again very helpfull :)

but I'm still not out of the woods yet; I get the cascade phase change concept, I get the TEC cascade concept, but I still don't get what cascaded watercooling is :grum: (not talking about multiple pumps now) and I don't get why those home made WC blocks from cathar are called "cascade watercooling blocks".


I don't remember wether it was here or at procooling forums but I've read that placing your pumps in series can ravage the last pump(s) in the chain when put directly behind eachother.

cascade is the name of his designed waterblock

3-barb cascade SS, silver baseplate :o

Yeah, I've seen it, ... I've also seen the pricetag on it, ... 350 $ :ww:

so the only reason it's called cascade is because of the dual outlet, correct?

I'd rather think it is because of the sequence of the jet and impignment effect

it does work, but it isn't a great solution

Stacking peltiers is fraught with complications and may not be a practical solution to supercooling high-wattage CPUs.

correct.
