It can work. matt100 used orange for his red loop in his sig. That about as red as your going to get I think, but IMO matt100's loop looks great.

I don't want red though lol, fancied orange and blue

Together? In the Same loop? Eugh!

not in the same loop - in two separate loops. Dunno if orange and blue would work as they are from the oposite sides of the colour table but it would certainly contrast lol.

I recon that would work. What colour case? I recon it could look very nice in a white case.

UFO - Black.

Yeah I agree white would look better with that colour setup...but most other colours suit black better imo and with the amount of times I change my loop then I went safe with the black option.

this is a question directed at matt100, i was wondering, does a dual loop setup acctualy reduce temps?

might buy a extra pump and do what youve done. (i got a spare triple rad laying around which i can just mount on my wall which im doing with my current triple rad)

ags

p.s. i dont use res's

ive not read all the posts, i dont need to, its personal opinion, its your case, do what you want.

Honest answer??

I don't know, I did it for looks not performance.. although obviously having a cpu loop and a gfx loop means that I couldrun cpu intensive tasks and still be supplying cool water to the cpu and vice versa.

one word of warning on what messiah said about my red/orange thing.. yes I did use orange to get the red you see in my sig (and on the thread i made about it) but I had to use too much orange dye to get there and some of it has settled in the res now so a) the res is a bit stained and b) the water is less red (but still a heck of a lot more red than it ever was with a whole bottle of red dye)

Sounds like green is your best bet then!
