Two pumps or one pump for loop

[reeper250]

I will be running the XSPC Rasa 750 RX360 kit with PrimoFlex 7/16" tubing, distilled water, with either an i7 3820 or i7 3700k, as well as two GTX 460's under water.

Will the stock XSPC Rasa 750 pump and res be enough, or will I need to buy another pump? I also may be getting another RX240 radiator.

I would say put the graphics cards through the triple and cpu through a dual. A D5 could probably power both loops, but you could have two good bay respumps, just depends on how much room you have

@f0x How would you run both off of a single D5? parallel loop setups are more trouble than there worth.

@OP your sig only shows a single 460, it would probably be better for you to upgrade to something like a 570/6950/6970 and get a water block for your new card instead of getting a 2nd 460 and 2x water blocks it wouldnt cost to much more, the 460 as a card in general doesn't really need watercooling.

I have one Gigabyte GTX 460, another EVGA GTX 460, and will be getting a second EVGA GTX 460 and selling the Gigabyte one. Also, two GTX460's in SLi way outperform a single 570, and I am still REALLY happy with my 460's

well can i recomend that you go to dazmode and order your xspc kit from there because then you can get the kit with a ddc or d5 pump which will easily power your system. (i am in no way affiliated with the store, but i did just buy a kit from them and must say they are awesome.

I did say he could run two pumps as well? Its really up to what way his loop will sit in his pc. Personally If your running two graphics cards, I would have them in their own loop If i had the case for it.

I have the Silverstone TJ02B case and I am going to mount the RX360 rad externally so I may be able to mount the RX240 internally. I can fit the EK Multioption RES X2 150 Advanced res in the top part of the case. It would be a perfect fit. I can also fit the pump in as well.[font="Arial, Verdana, sans-serif"] [/font]

i asked a similar question about 6 months ago and TTL told me that the 750 cant cope with three blocks but i was thinking about 570s

Honestly i would go with the rest, no need to water cool the GPU's, but im sure its a i want to do thing rather than an idea cost efficant method. BUT i really have ZERO room to talk with the beast in my sig that i created... I would just get a single 480 rad or a nice push/pull 360 setup and use it in a single loop. Answering the actual question though that pump does seem to be efficiant enough to power a single loop through everything.

Yes, Chaney, you are correct, it is mainly aesthetics.

I ended up getting the;

Swiftec MCP355 pump

XSPC Laing DDC BayRes One

XSPC RayStorm

I still need to choose between

XSPC RX360 http://www.pccasegea...oducts_id=12559

Black Ice GTX 360 http://www.pccasegea...oducts_id=15730

XSPC EX480 http://www.pccasegea...oducts_id=18733
