    How to setup these loops

    I'm slowly getting all the parts for my ATCS 840 build. But have some questions about how I should setup my loops. I originally planned on using one large loop with a radiator between each component, but I'm starting to lean towards 2 loops. (wifes not gonna be happy about me spending more though )

    I Currently have a MCR320 and MCR220 on hand and I found a cheap Black Ice Pro Radiator (120m) I'll be installing as well. I'll be going with 1 or 2 MCP355 pumps with XPCS res tops. If I do decide to go with one pump how would it handle this many blocks and rads?

    Pump/res >> MCR320 >> CPU Block (HK LC or Supreme LT) >> MCR220 >> GPU WB >> BIP Rad >> NB Block >> Mosfet Block(s) >>

    Was going to direct you over to that ATCS 840 vs cosmos s thread, but seen you already found it

    What is your CPU and GPU, and how many GPUs? The loop order doesn't matter, just run it so you use the least amount of tubing.

    You might be ok with one loop, but might not be a bad idea to look into 2 loops.

    I guess knowing this parts would be important. I7 and 4890. One GPU for now, Then I'll grab a 2nd 4890 when ATI drops their new GPUs later this year.

    Gosh a 320 and 220 is all you really need. 320 for the CPU and the 220 for the GPU unless your going for world class OC on the GPU. And yea, two loops. And which i7? You can make a sig like many of us have.
    All stock for now, no need for more, but it's gonna be soon methinks.

    Ya, I know, but there was space for another rad so why not make use of it

    I plan on driving up to the DC area and getting a I7 920 D from microcenter after getting the case put together. I'll start a thread on the build shortly.
