Alright, got a new camera and some new stuff so here goes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
After reading the review by Gabe on single loop vs dual loop temps I changed my mind and made it all a single loop. This seemed to make more sense for what I'm planning on using the computer for. After talking to Gabe on the phone for about 30 minutes I was able to get both of the rads installed. The new loop order is res > pump > pump > CPU > GPU > MCR320 > MCR220 > res.
Finally got everything hooked up in the system and completed the loop for proof of concept.
Did some leak testing for a few hours and nothing leaked on the first try
Picked up this guy after trying to fill the loop with a T-line the first time.
Ghetto-rigged it into my system with the stupid conversion kit for the D5.
Luckily it didn't leak.
The hose from the res to the pump was killing me, so ugly. The pump to pump connection wasn't very good either. So I turned the pumps to make it easier for the water to flow into the first one (gravity fed) and tubed them up. By the way, fitting 3/8" tubing on a 1/2" pump top is a pain.
I also put a drain port on the res after trying to drain it the first time.
I know I need to trim down the tube between the two pumps a few inches put this was the easiest/fastest way I could think to test for leaks without using anti-kink coil.
Hopefully I'll be able to get all of the fan cables finished before the weekend and have everything in the case and sealed up by Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for checking in
