Dual pump, dual radiator setup question

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
I sold my water cooled 6990 so I will have and extra pump and radiator at my disposal since I'm not going to WC my soon to be GTX680 for a few months.

Door number one? Door number two? Suggestions please?

Both would work but I think the effect of spreading out the two pumps would be small. I would go with the easiest to route and fit pumps in your case is.

You really don't need 2 pumps but if you really want to have them both, I'd buy a dual pump top and use that.

Go with #2 and run them in series. You will see a benefit and add redundancy at the same time.

For some reason I didn't even think of just getting the top for my two pumps, DOH!
Thanks for replying.

  • GingerJohn
  • The trick to flying is to fall and miss the ground
There will be little to no difference between the setups, go with whatever is easiest to plumb or fit in your case.

With that loop you won't need two pumps for flow rate, but they will give you redundancy. If they are D5 Varios you can turn them down quite a bit before you start to see an effect on temperatures - play around with them to find the best performance / silence balance for you.

If you had a highly restrictive loop, separating the pumps would make a difference, but you don't. The second pump is really just for redundancy here.
