So i have two d5's a swiftech double rad and a tfc triple rad in this loop:
res>pump1>pump2>cpu>mosfet 1>mosfet 2>NB SB block>gpu>double rad > triple rad.
My i7 920 @ 4ghz now hits load at around 68 degrees but when I had a triple loop it would max at around 56-57 (HT OFF)
My 4870 x2 however seems to benefit the most as in this new single loop theres only a max temp increase of 6 degrees compared to 14-18 degrees in the triple loop.
The nb /sb temps seem to have also increased by 3-4 degrees.
I dont think restriction is a major issue in the single loop as I tried adding a 3rd d5 and also a 10W ddc (so four pumps) but this had no effect on temps so I got rid of them (due to noise and space).
Just find it a bit weird that the GPU is the only thing that benefits from a single loop. I prefer single loops since I have a window and it looks much neater. Is there any way I can improve the temps of the CPU? (without the obvious adding another rad or increasing fan speed).
