Anyone willing to take some time out to help me with first water loop?

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to take some time out to help me with my first water loop.

Bit of a strange build, going for overkill on the rads to get a quiet system with enough cooling to expand down the road (also why I have chosen two loops). Plan to go hard line, but have soft tube fitting on there right now to test the system.

You say u chose overkill rads to get minimal noise, while using 120mm fans and two pumps ( wich are the biggest source of noise in a decent loop? ) 140mm fans tend to be quieter, I find and when you run your fans @ 500rpm 24x7 even one d5 pump @ 1/5 wich is the minimum setting, is by far the biggest source of noise, and you have two of those ? But perhaps they are not that noticable on a closed build.

120mm fans were my only option, this case doesn't support 140mm fans, so I picked the EK-Vardar EVO 120ER that seem to be highly recommended when it comes to noise due to the stop-start function. I also plan to use Aquacomputer Shoggy Sandwich Anti Vibration Pump Pads in conjunction with the EK soft Revo D5 Decoupler to try and mitigate as much noise as possible....but I have a feeling there are always going to be compromises when trying to balance noise, upgradeability, form and function.

What I was really after was a little help with planning the runs after all this is my first water cooled build.

Also are you doing 2 loops? That's probably completely pointless tbh.

Yes, 2 loops, as I plan on going hard line I wanted it to be a little more simple to switch CPU or GPU expansion, without having to drain the full loop......also i would be telling a fib it I did not admit the aesthetics of 2 loops is appealing.
