2 loops: CPU / mobo & gfx loop worth it?

JudgeJules · 8 Dec 2011 at 16:25

I've been looking at some of the project builds today and one thing that has been playing on my mind is; doesn't the liquid heat up going through the graphics block before it gets to the cpu?

Is it worth running two loops, one for the cpu/mobo and the other for graphics or is that overkill?

Thanks in advance,

Jules

Bah, how did this end up in here, I think it should have been in the Watercooling forum. Please feel free to move it if its a problem. Thanks

From what I have read, dual vs single loop has very little gains in terms of temps! But it may have advantages in aesthetics.
Coolant will come to its equilibrium in time, so it doesn't matter if GPU is before CPU.

Cheers Av, I think I wasn't realising that the liquid doesn't stay in the block that long so the in/out temp difference isn't that great. Cheers.
