I plan on having a multi radiator and multi reservoir setup, I was just wondering for each of the reservoirs do I need another pump or will one pump do just fine?

-The pump I plan on using is the Innovatek/Eheim HPPS PLUS 12v Pump
-Innovatek HTCS Convection Radiator mounted on top of the case
-2 Innovatek InnovaKonvekt-o-Matic MAXI mounted on the sides
-2 Innovatek External Tank-o-matics on the sides
-A Fass-o-Matic in the drive bays

Yes its overkill, but... so what.
I love Innovatek as you can see; I used their kit 4 years ago and loved their stuff since.

The Mountan mod thumb screws hold the res in its place.

Well I have:
2 pumps
2 tripple rads (thermochil and BIX)
Tripple bay sized res (holds 5 Litres)
Strom Rev 2
7900GTX SLI both on water
NB is water cooled (recent edition not in the pics)
I use only tygon 1/2" ID tubes


Life is good

Okay, them Raptors should be fine with a fan cooling. Trust me with a fan they would be at great shape. As for the rest you can do the same as Wun and go ahead get two separate loop, one for the cpu and the other for the graphics card.

Or you can do it with single loop and use a 4x120mm rads, MCP655 pump or better, then split it off to the three components, or if you overclock only the cpu then go ahead place the setup to pass the cpu block and then splits off to both graphics cards. The graphics card will be at 60-70c by then but 8800GTX can run on that temps no problem. Also use push-pull fan configuration for better cooling on them rads.

But if you have enough space in your rig and or don't mind having external rads then use two loops by owe means. Also for heavy overclocking then you need two separate loops.

Here's a crappy illustration of mine using 4x120mm rad. This would be good only for stock and some mild to medium overclocking. If you go overclock to extreme then I suggest you get two loops with triple rads, cpu+n/b and two 8800GTX get their separate loop. Just like Wun's. if you have a regular full tower ATX case you can place the rads on the back and on top.

If you do this, them I suggest you get these component
