Very well done. The gold and black is pretty damn awesome, and I love seeing tangents from the common red and blue rigs.
 
I have a question regarding you CPU Waterblock.

Is the tubing connected to the left suppose to be connected to the radiator? I think the manual guide says the closest hole towards the centre should be for the inlet/intake? In other words liquid should be pulled in to the left and out from the right?

I have mine configured so that the tubing to the left of the cpu block is directly connected to the Res Pump, and the tubing from the right of CPU block is going to the Rad...

What way is best?
 
Brilliant build, im liking the choice of colours, might have to use them for my next build

keep up the good work though

Hey guys,

Sry didn't reply earlier...went on a nice 2 1/2 week vacation and didn't take my laptop or android phone with me (cruise to Western Caribbean and another week in Acapulco). In answer to your questions though...

also mate could you tell me where you got the cpu plate thingy from

I bought the CPU water block from performance PC. The GPU block from frozen CPU. The plate for the GTX 570 is the same one for the 580 also from frozen cpu

Step 9 on my directions says to have the center most whole as the inlet and the one on the far right the outlet. My Loop set up is RAD->CPU->GPU->RES->PUMP->RAD. There are lots of debates about loop order and overall it seems, to me at least, it's negligible unless you want that extra 1-2C difference. But I am a noob so take that with a grain of salt. Water enters from the RAD to the center most hole and exits the right outlet whole. I guess experimenting with loop order would be the best way. I also have a fill port up top and one at bottom to drain the fluid. I will replace the liquid and redo the TIM in about 3 months. Course if anyone has any suggestions to the loop order or anything please let me know since this was the first build I ever did...
 
Would using powdered copper dissolved in the coolant improve performance or clog things up faster than it's worth?

You could put something in the loop to stop it from clogging maybe?
