really want the res before the pump, other than that anything goes.

What rad are you using there d8ncer?

I'm looking at some at the moment for the same case and already know that the Thermochill doesn't fit.

AquaComputer Pro 360 Radiator

Not sure if I will be able to post link, but the rad is nice and thin.

*Don't link to competitors*

You will notice the other Noctua fan at the bottom middle of picture, or at least corner of it. this would allow a single radiator as well
and second loop for graphics card.

Remove the Competitor link asap before you go on a holiday

Cheers. Yeah..I was thinking of sticking a single rad there for the North bridge and ram if it's needed and keeping the CPU and GPU on the triple rad. I'm still swithering whether to just get the Thermochill 120.3 and make it fit though.

What's the reason for this? Would there be negative effects if I had the pump before the rad?

Sorry for the noob question.

It's for ease of bleeding so res>pump you pick the rest.

RJC · 4 Dec 2008 at 21:28

Also it ensure's the pump has a head of liquid when starting.

Heres my latest..its getting there slowly!

If you moved those harddrives you could get a karma bay in which would help cool the graphics cards and south bridge.

Yea, cheers. Thats where I was thinking.

Would I be ok to go like this

rad > cpu > gfx > pump > res >

Thanks

Hi, pump should always be next inline after the res as RJC says...

thats a bit strong.. its easier to fill but other than that there's no "must do" about it.

I've done a couple of setups where for the smallest/neatest tubing run I've not had the pump after the rest and its just a case of filling the res and tilting the case about until some of the liquid primes the pump, keep doing that until you have a loop of liquid then its just the same old filling the res whilst the pump is going routine.

Does the air flow ok out off the top? As there are only two fan vents, have you left some space between the rad and top of case? Was thinking about a triple rad for my case.

Ranger07 · 18 Dec 2008 at 12:49

I decided to put my rad completely outside the case for maximum heat removal.

Bradley8988 · 18 Dec 2008 at 12:49

Theres 3 fans on the rad sucking out the roof. And one at the rear.

Shaffa nice build dude but that fan controller needs fixing. needs to be red and not as bright.

shaffaaf27 · 18 Dec 2008 at 17:31

bradley, i know, ill change it when i get money and time lool, and more soldering experiance, just started electronic engineering at uni, so gimmie till the end of the year.
