Hi Chaps,
Got my hands on a well priced EK-KIT S240 and have already bought some extra fittings (a 90 degrees, some 45's) to try and make it look as good as possible but am struggling to figure out how to get the 100 SPC-60 pump/res fitted so I can keep it at the front.
This is just a CPU look (for now!). Every AIO I have had has been loud as anything, so hoping this works but please ignore any bad "routes" that my WC is going through, not entirely sure what the rules are but the EK instruction book said it didnt matter. This is what I am trying to do
Red is the pump/res, the blue is the CPU and the green is the 240 rad. I've not found anyone that has put the res in the front with the same pump as me yet, I'm sure there is a reason why! But I don't want the pump round the back, want it on show it was expensive enough! It goes Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> Pump, I figured thats okay.
The Question: How... do I get my res/pump to sit there? Behind it is a 80mm fan vent and I cannot find anything to fit the thing above where my gpu sit. Also, is this just a bad idea? Or is it only bad because I cannot find a fitting..
Other question: Does it matter which way round you fit the CPU block? I wanted it vertical, with the in and out above/below, is this an issue? The block looked square...! Heck does it matter which hole you you connect to what? There aint any valves or anyting that only work a certain way right?
Another question: Should I add in a quick release somewhere? Draining this will be a nightmare, so a quick release should help right? Thing is they are like £30! Will I need both a female, male and then 2 more compression fittings? Can I stick a quick release say on the rad? So it has a nice long tube attached?
