Hello, I'm gonna be buying all my parts soon, and was wondering if you could double-check my fittings plan. I could probably save a ton if I ran just all normal fittings and no 45 degree/90 degree angles.

 

I already took my case apart and checked everything out to double check, then made a list of all the fittings and made a drawing, was hoping I've done everything right so far.

 

CANT WAIT TO FINISH MY BUILD LOG FINALLY 

 

The pump for some reason, the top is the outlet, and the side is the inlet.  (Makes no sense to me because normally your res would be above the pump)

 

I put a key in the picture, hopefully it simplifies it

 

Also, the way my screws are that came with my rads are, they're meant to go through a fan first, they're super long, and I don't have any others that'll fit, so I may have to run all fans as exhausts, should I do that then just change my exhaust fan to intake, and leave the front 3 fans as intakes too?

I think it is probably easier to buy all of the fittings to be compression fittings. Of course you can have your choice.

When you have you motherboard take a photograph of it with the motherboard installed into the 900D.

Test fit all of the components except for the watercooling stuff like radiators, fittings, waterblocks for the cpu and gpu.

It's already all bought, the only thing I'm buying is the other half of my watercooling supplies.

 

how am I supposed to do this wall with compressions? the one that has to run behind the board will surely kink without a 90 degree angle fitting going out the back

 

I did test it, and this seems to be the easiest way to do it.

The tubing from your quad rad to res could be ran behind your motherboard :)

 

it clearly says that....

>.<

Fine fine. Post a picture of the motherboard in the 900D. Everything is drawn out pretty clearly however you haven't displayed any measurements for the top radiator. Are you using a 480mm or a 360mm?

The tubing that will go behind the 900D motherboard tray will effect a lot of your cable management.

there's 4 boxes on it,(fans) which would make it 480mm :P

 

Anyways, the cable management isn't gonna be a problem, I'll be buying custom sleeved extensions and probably only running those behind the tray since they'll be slimmer than the giant bundles of cables that come with my psu. (which will probably only be in the basement, and a tiny bit of them routed up the bottom)

Oh sorry I didn't notice & thanks for the picture. What is the thickness of the radiator on top: 30mm or something bigger?

Getting a sneak peak at your ssd...840 :)

Both are 60mm, I may have to change the fitting that comes from the rad, that'll attach to the tubing behind the tray.  I think I need it to be a 45 degree angle, so I can run it out that hole where my fan cable+ cpu power is plugged in
