Weird Triple loop idea need advice.

[MagisD]

So in my current build OverKill cube I ended up with a spare set of pumps.

I now have here
2x mcp-655/with koolance Cov-rp450 and direct attach res's
and
2x Mcp-35X Pwm pumps with Direct attach res's ( I might not use the res's)

I can do separate Res's or a conjoined res for all loops

I have 6 quad 120 rads (mcr-420's ) and 4 blocks

Loop 1
Koolance Cpu-360 rev1.2
and Mips Corsaoir ram block.

Loop 2
EK X58 Sli LE MB block
EK 5870 Gpu block ( preinstalled on Powercolor LCS)

I'm planning on running both loops on the mcp-35X's one each.

My question is ( not buying any more tops/fitting etc )
Should I,

A. Run both loops with 3 rads per Separate res's

B. Run 1 loop for blocks 1 loop for rads Common res.

C. Add a third loop with the Mcp-655 just for the rads and Just keep the Mcp-35X on 2 blocks each. Common res.

D. You have a better suggestion

Just slightly overwhelmed with Config options since I impulse bought 2 mcp-35x

[Utnorris]

I would run one loop with the CPU and two rads and the rest in one loop with four rads.

[MagisD]

Common or split res's?

eh with that set up a single loop would do as long u do this. One single quad rad will be enough
for u to run to 4.3-4.4ghz.

gpu - cpu - mobo (vreg first) - ram - rad - res - pump ( have to use MCP655)

thats what i am running with a i7920+GTX480+Classy E760.
and my temps on 4.4ghz HT on Linx is 84C, OCCT Gpu stress test 60C,mobo vreg ( because of vtt at 1.55v ( ram running at 2150) .) temp is 61 .. on load.
with push pull Feser 360

got another comp with dual loop for cpu one loop and gtx480+mobo rampage iii extreme with a DDC with Ek 140 Xres. with a HWlabs GTS360
GC temp on load is 59C on same voltage and speed.

ambient temp is at 29-31C

so on a LE board?? eh 5870.. eh..

[cstkl1]

another note. No point using mips cooler on X58 rams..

Test with the CMt kit from corsair using airflow pro. LEd
so colour range is Coolest is blue, then green, then yellow then 2/3 more level to red.
at my ambient temp it never goes more than green and at nights it will be blue so again eh.

[MagisD]

Thanks but I chose this configuration as far as rads and parts go, don't need advice on that.

just on loop optimizaton for this build with the parts I have.

I don't think you can really go wrong with all that cooling and pumping power, but personal preference..I would start by completley spoiling the CPU. CPU only loop with two pumps in series and one or two quad rads just for the CPU. That should get you way down there in the water deltas and optimal flow for the CPU as well. Then combine everything else in the second loop with the remaining rads and pumps. I know it's overkill for the CPU, but it deserves spoiling..

Personnally, I'd run the 6 rads + 2 pumps in series; but yall know my philosophy on this - This config would be particularly easy and clean, given the layout of the rads.

[MagisD]

The single loop idea would be clean ....

Tempted very tempted as the tubing is going to be insane running from rads to blocks and back . Buts Since I'm not comfortable using the Swiftech DA res's As they are now( don't think my mount would hold them ). I need another res solution and the Koolance res I have I can just Attach an 655 right on it ;-)

But for dual loops...

Pump wise would I be wise to mix pumps or pair them the same ?

Way I'm thinking of it now have my original idea of Rad mounted 655 with koolance res Set on speed 2? and have that leading into the MCp-35X for flow adjustment . Would the Setting of the 655 restrict flow ?

Or would it simply be better to set the 2 655's in series on one loop and the 2 mcp-35x Split pwn off 1 header on the the other.

Pumps and flow are my weak point I can never figure those out quite right when specing in my head ;-)

Also Would heat Dump from the pumps eliminate any benefit of going series in my case ?

This is majorly a case of I have the gear but should I use it .

run the 2 35X in series (splice the pwm into 1). I run mine at 1700 rpm for silence.
cosmos s with mcr320 Edge + mcr220 edge in series, Gentle Typhoons at 900 rpm, Core i7 980X @4 Ghz + (2) GTX295's @ 700 mhz, with (3) 1920x1200 monitors. This is a workstation, not a gaming system. runs in silence next to me.

[BreezeDM]

I would run 1 loop with 2 of the rads and 2 of the pumps in series.

[MagisD]

pair the 35X. I run mine at 1700 rpm for silence.

About how much benefit would I see of them in series vers individuals ?

I'm not worried about flow I believe each of pumps those could handle most of this individually if necessary.

If I'm going in series whats the best way to orient /connect them ?

[MrBean]

1x Quad Rad.
1x Pump.
1x Loop with your 4 blocks.

edit: Before I forget, 1x silver coil, some distilled water, and a res too -

Have fun.

Lol @ Gabe: Even if it was an extreme gaming rig, that would still be cool and quiet with the components listed. But then again, Gabe, you knew that

[MagisD]

Lol just to make it clear the 6 quad rads and 2 mcp-35x are going in no question. The question was do I add the mcp-655 ? and suggested best arrangment.

Please look at my buildlog parts are bought and half installed.

Looking for idea's and advice.

Btw i should note I I'm a little ocd about symatry and everything matching. Everything has to look right or I start getting twitchy. Lol

Well this is what i came up with so far for the loop.



I can add a second loops with ease with one or 2 655's off the bottom of the res. But do I need to ?
