2xD5 vs 2xDDC long loop comparison (serial scaling)

[Dreddy71]

that is an interesting idea...
/Pump 1\
Loop< > loop
\Pump 2/
if i had 2 pumps and some stuf to test it i would but i dont. me = fail

Dont be so hard on yourself mate

Yes, but 3 of those 7 are acting as 1 block so your loop actually thinks it has 4. Had you stayed serial and with your fancy elbow setup, the DDC's would be much better. You basically streamlined your loop to the point were it doesn't matter which pump you use now.

I think I'm lost here - would appreciate more input from you if I may ask for it

What would you exactly have in mind by saying streamlined?

The 200l/h is like ~0.8gpm so less than I would have expected - and that can be caused only by the restrictions in the blocks (can it?).

Funny thought (and I'm not making you or asking you to do it, just putting it out there), I wonder what the DDC's would do if you put them in parallel.

Would be interesting indeed
I'm sorry though - not going to do it in the short term - the temps are good, I'm happy my rig is working now and I've reached the point where after all the building and changes I want to bench it till it sweat. And then finally play some games :-)

Well yeah but seeing as its a single im sure even as dual it would run better, Use the DUAL top which makes it into 1 top, it rules..

That was the whole point of my post - to share information that in my loop 2x D5 scales much better than 2xDDC - even though as single DDC was better in it.
(much like the SLI, you may have let's say 5870 faster than 470 but 2x470 will be faster than 2x5870 cause they scale better in most title - just an example though, I'm not trying to discuss this here )
