Just need to know if this would work. The stipulations with this loop Ill be making is it must be a triple radiator, and it must not have a reservoir, basically it needs to be a closed loop. The tee would be used to fill and to let bubbles out of the system.

Also, if there is a way to do this WITHOUT the tee fitting in (fill/bleed/not have air without using a tee) please by all means let me know, I would much rather NOT have it in there.

Looks good, so long as you're not cooling anything...Otherwise you may need a block of somesort.
 
^^^^
That's exactly what you need. Stupidly overpriced, but if you want the least complicated possible setup without serious sacrifice of performance, that's it.
 
Only way I could think of getting rid of the Tee easily is to use a rad with a bleed valve built into the rad tank. I forget who makes them but they are avaialble. Or the above suggestion if your budget can take it.

Swiftech makes a Q-res radiator with built in res and fill that would also act as a bleed allowing the elimination of the tee. No clue about price or availabilty but would allow a different pump choice as compared to the all in one rad res pump unit mentioned above.
 
that pump/res/radiator wont work, and the price is just silly.

Ill look around for that rad/res or one with a bleeder valve, as that would be ideal.
 
Dude that is an awesome setup.....don't listen to those naysayers, you don't need to add a silly waterclock, the just heat the water up anyway.
 
For filling there are two ways to go and this is very subjective to your case and components.....you need to either have a T somewhere in the line or a res.
You also have to determine the watts you need to disipate, if you want to use a high flow rad and blocks or a low flow which will then determine if you use high rpm/cfm fans or low rpm/cfm fans.....
and you need to consider cost....even entry level will cost you an easy $300 but down the road you will be able to reuse the pump/res.and radiator/s and possibly some of the blocks.
My suggestion is the to research the shit out of it before you make any hard decisions and see what your options are after you have learned about what is availible.

You could buy that dedicated combo....pump/rad/res but what happens whenyou decide to expand the system? Been there done that and trust me somewhere down the line you will want to branch out to cool other components...it is Cheaper yes....but you have limited yourself , piecing together a cooling system allows you easily expand it.

What? The block has nothing to do with the question, which is why it isn't included in the awesome drawing. The question is also not related to which block, Res, radiator, etc or expenses.

I found a Rad/Res combo that will work perfect for what I needed. I can't believe I didn't notice them before!
