I just place a (huge) order of various water cooling stuff yesterday at alphacool (ekwb didn't have all of the stuff i needed in stock) - should arrive in the next days, then i'll start tubing/building. I'm going for all soft-tube with 13/10, some corner parts will be fixed with fittings-/extensions. Also i'll be using the enterprise quick connects from alphacool for easier (dis-) assembly, removing side-panel, gpu etc. without needing to drain the loop all the time...


Flow Plan is (we'll see how that works out in real life :D):

CPU Out --> Side-Rad In (90°, long tube on bottom, with quick connect, 90°)

Side-Rad Out -> Top-Rad In (pretty straight up, 90°, short tube (or quick connect, depends on the space), 2 x 90°)

Top-Rad Out -> GPU-In (2x 90°, 20mm extension, 90°, short tube, quick-connect OR 90°, short tube, quick-connect if i'm using bottom outlet)

GPU Out -> CPU In (quick-connect, 2x 90°, long tube, 90°)


What will be (very) interresting is filling the loop. Maybe i'll do this with the case laying on the side and using the fill port which is then on "top" of the waterblock... :-)


Also placed an Order at cablemod, mostly for a shorter 12VHPWR cable (190mm) and a shorter 24-pin cable (200mm), also a very short single-plug sata power cable (100mm) for the pump.


[USER=14492]@blackreplica[/USER] i'm using 25mm fans (Noctua NF-A14 PWM Chromax) and the AlphaCool NexXxos HPE-30 at the top and 45 at the side.


[USER=14781]@Antioch[/USER] yes i'm using the all-in-one combo block from EKWB - with the direct-die adapter for the intel cpus. the block is pretty much in-line with the back of the psu - i think its about 15mm distance to the radiator - but i'll measure it at the weekend.
