EK Watercooling loop, is this right?!

Hey Everyone,

If I'm putting a drain into my system, I just need to know that its ok to use my pump / res outlet and use a Y split, stop valves on both that way I can divert the water when I'm draining... I mean, that's ok right?

Thanks!

I'm going to be running this...

With the Y on the outlet... obviously I need to stop valve the drain tube but If I don't stop valve the other side of the Y to the GPU block then surely it wont all divert to the drain?

Edit : I'm also using the bottom port for the inlet, the top port just for filling.

Thanks for the reply..

Turns out I have a spare drain port at the bottom of my pump/res combo.

I did hardline tubing for all of it bar the drain tube, for my first time its gone ok, I'm just bleed testing now.

I'm not happy with the CPU out to RAD hardline but apart from that its all golden, I have pastel white fluid to go in once im done testing with distilled.

Yeah, I don't even have a side window *yet* but I just like the idea of hardline's better...

Need to tidy it up, going to get a backplate on the GFX card but she runs so cool and quiet its unreal!

I need a PETG Hardline god to come over and sort that CPU out to RAD line.
