Hello everyone. Currently I plan to build a PC with a custom liquid cooling loop and after reading guides regarding that theme there were still some unanswered questions. Since I am building 2 way SLI RIG I thought he will need more cooling power which meant for me more liquid, which will require more reservoirs. The question is should I get 2 reservoirs if I plan to wire the loop to 2 GPUs and CPU? Is it worth it?


I will really appreciate any help you can provide.

Reservoirs don't contribute to cooling. If you are concerned about spending the extra money in your loop, consider pump or radiator upgrade instead of another reservoir. If you are running dual loops, you would possibly need 2 reservoirs, but this isn't a necessity. You can easily run a watercooling loop without a reservoir at all and if you build it properly for the correct TDP of your hardware this shouldn't be an issue. Reservoirs allow for air to dissipate out of your loop and allow for easy filling and maintaining water levels. Take a read through the watercooling sticky if you have more questions, then feel free to come back with any new concerns.

really i have seen people just add a Y fitting with some tubing so some there fluid level no RES. you don't need two separate loops also. i run my CPU, and 660ti sli and 3rads with one loop and a 100ml res. so it really depends on how much space and money you have to spend
