loop question

[shawnlizzle =]]

okay, thinking about my future loop, cooling a 3700 san diego and a r520(crosses fingers!.... but then again... inside deal ;D) and imma buy 2 heater cores from danger den for my loop(yes its an over kill, but still!). okay, i need you ppl's insight on wether the performance difference(if any) of runnign two loops, one for cpu and one for gpu on different heater cores over runnign everything in one loop. also, does it justify to buy another pump. other than that, i was thinking about a hybrid mix of the two like, pump>cpu>HC1>gpu>HC2>res>pump.... so comments?

It's best if you have 2 pumps, or 1 REALLY powerful pump, because 2 heatercores requires a lot of pressure and waterflow.

2 separate loops with moderate powered pumps is probably the best, that's what i'm getting. Anyways example what i'm getting is

-Black Ice Pro 2 radiator-Hydor L35-cooling Venice 3000+ with a MCW6002-64.
-Thermaltake's Bigwater radiator(i know i know, but i'm getting an incredible deal on it)-Hydor L30-cooling GPU with a MCW50.

whats the bare minimum pump for a maze 4 and a heater core?

Hydor L20, but I'd recommend the L30.

okay, i'm not too sure of how i should go here, two loops with aquaxtreme 50z and a hydro l35 or a iwaki 20rl?, the iwaki has about 14 feet of head or 8 gpm either way.

or iwaki 20 rlzt which has way more head pressure, but the max flow is down to 2.9 gpm

other thing is, how much performance gain would i see with 2 (dual) heater cores over 1 dual heater core

wait... L35 for 2 dual heater cores??? no way duuude, thats not enough, i'm talking about either iwaki 20 rlt or iwaki 20 rlzt, both have incredible head pressure and flow rates

errrm... it draws like 450 watts? i could build a water chiller with a compressor that large! lol

Get your pump/s from an aquarium shop. They are 1/3 the price and higher quality.

Where do you live? If your in the states you can try Walmart, but any pet store that deals with saltwater or freshwater fish will have them,
