CPU in Parallel With GPUs

[Philz69]

Hey guys!

So i really wanted to run my CPU in parallel with my GPUs in my loop, but im really wondering if the cpu will get enough flow to stay cool ( i think it will ). I was wondering if anyone have done this already, and if so what kind of temps they were getting!

I basically would run it like this

You can do it as others have done it, Ideally the GPU blocks would be more flow restrictive than the CPU block making the flow rate to the CPU a little higher.

 

EDIT:

​The resection would be perfectly balanced through all the blocks.

I don't know much about watercooling.But I think it should be fine as long as you've got a good pump... I recall Linus saying that whatever order you put the components, there may be at most a few degrees difference.

I've seen several systems like this and they seem to run fine. For the most part, parallel and serial are the same temps wise.

I would make the intake on the bottom GPU and the exhaust on the CPU waterblock or the other way around. This concept helps when running voltages along a string of parallel wires which induce a voltage drop and getting the voltage across each device (assuming the same resistance) will be roughly the same.

If this is done I want pictures because I think that would look hella sexy with hardline tubing.

Your set up, this is all I have to say: Pfpppfpfpff that's going to be hard to run, but its doable. You will want a powerful pump, but with flowrate being your main priority. The problem with parallel cooling systems is that the water will always want to flow in the path of least resistance, so when it does this it means that your other components won't get water flow. Luckily most waterblocks are restrictive enough to make it to where if you have enough pressure and flow, it will still provide flow to other components, but like I said it won't be easy to do. Bleeding this shouldn't be too much of an issue, but unlike "series" systems you will want to do it while the system is powered off, cause the CPU will be starved of water for a while. Honestly a D5 pump should be able to run this, but you will want to run it at a fairly high speed, and they kinda get loud when you do this.

You're fine. The temperature difference on two points in any custom loop is within margin of error since the fluid is moving so fast. Just make sure you get a powerful enough pump so it's able to pump all the way up to the CPU and keep everything moving.

IMO that window cut needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Stay tuned in my buildlog, its going to happen!

Thanks guys! I am deffinitively going to do it, i really dont think the cpu will overheat anyway, i have a i7 4770 right now, so its only running at 3.9ghz, its not unlocked

i'll update you guys when i get my parts!

[Philz69]

Gosh, i litteraly get answered faster then i can finish typing my replies! This forum is just insanely friendly! I was really thinking that at the flowrate of the available pumps, wether i get 1/3 of the flow in each, wouldnt really change the temps much! 

Do any of you guys know a good place to buy used watercooling parts? I seem to just not be able to find any!

Oh my GOD that looks SO GOOD.

Not my work... if it was it would've been plasma cut not with a dremel probably.

IMO I would NEVER buy a used watercooling part. Do you know what was put through it?

I bought a GPU and a Mobo, Did i know what had been done to them? No. I saved money, im only 16 years old and paying this ALL out of my pocket, saving 200$ on a watercooling loop is something im def willing to do!

I did, I traded a mac pro from 2006 for what is now my rig (just the case and watercooling) and this thing hadnt been cleaned in FOUR YEARS. It was running a core2 quad at a screaming 5ghz.

You guys have to agree its going to be hella clean, i dont really like that build but the tubing looks so damn sexy!

Here's another one, im going for this kind of looks!

I like it! My current build is stupid because I dont have a 2011 block yet so the double and triple 120mm radiators are all cooling a single GPU. Needless to say, the GPU stays rather cool...

but the lines are slightly off parallel on the gpus and is really pissing me off.

I just checked with my gpu water block and it is in PERFECT line with the cpu socket and my h100i i have in there!

This makes me really happy for some reasons

This may depend on the CPU block your using, On my EK Supremacy EVO it has a in and out with the with the flow designed to work best going in that one direction, not sure it would work properly with that water block.

The water still goes in the left and out the right!

Then I'd probably work fine.

Or not, i just realised i had taken the measurement with the block upside down
