Here is what I have:

AMD Phenom X4 9850+ Black Edition 2500MHz @ 2750MHz
Asus Crosshair II Formula 780a SLI AM2
8192 MB of OCZ Reaper 5-5-5-15-24-2T
MSI 260 GTX (620/1080/1296 - Core/Memory/Shader) Nvidia GeForce
RAID 1 Barracuda 7200.10 SATA II w/16MB 320.0 GB @ 7200 RPM
Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA II w/16MB Cache (Pr0n)
Thermaltake Symphony Radiator
Swiftech MCP355 w/Custom Delrin Pump Top
D-Tek Fuzion V2 CPU Waterblock
D-Tek GPU Fuzion V2 with Uni-Sink
PrimoChill Typhoon Dual Floppy Bay Reservoir
Cooler Master Mystique 631

My loop (1/4 ID) is pump out out a set of Koolance QDC's to Symphony back though another set of QDC's to a nozzle body/splitter to the GPU/CPU to the reservoir to the pump.

I am adding another 260GTX, changing to DD Tieton blocks for the cards, are replumbing the inside with 3/8 ID.

In order to go SLI I have to change the location of the pump. Currently it is at the bottom of the case next to the hard drives but it would interfere/occupy the same space as the second card.

What I would like to do:

My loop is pump out out a set of High Flow QDC's to Symphony back though another set of HF QDC's to a splitter/manifold to GPU1/GPU2/CPU to the reservoir to the pump.

Problem is that I cannot find a reservoir that has a pump that accepts more then one return. I know my loop is already horrible restrictive and the 3>1 would certainly not help.

I have 2 5.25" drive bays open and was looking at getting the XSPC Acrylic Dual 5.25in Reservoir for Laing DDC and using my existing 355. but how to get three return is the problem.

Now I accept that I may be completely of my rocker and should just use an SLI bridge for GPU1 and GPU2 but I would still have a 2>1 problem at the reservoir.

I cannot seem to find any reservoirs that have more then a single return that cost less then about $60.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Don't get another 260gtx and a block for it. That's like what 300 bucks at least? I would just hold off for the new video cards coming out. The 260 can handle just about everything out right now, so there really isn't too much to gain right now.

Nonetheless, you may be able to use this. Swiftech MCRES-MICRO Rev2 Reservoir Looking at the picture, it looks like it could work.

I am buying the blocks and the card used so my cost is less. My main goal in going to a dual card is improving my folding performance.

Thanks!
