So, here soon in a month or so i'm going to upgrade my systems case, cooling solution and etc.
I have chosen to go with a Corsair 900D and I plan to do 2 seperate loops for my 7600k and my two 1070's.
If anyone can help with the tube order/layout it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Also, i'm aware the route doesn't matter in terms of temps. I just want the best looking routes.
 
Are the rads you are using cross flow or are the barbs on the same side of the rad ?
hard tube or soft ?
all strait fittings ? or some 90 degs ?
 
Barbs are on the same side, Soft tubing and all straight fittings
 
how are you putting the rez/pimp 2 in the back there ? won't that be in the way of the gfx cards ?
Or is it on the side pnl some how ? 900.jpg
 
Oh ****, you're right. uhh
The reason I thought it would fit there is because of LTT video on the "ULTIMATE "Overkill" Water Cooled Build a Gaming PC Computer "How To" Guide"
In the video he placed his res there but now that I think about it, his is very likely smaller than mine. I'm going to use Thermaltakes Pacific DIY LCS PR22-D5 w/e pump res combo

I'm kinda lost now, I don't know where else to stick the 2nd res

Nevermind, can't. Literally can't without modding...
Okay, I guess I can ask. What's a good case for dual res. setup?
 
Any reason you must go with 2 loops ? ( I know its kicks *** ) One pump will run that loop fine .

Or If you don't need those drive cages in the front .

Def. doing it for aesthetics. I thought about "option 2" spot you marked but am not sure about it. I really wanna be sure I can mount it there.

you might have room as I think the second rubber gromets are more foe eatx mbs so you will not need them they might fit there ( might need to drill some holes for mounts )
 
Actually! There HAS to be a way I can mount one to the rad on top. The only issue is I'm not sure if running this specific pump/res combo sideways will be an issue.
If not, I can always buy that dual res mount from the link I posted earlier..

Actually, the dvd drive cages would need to come out.. hmmm
 
Looks like dual res is possible in the TT W100.
It may be a Caselabs copy but I don't care.
 
You could easily do this in the 900D. Put another drive cage to the side, get rid of the ones in the bottom for rads and install the dual res/pump combos in a SINGLE loop against the cages since the cages have 120mm fan holes in case you ever wanted to stick a fan there to cool the drives. I believe I've seen this setup before and plan on doing this once if financially able to down the road. I also own a fancy loop in a 900D.
