So I've opted for 2 loops, now for the stupid question.

Could I run my pump/res combo's in series, I've googled it and
there is no definitive answer?

Waste of time and resources running dual loops, Been there done that, No difference in performance.

Here is some proof from Swiftech.
Your better off getting 1 or 2 MCP 655 pump(s) and putting it all in a single loop, less hassle, less time, less money and better or similar performance.

Thats the thing with OCUK most people here only listen to there own advice and ignore the facts.

Dont say i didnt tell you so, I dont care wether you do dual or single im just pointing at the facts, Wether you choose to ignore those facts well thats up to you.

yea you could run them in series, you would just need to connect the outlet of one to the inlet of the other

Surely that just means that one pump would be pumping into the res of the other and then all the pressure/head/etc. is lost?
Surely with the second pump you'd just want a normal pump top or something and feed the output from the combo into the pump (without a res)?

I think its more to do with the D5 not providing as much pressure as other pumps so dual loops would split the load allowing better flow.

I didn't think about that tbh. I'm not a w/c expert by any means so I'm not sure how that would affect it.

No the D5 offers more than enough pressure especially with a Pump-Top, Ive had a few different pumps and the D5 is one of the best.

The fact is the OP is doesent know what he's doing so im providing facts, as usual.

Not only that like i said in another thread regarding a Reservoir this is the best one to choose for reasons that i said in another thread here and i will quote the same again....

The Koolance reservoir can house 2xMCP 655 pumps so even the most restrictive loop(s) will not have any problems with regards to head pressure because of the custom waterblocks that can cause slight decrease in head pressure.The beauty of this reservoir is that it dont need a pump top to increase head pressure because once the plastic housing that comes with D5's/MCP655's as stock is removed from the pumps,the output is immediately forced through a 90-degree bend, When you mount the pumps to the koolance bay res the bay also acts as pump top.
Can be used with DDC or D5 pumps, I recommend the D5 variable speed pump(s).

As you can see there is no need for a Pump-top if you buy the right reservoir like i explained before.

This is an enthusiast forum? Theres some great information on OCUK from various posters regarding certain topics but im afraid Watercooling and the GPU parts of this forum has left me a bit sceptical compared to the knowledge of people on other forums regarding facts.

As usual nobody listens, not that i care, I suggest the OP carry on and build his dual loop, Nice case btw considered it myself at one time;)

You have a lovely way with words :)

I really appreciate you going out of your way to belittle my efforts and spoil my thread

I bow down to your superior knowledge and I'm grateful your saw fit to share
your vast wealth of experience with us mere mortals.

I am truly lost for words :rolleyes:

Yep, leave this thing out of someones project log, it isn't the place for petty discussion on how correct you feel you are on something, its also quite disrespectful to the OP.

OP is still learning the ropes when it comes to WC, that doesn't mean to say what you think is right is the gospel truth. Furthermore if you don't like what people post in this forum, then don't post here, post elsewhere?

@whyscotty, dual loops will be fine, as Something Else mentioned earlier, dual loops will offset half of the restriction, as good as dividing it by two (block dependant). Regardless its not a 'waste of time'. It also gives you a rare opportunity to run two different colour fluids in the same case to give you a nice contrast. I did consider dual loops but didn't really have room for a second res so I'm staying with the idea of series pumps.

As far as I can see there is nothing whatsoever I can learn from you or your followers/minions.:D

I don't think you can learn from anywhere if I am honest. :rolleyes:

I love what people do with their builds and love the builds of experienced builders, as well as the builds of new builders (like me). I love to see pics and spent hours going through the case gallery here. I asked for advice and guys like PGI were only to glad to help.

You Sir, are out of order and the forums will be a better place without your condescending style of posting.

Thanks for the kind words, apologies for a certain persons behaviour.

I'm happy with the way things are progressing, it will be a dual loop setup :D
and if its proves to be a bad choice I'll let you know

I don't think you will have any problems with a dual loop providing you have the space go for it.:)

I did think about a dual loop on mine but I don't have as many free 5.25" bays as you have so it would make it more difficult for me.

The idea of having different colours for each loop is something that could work well too.:)
 
In OcUK's 900D build (I got a good look at it before the images were pulled), Ace was using a pair of 750 bay-res pumps in a dual loop. Each loop was quite large but the 750's coped just fine, so a D5 should also be fine.

iirc Ace had CPU+Chipset (RIVE)+VRM+360 on one loop & dual GPU's & a 480 on the other loop.
