rearranging watercooling

[grandpatzer]

So after several days and many hours finishing and starting watercooled pc Ive decided to in future when I have energy and time to completely re arrange cooling components and tubing.

So basicaly I will turn rad so it is alot closer to res and pump, I will put pump and res higher up so that there is more space for PSU and gpus so it is easier to work with.

Maybe I even install res outside case to the 140mm fan holes rear case?!

The pump will temporary be installed with cable ties and tape until I get one of those foam things (Link)

lol I butchered ur pic but heres my suggestion.

get a fill port and keep rez in case do the rest of ur comments say. make tubing less droopy fill ports are like 12$ US just need the fill port an extra 1/2 barb and a little tubing.

Thanks, I have to look into the fillport solution, is this a tubing going from top of radiator where it is using quick disconnect for easy filling?

is the red rectangel you draw where the fill port should be or where the res should be?

For now I only will only move top out tube on res to bottom to get rid off air pocket as all the othet stuff takes too much time/work right now, I want to finally be able to use this computer lol.

no thats to simulate tubing lol the fill port bolts to the roof (after you cut/drill a hole) it has a 1/2 barb on the bottom of it you thn put another 1/2 barb in top of rez blammo instant fill without touching rez. Depending on release date of the Switch 810 if it releases before I change my loop i'll have a fill port in the top of my 932. it has a premade spot for it. If i get the Switch then I'll cross that road when i get there lol.

Ok so then the tubing between case and reservoir is installed permanently, seems like if bleeding show wery little air this tube between res and case also will have som coolant in it, infact maybe it should be 100% full to avoid any air?

when filling it'll fill up but when running all bled out I'd say no I wouldnt want fluid in it as it wont have alot of circulation. A fill port is just a filling aide so you dont have to pull rez out to fill or risk spilling inside the case
