why not run a third pump?? well, u can give it a go, im just not entirely sure u would get that much of a benefit from putting a third in there!

if u have a spare u could go for PUMP>RAD>RAD>RAD>RES>PUMP>PUMP

so that you get the pressure up going into the radiator!

I like that idea... I will shortly have 5 D5s... two as hot spares as I detailed a bit in previous posts (for "unnecessary" redundancy and experimentation's sake)

If the rig is planned to run 24/7, then you will get no temperature gain whatsoever from adding more water to the loop. The water will (eventually) reach equilibrium just the same as if you had a T-line and no res. If you only run the machine for a few hours out of the day, then yeah, you might see gain from a huge res. But if you have the multiple loops running into and out of the same massive res, it no longer becomes a dual-loop system, just a single loop with a whole bunch of pumps.

Hmmm, yes it will reach an equilibrium but with more volume for heat to diffuse thus surface area to escape I question whether that equilibrium would be less so to a non-negligible extent.

yes see I presumed you had drawn the diagrams incorrectly in the picture earlier on but that is not the case. My apologies

still I say just use two pumps in series for the GPUs and you will have more than enough redundancy as long as you monitor them frequently enough.

The redundancy is just for fun... doing something I've never done, etc. Plus I've already completed 90% of the controller schematic... just looking for some electrically pneumatic ball valves I can mod into the loop as failure point diversions.

A closer look at the bitspower top/bottom/front.
