Will my mcp355 be able to handle this?

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
I am currently running three koolance 7970 water blocks and an xspc raystorm with an alphacool ut60 420 and monsta 240. I have a phoyba 1080 on the way that I plan to run a few feet away from my pc. I think that my flow rates are doable now. I'm not so sure about after adding the rad and extra tubing. Going my Martin's calculator that should stay over 1gpm, I still have my doubts. What do you guys think.

Also has anyone done a good test on series versus parallel on tri-fire or tri-sli on high restriction loops with a single pump? I'm debating just trying it out to see what happens.

itll "work", but ideally the 35x would be a better choice for the addional footage in
remote radiator installation. an addional 6ft (3ft + 3ft) would be the limit or watch
the pump temp on the 355. bay res or pump top?

Its the XSPC res top. According to Martin's excel calc the extra footage shouldn't make that much of a difference. I'm probably going to have to add an extra 8 feet of tubing or so possibly with 45 degree barbs.

It does sound like a lot for a 355 though.

it'll go, but i think it'd be on the edge with extra 1080 (another
4ft in rad) and 8ftin hose. total 12ft..

Consider adding a DDC Top w/ a bmaverick DDC pump for a combined total of $60 or so.

When I added an external setup to the loop I went with a dual ddc top w/ 2 bmavericks

LL

Only set me back $110 shipped and I won't have any flow problems ever.

I don't want to use two different pumps in series. It may help for a while but the 355 is a considerably more powerful pump, it'll probably kill the 1t. Also those DDC 1t pumps are way too loud for my liking. I may add another 355 somewhere in the loop if it comes down to it but at that point might as well just go for a mcp 35x2 for a little more and be able to turn down the pump speed for silence.

That's a good plan.

Oh and the 35x2 is a winner.
