hello iam fixing to order all my stuff and trying to figure out how iam gonna set it up.
i thought maybe this would work res. pump, rad then use a y to split the 1/2 line goto the cpu and vid card. then y it back toghter to one line then to res...

would this hurt the cooling to the cpu or vid since its split line
what iam going to buy is this
DD tdx 478 block or would u recommend the RBX block
DD double heatercore with shroud and 2 120 fans
DD poly res
ehiem 1250 pump
tygon 1/2 tubing
as far as coooling my 6800 ultra extreme iam thinking of going with either DD or the swiftech MCW50 since its only about 50 bucks DD 125 ..
what do u guys think of this set up any thing diff u would do and on the cpu block and vid block what would u pick
 
i dont mind it not being simple..
i just figured both would get coolest water possible
if i run it through cpu then vid that water is gonna be warmer
ir i 'Y' it split it both would get coolest water possible from heatercore right
 
Yeah do the blocks inline instead of the Y. The Y is very unreliable in splitting the flow evenly.

If you get the swifty Vid card block get some copper ram sinks for the ram on the card. The DD one is a big mother that covers the ram. Ive heard that the size and weight of the DD one can bend the card but have no firsthand knowledge, just what Ive heard.

I like their price on that eheim pump. You will need a 12V converter for the pump IF you want it to be powered by your PSU. You can buy DDs PCI converter card or go to radio shack, get a 110/120 to 12V converter for 5 bucks, and do all the wiring yourself.

true, the water will be marginally cooler than an inline system. but each block is only getting half the flow, even if you do somehow get it to divide evenly. that'll harm your performance a lot more than the 2-3*C increase in water temp.
 
ok guys thanks i dunno i was just thinking it would work both vid and cpu getting coolest water instead of going over one then the other ..
thats how ill set it up inline
