Its a very good pump indeed how ever the make sure if you are going to change the pump speed you be very gentle with the slot to change it as its very delicate.

would there be any difference in a single loop system (like the one i have described at the begining of this topic) and two seperate loops (one for gpu's and one for cpu0?

the thing is that some people are saying single loop systems vs 2 loop systems dont have much difference in terms of cooling ability. All this is making me confused, so im seeking opinions from many people to help me as it my first time watercooling and i want to get it right.
 
Me personally will all ways go with a 2 loop system if using a High end GPU system. Its best to separate them so that you as much more performance over the GPU and the CPU.

Many people will give you advice over what to use how ever not ever one is right. The best thing to do is start with a single loop see how things go and then if you can afford it move to a two loop system. the biggest problems is price. The second biggest problem is being able to house such a system.

if you use this rad you could use two pumps and have the line split into 2 single lines one for the GPU and one for the CPU then when they merge and go back into the rad the liquid will be cooled down more effectively.

Wow i like the image, very helpful thank very much for that.

Im liking this idea of serparating the loops, by doing this i presume i would need a large reservoir in order to supply both loops with sufficient amount of coolant passing through each one. As its difficult to put such a system in a ft02 case with minimal mods done to it, i decided to go with an external cooling system. Which reservoir would you recommend, i have come across the following two:

Bitspower Z-Multi 250mm Water Tank Reservoir

Bitspower Z-Multi 400mm Water Tank Reservoir

thanks for your help so far

res size doesn't matter. you could fit a t-line if you want'd. the res is just to help for looks and make life easy for filling. How ever if you got a res with 2 out ports and 1 in port this would make life easy.

http://specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/product.php?productid=11459&cat=1630&page=1

this would be good enough and then to bring the lines back together you could just get a Y fitting you can pick a cheap ass one up from B&Q for £1.99.

Great, thanks for finding that for me, i guess ive more or less got all the parts i need. just need to find tubing, coolant and the fittings
 
well i can help you with all that accept coolant as i would be considered bias and ill leave that up to some one else to do.

My last order from SP tech was for this clamps

Steel Spring Hose Clamps for 5/8" (16mm) Outer Diameter Tubing : Black #11117

and this tubing and the tube is the best ive had in a long time

ClearFlex 60 3/8" ID - 5/8" OD (10-16mm) : Clear #4771

It bends easily with out kinking and to fit just dip in boiling water for 30 seconds and push onto the end. make sure you fit if you using hose clips them before hand.

this is the last system i built not so long back using that tubing and thouse clips

The hose does flex very well without kinking provinding nice loops. The hose clips look great aswell.

Again Thanks for helping me get this far

, now i can water cool my pc

your welcome im not on all the time but if you pm ill help as much as i can. How ever the end products you buy are up to you self. You can only learn by actually playing mate.
 
Ive just pinged mayhem on msn as his replies have been a little in inaccurate dude. So disregaurd previous posts please.
 
Mate i just found out that the temp off the 480 are hitting 80c on Rads which is ridicules i dont think that rad will work in the config ive show you. you need two separate loops completely. Back to the drawing board my friend.
 
TBH dude you will either need 2 hefty rads to keep fan noise down aswell as temps or two seperate loops. As in 2 completely seperate sealed loops.

You need to be prepaired to spend a lot of cash to keep expensive parts cool.

The cash is not a problem. will a 360 rad be enough for the cpu and a quad rad for the 2 x gtx 580's since the 580's are cooler than the 480's?

the main thing i want to acheive is lower temps for gpu and the cpu, from the start i wasnt feeling a single loop for all the parts.

I know i will have to some mods to my case which is not an issue. I just want the best possible loops for the gpu and another one for the cpu.
