I believe serial flows better, but parallel cools more evenly since you're not sending warm water into the second water block.

what i've heard from jayztwocents, doesn't really matter, but as @Rangaman42 already stated, parallel should cool a bit better. Though after a while the temp of the water evens out in the loop so...

Since I have two D5 pumps already. I doubt will flow will be an issue. I think I'll go with parallel just so I can use more tubing in the front.

I cracked open one of the Aqua-Computer Sensor fittings. All it is is a thermal sensor wrapped around the fitting. I was hoping it would have been connected to the fitting.

I've never seen a build with this kind of watercooling, so much monitoring equipment.

Looking awesome! As for serial or paralell, it shouldn't matter much in the long run, though personally I think paralell looks better

All the monitoring looks cool, I like it! And the frosted tuning is super Sexy!

Can't wait for more!

Some is for Lighting, Not all is for WaterCooling.

- The cables on the res came pre-sleeved, I might have to re-sleeve them, They keep slipping out of the heatshrink.

- Slowly replacing the silver screws on the res with black ones. I still wonder why companies give you black products then give you silver screws.

- I was curious to see if Aqua-Computer Vision Table Top unit would be released on time, I E-Mailed them to see. It seem it been pushed until May now. Glad I got vision items when I got them. Doesn't look like theirs going to be another shipment for Table Top unit for awhile or Customer Support is clueless again.

- Used heatshrink that also applies glue when heated. This way the heatshrink & Sleeving will never move.

[Revan654]

 

- One is powder Coated & one is spray Painted. Can you tell the difference?
- Painting is pretty much done.
- The Second Vision terminal arrived today, Now finding a way to connecting the top terminal to my GPU waterblock.

Still waiting on one more Splitty 9, Not all are for fans. Atlease one is being used for my Aquabus devices. This way I don't have to make like a dozen y Cables.

you just have ALL the PWM splitters

You're going to need a hot knife to cut that sleeving without fraying it. I gave this some thought myself - they're pretty pricey tools to buy if you're not an SI who is going to use it continually. I was thinking that one could whip up something workable at home with a PSU and a strand of tungsten wire.

 

EDIT: I should have looked at more pics. Seems like you're doing just fine.

- I ran out of M3 Screws, using silver ones for place holders until I get some more in.
- I had to cut the back part of the aquabay bracket off. Still don't know why it was their in the first place, since it blocks two of the ports by default.
- I also painted the outside the aquapipe, just so it would match the aquatube.
- The top Port will be used as a fill port.
- The middle port will be used as the returning point ( This is also where the flow sensor will be located at). So it will be closer to USB & Aquabus Hub.
- It can't be seen here by the bottom part of the aquatube will head directly to the my res in the front of the PC.
- The other port will have LED plugs.
