Is this a good custom cpu loop?

[Trail Mixorz]

I will be making a loop for just my cpu. This is what I have so far.

 

One thing I'm worried about is long tubing runs that might look very ugly. 

 

PrimoChill PrimoFlex 3/8"ID x 5/8" OD

 

Bitspower G1/4 Thread 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD

 

Akasa 140mm Apache

 

Koolance HX 280mm

 

Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 240mm

 

Bitspower Summit EF Clear Acrylic

 

EK D5 X-RES Top 140 w/ D5 Vario Pump

 

Mayhems Pastel Coolant Premix 1L

 

Quick paint draw up:

If that's what you're looking for, then yeah, those pieces will all work together well.  Pretty similar to parts I've used in a build before.  The Ice White looks nice with the armor kit.  Might need to figure out some mounting options for that pump/res combo in the 350D.

Tons of Rad, for not a lot of blocks. O:

350D. I want it kinda where i have it in the drawing, I'm just not sure how I could mount it there. I don't trust velcro too much with this.

I'm leaving it open for a gpu block for when I upgrade gpus.

Drill holes in the case. Use the screws. Works well...

 

Also, sounds good

Take a look at the UNDesigns mount then, though I don't really see a way you're gonna fit that combo in with a 80mm rad...

if you have enough space you can route the tubing behind the mobo but only if you have a clear path and thing else will kill it

Yeah I'll probably have to do that, which means taking everything out to drill

I'm not exactly sure how big 80mm is, but I have a ton of space in my 350D. And I might run my fans in push in the front intake because there's a spot for fans on the front to save some space. See pic below.

 

EDIT: Okay I looked at THIS bracket. It would look great and work out perfectly with the fans in pull.

Definitely not enough space back there.

The tubing runs will definitely be a bit long without a GPU block in there. Your components work together so that's good. I don't recommend you get a Monsta if you can't run it in push/pull. You start to see performance drop on rads that thick if you're not running the fans at high rpm or in push/pull. A UT60 would be fine and it works great with good fans in push or pull. Is there a reason you're not using a 2x140 ST30 in the top?

Okay then I won't get the monsta. And no reason, I just picked any 280mm rad that looked good

That's the bracket I used.  You won't have enough space with a rad, then the bracket, then the pump attached to the bracket.  Alphacool ST30 may be all you can fit up there if you want to use a combo.

 

You could always decouple pump and res, but you're still cramped for space.  I could barely fit the EK combo in the front of an H440 with a 30mm rad.

80mm monsta looks like this:

 

 

pretty much nothing over GTX 660/760 cards
