Hello,
I've also posted this thread in "Builds & Mods" section, but I've received no answer so far.
I'm a proud owner of an AIO Eisbaer 360LT CPU cooler, and recently I've come out with the ideea of expanding it. I had already customize it by replacing the tubes (with clear ones), the radiator (with an 360mm x 45mm one) and also added a reservoir, but now I want to make my GPU also watercooled.
Current situation: I want my GPU to be cooled by a waterblock (not AIO) and a second 360mm radiator. In my opinion, the pump on the Eisbaer is not sufficient for that kind of load, so I've ordered the Eisstation DC-Ultra incl. Alphacool DC-LT 2600 Ultra (pump and reservoir). This is the same pump (or should be) as the Eisbaer's. I've done this so I can have two options:
a) make a single loop, with the pumps running in serial, something like this: Eisstation - GPU block - 1st radiator - Eisbaer - 2nd radiator - return to Eisstation, or maybe like this: Eisstation - GPU block - Eisbaer - 1st radiator - 2nd radiator - return to Eisstation;
b) make two independent loops, but in this situation the Eisstation is placed at the bottom and the radiator at the top of the case, so there's a aprox. 450 mm gap between them, a GPU block and about 4 or 5 fittings at 90 degrees (the pump has a pressure head of only 600mm H2O, so I'd be kind of stretching it).
Question: Is it possible to run the pumps in serial? If yes, I must connect them to the same power header? (it's OK, my motherboard have a 25W waterpump header, more than enough for two 6W pumps). I know that by runing two pumps in serial increase the head (pressure) of the cooling fluid, but will it be enough?
I would like to make a single loop, otherwise there will be a mess of tubing in my computer......
Thank you for your help!
