Flow order in evolv atx

Devoluter · 7 Nov 2015 at 14:39

I have all the parts for my build now and I'm pondering over the order for flow. I've read lots that says it doesn't really matter but I thought I'd see if anyone as any opinions on this.

Both Radiators will be intakes and then there are 3x 140mm fans at the top as exhaust

Here's a mock picture of what I have so far, ignore the straight run connecting the 2 rads I just thought it might look cool but it sags.

Instead of RES/PUMP>GPU>CPU>RAD>RAD
Should I do RES/PUMP>GPU>RAD>CPU>RAD
Or should I just do whatever looks best?

In my opinion, i think you should try change that tube going from the rad to rad, think it ruins the look going all the way across personally.

In my original post "ignore the straight run connecting the 2 rads I just thought it might look cool but it sags."

Whatever you think looks best, bigger rad to the roof and small one on the front might look more balanced, but it's down to personal taste.

I like the rad mounted cup holder, very handy when building

I agree that might look more balanced I was just worried about having a rad on top with hot air rising (my last case was an ft-02 where the whole top is an exhaust).

It's doing my head in now, think I'll just connect it all up and see how it goes.

Air rises so slowly it makes no difference in a case.

Makes no diffence go for shortest tubing lengths

The temps will even out regardless of how its ran

Never even thought of that, shortest tubing lengths. I like that idea, cheers
