Walter cooling pump

[Evakuierter]

Hi,

i just wanted to ASK wahr would happen if you added a second pump into your water cooling loop. I mean not same type of pump but a different one with different specs. 

Thanks you for your time.

You will burn one up.  You are creating resistance.  You need to run them in a series and be the same RPM/Flow.

As said it's not recommended to use different pumps in series as you will be forcing one pump or the other, while it can work it's not ideal.

Hi!

 

But what about using 2 pumps with the same specs? I mean, I was planning to use 2 D5 pumps.

 

The idea I had was to connect both pump outlets to a small reservory with multiple inlets and outlets, then from one outlet in that reservory send a line to the motherboard/cpu block and the other one to the gpu 1 & 2, and finally join the outlets from mobo/cpu and gpus with a T to the first rad and follow the loop.

 

To clarify: P1 & P2 > small res acting like a distribution plate > 1st outlet to mobo/cpu > 2nd outlet to gpu 1 + gpu 2 > join these outlets to rad 1 > rad 2 > 2nd "normal" reservory > return again to P1 & P2.

 

Will this work? Will have any performance or I should go instead for a serial dual pump housing?

 

Thanks in advance.

Two pumps in series will help in terms of pressure but splitting your flow between the GPU and CPU isn't really necessary especially since the restriction between those block will need to be similar to ensure even flow.

Even one pump can move a ton of water. My D5 runs at 30% RPM with two 360 rads, a cpu block and gpu block. You dont need a second pump if your first one is decent.
