Anyone have any ideas of how to get the tube that exits the CPU block outside of the case with the cleanest run?  ( The tube needs to go back to the radiator)

 

I could go back into the GPU, but I was told bleeding air out of it would be a pain in the ass since it'd be running in parallel essentially?

 

 

[-CLASSIFIED-]

out the back near the io shield all i can think of man 

 

i don't think that's an ideal spot for the rad , it will be hard to clean and most likely choked for air

Air 540 case?

 

I'd run it through a wire management grommet at the top and then drill a new exit hole in the back side where the PSU side of the case to have an exit point there to a quick disconnection or pass through fitting in the case.

This ^ or maybe run it down with the other tube going to the radiator.

Looks like it to me, only case I know of with drive mounts in the bottom, then nothing but the mobo in the main part of the case while still having that many pci slots.

I could put it above the 140mm fan as well with a hole drilled, but IDK because then there'd be a long run of tubing outside the case.  But it'd make the inside of the case cleaner probably.

 

My other option is to put it UNDER the 140mm fan, next to the PCI-E slots, but if I do this, it may be difficult to remove the GPU if I ever need to, but not terribly difficult.

I think maybe take out 1-2 pci brackets and maybe cut through the divider (if there is one) then pop the tubes through there.

 

Though a good question, why even have the rad outside the pc in the first place?

this was my first thought.

 

the biggest issue here is that i don't see anyway or getting air bubbles out naturally, or top filling.

 

you could buy a second rad and mount it at the top of the case, then run the cpu to topRad, then topRad back out and down. then you could fill and bleed air from the very top.

Filling will be simple, all I have to do is rotate the case sideways and fill the top of the res.

 

I bought a reservoir cap that has 2 holes, so one for filling / air bleeding and one for the return line.

oh. that works great then. i have a 900D and i never think of rotating because 900D.

 

i'd go just below the fan and above the Pci-e slot.

wierd that that case doesnt have tube ports, my last mid-tower from thermaltake did.

Because a 1080mm radiator doesn't fit in 99% of cases lol

 

Here's what I have to work with:

Damn that's a large rad lol

 

Well, imo go with the pci slots. (circled in red)

-PIC-

 

 

Going through the top seems the best, it would work well with the design and look if you don't want to have it routed trough the back behind the mobo tray as said.

My only issue with that is then I have to bend it all over the case to get it out there.

 

 

I was thinking maybe this is the easiest route?

Ohh idea, go from the pump to the CPU then down to the GPU and then use the output from the GPU to go out to the radiator along with the input for the res.

I was going to suggest exactly this. If you have enough room around the end of the GPU to go directly from the pump to CPU then you can have both ends of the loop at the bottom of the case.

if I do that, I could just put my CPU in parallel with the GPU I suppose.  Is it for sure not going to increase temps if I do parallel with the CPU/GPU block?  I see so many mixed opinions on parallel, hard to tell what's right/wrong.

[airdeano]

you'll be fine, we used those before cases were supporting radiators.

just have to say real quick, that's fucking awesome lol
