Yep give it a few weeks and will add cpu block in

You could (in theory) add the CPU block without too much hassle, if you can get the positioning right, you might not even need to completely drain the loop.

If you run the tubes out of top the GPU block and run the CPU / GPU in parallel rather than in series.

Glad ya got it sorted.

@ Deathjester. Yeah im always adding in and taking out bits without draining the loop, although with a loop as simple as that i cant imagine it takes long refilling it.

Deathjester · 9 Jul 2015 at 16:37

Me neither, it's just a pain to re-route all the tubing all the time!

Interesting ill have to have a look into this idea , how does it compare to series ? noob question but i am new to this if i take the plugs out of the top of gpu arent i going to have cooling fluid shoot out or ?

Great news that it's working better!

still cant believe its taking all that rad space to cool 1 gpu. glad you got it sorted though fella as there is nothing worse than having high temps.

Yes you would , just drain down to the level below the gpu.

thanks for advice , going to do some reading on parallel weekend and look at getting a block for cpu.

Well, i have 14 ff5's ek vardar fans now push pull on my radiators, i've already using them in p/p configuration taking air from outside and blowing inside air with 2 rear 120mm fans.

The temps are now 9 degrees cooler than before.

so for radiators it's better to take always the air from outside even if they are on top or bottom side.

Hope this help.
