Nothing wrong with it. I used to do it.
Besides the diagram shows a good loop. Personally I hid both rads in the lower compartment. 2 rads with one pulling in air and the other in pull/push has some very nice flow going through it.
Your loop is fine. Please get rid of the HDD cages though
This is my current loop(s) until I get my plexiglass delivered. Plan is to remove the optical cage completely and get creative. Both my radiators are in the bottom. I also have my STX audio card hidden behind the panel between the GPUs

Ok thanks I'll stick with my first setup, how are the temps on your pc? Is is efficient enough. And I am getting rid of thoes hard drive bay as soon as I get the case, also I wanted a 360mm rad at the top and a because I am spray paintitng my fans gold do I want to show them off.
I have a plan. A solid plan. Thank you for your amazing contribution. I just wanted to make sure I am making the most out of the WC gear I'm using. I have no shame in asking SuB it's how we all learn and evolve.

Your latest plan of the tubing going seems pretty good,same way as i would do
Nice quote btw
The 900D is one hell of a case, can do so much with it, lookin forward to this
Thanks, I like the quote as it explains alot
. I'm still in the planning stage of the build as you can probably tell and it won't go up for a while yet but I am excited because this build should be epic lets see how this turns out as well fingers crossed.BTW you was talking about this plan weren't you?
My advice would be not to obsess about it. The order of the components makes little if any difference. You want short tube runs and a clean look. I would use Radeon HDX's mockup. And try to rout as much tubing out of sight as possible. More importantly if you are using flexible tubbing, make sure you have any angled fittings you plan on using. They add little restriction and can clean up the design.
Also push pull adds little unless the fans are not adequate so unless you want them for the look they add noise with little preformance.

I'm using acrylic tubing that I am bending myself, I think thats the best way to get a clean design, thats the one I'll stick with.
I have my CPU clocked at 4.6ghz at the moment and fans are set to 40% (i like silence) via lamptron controller. I think on avg the cpu temp peaks at 50C unless i play BF4 when it goes to around 58-60.
GPUs are not overclocked but never go over 40C. Ambient temp in my apartment is around 25C because of living on top floor/summertime.
Just FYI,
If you go with the EK XTX rad in the top and decide on a pushpull setup, the space you are left with to plug in the 8pin ECU cable/cpu fan headers etc is ridiculously tight. You may even need to install them before adding the radiator.

Ok cool, I am going to clock my CPU to 4.2 at most but I want to crazy OC the GPU'S to it's limits that's why I want to be sure it has no thermal limitations.
