I'm wanting to to run the following in a single loop:

CPU Block Heat kicller Cu
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/heatkiller1366.html

NB and SB block: Koolance EVGA X58 classified
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9...hbridge_Block_No_Fittings.html?tl=g30c313s858

MOSFET block: Bitspower Black Freezer
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8..._Version_BP-WBPEI58DP2-BK.html?tl=g30c313s858

Radiator: Feser Triple 120 Xtreme
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/7...rformance_Radiator_-_Thermochill_Killers.html

The only problem I see with this setup is the restrictions of all the blocks. I'm trying to figure out which pump can overcome the head pressures so...

Questions:
1) I was thinking of using the XSPC Single pump/dual bay reservoir but not sure if a 350 would be able to run this loop effectively. So my next idea was to run a seperate reservoir with a MCP655.

2) is it possible to run the Dual pump/dual bay reservoir XSPC connected together in series to overcome the head pressure? Do they have any after market parts to make this work? I would like to stay away from all the 90 degree turn it could create.

Thanks for the help guys!!! It's been a few years since I've been to the forum and I see a bunch of new company names I'm not familiar with. The forum remains great as always though!

Hmm, Feser. You looked at the new XSPC RX rads? Or the Black Ice SR-1 series? Or the classic cheap Swiftech MCR 320?

MCP655 vario or non vario? You look at the DDC3.2 with a new top? Awesome output.

You need to run the exact same pump in a double pump loop. But don't think you need that. A solid DDC3.2 (or 3.25) with a good top (Restop FTW) is enuff.

Welcome back!

Thanks for the reply's! Well couple of changes...

After reading the reviews I'll go with the RX rad.
Also the I believe the Koolance motherboard block has the mosfet cooling already in place so no need for that additional mosfet block = less restriction.

So as of now I will run the following loop:
Dual XPC dual 355 acrylic top pumps-
CPU Block-
NB SB block-
Radiator-
Reservoir-

Now would I be crazy to throw in a block for my 295GTX on this loop? I might be able to squeeze in a dual 120 rad in the mix find. one loop would definitely make it easier and a little more compact but effective?
Thanks again for all the help!
