Pump Questions, CSP X2??

Ok, this was the setup I planned on running, http://www21.brinkster.com/tdginc/watercoolinglayout.JPG

But, I just relised, I am not going to be able to put two L30s in my case and have it look cool :-P

Any whoo, I was thinking about the CSP X2. It is a cool little pump that can be combined into to, like what I was origanally planning on doing. I would do everything the same as my current layout, but the pumps are smaller in size. Basicly have one pump, pump water to the CPU, and have the other, pump to the GPU, and have them meet togther before they hit the radiator.

How do you guys think it would work out? Or do you just think I should use the two L30s?

Thanks
 
sorry about the link, dont click on it, open up a new web browser and past in www21.brinkster.com/tdginc/watercoolinglayout.JPG
Thanks
 
Should work.

The extra fitting for constantly changing tubing size will hurt your flow rates, you might want to figure out how to get rid of some. Maybe even run two loops res>pump>GPU>rad>res and res>pump>CPU>res (no, it won't a big difference that only half the water goes through the rad).

Links worked for me. Oh, and it's a dual reservoir. A duel one would be constantly picking fights.:p
 
hehe, sorry about the grammer ^_^

But the two loops thign you mentioned is exactly what Im doing, lol. Im having one pump into the GPU and one pumping into the CPU, then they meet before the hit the radiator.
 
Ahhh, but you're joining the loops before the rad. I'm suggesting having the rad only on the GPU loop (or only on the CPU loop, depends on whether you want to maximize the CPU or the GPU). The rad will cause less restriction and you can use less fittings and adapters.
 
well, ive changed my cpu block, so the only coversions I have are on the GPU... Dunno why stupid BFG had to give 1/4 fittings for such a hot card (6800 Ultra OC to 470mhz)

But i keep chaning my mind with pumps, what pump do you guys recomend? I want somthing that has alot of power, yet is small, so I can have two, right next to each other, side by side, intake nozel facing front of case... (hehe kinda picky eh?)

If I only had the CPU or GPU going to the radiator, and the other just going to my res., that would just heat up all the water in the res, and higher temps all around...
 
Slightly higher water temps, but not something you'd notice (tenth of a degree maybe). Radiators aren't terribly sensitve to water flow rates, it's the temperature difference between water and air that counts. See here for performance examples.

In the res, the water cooled by the rad would mix with the water that bypassed it, so both branches of the loop would get the same temperature water, which means the rad will get the same temperature water whether from one block or two.

I think the c-systems pumps are a good plan.
 
Now this is going to sound crazy, but I think it would give the best performence.

Three Pumps.. We will call these pumps, P1, P2, and P3.

Two Reservoirs.. We wil call these reservoirs, Res.1, and Res.2

Res.2>P1>CPU>Res.1
Res.2>P2>GPU>Res.1
Res.1>P3>Radiator>Res.2

The box will be as heavy as hell, but it would be an awesome and unique setup!
 
What happens when pump three can't keep up with one and two combined, and all the water ends up in res1 ? :confused:

:)
 
well, after adding up all the money, i relized, "shit, wtf am I doing, I cant afford all of this!"

lol!

So im just going to get one pump, one resivoir, and have it go

Res>pump>cpu>gpu>rad>res

Cause the videocard im getting comes with a water block on it already and comes with a lifetime warranty (BFG 6800 Ultra OC WC) so i dont have to worry about its cooling issues, eheheh

But now I need to find one, high performence, good, long lasting, high flow pump ^_^, and suggestions?

Thanks for all your help so far man, you the only one whos been posting ^_^
 
I'm really fond of Swiftech's MCP600. It's small, quiet, produces a lot of pressure, and runs off your computer's power supply. Expensive though, ~75 dollars.

The C-systems pumps are good, too. So cute and tiny! One won't be quite as powerful as a MCP600, but they're half the price.

Ehiem 1250 is quiet and will run pretty much forever, but it doesn't have the pumping power of the MCP600 or C-systems.

Danner Mag3 has good power and low noise, but has known leaking/cracking problems with the inlet (easily fixed with silicon sealant).
 
How about the Danger Den D4, Ive read it does better then Swiftecs, all i need is a pump that will do great with PolarFLOs new CPU block. Also, if I were to get a C-Systems, I would get the two of em! :)
 
The D4 has got really good power. I've heard it's a bit noisier, has a whine with a really annoying pitch. Swiftech is supposed to be coming out with a quieter D4 version in a couple months.

Yeah, a D4 will do you good.
 
why not just run a single loop for your CPU useing a swifty or D4 or eheim
and use those little c-systems pumps in its own loop with a small 80mm rad on it?
