System Components:
This case features one 120mm exhaust port on the back and one 120mm intake port on the front.
I am planning on using the back port for one of the radiators and I plan on drilling another port on the top of the case for the other.
My Plan:
Two independent loops, one for CPU and Chipset and one for both GPU's.
The pumps will be hung upside-down from the roof of the case (Is this okay for the pumps?). There will be a T-line up at the top between the pumps and radiators leading to a Fillport in the top of the case. Fans will be attached to the radiators using 1" shrouds and will be pulling air through the radiators and exhausting it outside. I will eventually add fans to the inner-side of the radiators once I can find another source for Globe fans. I will be using 1/2" ID tubing throughout.
Watercooling Components:
I plan on running two independent loops in the following configuration:
This will be my first attempt at watercooling. Please let me know if there are any changes I need to make as I want to make sure I do it right the first time. Also let me know if I've forgotten anything.
Thanks for the help!
