OK, so having seen the recent thread about what happened to someone's water loop due to plasticisers leaching, and blocking the CPU block etch I have been galvanised into improving my loop. (I have a xspc kit same as he did.)
I have the 280 rad in the front of my 750D case.
I have 3 steps to my plan, but I need a sanity / spec check-

I want to (as my finances allow)
1) Fill the case with Radiators & fans

2) Add GPU Blocks for my existing 2 x R9 290 Tri-X cards, and possibly add a third GPU too

3) Invest in 2 more monitors or 4k (I have a one 27" at the moment)

This is what I am aiming for in my case (sorry for poor quality phone pic)

As you can see, I want to add a split for a drain / fill point.
This is my basket -
YOUR BASKET
1 x Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 420 - Black £62.99
1 x Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 140 - Black £29.99
2 x Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 16/11 - Clear £5.99 (£11.98)
4 x XSPC G1/4" 45° Rotary Fitting (Black Chrome) £4.49 (£17.96)
1 x XSPC G1/4" 4 Way Fitting (Black Chrome) £3.95
8 x XSPC G1/4" to 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD Compression Fitting (Black Chrome) £3.49 (£27.92)
1 x XSPC G1/4" Female to Female Rotary Fitting (Black Chrome) £2.99
Total : £167.38 (includes shipping : £8.00).




Have I missed anything? I might order some more angled fittings just in case.

Those rads seem to be pretty good from what i've read. Are there another type that would be better?
Also, what 140mm fans should I be considering?
Cheers
 
From comments elsewhere on this forum, I would forget the 140 at the rear, with the other two rads it will contribute very little for the extra £30.

I have two 240 rads in my system in a smaller case, my circuit is Bay-res/pump>CPU>top rad>bottom rad>Bay/res.

A few 45 and 90 deg rotaries certainly made the plumbing flow better.
 
Cant see the 140 doing allot tbh like Malcolm has said but am not overly experienced in different configs. Though with the GPU blocks as well it might.

Also my loop is done like res>pump>rad>res>cpu>gpu>rad back to res (See link in sig)

That's probably just confusing you more :D sorry

Edit: Don't see fans unless you have them all ready
 
Sorry guys but you're wrong about the rear rad, if it was some EK 120mm job then yes it wouldn't be doing much, but a HWL Nemesis 140 will cool almost as well as the XSPC 240 in the front, they're beasts.
 
Your proposed T-Line will work as a drain port but I would not use it as a fill port, it's below your res and pump, you wont be able to get water to it and will risk dry running your pump.
