I'm about to venture into my first watercooling project and for the last couple of days I've read countless articles on the subject, but I'm sure I'm still a bit green.
Anyway, I want to watercool my CPU and GPU in my full-tower (server size) case and have devised the following diagrams on how to put it all together.
Any input on which diagram I should go with will be appreciated, and if there are flaws or errors, please point them out.
Common feature of all the diagrams is that that since I have a full-tower case (I have room above the Power Supply Unit), I want to put the radiator/heatercore on top. Will this hinder performance?
On to the diagrams:
Diagram 1
Reservoir-->Pump-->Radiator-->CPU-->GPU-->Reservoir
Diagram 1a
Same as 1, but uses Y splitters on the CPU and GPU
Diagram 2
Reservoir-->Pump-->CPU-->GPU-->Radiator-->Reservoir
Diagram 2a
Same as 2, but with Y splitters.
EDIT:
hmm...wonder why clicking on the link does not work on this forum (it automatically brought me back to the message). Anyway, if you want to see the diagrams (and clicking on the above links doesn't work), you can always copy and paste the following URLs:
