TT Core P5 dual system mod.

[dave909904]

My current plan is to mount both boards opposite one another, one with the IO to the right and one to the left. Both systems would be cooled on one big loop. There would be a 480mm radiator, both PSUs, front panel IO for both, and storage in a shroud in the bottom of the case (maybe hdds inside and some ssds in a nice little LED enclosure at the top?) The reservoir would be on either  the top or front of the shroud, depending on how much clearance there is on one side vs the other. There would be fans on the front and back of the shroud. I would integrate a hole into the sides of the cable part of the case  (for back panel IO) which would run down to the bottom of the case. The internal usb, etc would have the same thing except both boards would share the holes. I can't test anything because I don't have the case atm.

 

Could this mod potentially work? Or am I overlooking something important?

that would work, but having a way to quickly disconnect 1 system from the loop (for maintenance) should be addressed

Quick disconnects are amazing inventions.

Good idea.

Adding onto this, run the loops in parallel in addition to QD fittings. Sure, it means having to use a DDC instead of a D5 or somesuch, but it means that during the course of servicing one system, you can still utilize the other for troubleshooting, background music, Overwatch, etc.
