How many things can one loop handle?

DELETED_74504 · 19 Nov 2011 at 10:43

Hi there,

I've got an MCP355 18w. Currently going pump, 240 rad, cpu block, gpu block, 240 rad, back to pump. (using a T-line before pump).

So could I add more to the loop? another gpu for instance? I know I would probably have to add another rad - but again, how many 'in sequence' bits can a single pump handle.

Any advice or pointers on where to read on this specifically would be appreciated.

Cheers

Max

I think that pump has enough grunt to do everything, cpu,gpu,mobo,ram,hdd's but it all depends on how restrictive the blocks are. running 2/3rads with the cpu and 2x gpu should be fine, though I suggest at least another rad for 2xgpu and cpu. Remember, more rads=more surface area=better temps.

Thanks Pengu1n. Good to know that my pump can handle a bit more. Can you (or can anyone else) direct me to a page where I can read about this in a bit more detail. I would like to understand the mechanics and workings out for what the limit is for one loop. Cheers!

Don't there is a page that tells you.

It will be fine tho.

I have a d5 with similar set up and that's fine and has less head pressure than your pump

It will be fine, you also won't require another rad either. You have 4x120mm raddage which could handle up to four components.

I've used that pump with cpu, mobo, ram and 2 120.3 rads so to be honest I think it can handle anything you're likely to throw at it, GPU blocks particularly are very low resistance.
