there will be another mosfet block and vga installed also...
Im having a problem trying to figure out the best way to run the tubing...
can any of you guys take a shot at it?
the arrows represent where the water will be coming in and leaving at the bottom of my TJ07...

I have the same board and blocks actually except for the CPU block. Just look in my album to see how I have mine routed.
hmm...i was thinking maybe gfx card > vertical mosfet (nearer to rear IO ports) > horizontal mosfet (top of the mobo) > cpu > northbridge > southbridge
you have quite a few blocks there. wad pump are you running? and the EK supreme is a renowned restrictive block...

Off the top of my head I'd do this for short tube runs:

that looks awesome but i really dont want any 90s as my loop will already be pretty restrictive.
i think ive figured it out...
on paper at least :p:

thats alot of cooling your doing, id suggest two loops.......if you cant do two then atleast route the tubing to the CPU first.....the way you just posted (going to the GPU first) wont be that good as it will pick up alot of heat from the GPU

I guess it all comes down to what you want from doing this - silence or low temps? With so many blocks in a single loop you will get silence but not lower temps .............
I have been there and tried to do CPU/NB/GPU then CPU/GPU and now I am back to CPU/NB with air coolers on GPU's - I want lower temps for 24/7 folding and don't mind some noise from fans.
Good luck and post up some pics when you can :)

Good luck trying to bleed that loop the way you are planning on having it routed. You are going to have air get trapped in your blocks. The way slpdLoad suggested makes a whole lot more sense and would just take a small T-line at the top of the loop from the mosfet block to bleed well.
A few copper elbows or Bitspower elbows aren't going to make a difference, and if they are needed for a better loop path, then why go with a convoluted loop order just to avoid a few elbows? If you are that worried about it, go with two pumps and two loops.
