Planning on the new 427w Domniator Pro for CPU, the MCW50-T from swiftech for GPU (i think thats the name of the cooler, 80watt TEC, i hear some people upgrade this to a more powerful pelt, any ideas on that would be awesome as well! ), and the swiftech chipset waterblock. the two options i see are...
1) Running this as one contiguos circuit...pump -> cpu -> gpu -> chipset -> radiator -> resevoir -> back to pump
Using one Black Ice Xtreme III (the one with 3 120mm fan slots) to radiate that massive amount of heat,
or
2) Running Two loops...
Loop 1: Pump -> Cpu -> Black Ice Xtreme II -> resevoir -> back to pump
Loop 2: Pump -> Gpu -> Chipset -> Black Ice Xtreme -> resevoir -> back to pump
Obviously, i could use a single resevoir and simply have it have 2 inlets and 2 outlets for ease of construction.
Anyway, which would be a better set up? i think that the 2nd option would be a more efficent cooler as the water must already be rather hot by the time it gets past the Dominator, therefore not very effective at cooling the other components.
On a side note...im planning on using the Meanwell Sp-750-24 to power that massive 427 watt pelt and the pump(s) (made by swiftech, 2amp pump) on my 420 watt Antec Truepower. would an 80 watt pelt need to be on yet another PSU? or would either the Antec or sp-750 be able to handle it? Again, any advice is much apreciated...i have very little knowledge of electrical needs, im a landscape architect major after all thanks all!
