Is it advisable to water cool dual processors. I was thinking of getting an external corsair hyracool 200 (i'm not concerned with noise). From what i understand I'd just place another water block in the series. Wouldn't doing this make the 2nd processor in the series run much warmer?

Any advice is great. I can't do an internal setup as I have no room (see my other thread) and want to lower my temps some. They are ~45-50 right now

i've been wondering about that myself for some time. it should increase the temp of the water a lil bit, but i dont think it would affect the performance of the cpu or make it run too hot either.

With a pump fast enough the water temps will be pretty consistent throughout the system. As such, you won't notice much, if any of a heat difference between the two processors. The pump in that corsair system should be good enough for that. The only impact having two processors will have is just raise the water temp slightly, meaning everything cooled by it will be slightly warmer. This seems like a good idea for a 2 processor system - much better at keeping that heat out of the case (it'd also solve your temp problems from the other thread).
