Can someone please help me work out my best design for my loop? I have a corsair 800D and I am looking to upgrade from a dual radiator to a tripple.

Currently this is my setup:

Do I keep the fans pointing the way they do, or is that wrong?
Should I put a 90 degree on my res so I can still put the hose straight up into the rad and then rad to CPU, GPU, Pump, RES like it is now?

Should it be something completely different?

Thanks

EDIT: If I was to add a tripple rad at the top, then a single rad on the back would that be too much flow for the one pump? Or will it manage ok? Would it work with just a double radiator at the top then a single on the back to help towards the graphics cooling and the double doing the CPU?

I'm assuming your loop is reversed IE, pump goes to GPU first? else your loop design won't work you need the res before the pump to feed it fluid

Have more intakes than out for positive pressure, one pump depending on the pump would handle everything fine (DDC18w , D5) . you could get away with a 240 + 120mm happily but if you have space you can always go for more rad space

Loop order is not important, as long as the res feeds fluid to the pump, you could have it going practically any route as long as it's neat
 
Sorry yes that's how it is set up... I have a Liang DDC, so the res feeds in the top and pump pushes it out the side I believe?

Would I be better getting a single rad over 1 tripple rad to go between GPU and CPU so that it cools the water down a bit after it has passed through the GPU?
 
Anyone before I order my parts?

Am I better to have a tripple rad that feeds:
RAD > RES > PUMP > GPU > CPU > back to RAD

OR

A double rad and a singe rad:
D RAD > RES > PUMP > GPU > S RAD > CPU > back to D RAD

Thanks
 
What will be the most efficient cooling? Will having a single rad between the GPU and CPU make a difference? I can make either of them look a way I am happy with and not messy. It just depends which will give the best effect. I am assuming a single in between will help because if the GPU is say 60 degrees, then my CPU will never get below that if both are working hard?
 
Also it would be better to have the fans pulling air out of the case through the rad, if your mounting it in the top of the case
 
Going on you linking a D5 vario pump in the other thread after being advised against the v4 from xspc... you can easily fit a 140 and 360 in and you'll be set for wc'ing.

THe argument against 120/140s is that its not worth the restrictions, however with only 2 rads, 1 cpu block and 1 gpu block, you're fine. A D5 has enough head pressure for you to run it on speed setting 2-3 and have a super fast flow.
