    tips for you cdnbum:

    -you used about twice as much tubing as needed,

    -your loop is pumping in the wrong direction, the res needs to be before the pump, not after it. TBH I have no idea how you got that loop to fill in the first place

    I know the tubing is a little much, but when I add the XPSC GPU block I will cut some for tighter lines.

    So I need to swap what lines to get the right setup?

    Thanks for your help.

    About the temperatures..
    (in a quick look i saw that)
    You lost 2 120mm fans.. it's obvious that the temps rise on non-watercooled components.

    The fan on your CPU cooler pulled hot air away from your GPU where the Rear-case fan blew it out the case.
    Now you miss both fans and if you have the Radiator fans on Push.. they blow in the hot air thru the radiator, back in the case

    Reservoir -> Pump -> CPU -> GPU -> Radiator
    Is what i got..

    I know have two Noctua's as exhaust on the top when before I had one and I think I had them as intake.
    I added another Noctua that was on the HS and put that on the bottom as a intake.
    Maybe I should try reversing those flows??

    Again not to concerned, since I will get the XPSC Razor next month.

    What will the difference be in temps if the flow is easily fixed to what you are recommending?

    I like a 15 degree drop from where I was at
