2nd build, new case

Got fed up my h440, as no dedicated pump mount and some other issues, so swapped it for TT View 31 RGB. Thats a very nice case. Well planned and spacious for midi tower.

Had to return everything and I planned the loop again. Still doesn't have the perfect loop, because I need angled fittings to remove some "balloon shapes" on tubing. But that's for next time - need to order from EK, and shipping would cost more than two fittings.

And of course a noobie mistake. Planned everything -from pump to gpu, then cpu, then rads. But didn't check which is inlet and outlet on pump. So connected everything, jump started psu for leak test and noticed liquid flowing in the other direction. Wanted to dismantle and drain the system. But then realized that you guys told me that loop order won't matter. So right now it's pump - rads - cpu - gpu - pump

Looks like that there is no leak, but I'll leave it for the night to be sure and then I will finish cabling and rest of setup.

BTW I run strange fan setup in front - can't afford now 3 120mm riing fans, so, I left those two 140mm from the case and placed the 240 rad in pull configuration under them. Isn't optimal, but I'll get to change it one day.

looks good. whats that little card? fans should be fine as is.

Asus Strix Soar sound card. Even as the current gen Realtek and sound systems on motherboards are nice, I still prefer the dedicated sound card and that Asus is not that shabby. IMO it produces bit better sound for my Akg K712.

Is that pull on the front rad and push on the top? If so I would go pull exhaust on the top but the positive pressure will keep the interior dust free but no doubt filtered which worsens performance. The most intoxicating aspect of that case would be to potential to install the GPU in the vertical orientation which would look quite sweet. Phanteks fans are generally pretty good especially the MP and HP models. Which ones do you have?
