Also grabbed the old case i had sitting around

Cable management could be better but i will wait for my perc5i to turn up.

Opinions and criticism welcome.

I can't see if you have fans or not on your radiator. If you do, then you may end up getting dust and stuff blown into and stuck in your radiator unless you have some filters for your fans. I found out the hard way.

Also, with your radiator inlet/outlet on the bottom, I hope you ran your loop without the radiator screwed into your case so you could twist it (and shake it like crazy) so that the inlet/outlet would be at the highest point of the radiator to get rid of as much air as possible.

By the way, you have a nice and clean setup

Why the massively long tube from 2nd gpu to rad? instead of just going from the bottom of the gpu straight to the rad.

+1 ^

id put a 45 on the rad and one on the gpu and a short piece of tube

looks like it might foul on the psu though...

Only way to get the 45 in there would be to mount it on the right, aint that the outlet?

I know my gpu block has an outlet.... Although using a 90 still maybe a kink...

They look like EK blocks so yeah, either port can be used as an inlet or outlet, on the front or back side of the card.

Getting a 45 on the bottom card would mean moving the top card's input to the right port and the link tube to the left, to free up the right port on the bottom card.

what he said ^

another reason EK rocks

yeah pretty much to sum it up....

It didnt clear the power supply with one of those 45 degree Bitspower comp fittings and I had no 90 degree ones. I did it as a totally temporary thing as I have ordered 90 degree fittings. I will have a 90 off the bottom of the card and a 45 from the radiator so I can have a nice small connecting pipe.

It should help with flow a bit I would a bit too.

I have also ordered a pump head for my 655 so I can use fittings on it. I will post a pic again once they are installed and the cable management is done.

they are EK blocks and you are right about everything you said there.

I may yet move the intake and middle tube, but only if needed as its a pain to do the connecting pipe.

Neat build

[pepsimax]

Recently purchased another GTX295 single PCB card so its time to start my upgrade to my system/loop and so I just did a small order from PCCG

Swiftech Epsilon GTX295 waterblock x2
Bitspower 140mm rubber fan gasket x4
Bitspower 120mm rubber fan gasket x10

this is a pic of my system awhile back with a 9800GX2




currently I have a Swiftech MCP355 pump in a XSPC drive bay res/pump but I will be taking that out and using my MCP655 with the XSPC drive bay res

so hopefully I can get a better flow rate happening

I would've of liked to have gotten Ek GTX295 waterblocks, but when I was going to buy them from PCCG for $99.00, they were all sold out.
But the Swiftech blocks still look good & they also come with heatpads pre cut, plus they also use the back plates

cant wait to get building and start folding again

[Draebor]

Got bitten by the watercooling bug again and bought some new bits and pieces from TKR and PCCG - Swiftech Apogee XT block, XSPC bay res for d5 pump, some silver rod for a biocide, some shiny blue primoflex uv tubing, pair of noctua NFP12 fans and reused my old D5 and black ice stealth 240 radiator.

The XSPC res proved a bit of a bastard to bleed properly, kept getting air stuck around the impeller but a days running seems to have corrected itself!

Also very loopy mate, can't you shorten the tubes a bit? Other than that
