I don't think the layout will make much of a difference, what problems do you see arising? you can see mine if you want (same setup different layout)
White knight build update time
- Thread starter fantasticCG
- Start date
The cooling to the CPU block will it effect temperatures?
Also for mounting the res tube next to the mobo do u think I'll get away using double sided tape
Heavy duty stuff, or should I drill the holes for it?

Drill holes, you don't want to take chances on your setup, and drilling is much more secure, you'll also get piece of mind and it's more likely to give less vibrations (not sure on that one)
with cpu temperatures, the loop is the same temperature throughout so it doesn't matter what point the block is in the loop

Any idea what drill bit to use for the EK 250 holders?

not sure, when I drilled, I got the res first, then put it against the screw that was going to attach it to.....
Everything has come out so i can attach the res to the case.
Also i noticed this
Not sure if it will be ok when the tubing will come down into the top of the T block,
or if it will cause too much pressure ?

I think its supposed to be the rad ports, they are not level.

yep, getting the res and pumps in was annoying when you have to pull stuff out.
can you not bash the ports into position?

Nope I'm afraid not going to have to choose another rad.
Been looking at the xspc rads.
You know what there like?

An update of the tube routing
Going to need a slight bend from the res to the bottom of the gpu block on the Acrylic !!!
I have fitted one of the new ek 480 PE Rads in the bottom, the top one has a bent thread again!!! second ek rad i've had that this has happened.
Not sure if i should send it back or go on with it.
The replacement would be here until jan

the coating on that looks pretty good
I don't know about xspc rads, I own a koolermaster which I will never go with again and a phobya, both seem to scratch pretty easily but I guess that's just how rads are.

Agreed Neil. Looks sweet as but some serious bad luck.
Little update still waiting for a replacement 480.
