Questions about Loops

[W.Feather]

Ive got a few general questions, dont know them all but i know ill have em.....here is the few ive got right now though:

1) For GPU's in a 2 GPU system is it better to do Parallel or Serial for the flow? I'm looking at using one of these: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ridge_DUAL_Parallel.html?tl=g30c101s873#blank


and as such I cannot figure out the difference, the main down side I can imagine is lower water pressure ......

2) For use with the above, they should be compatible with the new gen of video cards correct? I'm guessing i'm probably better off waiting and seeing, but putting together an xmass list and figured one part i would put WCing stuff I need to finish the build with.

3) How does the above thing work? Does it work with any full cover block (i am sure I want full cover), or just with EK blocks?


Thanks

Is that whistling you breathing through your ears while asking questions?

1. Parallel would be better.
2. You're just looking at a valve. It's compatible with anything you use it with.
3. It's just a valve. Depending on which connections you connect input and output tubes to is what makes it a parallel or serial connector. It will work with any block. You can do exactly the same thing with tubing.

So i'd be better off to get the one i linked to. And if I got it now, the 'Link" (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...K-FC_Link_R48X058X0.html?tl=g30c101s873#blank) things should be updated/work with new gen cards (thinking about 7970 to be exact)

Thoguht of another question:

For my loop I will be having the radiator a ways off from the PC/components itself, and ideally would like to have the ability to just remove the PC part on its own (upgrades/fixing the like), i was thinking some Quick Disconnects would be a good way to do this (mount one side of the connect to the case wall, ad the other to the outside line that goes to the radiator).

Is this what I need to be looking at? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...12_x_19mm_34VL4N-F13-19S.html?tl=g30c405s1025


Also i dont get your 1st remark, must be too tired

 

[Magnus]

Yes, Koolance has some of the best none leaking quick connects out there. Sorry about the remark, I was referring to the rapid fire approach to asking questions without seemingly taking a breathe. I'm a little punch drunk as I just came off a twelve hour shift.

 

[W.Feather]

ahh No worries then, i see it now


Is it just that end that i need/ or does it only have one of the 2 peices ? All the references to a male end that i can find @ frozen CPU is mainly for shutoff valves it looks like......is there a difference between the: VL2/VL3/VL3N/VL4 series ?

 

[Magnus]

Their site is a little confusing, at least in my current state, koolance.com has better descriptions. The difference between the different series is simply the diameter of the tubes they fit.

ahh, ok

for pumps is this a good one to get (i need the bit higher power I know that, and this is probably over kill by a bit)

http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...riable_Speed_Pump_-_HF_Top_Edition.html#blank

From what I can tell this is a D5 variant......with that i'm guessing one of the top copper "screws" is for a fitting....what about the two holes on the side ?

It's a good pump if a little pricey. The pump is attached to a valve block that appears to have two circuits. The site isn't very clear on that.

 

[W.Feather]

what do you mean by two circuits ?? I'm guessing your talking water circuits so it can go either out the top or the "front" ?
