Hi all,

Having bench tested my SandyBuild for the past few days, i have an urge to crack on with my build having see how much faster this set up is, its astonishing.

I am confused on how to run my loop etc.

I was going to go down the dual loop route but now im thinking i want a touch of elegance and less clutter, So, single loop Dual rad jumps out at me.

I would think the following would be ideal:

Pump > CPU > Smaller Rad > GPU > (will be GPU2 SOON) > RAD > (RES If i have one) > Pump...

I have a PA120.3 RAD that i am going to mount in the roof, would this single rad be able to cope? or should i look toward a second rad?
 
what gpu's??

I currently have 4 rads in my 800d but obviously there has been some modding done to fit them in. I run dual loop at the moment and ive got far to much radiator space going on for my needs. I think you will be fine with a triple and a single to cool 2 cards and a cpu
 
I would say then that with a triple rad and a single rad you will be fine.

I have my gtx 480's in sli beeing cooled by 2 dual rads and they keep nice and cool and i thinks 570's run cooler than 480's
 
i should be ok with the one loop then?
where could i mount the rads etc ;)
you have a build log dude?
 
I dont have a build log mate but i could deffo take a few pics and send them to you. I did a quite a bit of modding to my case to get it just how I wanted it but im hoping now that it should last me for a long time.

If your not to fussy about tackling the modding side you can get a triple rad in the roof and a single on the back all internally housed and that requires no modifications.
 
Have a look at http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=81684 (800D/Dual loop/580GTX SLI etc) for some ideas.
