My point was with two pumps and two loops you could individually tune the speed of water through rad and speed through blocks. I think this would only work though with a bigger res and a fair distance from the inlet of res and inlet of pumps in order to have any chance at being effective as otherwise you will just end up recycling the same water through rad and the same water through blocks...I don't think the water temps would equalize.

And it's all a moot point if your only going to use one pump as it's impossible to run seperate loop through rad and seperate loop through the blocks with 1 pump.
I would really like to see some sort of scientific data that shows the performance of a rad actually decreasing at some point where the flow gets too high. That really sounds bizare to me.

The thing about equalizing the temperature in the reservoir is what i'm most concerned with. Hopefully the guy (don't remember his nickname) who designed the typhoon III can comment on that.

How come i can't run two loops with only one pump out of the typhoon? Isn't both inlets and both outlets connected to the same "tank"?
