Just wondering if there is any benefit (or point) to possibly running a dual res system. I was thinking of having one res on a loop to handle the cpu and motherboard (ASUS Maximus VII Formula), and a second res with a loop running the memory and video card. Anyone done this or think it is a good idea?
Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most.
System:
CM 690 II Advanced case v.3 // ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard // Intel 15-3570K CPU // 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3, 1600 Kingston Hyper X Black memory // 2GB EVGA GTX 660Ti video card // ASUS BW-14D1XT 14X Internal Blu-Ray Burner - BDXL Format // Corsair AX750 PSU // Corsair AX750 individually sleeved cable set // 2x Samsung 840 128GB SSD // 2x Western Digital Caviar Black 1Tb 7200 RPM SATA drive // 24" Samsung HDTV Monitor
Watercooling Loop:
XSPC Raystorm CPU waterblock // XSPC Razor GTX670 GPU waterblock // XSPC Razor GTX670 back plate // XSPC memory heat sinks // XSPC Dual 5.25" Dual Bay Reservoir // Swiftech MCP655 Water Pump w/ Speed Control // Bitspower Ultimate 3/8 x 5/8 Compression Fittings // 2x XSPC RS240 Dual 120mm Low Profile Radiator Rev 2. // 1x 120MM BitFenix Spectre Red LED fan // 5x 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon Fan[/SIZE][/SIZE]
This is a tried and tested concept.
It lets you run a smaller rad on the GFX card (as they can run hotter) and a bigger rad for CPU overclocks / temps.
So long as the two loops are kept apart - i.e. two pumps as well.
