Thinking about going back to a custom loop

Currently have the following:

I'm thinking of putting a XSPC in one of the front bays, a EK Supreme HF block, and a 120.1 rad where the current H70 rad sits. Though saying this, if I'm not going to see good temp drops, I'm not sure if it's worth the bother?

Think this could work? I'd quite like an easy way of draining it, so would imagine I'd need a t pipe in there somewhere.

Also, what tubing would be the best for this? And any recommendations for a liquid that's UV reactive so I can show the front res of a bit as well?

Sorry for the questions!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I can't think of where a 120.2 would sit nicely though.

Cheers, I'm not sure I want to mod the case to that extent so will more than likely give it a miss.

That's a tight fit. Would it affect the GPU airflow though? I would only want a loop for the CPU tbh, taking the GPU stuff off always puts me off.

Is that image part of a thread?

It might as you would be dumping the cpu heat inside the case. Watercooling the GPU is SO WORTH the hastle. No fan spin up noise, no fan noise under preasure and much lower temps.

What about a 120.3 and running the CPU and GPU of that?

Would it heat up the motherboard components too much?

Starting to think it's not worth the effort tbh.

I have no particular reason for wanting to do it, other then just wanting to do it. I'm not sure if that makes sense though!
