Kandalf LCS & TMG ND4

[Nick_]

I just purchased a tmg nd4 and will be implementing it in a kandalf LCS solution. Where would you recommend implementing it in the loop?

???Which senerio best fits???

Pump -> CPU -> VGA -> Radiator -> Tank
(downside warm water gets passed to VGA)

or

pump -> CPU -> Radiator -> VGA -> Tank
(downside warm water gets passed to CPU)

or

Is it really necessary to purchase an additional radiator to go between the VGA block?

It is recommended that you install a 2nd radiator for best performance, but not absolutely necessary as long as you have a good radiator.

Placement in the loop is optional. Some people prefer to put the gpu in the loop before the cpu, thus the gpu gets the best cooling. Other people will tell you to put the cpu in loop first, so that it gets the best cooling. It all depends on your desires. Do you wish to cool the gpu or cpu more?

Personally, I do not recommend putting warm water to either the reservoir or the pump. I always put a radiator before the reservoir.

Appreciate the reply. I figure I will try Pump -> CPU -> VGA -> Radiator -> Tank and see how the temps are. If they are unacceptable, I'll pick up another radiator.

Thanks...
