chipset cooling

[Rover3500]

Hi all,

I want to cool my cpu and chipset on one loop and as advised here my 2 graphics cards on a seperate loop, will the north bridge, south bridge and mosfet blocks restrict the flow more than a cpu block ?

Should I run the chipset and cpu in series or maybe the chipset and cpu in parellel using a Y splitter so each are getting a fresh cold feed ?

Any suggestions ?

I would run them in series, and although there will be restriction, it wont stop your loop unless your pump is made by thermaltake.

So just go rad - cpu - north - south - mosfet - res - pump

Yeah that sounds fine

Will 10mm tubing be ok for it, only I like the idea of the pushfit for neatness or do you think I need to go for 1/2" ?

Thanks,

Oh !! I forgot to say I will be using a Laing DCC ultra with an XSPC single bay res a P120.3 rad dangerden cpu block and basicaly what ever Gigabyte X48 chipset blocks are avaliable

hm, 10mm should be fine

the loop sounds good, dont forget to post pics !

the waterblocks can be in any order without a performance hit, just route it with the shortest tube!

 

[Luigi]

well the performance hit i so small you wont notice it... Inonefly you've suddenly appeared in every topic ever (well it seems that way) Did you have a day off or something? it must have taken you years.

not a day off but 4 months ... im rebuilding both my watercooled rig and will post some pics as well
