Initial sketches for W/C Loop

[PEXON]

Evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to be delving in the watercooling world soon, (God help me)! I was just looking for some feedback on my proposed loop(s). Obviously, I'm a novice at this wet lark, so some criticism would be helpful! Here's a quick sketch from what I've researched and thought up of. No ideas on what case yet, was edging to the 800D, just from what I have seen, most loops look messy in it, due to its size.

My first idea, was to have a single 360mm rad in push/pull to cool both CPU and GPU (possibly 2), but was having trouble figuring a way out to go from the reservoir to the pump, without having too much tubing and making it look a mess. I presume you can get pump/res combo's that fit nicely into 5 1/4" drive bays. I'm dreading what this is actually going to cost me! Anyway, any feedback would be much appreciated. Cheers guys.

with the 360 res/pump you shouldnt need 2 (750 lph pump)

although, i just realized i'm assuming your using the XSPC 360 kit.

It could make more sense to have the flow in the reverse of that, but it doesn't really matter.

6 and two 3s

Yeah your right, reverse that, cpu, then 360 rad, then gpu, then 240 back to the pump

Nice one dudes. The original sketch, was infact two different loops entirely, I didn't make that clear. So, it looks OK then? I'm also toying with the idea of a 480 rad in the bottom of a Silverstone TJ07; which looks a lot nicer than the 800D.

Not a bad idea, if one loop fails you don't lose the whole system /pessimism

It'll work but you'd have to ask someone else which direction to have the current flowing for an extra degree of cooling, I can only comment on the single loop

Re YJ07, i was considering push pull, sucking air in and exhausting out t'other side of the case, on the TJ07, I will make a blanking section in between the rad and mobo to stop any heat escaping up. Am I thinking along the right lines? Obviously I'm a water nub so...

Aeye?? Keeping the heat IN?

Containing a pocket of air that pushes out the back, not rising to the main compartment with the mobo etc. just the rad in bottom, suck in cool and and exhausting it out the bottom too... if you get me!
