900D Watercooling Loop

[Reloaded2]

Does this make sense for a water cooling loop in the 900D? Is there a more visually pleasing way to set it up? Is there a more efficient way to set it up? Constructive Criticism.

i would argue that you can even dump the 360 rad,

Looks alright to me.

You could probably put the pump in the basement too though.

I would put the pump in the basement. Also, you're going to have a long run somewhere if you go from the CPU to the rad to the res. I would suggest going from the GPU to the rad to the CPU to the res to make the runs a bit shorter.

I wanted a push pull at the top of the case in the rad will there be enough space for that with a 360 rad?

Could you do a visually representation of that please? here's the link to the image: http://puu.sh/aOfWg/440cf70d14.jpg

corsair lists 110 mm clearance

 

2 fans = 50 mm

 

so that leaves 60 mm left for a rad, should be enought for most rads

Ok cool but you said 2 fans are you talking about a rad like this? http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Alphacool-NexXxoS-UT60-Full-Copper-360mm-Triple-Radiator-pid-14819.html

what i ment with 2 fans is that youre gonna be doing push pull

 

and yes, that rad should fit perfectly with push pull, 

[Reloaded2]

I was thinging to do this = Res>Cpu>Rad>Gpu 1>Gpu 2>Rad 2>Pump. How about that?

You need the res to go before the pump.

That plus this....

Is my Exact build.

I had a few issues though. The massive size of the buttom rad makes it a little difficult to route the tubing.

You might be a bit better of if it isnt the Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta (124x552x80mm)

If it is the large model, you will only be able to run tubing from the drive bay end of the case.

There is ample room to run the tube behind the motherboard to the top radiator.

 

(I apologize for the poor quality)

with what you have in the pic I would go from the pump into the GPU's into the quad rad into the CPU into the 360mm rad then return to the res. other wise your going to transfer the heat from the GPU's straight into the CPU.

 

If I was to change your setup I would not put a rad at the top and get a 240mm rad and mount it at the apposing side at the bottom of the case and have the rad fans as induction at the bottom and mount fans at the front as induction and mount top and back fan as extraction. and run loop as described above. where you have a rad directly after each water block.

if looking to run the monsta, i'd reconsider and use 2x XT45 480 to keep it

cool, quiet and stealthy. that monsta in the basement will crowd the PSU

(30mm clearance) and not really offer any more advantage over the XT45

or UT60.

Take a look at my updated build in my sig. I'm running 2 x 360 (1 thin and one thick) and a thin 480. I'm using a rad sandwich in the basement with the 480-fans-360.-fans Provides a significant amount of cooling surface area. Airdeano is right. PSU space was extremely tight. I had 1-2 mm clearance. My loop order is:

Tube res-d5-top 360(thick)-bottom360-bottom 480-GPU-GPU-CPU-gpu-gpu-res.

I'm running a parallel setup and it works great. GPU temps never go over 45 and CPU temps never go over 65. GPUs and CPU are OC'd.
