What do you guys recommend who have experience with a dual pump, dual watercooling setup...

I want to start fresh with a new case and setup....

I won't mind spending up to $400.00 for a dual watercooling setup DIY or kit....

Does having a dual pump require you to go through two rads, or is one of those heatercore from the bonnevilles sufficient?

How about two res's?

What kind of case do you recommend I get to fit all this, and how much power do I need from a PSU?

Will probably be powering an AMDFX, x800, all sata drives system....
 
so, are you trying to run two seperate watercooling setups, or do you just want to cool both the GPU and the CPU?
 
I think what he's trying to say is he wants two different loops. One loop for his CPU and one loop for his GPU and chipset. Am I right?

Yes.. this is what I meant. I was wondering how much more significant is the two loop/two setup combination over a single loop/setup? Is it worth the cost in terms on how far I can push my equipment. IF SO, what is recommended as far a parts?

Thanks..
 
If you're running two seperate loops, you could use the same res and radiator. Using the same res wouldn't be too much of a problem if you built your own, but using the same rad would require some significant plumbing work.. ie a couple of Y splitters etc..
 
that seems like a lot of overkill, but for 400 you can easily make two separate loops. you wont need huge pumps for either since theyll be small loops, you can get away with a Hydor L20 on the GPU, L35 on the processor. blocks, the CPU is good as a DangerDen TDX, i have no idea about GPU. a bonneville for the CPU and a single 120 rad (like DangerDen sells) would be good.
 
i dont think running dual watercooling loops is necessary unless your cooling some thermoelectric units or something. just get a strong pump, big radiator, high flow fans, and you should be ok cooling the gpu and cpu on the same loop. i cool the cpu/gpu/nb on the same loop and i use a koolance :p not exactly high end water cooling. also, you can probobly do all this for less than 200$, so although your willing to spend 400$ towards this, you wont need to spend anywhere near that much.
 
So is there considerably more overclocking that can be done with a two set up with two different pumps and is the cost more expensive than one setup with a higher flow?

one setup with higher flow should be better.
