Hey guys, putting together a new i7 build here and need some input. I want to run two loops, a loop for the CPU and Chipset with the triple rad and a loop for the two video cards with my existing double radiator.
I'm running a little low on cash now but would like to finish this build soon so this is what I've got so far.

Well you want a dual loop, a different version of that res has just been found that doesn't share a res here it is: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9542/ex-res-154/XSPC_Dual_525_Bay_-_DDC_Dual_Pump_Dual_Split_Reservoirs_w_Blue_LED_Li ght_-_Clear_DDCBAYTWO.html

If you are getting strapped for cash, the T3 will allow you to run parallel loops with 1 pump. In order to run parallel loops with the res you linked, or dual with the one I linked, you will need 2 DDC pumps.

Ooops, I meant to link to the dual pump and dual res that you linked. I knew the price didn't look right to me. Yes, I'm buying two pumps. I'll fix my link now. Thanks for the reply!

Out of curiosity... Where do you plan on putting each radiator? Are you going to put one in the bottom and one up top or are you going to try to fit both in the bottom?

Well for now I'm going to try to put both in the bottom. I have plans to build a bottom base for the case to sit on and I will mount both rads in the base but I was hoping to do that later then sooner.

Does anyone have any pictures of XSPC Dual 5.25" bay dual loop reservoir with the MCP355 pumps installed in the computer? Would like to see how it looks before I pull the trigger. I'm still contemplating whether I should put the pumps in the bottom of the case with the rads or do the bay res.
