2 loops or 1... hm...

[D_o_S]

Hi guys and gals,

I'm faced with a tough decision. I can either house 1 or two loops. The thing is, if I choose to go 2 loops, I need a pump that has an inlet and outlet at the top.

Basically, here are my options
1 loop only:
Laing D5 (don't want DDC due to high failure rate)
2x MCR 220
Apogee GT
Chipset Block
Apogee GT

2 loops (so that means 2x the stuff below)
Eheim (some variation or other) with AGB-O-Matic res attached
MCR 220
Apogee GT, chipset block

The other loop would have just the GPU.

I am cooling a QX6700, XBX2, 8800 Ultra.

What would you go for?

Thx.

stick with another d5 pump. dont get the submersible pump.
though i dont know why you'd need both inlet and outlet on top, maybe a picture or diagram to clarify...

The Eheim would not be submersible... it would just have a res that has a top inlet attached...

I can't get another D5, due to the fact that it wouldn't look good that way.

with that quad and an 8800, I'd reccomend going 2 loops... Both of those components put off quite a bit of heat. If you plan on OCing that proc, I'd think seperate loops would be neccesary

If you can, get a Thermochill and stick with 1 loop.

Dual loops ftw.
