Water loop help - DONE **56k**

[FarFarAway]

Right then

My loop looks like so:

Now I'm getting annoyed with the pipes getting in the way of my GPU and case fans.

My question is: where the hell else can I put it so it doesn't interfere with the GFX card?

First thoughts are turn the pump around sideways, run a T-line down to the inlet and it's easier. Trouble is that I do actually quite like having a res, though I don't mind getting a new one if that would help.

Any ideas?

One of the EK multi-option reservoirs would allow a little more flexibility Kemp. You could move it higher up the case than where your current one resides

 

[FarFarAway]

Hmm thats the thing I'm not sure if there's rom in the bay for a res tbh - it's mass crowded as it is :S

Could you not mod a res tube thingie to the top?

Like This

Or maybe one of them extra small res's, ones which fit in a shuttle??

 

[PV5150]

The beauty of the multi-res is that it comes with a clip that would enable you to situate the res completely separately from your drive bay area. Like say above your PSU or beside your motherboard (at the top of the mobo tray)

 

[FarFarAway]

Now it could go above my PSU - as long as it didn't leak

Best i could come up with. Would involve a nasty 180° turn though

 

[FarFarAway]

Would work if there was room in that gap for the pump, which there aint.

Lemme find a pic of the drive-bays

Hi

Is that either a PC 70 or a G 70?

Becuase, i have the PC 70 and are about to cut out a custom back plate on the laser cutter at school, for my case, i am going to put some holes in the back of it for my water cooling pipes, and wondered if you could do something similar, and mount the psu on its side, and then put the pump at the side of that, therefore leaving enough space for the pipes.

If you think that this is a good idea, i may be able to do a copy or an custom back plate when i cut mine out on the laser cutter for you.

Hope this helps

Aye tis a PC71

Well I don't need holes for pipes, but a custom backplate would be pretty damn sweet

 

[robump]

well im in the middle of my GCSE's at the moment, but when i cut mine out ill do you one to mount the psu on its side, then in there is enough space, you will be able to mount you pump at the side of it, if i get a D5, i will probebly have to to do the same thing.

[FarFarAway]

Wel iono about the pump, but a res could certainly go there

Thanks man

 

[robump]

Ok, when i have got it done ill pm you, could be towards end of next moth, got loads of exams at the moment.

Hi

Are these the screw holes you are using to attach your psu at the moment? These are the same as the template that is on the PC 70 so im guessing it is a universal fitting.

Its not finished yet, just an idea.

Rob

 

[FarFarAway]

Yep pretty sure that's them. They're just standard ATX specs mate so you should go too far wrong

 

[robump]

Right i have refined the design, is there anything you want engraving on it?

Rob

 

[serialk11r]

I don't know about the tubes but I think you should raise the pump, so that the inlet of the pump is flush with the outlet of the res, should increase flow a bit

 

[FarFarAway]

Thinking 5.5" bay res (cleared some space), dunno where the hell I would put the pump if I "raised it"??

 

[nunzio]

Do you need to move it?
