welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums @Zambox!

are you trying to repurpose the AIO?

if so, don't. if not, where is the pump?

Hi thanks for help me and reply fast me, the pomp is the combo ek this model EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB PWM (incl. sl. pump)

And the cpu block is this EK-Velocity RGB - Nickel + Plexi

The tube are pet maybe for me most easy bend...

I projected all angle of 90° maybe more easy with the xspx tool

I prefeer the lock loop more clear possible

For your experience is ok ?

Thanks so much and sorry my english.

from my experience, hardline will not make those sharp bends at the CPU/RAD/RES.

to be honest, unless you are including the GPU, you'd fair better with just an AIO.

the GPU on water will perform a lot better than the CPU will in comparison.

but if you are dead-set on just the CPU, till you get the items and get them into the case, a lot will change.

scale, orientation and ease will deffo make you second think your plans.

Thanks for the considerations.
The gpu in the future will be liquid cooled type msi rtx 2080ti x ek and insert another pe ek 120mm radiator on the back.
I'm afraid of not being able to make the curves ....
Advice for better and easier tube route?
Thank you for your time.

Looks okay to me, I think with 12 mm tubing you might be able to do it, it'll be tight though. Take a look at my 16 mm piping, the bends can't be any shorter on the Res --> Pump and the Rad --> CPU block because bent tubes do not go into fittings well.
