I am doing one single loop since this will be for the chiller. What is really amazing about this current setup is that the loop consists of the mosfets, cpu (QX9650 @ 4.16Ghz, 1.41v vcore), NB, SB and GPU (HD4870x2), pump is two MCP355's combined using a EK dual top, a Swiftech Micro res (temporary) and as a temporary cooler the PA120.3. Those pumps combined push the water flow very high. I thought my tubes were going to come off at first. :D Now that's a lot for one loop and under the chiller shouldn't be an issue, but what I find amazing is the fact that the PA120.3 with San Ace fans has no problem cooling the entire loop. Ambient is 21c and at idle the CPU is at 26c and the GPU is at 31c, under load (OCCT) the CPU is under 60c, the GPU under load (3DMark06) only hits 36c. That's friggin unbelievable for a single rad with all of that in one loop. I guess that is why the Thermochill is considered the best you can get. I wish I had a Feser laying around to compare them.
