Dual Loop

[Rik1254]

Just finished buying my WC bits (some little bits like barbs left) and now I want to either include the GPU in the same loop or add another loop.

3 Questions
1) Rig in Sig, will a TX650 be able to power 2 loops?
2) If I did a dual loop, would a 140mm rad (with push/ pull fans) be sufficent for a stock 6950 (I dont really game, but might like too every now and then).
3) If I did an all in one, would a slim 280 and chunky 140 rads be sufficent for an OC'd 2500k and stock 6950?

Main reason for adding the GPU in is that Im removing the mesh side panel with 200mm fan for a perspex sheet so I can see all the lovely fluid flowing, so little air would be going to the GPU once this is completed.

TX 650 will be fine
what case is this going in ?

The PSU will be fine, the rads should be sufficient as a single loop (better anyway) but I think that the two is better than two loops in this instance.

Its going in a corsair 500r, already have a bay res and ek 4 pump, easily enough room for another pump.

Yeah a single loop would be better. Might see how things go temp wise and see as id like two colours (going to be a more show rig).


Thanks for the replies.

Clear liquid and two different sets of pipes! Looks like dual loop but much less hardware!

there seems to be some sort of confusion here at the moment.

a watercooling system only needs to be able to power a pump [less power requirements than a HDD] and a few fans.

this doesn't put much more pressure on a PSU

a watercooled system draws little more power than an aircooled one
