Corsair 650D loop

[chd176]

This is my first attempt at watercooling. Thankfully everything went smoothly the first time with no leaks. I'm going to replace the PSU with a Corsair AX850 and the graphics card with a EVGA GTX780 in the upcoming weeks (funds didn't stretch quite far enough so I had to salvage some parts from my previous build). I think I did ok but I'd always welcome more tips or suggestions as to what I can improve, thanks!

perhaps have the pump placed higher in the case so it isn't fighting gravity most of the time? but i'm not even sure if that makes a difference

[chd176]

I'm not sure I could get it much higher not a ton of room in the case to mount the res I was under the impression it should be at the bottom of the case though I'll see if I can squeeze a bit more room to move the res and pump up a bit.

Can you switch the top rad to have the inlet and outlet toward the back of the case? That way when you get the water block for the card it can go res>pump>gpu>rad>cpu>res.

It would make your tube runs shorter.

Yeah, I could do that I was so focused on the res being close to the in/out of the rad I forgot about that lol. I'll switch it around once I get my new card and waterblock for it, thanks.
