Thoughts on dual loop TEC cooling.

[stateyournamehere]

I don't know if anyone has done this before but im thinking of using a Primochill Typhoon 3 to feed 2 loops, but with one of the loops being dedicated to TEC chilling.

Here is what i am thinking....

Loop 1
T3->CPU->Rad->back to T3 (on 1/2 tubing)

Loop 2
T3->Coolit Freezone-> back to T3 (on 1/4 tubing)

The idea being that the freezone chills the water and lowers the res temperature before it goes to the cpu and the rad cools the water down after the CPU before it goes back to the res. Running the freezone on 1/4 keeps the flow restricted so that it chills properly and running the CPU loop on 1/2 makes sure the CPU gets a good flow rate.

Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions on this??

That flowrate argument is flawed. The water may spend more time in the Freezone, but less water is able to get through where as 1/2in tubing would allow more water through. You'd most likely get the best temperature by doing:
Res => Rad => Freezone => CPU => Res as the water will be coolest when going into the CPU.

thnx, think ill just stay with straight wc i guess

What he said.

reducing the hose size would increase pressure would it not? Not allowing the water to sit on the tec long enough to do much?
