Will this watercooling loop work?

Ideally I would recommend a tube res with a D5 unit if your aiming for silence since those mini pumps bay res' from XSPC are not the quietest thing. As for that setup it looks like it will not have any problems.

I have a Corsair 600C coming, a 360 and 240 xspc rad, and 5ft long of black koolance tubing.

For now just my CPU will be connected to the loop, I did not get my 980 block yet. The

res/reservoir combo I have will be in the dual 5.25in bays. This is because the 600C has sound

dampening front door and it will look great when I open the door. Here is what I have so far-

So the pump will output directly to the 240 rad, then go out and to the cpu block, then go from the cpu to the 360 rad, then from 360 rad, back to the pump. Its a 750lph pump, http://www.performance-pcs.com/new-xspc-x2o-dc-750-dual-5-25-bay-res-pump-reservoir-combo-v4-black.html

I assume your question is "Will the loop work?" though you didn't state it in your post

 

In theory, yes. It is up to you to build it correctly.

Yes, it will work as long as the case supports those radiators. the only thing that matters as far as order goes is that the pump should come right after the res and since yours is a combo, you shouldnt have any problem. good luck!

Hmm, thanks. The prototype I made seems to look right?

Thanks for the help, oh and the 600 supports the rads. I'll definitely come back if I run into any problems once I receive the parts during this week.

just make sure you have some 90 degree fittings and/or maybe some 45 degree fittings. it looks like you'll need them between the 240 and the pump/res

Yeah, I figured that. But the 600C has a sound dampened front bay door. I guess we'll see

Oh ok, I dont think I will have to. The tubing will go right through a huge empty 3.5inch drive bay.

is this your first custom loop? The first one I built, I got all the parts only to find out I couldn't bend my tubes without them kinking so I had to rush order some 90 degree fittings. just double check and then check again.

Yes, my first loop. And first inverted case. I chose koolance tubing, it possibly may help. Im hoping this all works

contemplating a multiple block loop, that 750 will not survive. look to the DDC (12w better/18w best) or the D5.

the 750 has the flowrate, but not the head pressure to live with multiple water blocks.

or the tube res w/D5 pump: http://www.amazon.com/XSPC-Photon-Reservoir-Vario-Combo/dp/B00FJHFQ1M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461036494&sr=8-1&keywords=xspc+photon+170+D5

using the tube res will shorten those loop routes making it cleaner and streamlined.

If I leave the system without a GPU block added, just a CPU block, will I be ok?

I have the whole setup on on its way, so its kinda late :( I can still buy a tube reservoir and d5 pump when I decide to get a GPU block then cant I?

yes you can, just saves on spending money when you don't have to twice.

I bought 20 bitspower G1/4 3/8 1/2 compression fittings, raystorm cpu block, 1 xspc 240 rad, and one xspc 360 rad, all for $150. I try to save money when I can, I appreciate your guidance. I'll post my results later on in the week, the pump better not die :(
