New Loop, suggestions needed, change coming

[nugzo]

My new loop is Res->Pump->Pump->Rad->Cpu->Gpu. My GPU's Idle at 35-38C and my CPU at 40-45C. Ambient is 72-76F. GPU temps i am extremely happy with, 45-48C under Load. CPU temps could be better, load is 60C at 3900mhz 1.53v set in bios, 1.48v loaded. My Quad is even worse. 77-82c Loaded 3600mhz 1.5v. I have reseated both numerous times. I am using the bigger o-ring for the "bow"on my Apogee GTX, CPU's are not lapped. I'm looking for suggestions on re-arranging this loop. I Know 2 loops would be ideal, but no room for a second rad. I was planning on adding another res and changing pump order. I was thinking about trying Res->Pump->Rad->Cpu->Res->Pump->Gpu. I'm thinking that having a res before each pump might help some. What do you guys think? Here are some pics of what i have now. Hardware is TJ07, 8800ultras, EK FC 8800 blocks, PA120.3, 2 DDC-2's with petras tops, Apogee GTX, EK 250 Res. Here is my previous setup that got me about the same on the CPU's. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=144339

Whoa, with SLi and 1 Rad, you should be really happy with those temps :P.

I think adding a Rad in the middle, even a puny MCR220 or so, will be your best bet.

Adding a Reservoir will just create more of a flow restriction, I have no clue, how that would help temps :S.

That's a nice blue for your liquid. Not sure how you could rearrange your loop for better temps if you are not going to add another radiator. I do know that you can't have two reservoirs in one loop. Due to the different flow rates for each "pump section," one of the reservoirs would quickly overflow and the other would drain. Besides that, I don't think it would help your temps.

Just add a good rad (at the bottom or above the mainboard)...should be good for now ;)

Maybe i could add another rad at the top. Anybody have a TJ07 with a rad up top that could give me some suggestions on what rad fits and performs well? The main reason i changed cases and WC system was b/c of all the negative posts about the rad being at the top on my last set up. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=144339

Maybe i could just mount a rad on the right side panel. It is facing the wall and cant be seen anyway.

there is a few guys in this forum who manage to put 2 rad on the bottom of this case, you should check their worklog, might give you some idear :

nugzo if you did that would you use a push config as its next to a wall ??

Not that close to the wall, cooling shouldn't be an issue.

I am also considering a mountain mods case.
