Tubing loops, will this one work?

Freddie589 · 3 Sep 2011 at 12:44

Ok so I basicly think I have my loop sorted. As you can see my my amazing drawing I will be using a 700D with a CPU and GPU block. The plan is this:

RAD>PUMP>RES>GPU>CPU>RAD>

The picture is this:

**KEY**
Yellow - out
Black - in
The two extra holes on the rad - just ignore them, I was thinking of mounting my rad the other way.

The only rule I can seem to find is this

Only the res before the pump is important really and a res higher than the pump.

But would this setup still work and be safe?

Thanks
Freddie

That'll be a bitch to fill and bleed, swap the pump inlet and outlet round.

Not too sure what you mean? So just reverse the loop?
Pump>Rad>cpu>gpu>res>pump
I have also editted the OP with a diffrent loop.

Yep. Should always aim to have the res on the pump inlet, otherwise filling the loop becomes a complete pain to do. After that it doesn't make any difference what order you put radiators or blocks.

Right thanks Jokester! I think I am going to go for the 2nd loop then

Always res > pump.

Which ties in nicely with IDEA 2 in OP.
