Yep the GPU runs off the single rad. CPU and NB off of the Dual. During a run of Vantage I get temps of 30-32 for one GPU and the other runs 40-42. Not sure why the big difference but both run cool enough for me to not worry about it. The card is also OC'd to 700/1000. The CPU which is a Q6700@3.4 with 1.47v gets into the Mid to high 50's running prime.

Which is part of the CPU loop. The GPU loop runs to the single rad mounted on the back of the case. :thumb:

D: I fail.

I would guess that the single rad would do fine. Didn't notice the dual loop at first. My bad! :sad:

The flow goes past one gpu first and gets heated before hitting the second.


I thought about that, and I suppose it may be the case but I don't remember there being that big a difference when I was running a single loop. In any case, it's still running way cooler than it was on air.

yah, you might want to reseat that hotter gpu. I have 2 gtx 260's WC'ed and the second in the loop only runs a couple degrees hotter. But more likely it just errors in the temp sensors.

I think I'll just leave it for now. That too much effort for me for such little gain.:biggrin: I'm also wondering if it might be caused by the 90° fittings restricting the flow to the second GPU. Whatever the cause it's still not cause for concern.



Finch, thats exactly how I used to have my pump and res mounted. Part of the reason I decided on the T3 was because when I got my new HX 850 the tube going from res to pump would sit against it. With my old PSU there was enough room there for it.

Here is what it looked like before as a single loop.

Just one shot of my replumbed loop to include the GPU block.

Very similar indeed. my 2 scythe fans on the rad inside blew up just yesterday because of my scythe fan controller:blarg:. but before that my temps were very good despite the overclock
