Dual Loop Cases

[Liam Tivey]

Hi all,

 

I currently have a Thermaltake P3 curved. I am looking at doing a dual loop setup but this case just isn’t the right fit. 
 

I just fancy the challenge. What’s the best looking case that is capable of dual loop? Any images would be helpful too!

 

thanks

depends on how many rads you need per loop. there lot of case that can do atlest 2 360mm rads.

Yup and how far you want to go in terms of looks. Any specific reason you want or need a dual loop setup, the extra hassle and added points of failure make it harder to justify.

There aren't so many cases with that look that can support more rads but you could get super creative and make a bracket yourself. You just have to get some sheet aluminium, a holesaw a metal file, and you can have another bracket to mount a second radiator. If you have a really good saw, attempt to work with industrial grade 4 to 5 mm thick aluminium. That stuff is strong enough and won't flex but you may need to use HSS bits. I build most of my motorcycle trailer out of that stuff. Hard to work with but so worth it in the end.

Thanks for the replies. It would be nice for 2x 360mm rads. However I expect that  I would have to go 1x 360 and 1x 240. I have a loop with a 2080ti waterforce wb that then goes to a 5950x.  GPU is always around 50 degrees Celsius. And the CPU is always around 90. I know I shouldn’t worry. But I’m a numbers guy. 
 

half of wanting the dual loop is the challenge. And it will be a few years until I upgrade components as they are obviously still capable bits of hardware. 
 

In terms of finding time to modify cases (which I would love the idea) I would never find time with work and kids! So a case that is capable would ideally be the preferred option

There's room left enough to put a second pump in my Pop Air XL. Would give you a 280 and a 360mm rad. Shortie pump on the rear 120mm mount would work like cake for a CPU loop I'd think.

ya the theory is if the hotter component dose not put the heat in for the cooler you should see lower temps...BUT the cost of a pump can be spent on a 3 rad and that will most likely lower temps more. but i still like duel loops myself.

 

and the cost to go wc will most likely cost more then replacing any of thows parts or all of it... in a few years... but still fun to do wc imo

 

i can list of some cases but there so many and the prices are inflated atm.

 

ya i dont no what you need in terms of rads to cool each part but more rad lower temps thow with diminishing returns

i would try negative curve optimizer on yer 5950 1st
