I was thinking that tube routing would be easier.

I am planning a water loop for my system and have bought most everything I need.
I have not nailed down a case yet but am leaning to an NZXT Phantom 410 or a CM Storm Trooper/Stryker.
The components I have are:
Bitspower Z-Multi 150 Res. (which is leaking atm)
New 3 port cap for the Bitspower Res
Swiftech MCP35B pump
3/8 ID 1/2 OD Bitspower compression fittings and an assortment of angles and extensions.
XSPC Raystorm CPU block
XSPC EX240 Rad.

Thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense why they are not as effective as a standard rad.
Its just for hosing - nowt else
Asking my self why dont they do it like "triple pass" ?
restriction, cost of development and nay-sayers.. it'd help on routing and possibly
cooling (longer in the radiator for thermal echange) but also can backup the load
that's be a lotta lil tubes. converting a single to a triple would mean either more
baffle (restriction) more tubes (lower restriction) more money... possibly 20-30%
higher or more if it works correctly.

I have one UT60 360 on floor of my room now. i dump it so i get my monsta in my case.
Anyway, i put it, swiftech res and swiftech MCP655 (D5 pump), in loop.
I Bleeded it and turn it runing. After speed #3 or so, it takes air to circle.
I stopped it. Take hold of tube and bend it so its ginked(180*). Turn pump back up again.
After speed #4½ or so, it take air again, so atleast at 60mm rads restriction isnt problem at now at least for powerfull pump.
Edit: Yes it might cost, but i bet theres people to buy one if the do things right..

yes, i would too, but it hasnt been determined if a triple pass rad is a performer,
waste of time or even a viable product...
airdeano
the manufacturers would make that determination, not us because its thier dime
for testing, prototyping, and warrenty to find out the gains. yes, autos/trucks
and like use radiators, but we are sorta scaled down from those applications.
and what might work in the large scale, might not work in the small scale. just too
tiny to make a difference or a restriction.
