Using two radiators...??

[hxcguitarist]

alrighty... when using two radiators what is the best way route the liquid and use both radiators? here is how i believe it could be done: from the 1st radiator to the cpu, the cpu to the north bridge, the north bridge to the 2nd radiator, the 2nd radiator to the gpu, the gpu to the liquid resivor, the liquid resivor to the pump, then the pump to the 1st radiator. suggestions on routing something like this would be greatly appreciated :D because i am tottaly a newb at this stuff :p

Thanks a ton! :D

Interesting way......

If this was to all be done internally, then you need quite a big case to fit all of that in...

lol yeah, the one i am planing on using is THIS ONE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811125435) :D lol, its pretty big, but i may need to mount one radiator on the outside of the case :( but i would really like other peoples opions on how they would route it! lol :D

[crenn]

Well.... the method you suggested sounds like that, that's the best thing to do.

You may want to consider adding a second pump somewhere in the mix there, probably before entering the second radiator. Your pressure drop from going to block to block would require a lot of work for a single pump to handle.

TribalOverkill is building Blackout with two radiators, you may want to go over his worklog if you haven't already, he's got a pretty neat solution.

i dont think thats case is big enough to fit it all in, i would get like a cm stacker or somthing.

two pumps...alright! well, then should i use two smaller pumps (like THIS (http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=135&cat=4&page=1)) but then again are 2 radiators really going to help in performance gain?

Rankenphile: YES!! i love his blackout mod! it is deffinetly one of the best mods i have looked at! and its killing me to wait for his next major update on it :mad:.

public_eyesore: the case should be big enough (but i will definetly keep in mind what you said;) ) because i am going to mount the 2nd radiator on the outside of the back of the case (unless people tell me otherwise) and the first radiator in the inside of the case :D but befor i make any final decisions on buying things i will definetly make sure that it will all work out :D

Thank you guys very much for your opions/suggestions/corrections! they are very much so appreciated :D

ok the outside mounting should work, its just that i have that case and its not much bigger than a normal one.

[hxcguitarist]

oh ok! thats great then let me ask you if that case is good for modding and is it really sturdy and easy to use? :D thanks public_eyesore :D

yea its nice. i like the swinging doors and screwless mounting, but mine was steel. Steel is hard to work with, but if you get the aluminum one, that would be awesome.

[hxcguitarist]

oh ok! i'll see if i can do that :D thanks again!
