At the very lowest point.  Keep in mind there has to be some kind of opening to let the air in (the highest point is optimal).

Ok is better in position 1; and in future for drian the system loop i need open the reservoir  top plug.

Is correct?

Change position of fittings A  in down B allright?

Or you could do both locations with a bare barb and connect tubes just when your draining (before you open the valves).  I have something like that right at the bottom of the case and my reservoir is at the highest point.  I'll open up into a bucket and then unscrew the reservoir.

Thanks for reply i preefer mount ball valve hide...but i fear no drain loop in high position on the radiator out

[ewitte]

If I had to do it again I probably would have picked a radiator with a bleed port on the top.  Would have also been convenient for filling.

Please post your loop photo for look

Still have work on it and this wasn't the best picture anyway (cut off part of the valve also).

Thanks!!!!

That 420mm radiator just barely squeezes in.  I'll probably add something additional to the top if I decide to cool the GPU.  Probably a 360.

You will need a Y or a T or some sort of split,  otherwise you cannot use it as a drain

A proper drain port implemented with a T-fitting will allow you to install your drain whereever you want, in my case it is in the lowest point in the PSU shroud basement out of site.
