Help needed with watercooling lay out

[brigz]

I have a tj07 and am not sure what loop to install for rig.

The lower compartment will house a quad radiator and a dual radiator.

So here are the options I can think of:

Single loop:
T3 > Quad Rad > Dual Rad > CPU > Motherboard > GPU 1 > GPU 2

Dual sub loops 1:
T3 > Dual Rad > CPU
T3 > Quad Rad > Motherboard > GPU 1 > GPU 2
(but with the loops being so different in length could this cause problems?
so maybe stick the motherboard WB with this and swap around rads?)

or what other methods would you think may be better? I already have a mcp655, but could get another.

I want the case to not be cluttered as looks are important.

Thanks

If dual loops you need dual pumps as any attempt to split into parallel loops is pretty much doomed from the start.

If single loop, have you determined that the quad rad cannot handle the heat load? If you must use a quad and a dual there's little point them being in line. Where each goes depends on the components being cooled. Put the quad after the hottest and the dual after the others.

i thought the whole point of the Primochill Typhoon III was that you didnt need 2 pumps?

That wouldn't be two separate loops then would it?

 

[brigz]

well you know what i mean

 

[PermaBanned]

Thing is that's more expensive than a new pump.

 

[MikeTimbers]

Right, so I'm supposed to guess that T3 means "Primochill Typhoon III"?

 

[MikeTimbers]

And the "T3" as far as I know, does not overcome the problem of inequal flow through the two loops. And kind of splitter - no matter how over-priced - can ensure equal flow. The resistance of the two flows will determine flow exactly like in an electrical circuit.

so if i was to use 2 loops, which components should I put on each rad?

would I need 2 pumps if I chose to use 1 loop do you think?

thanks
