Hi,

I have the following plan:

Rads
2 x EK-CoolStream PE 360 (1 facing front, 1 facing top_
1 x EK-CoolStream XE 240 (1 at the bottom of the case)

Blocks
1 x EK-Quantum Momentum ROG Strix X570-E
2 x EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 2080

I was trying to calculate the pressure based on the amount of 90 degrees I have in my hard tubing (and the fact that it's 10 OD tubes) but, seems that I can't figure this out. I have 15 90 degrees bends by mimimum.

First, I can't figure out why all the Res-combos are mostly D5s, also, I always thought DDC for this amount of bends should be prefered.

My plan is either fix the pump-res combo on the 3 fan rad facing front, or, to fix it standing on the 240 super thick rad that sits at the bottom... either way, I think I need a tall res due to the amount of liquid in the loop.

Do you think a D5 would suffice (or should I invest in a DDC and built it seperated) and if so... any suggestions which?

Any help will be appriciated.
 
Regarding: "the size of the res is just for aesthetic reasons", I actually thought that it'll help me to fill it up , or, maybe connect it to the filler port...
