i have 900d case and 2xradiator 480+cpu waterblock+2xgpu waterblock
and i have buy this res and pump

i want to know if i need one more RES

also if i need Fitting Extenders

and if u have any plan how to build this and make it cool

thx for help and again sry for my english

Are you going to be running 2 loops or 1?

manofchalk · Aug 18, 2014

Reservoir volume doesnt matter unless your talking literal buckets.
We need more info if you want answers to the rest of your questions.

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

I guess the thread title does state dual loops, so yes, I would assume you'd want 2 reservoirs. Also, why such a large reservoir? Reservoir volume isn't going to help cooling capability.

Have you read through the watercooling sticky?

i just want 2 loops so u can give me the best reservoire for my 900d and that dual pump

what info u need

1. flow order, a diagram of the loop in the case. A parts list even...

2. Literally any, the reservoir is one of the few components in a computer that has no impact to performance. Get whatever works well in terms of routing and what you like the look of.

im asking about res because i want one can give me 4x1/4 because of 2 loops

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

You are wanting to share a single reservoir across 2 loops? You can, but volume doesn't impact cooling ability. Upside to sharing a reservoir is that you share the cooling ability of both loops across all radiator cooling surface. Downside, you share heat from both loops across all cooling surfaces. If you want to share a single reservoir for both, that one will work as it has 4 ports.

Also, the pumps you have listed above run in serial, aka, they both are in the same loop, not running separate loops.

no not in serial

G1/4 inlets x 2 / G1/4 outlets x 2

do i have to buy another res or what ? and if i buy one more res how i can install them in 900d ?

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

Yes, the pumps are in serial:

FrozenCPU.com now offers the Bitspower Dual D5 Mod Top Extreme fully installed with both pumps of your choice and ready to go!
The Bitspower Dual D5 Mod Top Extreme combines the power of two D5 / MCP655 pumps and puts them in series. This gives you the sheer power of the best pumps on the market with the least pressure drop available. The one piece design ensures minimal number of seals as well as a solid construction. The perfectly CNC machined surface is gorgeous! The unit has dual IN and dual OUT ports for maximum flexibility. A pair of G1/4 stop fittings are included as well.

The reservoir, yes, has 4x G 1/4 ports. Buying another reservoir is your choice, but please explain why you feel one way or another. This thread is starting to feel like a 'just tell me what to buy' thread, instead of understanding the mechanics of what you need and why you might need it.

i have bad english thats why :d

but i have all things i need to do watercooling i just ask if i need one more res because one res well look ugly if i choose to put him in 2 loop u know because i well use 4x1/4 out and in
so i ask again what u think i buy same res or better iof i buy 2 other res small ones ?
and also extention fittings do i need them ? or not

sry again for my english

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

These are only questions you can answer...which is why you need to understand what your loop (or loops, if doing 2x) need based on what you want. I don't understand how one reservoir would be ugly? Again, buying 1 or buying 2 - you can do either. It just depends on what you want to do and what your expectations are and budget is.

Do you have two, 480 radiators? Why would you run dual loops with such a large radiator on your CPU only?

GQmer Nomi · Aug 18, 2014

rubix_1011 :

cpu + 2xgpu
pump 1 to rad to cpu to res

pump 2 to rad 2 to 2xgpu to res

the question is simple do i need to buy one more res and what res well looks good in my 900d
because if i use just one res it well be ugly because the res well take 2 tube in and 2 tube out
and the budget desnt matter

d u get me ?

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

The pumps you listed are serial pumps, meaning they both run in the same loop, one after another. You cannot run dual, dedicated loops with them. You would need 2 separate pumps, or a similar setup that allows you to run the pumps separately. This pump combo doesn't appear to allow that.

As for the additional reservoir question: I don't consider a single reservoir ugly, so it is a matter of preference. This really shouldn't be a matter of looks...it should be a matter of performance and cost. If you want 2 reservoirs, then get another one. Simple as that.

I still don't think you need to use a 480 radiator for your CPU only. Why not a 240 or 360...why a 480?

The 480 for your 2 GPUs is a good idea.

I still am saying that all of these questions can be answered by yourself if you understood what you needed for your loop...not just asking complete strangers what you should spend your money on without knowing why. You could easily have someone that has no knowledge give you incorrect information and you would end up making purchases that you wouldn't otherwise be making if you knew why.

thx i understand
is 480 well be not good for cpu or what ?
but this pumps can be in dual loop look
The unit has dual IN and dual OUT ports for maximum flexibility

rubix_1011 · Aug 18, 2014

Those ports are to allow you to mount fittings to best suit the SERIAL layout of the pumps. That pump/top combo is only meant to be run in a single, serial loop, not separate loops.

I have helped as much as I can in this thread. It seems obvious that my advice to help you with your questions as well as to help you seek your own knowledge are being cast aside. It also seems you have come here with the intention to only ask complete strangers what you should buy without any regard of what might be correct for your system or preferred setup. Watercooling is a hobby and solution that truly is beneficial if you take the time to completely understand what you are buying, why you are buying it and with the know-how of how to install and maintain the solution. Again, I VERY STRONGLY recommend reading through the watercooling sticky & FAQ as it should be able to help answer a lot of your questions and give you an idea of what to expect.

Good luck in your build.
