Tubing Runs

[Shikarikato]

I have a few questions. How does it look? How many 90s do you think I should put in there, and how much do 90s affect the performance on a MCP655(D5)? Would I have to pick up 2 to maintain silence and a good flow rate if I wanted 10 or so 90s?

I doubt you'll have to have dual pumps for that I run dual D5's just because I can lol I have a dual alphacool D5 rez. Running dual loops.

I see more 45's than I do 90's in your rendition. 45 from lower rad to gpu2 45 from gpu1 to sb (total waste imho) 45 from vreg (another toal waste imho) to upper rad. and 45 back to rez the only 90's I can envision would be sb to cpu and cpu to vreg and most likely pump to lower rad. I see at least 3 90's rest being 45's or straight.

The 90's will knock some flow rate down but not enough to have to worry about it.

Oh I forgot to ask would 10 ft do fine in that rig? I was planning to put a 90 on top of the res since I'd be routing from the top rad through the back of the case and into the res to have a cleaner look.

I normally buy 15ft and have alot of extra left. Always good to have more and not need it then not enough and need more. Also if budget allows I always buy at least 2-3 more of each fitting just incase. same reason as above better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

What tubing do you use? I plan to use EC6 Blood red and I've read about plasticizing occurring with Primochill AdvancedLRT.

PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing - 7/16in. ID X 5/8in. OD - Elegant White never had any issues with plasticizers But I have also redone my loop twice in the last 1-2 years as I changed to an all copper loop. I previously used Phoybia rads with nickle and copper blocks. I'm currently running a 100% Alphacool loop with the exception of Monsoon compression fittings and a couple enzotech spacers that were out of stock on the alphacool side. Oh and my vid connector is koolance.

Oh I forgot about how much coolant. With a 765ml Reservoir + 2 RX 480s how many liters of coolant should I need?

 

[NeverBackDown]

765ml?! Damn lol, i can only see you using that just because you have room but i would imagine you might end up hitting the end of the Gpus on the way up? Or unless you just put it in the front?
