Considering a custom loop setup sometime soon...

Ok cheers :D I'm pretty sure I'll go with something very similar to that though :) I'm taking it when you say cutters.. you mean for the pipes right? and whats a psu bridge? (feel like a noob but I have a feeling I might know what it is just making sure lol)

Yeah get a set of pipe cutters, about £8, make the pipes really neat, a psu bridge is so you can connect just your psu up to your pump and be able to switch the pump on, it goes into the 24 pin cable from the psu, you then just flick the switch on the psu to get just your pump running.
 
Yeah I thought I read about that on one of the stickies :p should I bother with using clamps or something to hold the pipes on the barbs? Or is the fact the pipes ID 3/8" good enough to hold them on? :p I really can't wait to do this now lol xD

same tube size and barbs as i have specced you :)
 
Ok cool :) just realised the only way to fit a 360mm rad in the storm trooper is to have it mounted in the optical bay space xD could I achieve the same kind of cooling with a 240mm rad + a 120mm rad? would just make the loop a bit more complex wouldn't it?
 
I noticed ^.^ ok so I think my case can hold a 240mm rad at the top of (that is it has mounting for it if I remember rightly) I might draw up a diagram for a look at how I could do this lol. So excited for next month now :D
 
well if you look at how i have routed my pipes its not to bad.. main problem i have is i have NO room for my hdds :D i had to mount them on the sides

So this would work right? I mean the 120mm Rad could probably not be on the bottom of the case if it actually makes a difference? And yes I made the adjustments to the picture in MS paint.. cause I'm that cool xD
 
haha! nice paint skills bro! you dont need to go rad, component, rad, component tbh. so you could go

res > pump > 120 > 670 > cpu > 240> res

makes the routing of the tubes a lot nicer :)
 
Ah I see :) so instead of going pump > GPU it would go pump > rad > gpu? :p but if it goes that way wouldn't the water basically be going rad > res > pump > rad? hows that effect the water temps etc? xD
