Custom PC Case & Water Loop

[Jay Scriven]

Okay so I've had this idea in my head for a while of how I'm going to build this case from scratch. To start making 3D renders I need to figure out the hardware I'm going to use and where its gonna go. I made this sketch because I want to get people's opinion on how I should do the loop. The easiest way to do it is to have the CPU and GPU's on a separate loop to each other but I would prefer to have them all in the one loop. If you guys can give me a few ideas of how I could run the loop all in one. (e.g Res > pump > Rad > CPU > res etc...)

 

Cheers!

@Scrivyyy Show tubes in pic! Looks cool so far

Separate loops are possible, but if you're not going to do that, then you should run the GPU's in parallel, and make sure there's a radiotor in the loop between the CPU and the three GPUs. 

I would put the reservoir in the bottom of the case instead, or in the top. Maybe even both?

Cheers! yeah the idea is you guys are helping me with that I'm not entirely sure where to run them yet.

I watched JayzTwoCents build logs and update for skunkworks. He said there is less than 3 degrees of difference from when he had separate loops to running the liquid through all in one go.

 

I just don't see how I can run everything through together without having to run 1 tube across the whole case

@Scrivyyy Hmm, you could have 1 huge loop like this?

But... the Res is above everything (you could put it on the bottom) and there are cross overs going across the case

Putting the reservoir and the pump in the bottom would make the loop an almost perfect square, which could be neat, but maybe also a bit boring?

I should have pointed out I want the frozenQ reservoirs to be the main eye catcher for the case. I wanna mount them on the outside. Thanks for the help though guys. I'm thinking I might have to go 2 separate loops but that's okay
