    Advice on parallel loop design

    Because in the end I was a little too worried about bad performance. I guess now it is not a big deal. However the discussion here made me consider a normal non x-flow rad and that improved the layout! So it was already worth. Thank you guys.

    Advice on parallel loop design

    Thank you guys for the replys. It might be worth to mention that this is going to be a scratch build and that the components will be mounted vertically on a black or smoked acrylic pannel.

    Fractal Design - ARC Mini - The perfect water-cooling mATX case!

    Hi ZoNe, Yeah I've been on Martin's site in the beginning of this project but forgot about it. I also visited skinneelabs.com quite often. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with a D5-Vario with an EK X-Top and an EK X-Rex 150 basic. The XSPC Acrylic tank sucks too much air bubbles imho. I'm...

    Fractal Design - ARC Mini - The perfect water-cooling mATX case!
