Water loop help

[younus1932]

Hey guys ,

i purchased a whole pc from ebay and frozencpu with the help of u guys..gonna post the final pics when it is done. At the moment i am stuck with the loop as i dont know which is outlet and which of the hole is inlet. As for the reservoir it mentions the outlet and inlet holes. So no problems with the reservoir but i just dont know about the other components. so please help me with the build. i have put both the pictures the original and the paint version.. please use the paint app with the original image and and let me know from which hole the tube should go to the other holes.

I might be wrong with the cpu block but from what I can see I believe that the right hand side is inlet and the left is outlet. Even if I am wrong it should only affect temps by a couple of degrees. The easiest way to check would be to drop xspc a line with the image and ask for their opinion. Actually having checked the xspc website for a reference image I am now pretty certain that I'm right. The outlet is the one which you can see more of the copper plate through (which in your case is the left one).

As for the gpu blocks they don't have dedicated inlets or outlets usually, so as long as you have a connection on each side you should be fine. By which because of your sli bridge means going in on the top card on the right hand port and leaving from the bottom card on the right hand port. Or vice versa. Going in on the left and/or out on the left could render a card or more to not be cooled. Edit: or worse a leak. Also don't forget to plug the unused ports.

Just remember TIDY and as little hose as possible dude. Take your time and make it look epic first time round.

Ill quite often plan the loop and have a play before I do anything to make sure I get it set up right first time.

Tom thanks alot for all the videos man .. because of your video i was able to put together all the components in the NZXT 810 and again thanks to your guide i could fit the XSPC gpu block

guys please just download the image , edit it with the paint application and make a lines of the way tubing should be done. really need a help there !

Ive covered the 810 in detail when it comes to water fella so Im glad it seeing being put to good use.

Just PLEASE make it tidy, if you have to wait a few days to get a different fitting in the long run its well worth it

Rads are the same as gpu blocks: no set in or out. Just go in one side and out the other.

As far as using paint, i'm answering from a mobile phone because i'm in a foreign country (no easy access to pc where I am). So, sorry, I can't do that.

Also, please listen to Toms advice. You will enjoy the process more and be happier with the end result.

As far as loop order... I would probably go: res > top rad> cpu block > gpu bridge > bottom rad > res...

But that is just me. And I've not yet got all my kit for a custom loop. .. so perhaps I'm not the best judge on that.
