New loops recommendations?

[tomslick.ca]

This is a decription of what I want to build. I would like some opinions on this
Any changes I should or could make?


Both loops will be mounted in an empty atx mid tower case with pleny of ventilation, since this is a seperate
case for the loop the quick disconnects are needed.
Power will be supplied by a 300w PSU,the fans are controlled by a Lamptron FC-2.
Distiled water will be running through Durelene PVC tubing 1/2"ID x 3/4"OD with kill coils to prevent algae.
No UV dyes. No LEDs, just nice hidden away funtional cooling. The only parts of the system that will be
visable are the tubing and the quick disconnects between the two cases.

The loops are as follows

Loop One (CPU I7 920)
1 HEATKILLER CPU Rev3.0 1366 LT
1 HEATKILLER Backplate 1366
1 XSPC RX360 - Triple 120mm high performance radiator
1 Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump
1 High-Density Polyethylene Single Bay Reservoir, 1/2" Barbs
3 Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan
6 EK High Flow Fittings G 1/4 to 1/2in. ID Barb
2 Threading Adapter, G 1/4" Male to G 3/8" Female
2 Nozzle Single, Panel Mount, G 1/4 Socket [For ID: 13mm (1/2")]
2 QDC (Extreme Flow) Shutoff Nozzle, Male [For ID: 13mm (1/2"); OD: 19mm (3/4")] koolance vl4
2 QDC (Extreme Flow) Shutoff Nozzle, Female Threaded G 3/8 koolance vl4

Loop Two (GPU GTX 285)
1 HEATKILLER GPU-X² GTX285 - Rev 2
1 XSPC RS240 BLACK - High Performance Copper Fin Radiator
1 Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump
1 High-Density Polyethylene Single Bay Reservoir, 1/2" Barbs
2 YATE LOON 120mm Case Fan - D12SH-12 - High Speed
8 EK High Flow Fittings G 1/4 to 1/2in. ID Barb
1 L-Bracket with Dual G 1/4 Socket Fittings
2 Threading Adapter, G 1/4" Male to G 3/8" Female
2 QDC (Extreme Flow) Shutoff Nozzle, Male [For ID: 13mm (1/2"); OD: 19mm (3/4")] koolance vl4
2 QDC (Extreme Flow) Shutoff Nozzle, Female Threaded G 3/8 koolance vl4
2 Nozzle Single, Panel Mount, G 1/4 Socket [For ID: 13mm (1/2")]

i would look at the Typhoon 3 for that. You can run the parallel loops, save the cost of the second pump, and probably get the same temps.

You really don't need a dual loop for a single GPU and CPU though. I'm guessing you are building this for a some expandability seeing it is being mounted all in an external case.

[tomslick.ca]

I looked at the T3 but with the QDCs on both loops I was worried about restriction, and the two pums and reservoirs is only about $30.00 more.
And yes I will be expanding in the future, full coverage on the board and a second GTX

[millertime359]

Restriction probably won't be a problem. I would try to get as of rads as you can into that case then. I also saw you have a RS240, did you mean a RX240? I would try to get the biggest rads you can into that case, seeing you are setting this up as a water keg, might as well build it to handle anything you throw at it. :up:

[tomslick.ca]

Yes that's a typo, it should be a RX240.

And yes 1 RX360 and 1 RX240 are the largest radiators I can fix in it the case is only 440mm long and 430 high

So do you really think a T3 would be adequate for the two loops with room to add on to it later?
That would save a few dollars and plumbing and time.

[millertime359]

Yea it would, Norris has it on I7 full board, and I though 3 GTX280s and same temps as he did with dual loops. It a nice product

Will looks like I'll give it a try.

and thank you for the advice.

it seems good, thanks

i will have a try too:D
