for my case together. Will the 1 655 be better for my loop than the two 600s?
Current loop set up, parts listed in order of the loop
- Dual 3.5" bay res (dangerden)
- 2x MCP-600 pumps
- Swiftech Apogee GTZ
- 120x3 Black Ice Xtreme rad
- 1/2" Tubing, various lengths of Primoflex UV Blue
- 6x San ace 120x38mm 109R1212H1J031 fans in push pull.
Once I buy fittings and tubing, and get the 4890 block, then Ill probably go ahead and hook up the gpu loop on my bench rig. That loop will have the MCP-655b with the MCR220.
Thoughts on any and all of this would be great. I just dipped my toes in the coolant about 2 months ago or so, and I have yet to ask many questions. I pretty much picked up my initial set up from Hainer36, and quickly stepped up to the gtz and picked up the 38 mm fans. Leak tested my loop through all changes for 48 hours before hooking up. So far no real troubles. Really need to spend 10 or 20 bucks and get real mounting hardware.

My loop in various states. The last two are closest to current. Only different video cards I think.
Imageshack combined with our bb code hates me alot, so here is a gallery link
