Custom watercooling loop help.

[Matt14520]

Hey guys

I'm helping my friend make a custom watercooled sli 980 build.

We're using a Corsair 760t and a Asus Maximus VII formula with dual GTX 980's.

We're gonna have a 360mm rad on top and a 280mm rad on the front, with a Bitspower Z-Multi 250 Reservoir and a EK D5 Vario Pump.

So in all we're gonna need to cool the CPU waterblock, 2 GPU waterblocks, 

We're not sure how to do the loop. We need some help. This is where all the components ruffly are.

Thx for the help, it's greatly appreciated, Matt.

Yeah, this should work fine.

EDIT: but you may want to place 360 (if possible) in front to maintain positive presure inside the case.

we can't put a 360 in the front sadly, i meant like connect all the rads and waterblocks with tubes, we're not sure which way to do that.

in all honesty it does not matter what your connections other than going directly from the res to the pump. however, I do recommend you swap your case for the NzXT Switch 810 and swap your res for a dual bay res, as youll have a neater looking system, and better tubing runs. also you would save some of your budget

something like this would be fine? http://gyazo.com/bdfee75eef126c7fd1e95a9b187ad556

Also if you do the NZXT Switch 810 and get a dual 5.25 bay res with the d5 variant pump installed, you could go from the pump, to the cpu, then mobo, then 360 on top, back through the graphics cards, then return to the 280/240 rad and back to the res.

exactaly, but look into the dual 5.25 bay pump res combos and you would be getting better astetics and preformance by removing some of hte cabe runs. also are you going to use hard acrylic or soft flex tubing?

we originally started with a H440, now we switched to a 760t. My friend kinda cares what his PC looks like, is it possible with the 760t tho?

soft flex

Ive never built in one so i dont know if it would work

[skullrebell]

soft flex

Is it possible to use the mounting on this reservoir

http://www.ekwb.com/shop/reservoirs-and-acc/res-pump-combo/ek-d5/ek-xres-100-d5-vario-incl-pump.html

to mount onto this mount bracket for a radiator

I think, it's gonna interfere with pump.

But you can drill some holes in case, or.. just be creative.

no like im gonna use the mounting bracket meant for hard drive cages and instead mount it to the bracket for the radiator

@paprikman

Like can this

be mounted on this which is vertical on a 280mm rad
