Flow is too low with two pumps.

All good things in time. That was just the clearest picture I took so far. And yes I might turn the rad around so the ports are on the bottom. There is just little clearance for fittings if I do that.

Dammit now you've got me thinking how to change it again. But not until after the 5x exp thing on World of tanks is done.

doing that will create an air trap with rad ports on bottom

with them on top it will allow air to escape

Dammed if I do dammed if I don't. Ok if I go pump> 120rad> gpu> cpu> 360rad>res mounted under or where two fans are mounted at the top of the case. How about that? It puts the res at the top where air should go anyways and might make it easier to drain if I turn case upside down. And maybe to simplify it further I could remove the 120rad.

Well, base on that pic - i would move the 120 rad to the back. And use it as either an intake or exhaust. And use the fan on the bottom as an intake or exhaust.

So if you have 120 rad in the back, your setup would be res>pump>GPU>120>CPU>360>then res.

Yeah the flash on my camera washed out the cpu block a lot but you can see the loop going from the bottom rad to the res to the pump to the front rad. Performance wise it's doing quite well. But once I get enough time to disassemble this mess I'll see if I can attach the res mount under the top fans and decide whether I really need the 120mm rad. A 360mm rad should be enough for a i7 3820 and a 7970. Or I can find where I put that little swiftech mini res. It could fit almost anywhere.

I don't have time now.. but give me a day or two.. You REALLY need to redo that loop as you have a lot of restrictions and its setup really bad.

[Mnemonicman]

Well wish me luck and more importantly patience. This time I will have the beer after and not before I work on this. I would like to put the res outside the case but the original idea was to keep the case looking stock on the outside. Next build I can make flashy with fans everywhere and dual 480 rads.

pinch the line from pump to rad (pump outlet) not fully

does sound stop ? or bubbles go away

note: have loop set-up on table not MB
when doing this for this puts pressure on whole loop an may pop a hose off
if not secured good

[Mnemonicman]

Haha no beer in the loop. The problem was the beer in me. It was very good beer. No I've redone the loop so the res is mounted under the top two fans. The ports on the rad are still higher than the res so I will be tipping the case to move the air bubbles out. Had a bit of a leak down by the pump. Faulty 90 degree fitting. Fourth one so far. Replaced that and all is good so far.
