I have an extra TC PA120.3 and was thinking of adding it to the CPU loop in series. The pump I'm using is Laing DDC-3.2 w/XSPC Reservoir Top.
My question is will adding another pump have any benefit?
I now people are going to say to test it both ways but I just dont have that sort of time these days with the kids and work taking up about 90% of me.
Thanks

The PA120.3 is not very restrictive so I doubt adding a extra pump will help. Just try without adding a extra pump and ponder later ;)

What CPU Block are you running?
The best gains to be made in watercooling lie in radiators...:fact:

Currently Swiftech GTZ but I also used and have Dtek V2.....But Im on the list for the Heatkiller.

I would just add the TC 120.3 in series. If the loop only has a GTZ, TC120.3 and DDC3.2, the additional TC120.3 will not add very much restriction, but will add a whole lot of benefit.
I did a simple test keeping all things equal except having one DDC 3.2 or two. The extra heat dump voided any gains from flow rate.

I say add the extra radiator, you would not notice any gain from an extra pump. The extra pump would be a good idea for redundancy, but that's it.
