I do have a design for a dual D5 and a Dual DDC version. The issue for the dual D5, for me at least, is the loss of efficiency from an overall design approach. The dual D5 design is aimed more at redundancy for mission critical implementations and still uses the dual loop design with PEC.
The DDC version is similar in layout to the other DDC dual pump with a few important tweaks. Vapor is mostly right when he mentioned that the DDC does not scale to the dual loop setup on the D5 exactly as it is, but I did find a way to get it VERY close. That design is a machined POM (delrin) part so it can enter production pretty fast once the design is sold and green lighted. I am not pushing it too much right now because I have a D5 pump top (single loop type) coming out shortly as well as a CPU block that is a totally new direction for blocks. Then there is Rain Maker, a complete line of radiators that I honestly believe will blow you guys away. If you think T3 is a different approach...Rain Maker is 10 times more innovative.
The point is The dual pump versions are down on the list a bit.
I think it would yes. Vapor has access to better numbers on all your components then I do so he could probably suggest better loops out of the gate...my napkin math suggests the GPU's on one loop. I also agree with you about keeping it pretty. If you have a rad mounted externally...your just not trying hard enough![]()
Other posts are saying that the GPU's will dump heat into the CPU loop. Though that is not incorrect a more correct way to think about it is the loops reaching equilibrium. You can't just view it as the loops hitting their balance and stop there though as you have to factor in the much more efficient flow rate you also get. Of course more rad (up to a point) helps. Valor is a few orders of magnitude smarter then me so I would 100% wait for his take and for sure go with his loop recommendations.
Sigh. You wanna know the WORST part? Honest to God when I proofed that I saw I had put Valor (I watched 4 episodes of Angel back to back so Valor was on my mind I guess) and I went back and changed it...to Valor....again.
Sorry VAPOR. Everyone please feel free to call me BoxMods
That's why when you date multiple girls...try to find ones with the same name =)
Yeah, that pipeline is long and slow as hell sometimes. Fortunately I am old and patient...sorta.
