Which connector do I need?

[Fudd Rucker]

Got almost everything rounded up to put my gpu on its own loop except one last fitting. I need some sort of adapter or fitting that will allow my resevoir to be intergrated into both loops as its a pretty damn big dual bay resvoir.

Can you post a link of the reservoir you are using ?

[Mavvens]

So your reservoir have one inlet and one outlet but you want to multiply your inlet and outlet? You want to double the inlet and outlet, right?

So in a way you have 2 loop but both contaminate themselves because they share the same liquid?

Why don't you do a single loop?
Or you do that for aesthetic... Who knows..


Like said above, a picture say it all!

I would definitely suggest a single loop over a parallel loop using a shared reservoir.

yup me too since i think your getting the water loop from "browster" that pump will easily handle it and more.

I wanted a dual loop setup to get temps that ive yet to get . Ive spent an arm and a leg on my loop so far to get what I consider dismal results. I figured 2 loops just sharing the fluid would finally get me the temps im looking for.

Current gear - dont have a pic as when I get my new set of gear im gonna have to spend a weekend thinking it over to get what I want.

2 x MCP655
Danger Den Dual 5.25 resevoir (pic below)


EK Nickel block
EK Acryllic block and GTZ block (not sure which im going to use)
XSPC 360 + MCR220
3 x Ultra Kaze 38mm (still need more effin screws)
2 x scythe 1600rpm fans
A whole mess of compression fittings (still need a few more)

Dual loops will not improve temperatures. A single loop with the pumps in series would be your best bet.

[gingerbee]

wow what are your temps cause even with the old stuff you should be getting pretty good temps. i never seen anything over 70c with a mcr320 and a 355 pump and that was with @4.4ghz with a 4870 in the same loop. is your ambient just to high?? what is your ambient??. the gtz has a bracket on it that fits 1156/1366 so you don't have to change it just to let you know. please post pics and temps of dual loop when you get it setup ( i have never run a dual loop before )

[Fudd Rucker]

Machine is off currently awaiting for 970 to come in.

Temps were in the high 70s for my cpu @ 3.90ghz (my chip was capable of a whole lot more) but heat was a detterent. I just wanted seperate loops in hope that one component wouldnt affect the other too much. And adding an additional 2 cores/4 threads would just make the problem a whole lot worse as well a 2nd 480 and a physx card that i plan on adding as well mighty soon.

[Fudd Rucker]

Well since a dual loop off 1 resevoir doesnt seem to be a popular concept here ive come up with a concept for a big ass single loop. Im not sure if things will get messed up or not, and im hoping I can just add my gpus later on without much incident.

Here is the order my loop will run it.

Pump 1 -> GPU Block -> Rad 1 -> Pump 1 -> CPU -> Rad 2 - Resevoir

The parts in this loop will be:

XSPC 360
MCR240 , may swap it out for an XSPC 240
2 x MCP655s
EK Nickel 480 full coverage
Not sure on block as I have a GTZ , EK Acryllic , or Dtek Fusion V1.

Look good?
