Front Panel Mounted Loop?

[Denominator]

Hi all, 

wanted to get your opinions on my systems custom loop.

I especially am wondering about the parralel loop between the gpus.... anyway, here are some picture diagrams...

What do yall think....

I'm not a watercooler, but the loop looks good to me, however, why are the resivoirs on the door?

2 res for looks I'm guessing? as long as you get a parallel bridge for the gpus it should be fine.

Looks / saving room in the case my guess

As long as the motherboard has ample airflow and you use full cover gpu blocks,you can stuff whatever you want in the case.

And that's not a front panel,it's a side panel.

Unless u're not going with rigid tubing, don't bother yourself with parralel cooling.

You just going to spend more money and get mostly same results.

And yeah, res on a side panel is not very good... But u can just fill it up and close without attaching to the loop, if u want it for looks.

Do you mean to say tubing affects cooling performance?!?!?!

And please explain how the res on a side panel is not a good idea?

No. I mean, that when you do rigid tubing, sometimes u just can't align all parts and you have to setup another loop for some components. Tubing can affect performance if we say about ID (tubing inner diameter).

Res on a side panel may lead to leaks because of accidently broken\pulled too hard tubing. Also res gonna weight some, so it may lead to vibrations.

Again, if u do this for looks, u can screw this res on a panel, fill it up, but don't connect to the loop.

well you could just use a 90 degree fitting on the res if you are too concerned about the tubing but practically I think you will be fine as long as you use some common sense.

MYTH ALERT!! MYTH ALERT!!

ID doesn NOT affect performance AT ALL.

It's sad, if u won't see difference between 1/2" and 1/8" tubing.

This may help u.

Well,Let me tell you fluid dynamics dictates that the fluid flow rate would be faster.I agree.But what about 30 minutes into gaming?The fluid would reach an equilibrium,the temperature would stay the same because all of the water would be heated up to a certain point and it couldn't get any hotter because the rads would disapate the heat faster than the components can heat it.

No offense but.

Please read the book yourself before telling others to do so.
