Loop Ideas For A Pc75 Inc A Thermo Tube

[PHILIP1193]

i know this sounds lazy but can any 1 think and draw me a loop that would inc a thermo tube in a pc75 pleasae, im going for neat ness but i cant think of a way of looping it up that woudl inc a thermo tube i want one as i think they look cool, the tube can be vertile or horizontal , either or will be fine, the loop needs to inc 1 cpu one gpu a pa120.3 in top

Thanks much appreciated, drawn pictures would be most help full or a written desription that i coudl follow..

And remember its a pc75 that it will go in, winning loops will be done in my custom anodised pc 75 in a colour that has not been done before to such a high finish

Phil, you can mount a thermotube next to the mobo to the right, then just route the tubing to suit.

Will look really good there too.

you could configure it like: Thermo--->pump---->CPU---->GFX----->Rad---->Thermo and so on.

If your using a pump like the AQ50Z or D5 then it wont really matter where it sits in the loop.

I have heard this said quite a bit; does it really not make a difference?

IMHO, the placement of watercooling components in the loop doesnt really make a worthwhile difference to the temperatures. I saw a review of the effect on temps by changing the component order, and there was a difference of 0.5 degrees, which is within testing error anyway...

I`d try and get the radiator to be immediately before the heat source, so the water is at its coolest for the heat transfer, apart from that, I`d arrange it to make the tubing as neat as possible.

I like yr idea but where would the pump be placed i.e. where in the case, i know you have had this case water cooled so i guess yr my best bet on where i could put things as ud know if they would fit

I also remember reading that tube length makes more of a difference, than component order. Keeping it as short as possible is suppose to be a good thing, so I guess it all depends on your layout...

I usually look at what will be the easiest way to plumb in a system, as this is usually the way with the shortest tubing as well. It makes about as much if not more difference to run short tubing runs, and the benefit to you of an easy install is worth it IMO.
