me?  I vote single loop for simplicity.  There are performance gains from individual loops because hotter components won't bleed their excess heat into other components, but if I were you, I would start with simple.  1 loop.  only way for you to know, is to try it yourself by isolating components with loops.  Maybe after every component, let the runoff go into a radiator. 

the full coverage block looks good.  They are very easy and 1 shot does it all for all the chipsets.


I havent tried mixing and matching gpu's in Win 7, but I know you cannot do it in Vista

i may consider buying a second 5970 to be honest. but at the moment i have a 5870 and i want a 5970 for the eyefinity support, since crossfire isn't supported but suprisingly the 5970's unboard "crossfire" is.

i also vote single loop as being easier
and multiple loops for the for the advanced...cost far more, but can be regulated a bit easier. more cooling on cpu and less on gpu..keeping condensation in a controllable range.(speculation of course)

single loop it is, what would you recommend to route everything? 2 rads are in front, one is in the back.

I thought Nate would appreciate the large copper block which I picked up for dirt cheap ($3.50/lb... I think that is cheap?) as scrap at a local metal dealer...


AND what the hell is this thing?!  you STILL haven't told us how its going to work!

I think I am going to put johns phrase in my signature.

if you don't...you tend to have the word/forum police on your back...rotflmao
thinking your opinion is some world wide fact you stated to be true, without a doubt...(that kills me every time..that's why the speculation phrase)

cause 3 gpus is more than 2..


mix match gpus in the world of benching...pretty much a no go..where do you fit in at?
unless your benching a game or vantage using an nvidia card for physx or your just gaming and want 3 gpus...
although i could be wrong...they may have that category somewhere...

side note:
5970 water block


Its not really mixing GPUs as they are all the same core
and at the bot you would go into the multi GPU section, it is quite possible to do


@nateman.. did you read my specs?
