Watercooling Is a single D5 pump enough?

I'm going to be doing a major revamp of my build this week. I have a Koolance RP-452x2 dual reservoir and have been looking at the option of running two pumps in serial using the 180 degree adaptor that Koolance provide separately (shown in the second picture)







This, in effect uses two pumps to drive a single loop, which I figured might be handy seeing as I will be cooling 3 x 580's in parallel (which I know requires more pressure than serial), aswell as the CPU, whilst negotiating a pair of RX360 radiators.

Opinions would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

 

If you don't have motherboard blocks and you run the cards in parallel then a single pump would be OK. If you also have motherboard blocks it'll be borderline. If you run the cards in serial then I think you'd need another pump.

2 Pumps would give you redundancy though.

 

Cheers. I don't have motherboard blocks and have no intention of running the GPU's in serial, but based on what you have said, it seems I would be on the edge of what a single pump can handle. I'm probably leaning towards dual pumps.

 

Of topic, but that dual pump/res assembly is sexy.

 

Yeah the Koolance reservoirs are lovely. Infact so is all Koolance kit lol.

 

So expensive though

 

A useful tool for getting a rough idea is Martins Rad Optimiser spreadsheet If it doesn't have the components you use then pick similar ones.

 

It's a price I'm happy to pay.

 

And Bitspower fitting are cheap?
Koolance don't seem that expensive, maybe a £10 premium on some items.

 

Lol, no, but I love my current res Will look awesome with Mayhems Aurora...

 

The galaxy one? I've looking at pastel blue or the Deep blue dye. Hwwaaarrrr....

 

I will most likely have a Koolance RP450x2 for sale within the next week if you are interested?

 

Ooooh, I'd love to, but no

 

Those mayhems dyes are not for 24/7 use though are they. Pretty sure i read its just demo runs etc
