    Water cooling questions

    Can use 2 x Reservoir a main and a backup or something, or lose pressure in the system. What happens if I use 12mm hose from the pump to the cpu and 10mm tube for the rest of the system?

    Turn lose pressure in the system or it will be "lax" in some places.

    Do not think it will work particularly well.

    The water coming through the system is their printed on. After which, the pressure disappears in res.

    Then the water from one res. into the other and to gravity then move it so that you must have significantly larger hose in order not to the first becomes full, the other will have low water levels.

    But why even put the two?

    Just a stupid idea because I have another available also .. then possibly use it as filler for the other.

    Will probably give you more problems than benefits instead.
