Dual reservoir for two loops

[RADCOM]

Can I use this to feed two loops and is that a good idea? Would I use it with G1/4 to 1/2" ID tubing? Cheers

You could, but I'm not sure you'd want to...

One thing I like best about multi loop setups is the possibility of more color :)

I can't imagine why that wouldn't work though.

You can certainly run two loops with that bay reservoir. One thing to be mindful of is the fact that there may well be a bit of sloshing in a single bay res feeding two loops. If you have the space you may want to think about going for a dual bay version.

By the way, make sure that wahtever bay res you settle on will play nice with that MCT stuff.

on top of that, you would be mixing the two loops. which can effect performance in both loops. one loop may be cooler then the other and now that the loops are mix one loop maybe heating up the other. its just safer to go with 2 reses or a res that is divided in to two

+1 :yepp:

If you run 2 loops off 1 res, you might as well just run 1 loop because temps will average out about the same.

Wouldnt there be some weird issue with uneven pressure drops between the two loops? Not that it it would that important, But would it have an effect?

This is more of a question then a statement, because I have no idea. :shrug:

What iv wanted to see for a long time is a res like that, but the the splitter extended down the middle fully separating it into 2 chambers for a real single res/dual-loop option :)

I think the heat would still transfer between the partition and average out the water temp.

I think the heat would still transfer between the partition and average out the water temp.

I think that change would be really small if they are seperated :)

Agreed :rolleyes:

i don't think acrylic will get hot enough for it to dissipate heat between 2-3 mm of acrylic into another loop, especially when water temps aren't that different.
I always thought it would be cool to have a triple 3 in one 5.25" bay.

Heat will always flow to reach equilibrium. The material separating the liquids will only change the time it takes.

I didn't think it would be so complicated:eek: I will have one loop PA120.2 for SLI 8800GTX and the other PA120.3 for CPU, Mosfets, NB and Southbridge. I suppose I could put a T-line on one.
