Hello, building my first water loop and I have selected evertying that I am going to use except for what angle fittings I will be using. I have an idea for how it is going to look when I am done but I would like to get some opinions from some users with some experience so I can be sure that the fittings I have are going to work well.
Here is a badly drawn picture of what I am going to be working with. The res is a Photon 170.
Judging from the image I think that I am going to need:
2x 90 degrees for the top right res connectors
2x 45 for the cpu block
1x standard fitting for the top fitting and 1x 45 or 90 for the bottom fitting for the gpu
2x 45 for the res
2x standard for the 280 rad on the bottom, especially considering it will have push/pull
Does anyone else have any input?
P.S. I know the image is not drawn to scale well. The fan on the bottom will not be getting in the way of the tubing on the rad at all and the 280 rad will not have fans that close to the res. There should be about 2cm of space between the second set of fans and the Photon.
Almost forgot, loop order is going to be res>280 rad>gpu>cpu>420 rad> res
or it is going to be res>280>gpu>420>cpu>res
Just depends how much tubing I want to show.
I know it won't affect temps, but it still irks me a bit that the water goes straight from the hot gpu to cool the hot cpu. :/
