As part of a new rig build or upgrading the current, I'm reviewing my system capacities.
I've noticed that some of these bay reservoir combo units either have single or dual pumps in series. My current system I would consider fairly restrictive (4 blocks: GPU, CPU, 2 mainboard blocks covering chipsets and power regulators, plus a 4x120mm radiator). My new system would be the same GPU waterblock, but a CPU monoblock covering the CPU and associated components.

Expensive, yes. I don't anticipate much of a temperature difference, but the additional flow rate can't hurt. I like the bay res concept to significantly clean up my tubing runs, too.
