Water loop - where to put these rads???

phinix · 24 Oct 2008 at 17:03

I have two radiators - one Swiftech 220 and one XSPC 120. Pump/cpu block is Swiftech drive. GTX280 block is Aquagrafx G200.
Question: How should I configure this loop?:

1) Pump/CPU block -> GTX280 block -> 220 rad -> 120rad -> Pump/CPU block

or

2) 1) Pump/CPU block -> 120rad -> GTX280 block -> 220 rad -> Pump/CPU block

???

Won't really matter (temperature wise), it's not a complicated loop, go with what's easier to route inside your case (imo). If you have a res, make sure that's before your pump.

Thanks. In this case a lot easier will be: CPU/pump-GPU-220-120-Tline-CPU/pump.

I use T line just before pump.

Good luck, get a picture up on the forum when you've installed your loop!

No problem

Now I can only show how it would look like.
Thats the cube (not finised of course, if you want to see all, go to my worklog):

Here's the sketchup how it will be built:

haha that looks tidy

as a matter of interest what software did you use to produce that model? auto cad?
