Can you take a look at what I'm thinking?

Hello. I've been planning a custom case and loop for some time now and i have finally drawn up a model. I was wondering if people could share their thoughts on how I've laid out the loop and let me know if anything could be a problem.

Here's a pic...

2 x 45mm dual 120's
4 x SP 120's
D5 pump
200mm tube res

To begin with this will be a CPU only loop. Then when i upgrade my GPU i'll want to through that in the loop.


The pump will go in the bottom left with hose joining the rads, pump and res.
Then the hoses pass through those holes via some bulk head fittings. I plan to go res>pump>then whichever fits/flows the best.

Good? Not good? Let me know. Thanks!

i think that would be the cleanest loop.
in other words the best in my opinion
and love the formfactor of this build btw

Cool thanks. I wanted to make sure because iv'e heard people say "The header tank should be at the top."

Do you think i have enough rad area for a CPU and GPU?

2 x 45mm dual 120's

will be iffy on 2x 240x 45 radiators. you might not be able to overclock as
deep on CPU and/or GPU(s). it'll be a choice for you on temperatures and
fan speed needed to hold a temperature you'd be comfortable with.

i like low 60° loaded on 28°-30° ambient with 1200rpm or less fan speed.

Hello. The only time my rig will be screaming is when I game, and I'm cool with it getting louder. With that in mind should I be alright?
