I need help designing a loop for my pc. It's quite confusing on what I should do. I'm also thinking of doing a acrylic tubing. Not sure yet. I need suggestions. Please help me.

Specs:

I7 4770k

Evga z97 classified mobo

Evga 980 sli

Evga 750w power supply

16gb of Kingston white fury ram

120gb ssd

250gb ssd

2tb hdd

Case= corsair 730t

With the 730t I plan to mod to make a windo where the grill spots are. If any modding to make this work by a suggestion I'll consider it. This will be my first custom loop build. I need your help.

no offence, but if you so much of a water cooling noob you can't design a loop, I would avoid acrylic tubing.

Stick to soft tubing first and just make a simple loop, however if you insist on acrylic tubing watch alot of these videos.

Agreed, acrylic tubing recommends an immense amount of preparation. You need to make measurements to fit the tubing correctly. You need to bend the tubing which takes time and money. And even with a lot of preparation there often will be a problem. However, I absolutely love the look of acrylic tubing and think it is worth the extra time and money.

Y'know tons and tons of water-cooling, already have a wide knowledge on how to plan out a loop, and advanced information on optimal placement of the components? Then go acrylic. It'll still be ridiculously time consuming and hard and expensive. Probably around half the price of your entire rig. It'll look pretty though.

 

If you want that straight, clean-cut look, then I guess you could get some 90 degree fittings for soft tubes and it could look similar. 

My build: tis be ordered
