Hello all

Can someone tell me if im using a 1/2 inch dia. tubing how long can I make my tube lengths in my system be or my loop be? From my first Aquastream XT pump i want to split the line 2 ways both 1/2 dia tubes. Each line is about 20 to 24 inches in total length to the blocks on the MB & on up to the radiators. First going into a duel rad. then thru quad rad. & then back down about 22 inches into the 250mm reservoir, then about 2 to 4 inches back into the pump again. The first line is for the CPU only & the second line is for both Northbridge & Southbridge chipsets.

From my second Aquastream XT pump I want to split the line 2 ways both 1/2 dia. tubes. Again each line is about 20 to 24 inches in total length to blocks also on the MB & the going on up to a 2nd. duel rad & the thru a 2nd. quad rad.& then back down about 22 inches into a 2nd. 250mm reservoir then its about 4 to 6 inches back into the pump again. The first line is for a pair of duel chip video cards only & the second line is for both v-regs & into the tri memory.

From the first pump I want to add a 1/4 inch dia. tube turning it into a 3way splitter & also from the 2nd. pump i want to add a 1/4 dia. tube turning it into another 3 way splitter then joining the two 1/4 dia. tubes to become a 3/8 dia. or perhaps a 1/2 dia. tube going about 22 inches below across to the 3 or 4 duel paks (blocks) for the HDD's then about another 28 inches across to the 1st. PSU & then about 2 to 3 inches into a 2nd. PSU & then going up about 2 inches into a tri rad. then going an aditional 20 inches back up above splitting them back into two 1/4 dia. tubes, each going into the 1st. 250mm reservoir & the second 1/4 dia. tube into the 2nd. 250mm reservoir.

Will this be ok for the pumps or should i get a 3rd. pump into my system, the Eheim 1250

Hello

I am using two pumps & asking if i shound get another pump (a third pump added to my system) mainly because of the total distance (length) i have in my case. I also want to have better flow pressure without turning up the pumps power.

Mr. toad

I am ruuning just 1 loop but spliting it 3 different ways sharing it with 2 pumps. I'm wondering if I should get a 3rd. pump. It is on or for the 3rd. split is where my two pump comes together (joins) at. My total tubing length is about 317 inches or roughly 26.5 feet from the outakes to the intakes of the pumps including the distance the liquid has to travels going thru radiators & blocks. 1/4 dia. tubing length =roughly 1 foot used, 3/8 dia. tubing length =roughly 10 feet used, 1/2 dia. tubing length =roughly 8.5 feet used.

My first Aquastream pump is cooling the Cpu, & the northbridge & southbridge chips using 1/2 tubing. then to a duel & quad rads.

My second Aquastream pump is cooling the 2 duel chip Video cards like the 4890x2, Both V-regs, & the tri memory, a accelerator card, & a Controller card using 1/2 tubing. then to a different duel & differnet quad rads..

Im sharing both pumps to go down below running a line for the 4 duel pak Hydra-Pak Hdd coolers, & for the 2 PSU, then to a tri RAD. using 3/8 tubing.
