What's the point?
You have 3 480mm SR1's - the water will probably be in the negatives!!!

12 fans at full speed is pretty noisy!

what I meant is you can either run it passively or ou can use a "normal" fan controller to keep them circa 600rpm
What size tubing are you using? looks smaller than 7/16?
It's 8/11mm tubing.
What I'm aiming for is to have the fans running at 200-300rpm when idle (might even switch most of them off if possible). Then when at full load have the fans all ramp up to 100%.

It has to be asked... why the hell would you want that?!
Why not just keep it quiet throughout?
Because more cooling = more overclock

What is it that you're cooling again?
Surely with so many rads, you can OC to the max anyway unless of course you have 2 i7's and 4 590s with a 480 for physx!!
At the moment it's a 2600K and a 580GTX, but I'll be going IB + CF/SLI next year.

that definitely can run passively on so many rads!!!
Nah, was hitting 80C, it'll happily run passive though at idle though.
Currently running 2.4lpm through the CPU block, 0.9lpm through the top rad, and 1.2lpm through the bottom two. Slight in accuracy it seems as the total of the two rad flows should equal the CPU flow.
Edit:
CPU flow rate with 3 rads online is 2.45lpm
CPU flow rate with 2 rads online is 2.25lpm
CPU flow rate with 1 rad online is 2.15lpm

Well, either I've got a 300ml/min leak, or the flowmeters aren't totally accurate.
Does it matter if it's different?
Reckon the meters would be accurate to 5% which is actually quite good.

How did you work that out?!
I never thought one person could hold so much knowledge!
The CPU flowrate splits in two, part of the flow goes through the top rad and the rest goes through the bottom two. The flowrate through the bottom two should be more or less double the top one as they will be half as restrictive. It's only different because of the inaccuracies of the flowmeters.
The amp actually has a switch betweem 6mm ID tubing and 10mm tubing. I'm using 8mm tubing so it'll be somewhere between the two in reality, so I've went with 6mm tubing which gives a slightly lower flowrate measurement.

Would it not been easyer to build a chea MDF frame for the WC, pump, ball vlaves etc and have it all layed out flat to test. Be cheaper and easyer to work with!
80c!! My 17 2700K @ 5GHZ cooled by EK Supreme HF new plate, DIYINK 12W DDC, EK DDC top/res & SR-1 560 doesn't get that hot as a pasive item!

That's 80C when Priming though!

Started doing some load testing today, running OCCT 4.0 for 1hour.
Peak temps:-
3rads - 57C
2rads - 59C
1rad - 62C
So going from 1 radiator upto 3 in parallel only drops peak temperatures 5C!
