View Full Version : 2xBIP1 vs 1xBIP2
Any performance difference between these two setups?
Im thinking: Pump-BIP1-CPU-BIP1-GPU-T-line
Simply because I have a hard time getting room for a BIP2 in my PC-7B and bacause I have two second hand BIP1 on my hands.
Thoughts and ideas are welcome...

Is my question stupid? If so, I appologize...

2x BIP1 will provide a slightly larger pressure drop than 1x BIP2, but in theory cooling capacity shouldn't be very different at all
2XBIP1 is equal to the same surface area as 1BIP2 if you can add an additional pump between the two you shouldnt loose pressure.

1xBIP2 for reasons stated above.
1xBIP2 for reasons stated above.
He would if he could but he can't... for the reason stated above in the start of the thread
Thank you everone.
I take it 2xBIP1 would be alright, especially since im getting a rather good pump...

Shouldnt be an issue but... rememeber that the higher the water temp, the higher the efficiency of the rad. So one rad right after the other *might* be better...
But i wouldnt worry about it, just go for shortest possible tube lenghts. so long as you dont put your rads in parallel youll be fine.
