dual athlon mp

[Noxz]

ok....now i am totally new to water cooling...i am think of my rig to be set up this way: the pump is submereged into the resivour, it then does to a raditor, which then goes to the first cpu which is pelt cooled with a 72 watt TEC, then it goes to another radiator, then it goes to the 2nd cpu which is also pelt cooled, which then goes back to the resivoir??anyways...i plan on using a MSI K7D Master mobo with dual athlon mp 2000+. I am going t put a peltier on both of em, 72 watts each...i am going to have a cooler master atc-410 aluminum case, with a liek 500w power supply. I think im going to end up getting a geforce4 ti4600, which i may also water cool...and somewher around 1.5gb to 3gb of registered ddr ram..any sugestions would be apreciated...i may be on AIM right now to tell me a quick answer: hcpavw

don't use a submerged pump because it transfers the heat it makes pushing the water along the pipes into the water (not a good idea)

ok...but what about the rest of it?
resivour->pump->radiator->cpu1->radiator->cpu2->radiator->video card->resivour...
is 3 radiators alot?for a atc-410?i should have enough room
right?

what type of pump would you guys recomend then and what setup should i use for the 2 72 watt and 2 mp 2000+?

I don't think you really need to put the radiator between the two CPUs... With decent waterflow you should be able to go from CPU1 to CPU2 directly. Or if you are careful, you could split the line with a T to divert the flow to each CPU at the same time and have them return to the resivoir.

One big problem is the waterblock. There isn't much room around the dualie motherboards for large waterblocks, so before you order, make sure it fits your board!

yea and are you sure those 72 watters will be big enough for the cpu. and you are pelt cooling rads? thats probably not the most efficient way...

You'll get heat transfered to the coolant with both submerged and inline pumps.

1. resivour->pump->radiator->cpu1->radiator->cpu2->radiator->video card->resivour...
2. is 3 radiators alot?

1. That's an overly ambitious loop, IMO.
2. Yes.

I agree. This would probably be your best option.

True, you have to keep in mind that peltier ratings should not be considered equally or even closely proportional to the heat load your cpus will be putting off.

In all honesty, I don't forsee you doing any extreme overclocking with dual cpus and that much ram. Also, dual processor motherboards are generally produced with stability more in mind than cutting edge performance and overclocking.

A more reasonable initial setup, IMO, would be:

Pump -> CPU1 -> CPU2 -> Video -> Radiator -> Resivior

I think you should start off without the peltiers and mulitple radiators and see how that goes for starters. You can then add to the system as necessary. Just know that peltiers is opening up a whole new can of worms, and should probably be reserved until you've got a little more experience. You can, of course, dive right into the deep end. But, most people like to cut their teeth on plain water, then move from there if they decide that'd suit them.
