Single water loop orientation advice required

[Bernard981]

Hey guys been reccomended to this part of the forum for advice on water loops 

 

I have a dell t7400 workstation with 2x intel x5472 that I have jerrie rigged water blocks onto its 771 socket mountings which seems to work fine, it has 3x 120mm fan and rads for cooling all put into a home made case, it’ll be a dedicated server for a game (7 days to die) so will run pretty much 24/7 

 

during the warm U.K. summer evenings we have been having the thermometer in res 2 recons a water temperature of 35c  and cpus sitting at 45-50c during idle, under an intel burn test I haven’t seen it go above 65c according to cpu temperature software and according to my loop thermometer the water stays at 45-50c under the test

 

just want to know if I can improve its thermals by changing it from

a series loop orientated like:

pump, rad, cpu, rad, cpu, rad, resivour 2, back to pump 

 

to a parralel loop orientated like: 

pump, rad, 1-2 split, cpu rad, cpu rad, 2-1 join, res 2, back to pump  

 

if altering my loop wont have much effect how else could I drag down those thermals

i shall be giving the cpus a proper clean and reapplying my thermal paste soon, as I don’t think I got the best spread on install 

 

Any other advice on my cooling system would be grand 

 

thanks

It will make 0 difference.

 Not going to make a difference, if you already have 3 rads and the water is under 50C it's hard to do much better.

Cheers guys 

there’s only one other thing I could think of but I have a feeling the answer may be the same 

 

I have seen these cpus have some monsters of heatsinks on them in a complete t7400 would having a completely copper water block plumbed in parallel inbetween the block I have already and the cpu give more surface area to the water to take more heat away make a difference? 

 

Cheers
