So I decided to switch it up so the O11D XL has gone with its distro plate and I've now welcomed the Corsair 7000x with XD5 pump/res combo
I know I will be asked so main reason for this change is space, with thick rads top and bottom the O11 was very tight and if I ever needed to get to anything I had to dismantle the whole thing. The 7000x has much more space and much easier to get to everything
Moving onto the question, I do plan on adding 2 more fans up front and 1 at the back but haven't bought these yet but in the meantime I need to get my loop setup. The way it's pictured is pretty much how I want it, the back rad could be moved up a bit if needed and the top rad could move if needed but at the moment it's lines up so I can do a 90 straight from 1 rad to the other
So the question is, if this was your setup how would you route and bend your tubes? It's all going to be hard line tubing. The outlet of the res is on the left towards the back when looking at the picture so this would run to the left port on the GPU, this one I was thinking just straight out and up/90 when it gets behind the port on the GPU and 90 again coming directly into the port
Open to any/all suggestions as I might not have thought of something that could make this easier
EDIT: 3 new fans will be with me tomorrow, thank you overclockers
