Hi, I'm looking for opinions about whether to use a single line feeding both CPU and GPU blocks, or to put a "Y" in the line and run them each from a seperate loop. Right now, I have a Thermaltake P500 pump pushing water through a 7" x 7" heater core, then it splits and runs one line to my CPU followed by the Northbridge, and a second line runs to my GPU then rejoins the first before entering the resevoir and returning to the pump. Waterblocks are my own mill work on the CPU and Northbridge, and a Danger Den 9800GTX/GTX+ full coverage block on the GPU. Tubing is 3/8" ID, coolant is plain distilled water. BFG Tech 680i SLI w/Core 2 duo E6600 @ 3.320Ghz/1.46v, XFX Geforce 9800GTX 512Mb @ 810Mhz/1910Mhz/1140Mhz & SPP is 1.45v. CPU and GPU temps are hovering around 43/44 degrees C under browsing/surfing load.
Thanks...look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
