Adding GPU block...how should I do this????

Could you remount your pump towards the front of the case. Move the sound card, assuming that's what that is, down and then there would be enough room, I think.
 
CPU to vid card to Chipset. Vid card to chipset will take one tight assed bend, Or a long hose routed around, or an elbow. Clearflex cant do the kind of bend you need to do a short direct line. I know tygon is supposedly able to do tighter bends but even then I dont know about that tight. If you can do it with a 45 degree elbow that may be the best way to go.
 
but would that in any way restrict the flow if I use elbow, I was thinking of skipping the chipset or maybe not.
 
A good elbow will be less restrictive than a tight bend that disfigures the tubing. And by the time you get to it, you'll probably have lost all the flow you're going to lose in the CPU and NB blocks.
 
Putting a GPU water cooling block on a 9200se is like putting 1000$ rims on a 1983 Datsun.
 
just waiting for some $$$$ to upgrade it to 9800PRO, prolly after Xmas, but for now Id settle for 9200SE :D :D

That's not a good analogy, $1000 rims are stupid on any car.
 
If you want to keep all three blocks I would go to the gpu to the cpu then to the chipset, or reverse it. The order of the blocks mean very little, no reason to have to go to the CPU 1st. The water in the loop (depending on flow rate) only changes .5°c or less from warmest (rad inlet) to coolest (rad outlet). At 1gpm you might get .5°c difference at 2gpm will be half that or less.

Yeah that's a good point, going to the blocks out of the current order could reduce some bend radii.

Thats the answer I would wanna hear, thinking that the loop should be cpu-chipset-gpu, never though I can change the order of my loop. THANKS :)

totally agree :p


anyway joel... in that pic it looks like you have 1 small rad. if you're going to be running 3 blocks, you'll want to run a 2nd loop, a larger radiator or a 2nd radiator. especially if you want to oc your vid card.
