Need help planning a loop!

[Dreaper]

Just need help with the loop planning and what bends i should do. Im doing hardline tubing and for angled fittings i have two double 45's that can go anywhere and i also have two 90's. I also have a t block and valve for a drain port which can go anywhere. ( in some of the pictures the GPU has the fittings on the top for both just imagine one is on the top and one is on the bottom

Where are the rads and what rads?

You can see in the pictures in the front and they are 360 EKWB

my only opinion is to put the drain under the res move those wires and make the fill and drain easy to get to for maint

Could you make a sketch up in paint or something?

[bigjohnthescot]

you have a pretty straightforward loop the cpu is all your cooling right?

and the GPU 

[bigjohnthescot]

ok well it really doesnt matter as long as you have the plastic of the face of the cpu block and the water flowin in the in where it supposed to be flowin in and out where its supposed to be flowing out just pop the drain below your res there and becarefull of head pressure

Yea i know but im looking more of people to help me draw up a plan in paint or something 

[bigjohnthescot]

hard to do that off site

Run the card and cpu in parallel. Flip the rad so the ports are on the bottom.  Easy to make it work unless you are currently using the basement for harddrives. Not familiar with the case. I would also add a 240 up top if it were me.

[bigjohnthescot]

and remember to measure twice if not 3 times and have a stable clamped table you want those cuts SQUARE

The world is your oyster. I think putting the drain under the GPU will allow for maximum drainage

 

Pink indicates 90 degree bends

light blue is 90 degree fitting

purple is dual 45.

 

Be flexible, but should give you some ideas

Personally I wouldnt go parallel, but i;ve put it in anyway. You'll probably put the drain on the pump res.

Parallel and flipping the rad would ensure everything gets out if you out the drain on the rad with the res on the same line on the back. Would only need to lay the pc on its back and the system would be empty. That's what I would go for with such a simple loop. Just gotta ask yourself which you prefer at the end of the day. Headache of a build once or draining issues how ever often you see yourself doing that.

I dont think i am going parallel that was just a old picture just put one of the GPU fittings on the bottom
