Is this possible:

Is it possible to instal another rad into a single loop setup?

Pump/Res > triple rad > CPU > Double RAD > GPU > and back to Pump/Res

Pump/res details
XSPC

• Model : Dual 750 clear Bay Reservoir with pump

• Pump Speed : 750 LPH

• Delivery Head : 1.8m

• Voltage : 12V 4pin Molex

• Power consumption : 10W

Yes, but why? I have a PA120.3 cooling the cpu, NB and gpu in my rig with no problems.

Because i would like the GPU on it's own loop making upgrading easier.

because that 750L/PH is more like 540L/PH and two radiators plus three blocks is going to slow the flow rate to a crawl

Just a i thought - thanks

So, if I'm reading your post correctly JonJ678, adding a double rad between the CPU and GPU may be beneficial since the rad won't hardly effect the flow rate?

Very well constructed post and a good read. Thanks for your time. Some good point there and I has actually never thought about reading the ambient temperature of the reservoir so will have a go at that tonight along with some other tests you have suggested.

My proposed setup is.

Q6600 with XSPC Edge Acrylic CPU Waterblock >

Well. I've installed my new 5870 with stock cooler this weekend just to make sure it's ok out of the box leaving the CPU on it's own WC loop.. I'll give this a month or so then install the 5870 water blockand fit the extra rad on one loop and see what happens. Will post a log about this nearer the time.
