View Full Version : Should I split the loop into two? (also and about mixed pumps 35X and 655)

I'm getting a couple of new pumps today to help the flow running (two 35Xs).
This means I will have my D5s available.
My reservoir has 4 slots (3 in/out and 1 in) which I can utilize.

My current loop is res->pumps (2xD5s dual bitspower top)->motherboard->cpu->motherboard->4 gpus->3 radiators (gtx360)->Res.

My gpu temps are very low considering. Load at 65c (with 1.175v), idle at 30c.
My CPU idles at 30c at 1.55v. but at load, it goes up to 75c.

So, should I change the loop, and put the CPU alone on a one of the GTX360 with the D5s and the GPUs on 2 radiators, or just one loop, and the new pumps will help lower the CPU load temps?

I'm also considering getting a 4th radiator like the RX360 for the CPU alone instead of using a GTX360 from the GPUs.
Yeah, I'm nuts :shakes:
Just finished the system a week ago, and already looking for upgrades.
WHEN WILL IT END????


Also another question:
How will a loop with both 655 pump and 35X react?

For example res->D5->cpu->rad->35X->gpus->rads->res.

Will it cause any issues?

What cpu do you have at 1.55v? What's your overclock at? Your volts are going to make that cpu hot. But really need your specs. What parts are you using?

Also with 4gpus, not sure which cards you are using- but I'd probably split into 2 loops: 2 triple rads for your gpus and use your 3rd rad for the cpu/mb. 1 (d5) pump each would be fine.

I'm not a pro but I don't think more pumps will help lower temps by a noticable margin.

980x at 4.67ghz atm.
Its not for 24/7 tho. Just when I do a few selective stuff.
