Planning my watercooling loop.

[Senzelian]

In around 2 weeks I will build my watercooling loop for my PC.
So I want to use this time to pre-plan the loop.

Here is a picture of what I think it will look like:

I would just like to know what the more experienced watercoolers of it think.
Can I use the graphics cards like that? I have seen "JayzTwoCents" doing it like that.

I will use hardline tubing if that even matters.

I don't see any issues with this =)

Nice clean picture =)

Pro-tip, add a drain at the lowest point in your build. looks like it would be the intake of the front rad according to the picture.

Thanks   

 

I will definitly add a drain there. That's a good idea.

Happy to help =)

For draining it looks like you've got a couple places coolant can still get trapped. I have three drains in my loop for this reason, two of which are on the front radiator. In your case you'd need two on the front radiator and one on the pump in order to get almost all of the coolant out, or you'll be mopping up a lot whenever you disassemble it.

 

Otherwise depending on your case, this should work fine. It looks very similar to a design I've seen from Singularity Computers when he built an AMD build into the Corsair Air 540. What case are you using for this?

The Air 540 (You can see my build on my profile and in my signature is a link to all the parts)

Everything is really close together and I don't have a lot of tolerance to play with, but it should work if I planned everything correctly.

The main problem will be the pump and reservoir, because I want also a light panel at the bottom of the case. So I need to mod a lot until everything fits how I want it to fit.

I should add an drain system with that special fitting from EK at the pomp out side!

 

Then you could turn on the pomp when you want to drain your system!

 

But the order of your loop looks very clean!

Thanks.

Someone told me to add a drain already. But thanks for mentioning it!
