looping multiple water components **best way**

[ace1981]

hi my bro flogged me his zalman reservator very cheap i couldnt refuse i thought id get it intentionly just to cool the graphics card x1800xt eventually i will be crossfire

and at the same time my order was in progress half the order has already arrived so ill tell ya what i will have and to hook all together with best tubing route

i have [ ]=ariving soon

1x black ice stealth triple rad
1x tripple nexxxos extreme rad
1x 250mm xspc red alloy res
1x 500mm xspc black alloy res [ received today]
1x Danger den tdx cpu block for 939
[1x gfx water block probley ZM-GWB3 Water Cooling VGA Block]
[1x gfx ram water block again not got as yet] ZM-RWB1 VGA RAM Water Block
1x zalman res no cpu block just that hopefully the reservator pump will help as well
1x hydor l30 pump
1x chipset waterblock

have 10mm tubing but im converting to 1/2 on all so itll be better

some people may say this is too much but i couldnt refuse not buy the reservator of him

so how would you do this with the tubing and with 3.2 litres of water it should cool everything what temps do ya think ill get?

just thought this loop up dunno if it effeciant though i let you guys tell me


pump > reservator > black ice stealth rad > tdx cpu block > nexxos rad > 500ml xspc passive res > gpu block > 250ml xspc passive res > chipset block > back to pump..

why would it corrode??....the zalman reservator i basicaly alluminum with pump and that is non corrosive and i thought the passive resivoir black and red alloys would also be non corrosive due to being almost identical to zalman...my bro had his for over a year with no problems at all and no changes or bad effect like rust/corrosion or tubing rotting away...only wondered if the above statement i gave earlier was workable??
if it only needs another pump to help it along what pump is recommended...and p.s cant sell the stuff as i only just bought it so it either a waste or not but id like to salvage it if possible even if it mean splitting them into 2 individiual cooling setups = graphics card and cpu.

thanks for the info/comments above from other users but more advice is needed...cheers

ok ill continue with my current setup just the reservator can do the graphics & gfx ram water block and chipset by it self wont be not connected to the other watercooler setup which will do just cpu

my thought was becouse the reservator hold

2 litles of water it would be a good resovoir and by it self should keep the water cool then when it goes through one rad itll be cooler than it was so itll get to the cpu nice and cool then goes to another rad cool down the heat to fill the res cooling it again a bit ready for the graphics card heat and memory block the that heat should dispapate into the small res and then cool the chipset then back to pump

yes it may well be a long route to do but the reservator bit was only just thought up today but my main reason for getting it was for the grafix card and chipset so it quieten them down

was going to use the main watercooler but my brother needed some money and i offered to help him out so i bought this zalman just for graxics


what the best pump so i can exchange the hyder l30 as i thought it was a ok pump since it was a waterchill
