Is this too extreme...

[EvilSponge]

Hello all,

Has anyone done three loops?

Loop 1: CPU

Loop 2: mosfet/NB/SB

Loop 3: Graphics card(S)

Can a 700W OCZ supply handle it?

BTW we finally go a cool day in Florida today thanks to a tropical storm my temps with an ambient of 75F are 35,36,33,32 Q6600 @ 3.6gHz just amazing also put two PCI slot fans around the GTX brought temps down allot

Nah, not too extreme. I've seen a few tri loopers on XS; just gotta be prepared for case mods.

 

[EvilSponge]

Yeah not afraid of case mods just wondering if three loops is too much. Two loops would be more manageable.

Nine loops -

Power supply
CPU
Hard drive backplanes
GPU
XOR processor (storage)
VRM
Northbridge
Southbrige
System Memory

Actually not loops in the sense of atypical watercooling pc style. A water chiller supplies a circulating loop and each supply/return is fed to discrete parts as outlined above. Temperature controllers taking 100 samples/sec using the familiar proportional integral derivative (PID) scheme would control continuously variable rotating ball valves on each line as well as the balance feed on the chilled water pump to keep the pressure regulated.

Now that sounds like fun! 😉

Ruby, you're crazy. I've set up less complex cooling schemes for multi-million dollar machine shops.

Crazy would be haveing 3 phase change units or more.

I've seen four on some crossfire or sli benching rigs.

LOL Ruby I'm a hobbyist with finite resources 🙂. I will agree sure does sound like fun. Well I think the best approach is start with two monitor those temps if it needs more then we move to three.
