Second res in loop/Pump Question

Thread Starter 
Hi all,
I have been making so many threads over the past few days, feel like I am spamming a bit but don't want to make mistakes with my next upgrade.
2 quick questions. smile.gif

First will be XSPC res/pump combo from the 240 rasa kit (XSPC 750 Pump + Reservoir combo) be powerfull enough to run CPU + 420 + 240 + GPU + GPU + Extra Res?

Second, does it hurt to put a second res in the loop if the pump is strong enough?

Thanks in advance. smile.gif

I would personally go with 2 pumps
Second res would help your temps

More water = longer it takes for cpu to heat up under load
Faster water = faster heat distribution
Larger radiator = more heat dissipation/ cooler temperatures

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the Rasa kit instead of the newer and higher performance Raystorm kit?

As the site says, compared to the Rasa kit, you get:
-Pump Upgrade to the D5 (Alphacool VPP Single)
-CPU Block upgraded to the newer, better performing Raystorm
-Choice of tubing color
-Compression fittings instead of barbs

no, res offers real no restriction or gain.
id reccommend the DDC or D5 pump for that style of loop.
