How much stuff can i put on one loop ???

Mr. May · 5 Sep 2011 at 21:32

Okay iam now toying with the idea of Tri-SLI :rolleyes:

For starters i have a XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir & Pump

And iam thinking off running this loop with it

RES/PUMP> 120.2> I7 920> 120.1> MOBO> 120.4> 3x470 (parallel)

i was thinking this might be a bit much for one pump but would like to keep it as one loop can this pump or any pump do it ?

I'm not very familiar with the pump, but I don't think it will be able to do it.

THIS pump will

I'm not even sure a D5 could handle 3 radiators, a CPU block, mobo chipset block and 3 GPU blocks.

Could be wrong though.

On max setting I think it can

A D5 would be ok but not sure about the pump u have, 5 blocks can be pretty restrictive then add in 3 rads.

What, screwing a motor into a plastic case?

Lol.

Nope, they fit a custom ek top to the pump allowing for more performance & fittings

I've got the same pump as you going through CPU, GPU a 120 and 360 and wouldn't push it any further to be honest. It's a good pump for the price but I seriously doubt you'd get the pressure needed to move the water enough with all that and it may well kill the pump.

And that requires an expert?

You'd hardly like "Bob who was wandering past the door last Wednesday" assembling them!

On max settings probably could, but who would want to run a D5 at max just to get a normal flow rate round umpteen blocks. Not to mention the increase in noise.

I've done quaq-sli, cpu, full mobo block and 3 radiators with a dual DDC bayres. Works well, I've also got a system with the pump/bayres you mention in the op and no it won't

elmuzzy66. · 6 Sep 2011 at 15:43

Even if it could would you want to run all that kit on what is at best a budget pump?

Dont knock it, I just borked a DDC pump as I forgot to replace the o-ring

Ahem.. lesson learnt.

It helps with the warranty too i think

Mr. May · 6 Sep 2011 at 21:13

well atm its running

120.4> cpu> 2xgpu's> mobo and back and seems to be doing okay (touch wood)check my build log

but yer iam now considering 2 loops with 2x DDC pumps how does this sound ??

loop 1 RES>DDC>PA 120.4>3x 470's

loop 2 RES>DDC>120.2>cpu>120.1>mobo

how do you think that would fair ?

thats if my desk can hold the weight lol its over 5 and half stone now (36kg)

eddyr · 6 Sep 2011 at 21:35

You could get away without the 120.1 before the chipset block. Save a kilo off your desk too.

rjk · 7 Sep 2011 at 10:00

the 750 is a good budget solution but for serious loops with multiple blocks and a lot of impingement, you will need a lot of head pressure on the pump.

my loop consists of a parallel flow SLI config and a high restriction cpu block and two large radiators on a single D5 pump.

the d5 cannot push the parallel flow properly at any setting below half way. if the loop was series and not parallel then i would say that a d5 could do just about any conventional single loop.
depends how you want to set it up really.

i would personally look at a D5 if you are thinking of tri sli.

Mr. May · 7 Sep 2011 at 18:31

sourced a 18W DDC which i hope would be enough for all the preposed which as far as i've read has the highest pressure of any pump so fingers crossed

Jokester · 7 Sep 2011 at 18:38

I use a single D5 on my loop. It's got a CPU, GPU, full MB, plus 10+m of tubing and about 50 elbows in it, previously used a DDC 18W as well and either cope fine with it.
