Posted September 2, 2015 hey guys, i'm planning my water cooling loop and I'm having issue with my cpu loop just because of the case is so weird. So I felt it was best to make a 3d model of it to show how I want it. If you need more angles I'll be glad to provide them.Few notable points- I know how many rads I have is over kill, I dont care- I know having push pull is over kill, still dont care- I know I dont have to have two separate loops...still dont care <3- the case I'm using is the caselabs th10a - there will be 90degree fittings and swivels in certain parts just got lazy with the tubing- I'm using hard line tubing-I didnt forget about drain valves, just again, didnt put it in the model for your drawing pleasure also, the case is inverted because i was too lazy to change the view in maya, so I just rotated it...if it really kills it, just flip the imagethe cpu will use the top two rads because I thought it was best, and the gpu uses the bottom two, all suggestions that are helpful are appreciated EDIT: ok, I layed out the cpu look, I wont embed pictures because there are a lot, but I have a few questions...mainly for the tubing in the backbecause its so long should I just not bend it and use fitting to hold them together since they have to stretch such a far distance? pictureshttps://gyazo.com/4bcd94f498f9368dbecfe813c153373ahttps://gyazo.com/8d7766b123daf1fe751a63470ee2c421https://gyazo.com/45135bc5056c93351102e0d585369576https://gyazo.com/422a8c030892028361f0b2881b332064https://gyazo.com/8af3d635d516516580a9d5d49d3d480https://gyazo.com/d968cdf525cabea8c837d5771063cc90https://gyazo.com/64e6d54231ebb87135dc3ff3481ba9bdhttps://gyazo.com/0a813adf5d3d5d323fc0cf3a6cabf96bhttps://gyazo.com/4d9e1c09cc5a913300e46af59ec43b14thoughts? remember some things will have 90degrees where it makes sense, just didnt bother making them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 2, 2015 -SNIP- Looks overall a really good start, I would probably go for thick rads instead if your doing push/pull as overkill as it already is. Since it's such a large case have you considered maybe doing a midplate it will fill the case more and seem less empty even with all the watercooling gear.

For the CPU I guess you could have a similar idea of running it through the motherboard tray say having it run from the res to to CPU block between the res and the GPU blocks with the return going up through the tray and back around to the reservoir through the tray again. If you have low fin density thin rads push pull won't really make a difference then, it's usually high fin density thin rads that help a few degrees with push pull.

I might not do it because I dont like how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
