two pumps in series -

so long story short im redoing my water loop... my current loop sucks ass...

 

i already have two D5 / MCP655 pumps, so i was thinking i might aswell run them in series with something like this

a couple questions though...

 

1) aslong as the 1st pump is set to the same or higher speed and the 2nd pump it is feeding it should be fine right? or do they have to be set to the 'exact' same RPM

 

2) what are the advantages of running two pumps in series? besides reliability... will it push more water? i.e. i can set the pumps at a lower RPM to make it quieter and still be pushing the same amount of fluid as one pump at a higher RPM?

I really don't know if theres much sense running two pumps in one Loop but I guess it won't affect the total RPM much since a PC Loop isn't that big of a deal for a pump

I don't think there's anything to gain at all. The total flow will be limited by the slowest pump. If a pump fails I'm not sure the fluid would still flow through the loop?

 

If you're concerned about a pump dying, just get a flow indicator, but theyre pretty reliable

two in parallel do nothing for you, but in series you can lower the RPM of each pump, and if one dies you'll always have the second!

 

you can set both pumps to the same RPM, and they will create more push than two in parallel. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

yeah, i was really thinking of just doing one pump, my only thought was that if it could be quieter because i could set them at a lower RPM and still be pushing a reasonable amount of water threw them... and i already have the two pumps...

If you have 2 pumps you could make 2 loops, just an idea ;)
