H70 and H60(or H80) together?

[TwgNozzy]

So i apolegise for my other Post and it's words.

back to the orginal question.

I got an Corsair H70 currently running on my CPU but i want to make a little project. I want to make the closed cooler to an Custom loop by replacing the tubing and adding a Resoair. Also, i want to add a second closed cooler. The second cooler is going to be hooked up on the graphic card. (i've done this before and got amazing results)

I found a cheap h60 and a cheap H80 which where both in great condition and one of them is the second which i want to add. Now, what i am curious about is:

1. will the pumpspeed of the H70 be interfeering with the pump speed on either the H60 or h80?
2. Which one should i buy between those two?
3. Is there a limit on how big Res i can have?
4. Is the "fittings",like the were the Tubes are connected to the Radiator, can i use the again or do i have to make holes and buy new once?
5. If i need to buy new fittings, would i regret if i cheap out on them? *

i think that's all. The reason i want to do this project is because it's relatively cheap and if all goes well, it would look awsome :3

Thanks for any Awnsers

Not an expert on water cooling, but here are my thoughts.

1> Differences in pump speeds in a sealed system may result in one or more pumps getting starved of water, and this can burn up the pump, as most designs use the water to cool the pump as well as the component. (This is a similar setup with a automobile fuel pump, which is why auto techs advise against driving on fumes; it kills the pump, and many are a messy and lengthy repair.) If you have a decent sized reservoir, though, there should always be a surplus of water to feed the pumps.

2> IMO, it is better to have more cooling capacity than you need, instead of shorting yourself. I would take the better of the two.

3> Not sure there is a limit in reservoir size other than what will fit into your system. Lay knowledge of thermodynamics would indicate the bigger the reservoir, the more volume of water you have to disperse heat into, which means the longer you can keep temps down if the system can't shed excess heat quickly enough. I believe this condition is called heat soak.

4> I would think the current fittings have holes you can use, but you may need to tap and seal in new necks to take custom tubing.

5> Yes. Cheaping out on fittings is asking for leaks, air infiltration, contamination, algae/mold growth, and male-pattern baldness.

thank you for your awnser.

1. i'm not sure if i wrote it the way i should but question nr.1 were ment as ; iare the pump speed simelar to eatchodder?

2. then i'll decide on future awnser of the new question nr.1

3 i have an Corsair Air 540 case, so i size won't be a problem i think 😀

4. can i use "seal paste" like an paste you use to seal water etc. ?

5. Thank you, i will not Cheap out on them then, if i have to buy some that is.

again, thanks for awnsering

I cannot find any specs on the pump speeds, Corsair seems to be rather tight-lipped on that.

Seal paste, pvc glue, thread tape, as long as it seals.
