    Exclamation Using two radiators...??

    alrighty... when using two radiators what is the best way route the liquid and use both radiators? here is how i believe it could be done: from the 1st radiator to the cpu, the cpu to the north bridge, the north bridge to the 2nd radiator, the 2nd radiator to the gpu, the gpu to the liquid resivor, the liquid resivor to the pump, then the pump to the 1st radiator. suggestions on routing something like this would be greatly appreciated because i am tottaly a newb at this stuff :p

    Thanks a ton!

    Interesting way......

    If this was to all be done internally, then you need quite a big case to fit all of that in...

    Well.... the method you suggested sounds like that, that's the best thing to do.

    You may want to consider adding a second pump somewhere in the mix there, probably before entering the second radiator. Your pressure drop from going to block to block would require a lot of work for a single pump to handle.

    TribalOverkill is building Blackout with two radiators, you may want to go over his worklog if you haven't already, he's got a pretty neat solution.

    two pumps...alright! well, then should i use two smaller pumps (like THIS) but then again are 2 radiators really going to help in performance gain?

    Rankenphile: YES!! i love his blackout mod! it is deffinetly one of the best mods i have looked at! and its killing me to wait for his next major update on it .

    public_eyesore: the case should be big enough (but i will definetly keep in mind what you said ) because i am going to mount the 2nd radiator on the outside of the back of the case (unless people tell me otherwise) and the first radiator in the inside of the case but befor i make any final decisions on buying things i will definetly make sure that it will all work out

    Thank you guys very much for your opions/suggestions/corrections! they are very much so appreciated

    ok the outside mounting should work, its just that i have that case and its not much bigger than a normal one.
