hey guy
i'm build my new pc and i don't know what kind of loop to go for?
this is the part i be using
bitpower fitting, two danger den -RAD-Reservoir, two swiftech quad MCRx20-XP "eXtreme Performance" Radiator, two swiftech MCP655-B pump.
i like to make this loop as nice i can get without so much tubing.
i like the single loop but don't know what to do if i have 2 radiator in the setting up and with all my part are two ea
i like the dual loop but that will be so much tubing and it may not look good.
i have a danger den Double Wide 29 tower, it is big
thx for reading my post
have a nice day guys

Just an example but this is dual loop and the tubing is clean.Also it has 2 reservoirs, 2 pumps,2 Radiators 420 and 280 both with push pull fans and it even has a dual bay res as a fill point in the front.
Just some ideas


Hope this helps a little.

I personally like the single loop look for 99% of builds. The 1% exception, is the type of build pictured right above. A TRUE, full mod build. Then multi-loops might work(and in this case, it really looks great.)
But for me, Someone who likes a clean, tidy, neat and nice rig which is watercooled, I like the single loop. I think Multi-Loops should only be used when 1)It will be neater than doing a single 2)the rest of the PC is top notch and deserves a multi-loop setup.
Ill get a row of better pictures, but for now this is what I have of my rig, single loop.(The white thing in the lower left corner is a power meter, I was curious was it pulled at full tilt when I was done building her)

dual loops are nice to "separate" heat, i use it because i have component that make a loooot of heat.
1st loop the 2 gtx590 (overclocked)
2nd loop the nforce 780 and the q9550 (at 4.2ghz the heat deployed is insane)
of course the most important is to separate the radiator unless double loop will be useless as radiator will eat the heat of other one.
exemple on my config loop 1 radiator are below computer double 3x12 and loop 2 is a 9x12 external semi passive on the desk.
bad side is that you will need loooot of place (LD cooling make some nice case lol) and 2 pumps (that might make noise too)
next step for me will be Helia cooling on my upcoming i7

One pump's plenty and doesn't matter what order you place your blocks/radiators in as far as flow rate is concerned.
