2 videocard Water cool setup question.

[CompMage]

Ok I'm thinking of doing a 2 video card setup with a water cooling system. My question is. Is the system going to be able to handle the heat and extra flow.

Here's what I'm looking at. It's all 3\8th inch using Tygon. My main worry is the pump going to be able to handle that much load. I figured it would not be to much since it's all downhill from the prossessor. And most people WC thier chipset witch is 3 things but is not adding as much heat. I figured the Tank-O-Matic will help releave at lest some of the heat from the water. And I'll be running a 75%-Water 25%-Coolent

Back again.

Reason for the second video card is I want a 3 monitor setup as I use this box for just about everything from watching TV, Playing games, Video editing, Surfing the web.

Thanks tell me what you think of this setup. And if it will work.

Looks reasonable. The MCP600 handles high resistance loops very well, so it's a good choice. The Tank-O-Matic won't release a useful amount heat, but they do look damn good. As narrow as the RBX is, it can be a pain to mount. Considered the TDX?

The rad is the weak link. That's a lot of heat dissapation to demand of a single 120 rad. Switching to a dual 120 rad will bring your water temperature (and thus CPU, GPU temps) down by 5 or more degrees.

 

[stumpy]

Yeah, I'd definitely get rid of the BIX and get a heatercore or dual 120 rad... Should help out with your temps quite a bit.

why would you watercool a 9200 PCI? not only do they not get nearly hot enough to need active cooling in AGP, in PCI they dont do enough work to get even CLOSE.

 

[Stynger]

Was thinking the same as yourself when I added watercooling to my setup. And ended up coming to that the pci secondary card's heat isnt really that bad, and wanted to get the best flow I could out of the system.

Cool. After thinking about it that sounds like good advice. And do to case limitations that's the largest Rad I can use. Thus I'm using that massive resavor to help keep things cool.
