| Serial Vs Parallel Hi, i've got a RBX cpu block and a maze3 w pelt VGA block I was wondering what the best configuration should be: - both blocks serial (water runs faster, but heats up) - both blocks parallel (water runs twice as slow, but both blocks get cold water) - both block serial and 2 radiator between (block, rad, block ,rad, res, ...) |

| in my humble opinion that pelted Maze3 will drop a lot of heat into the loop, having a radiator is essential if you want good performance, if you keep the flow high I think it is feasable to run PUMP -> RBX -> MAZE3 -> RADIATOR -> RESERVOIR without much loss in performance, the Maze3 has low restrictions, while the RBX will take away more power from the pump, so a high end pump is advised

| Re: Serial Vs Parallel Quote:
if water enters a block at 25°, it leaves the block at 25.3°C or so. in any case, it doesn't make a difference in what sequence you place everything if you want two radiators you'll need a good pump. even then, two radiators are flow killers. if you use two radiators anyway, place them in parallel | |

| well i got 1 single rad (BI extreme) and i was planning to buy another single an put it in between the blocks so the water runs trough a rad before entering the RBX, and into another rad before entering the VGA block, ive got a 800l/h pump (watertank 800, pump+res) |

| Do-able with your pump . I've had a Hydor L20 which pumped through an Evo Triple and a BI Pro without any problems.

| the RBX needs a pretty powerful pump to work optimal.

| L30 will be better then L20 in my humble opinion
