Posted September 13, 2017 I built a desk from scratch with the intent to put two systems inside and water cool both with one loop. I'm pretty new to the liquid cooling game, but I'm not planning to overclock at all so I'm hoping it's not the worst idea ever. The problem I keep running into is that neither system stays on long enough to even post. I got some advice elsewhere online that the water isn't flowing fast enough, so I've added 3 pumps; 2 Swiftech MCP355s and a Laing DDC 3.25 but still no dice. In the pic, the grey boxes are the pumps, the blue lines are the hoses and the arrow is the flow direction. Am I beyond help here?

Posted September 13, 2017 Watercooling usually would only be if you WERE overclocking, otherwise its just a really expensive aesthetic (I guess noise as well if you want things to run quiet) I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself FULL PC SPECS ON PROFILE https://linustechtips.com/main/profile/454099-thinkfreely/ Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/834519-desk-pc-problem/#findComment-10430344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can have one system down while you fix the other one, and if whole loops fail both of your PC will be down. It would increase the cost (double) for your loop. Magical Pineapples
