Water cooling loop configuration

[GameWizard]

Hello!

Im new to water cooling so i would like your opinion how i should configure the loop, if you see any better way to place the parts come with a sugestion but i think this should be the best configuration?

(sorry for bad scetch i used MS paint)

I used to have that case too, the top radiator can only be a maximum of 30mm to not interfere with your motherboard. You can fit another 240mm (30mm thick) radiator in the bottom if you want to aswell.

I would recommend using the bottom 240 slot, instead of the back 120 slot. You can put in a bigger rad and having a rad at the top and back can look cluttered. You could then hide the run from the bottom rad to the top behind the hard drive cage, or just use acrylic tubing to make it look nice.

Behind the back panel, assuming you have space there of course.

Also could any kind person check so that theese parts go together, i have heard some nasty stories about corrosion and such

You do not need the PSU jump starter, you can use a paperclip or any wire to short it, unless you are uncomfortable doing so of course.

 

You may want to buy 2 m of tubing. 1m might be quite tight, it might not be enough if you make a mistake.

 

Check if the store sells the EK gpu bridge connector, they tend to look nicer.

 

1L of coolant may be enough, but I would get 2L to be safe.

But the metals fit together?

But the metals fit together?

Yes, the only metal you need to watch out for is aluminium, however, using anti-corrosive in you coolant will prevent even that causing too many issues. The pre-mix coolant you chose has an anti-corrosive additive.

so i wont need to buy it separate? oh and also do i need more fittings or other things?

[Ghost]

so i wont need to buy it separate?

No, you won't, it's one of the advantages of a pre-mixed coolant.

do you think i need more fittings and such?

[NE0XY]

Swedish? =)

You wont fit a 280 radiator in the bottom, also,you need two fittings for every part. so just count how many blocks, radiators etc and then multiply with 2 =)

Pro-tip, add a valve and  put it as low as possible in your system so you can easily drain the fluid.
