Dual GTS280's ?

[Nectolyt]

Hello, I'm planning to do a dual 280mm loop with the hardware labs black ice nemesis gts 280 or corsair xr5 but the liquid flow restriction is kinda high for one rad so two plus a CPU and GPU block could be bad. I am planning to use a DDC pump from the barrow CPU pump res combo so I would like to know if it is fine or I should search new radiators (no I can't fit the x flow in my case)

A DDC pump will be able to handle that just fine.

By just fine do you mean that it is at the limit or it can handle another gts 280?

It can handle much more.

Ok thank you!

I assume you're using a sff case right? 

 

if your budget allows it, have an additional ddc pump (from lowara / laing / xylem) ready in case the barrow pump motor fail

 

I have build a couple of sff sys for clients, barrow pump somehow has slightly higher failure rate.... or maybe it's just my bad luck 

 

oh get a barrow leak tester too, it help me a lot for my builds

Yes I am and thank you for your recommandations these will definitely help me

Flow restriction will almost always be of no concern in a "normal" build.

u can also check out optimum tech YouTube, he does a lot of sff builds
