And the block:

 

I think I speak for everyone when I say

Ooh! Shiny


have you actually got any designs? or is it just going to be played by ear?

 

Yes, are these:


Wich its the best loop for me??


With this:



Wich is better?


This??

Loop 1: Pump-> VGA -> CPU -> Rad-> Res -> Pump ( This loop is more clean and less restrictive)



This??

Loop 2: Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> GPU -> Res -> Pump ( Use a Bitspower Crystal 90º Fitting in pump exit or no use 901 fitting, I think thats the best option!)





Or other??


Thanks!

 

I think the first one would look a lot cleaner / nicer / simpler. Watercooling is nice, but when you have a lot of tubing, it hides all the goodies that its meant to be cooling, and I'm sure if your buying expensive stuff, you want to be able to see it. Just my opinion

 

the thing that I can't get over... your Res isn't going to be visible in the case at all...

If the case has gone to the Anodiser's then how can you put a window in it for people to see your goodies within? (or so to speak)

 

loop 1 look cleaner!

 

The thing I don't like about the pump/res combination is that you normally would put the res in the top of the case, and the pump on the bottom. Now the res is at the lowest point of the loop so all of the air will get stuck inside your radiator.

 

Loop 1 is by far the best way to route your loop



.....and i don't know where that myth started but no way will air will get trapped in the radiator for any length of time with that amount of flow running through there - air will always be forced round to the res whether its at the highest or lowest point

 

my suggestion

 

I learn something every day, tnx

 

I would suggest that as well.
Common rule of WC is always go Res => Pump => Rad => Components... Then again, it shouldn't matter THAT much, but it's cleaner most of the time.

 

Thanks everyone for suggestions!!

Update:

I dismounted the Cosmos S for black mat powdercoating!!
