2 pumps for the radBox to tank, 2 pumps to each of the machines it watercooling.
almost seems kinda ridiculous. but if any 1 pump fails... well nothing dies.

edit: for the extra cost... what does it buy me?
no no no your looking at the system as 1 big system.

When instead its 2 active systems fighting for equalibirum.

The system which is tank -> rad -> tank... can be kept small, and on bigger diameter tubing.

since flow controls how much heat is carried and dump'd, obviously bigger tubing, using a fish pump to a car rad, or some type of rad of that size is going to have a tiny flow drop.

This is system 1.

System 2, is from the tank to your computers.

Now assume... each of your system is taking 1gpm of flow..
That means 2 systems u got 2 gpm of flow going back into the tank.

Your tank will have way more X gpm of flow to the rad and back, if u designed it right.


As you can see your tank will be kept at close to ambient at all times unless u have an insane massive heat dump going on.
