enough pump for full loop.

[kyle_L]

the only info i have for my pump is that it is 22psi max (1.5 bar) is that enough for the cpu, 2 mosfets, nb, sb, videocard, 320rad and 2x 2 bay res's. just want to know if one will be enough or if i should have 2. and if i need 2 will a 120 rad be enough for a 4870x2.

If the pump is actually able to create 22psi of head pressure, that should be more than enough power for a watercooling loop. In fact, double-check all your clamps with that kind of pressure, and don't try pinching the hoses while it's running. What sort of pump is it? Even an Iwaki RD-30 only puts out about about 10psi.

On another note, using a second reservoir in your loop isn't going to benefit anything.

There's no reason it shouldn't be...
You're not making the water do any work, you're just recirculating it...the most work it has to do is the weight of the water has to be pushed from the lowest point in the case to the highest...

This is the pump I'm using, and it's 22psi too...

that pump (DCC liang ) uses 3/8 hose barb's also depends on block restriction for operating pressure

Yeah, system pressure isn't the same thing as head pressure. But if you're running a DDC pump, it'll do the trick for your loop.

the pump is a ddc-1 tp from corsair. and the second res is just for looks, i wanted more of a semetrical look to my build.
