I don't understand; I can only guess which way the water flows, but either make the rad before the pump or put CPU ahead of NB , or you are going to be

Looks like the game plan of the Chicago Bears at the Super Bowl lol

and do you mind explaining why? cus i was told that this setup was fine. oh and the water flows down to the cpu block, so res>pump>fuzion>nbblock>rad>res

i added some labels for those of you still in grade school

Lol the last thing it needed was more clutter. But it looks like it should work well, now just go and build it!

its a process man lol especially on a really really tight budget, im buying a few parts at a time with each paycheck.

I would put like res>pump>rad>cpu>nb>comes back to res but whatev, I could see it work out

btw mcr220 is $45 and mcp335 is $80 on newegg, not sure if that saves you cash but I just love newegg :P

Swiftech MCR-220 Radiator - Black 1/2" Barbs $40.00 JABTECH

I think you are going to have too much negative air pressure in the case. You have 4 fans sucking air out (2 rad fans, one Noctua in the front of the case and your power supply fan) and only 1 Noctua and 1 80mm pci fan blowing air in. I would flip the front Noctua around and blow into the case with it as well.

Looks like you're using hot GPU air to cool the radiator. You never cool a radiator with interior air...always exterior air.

Yes other than that he is totally fine. Don't listen to the stupid comments of "rad before cpu block" unless your rad is right next to your pump. Always choose the shortest route, it is the beauty of water. Your water will barely heat up inside your pump:P And it does not affect temps at all (well like 0.001C).

[Spawne32]

I swear im gona frigin scream, the first layout i designed had cool air from the outside blowing into the case across the radiator, and i posted that design and everyone freaked out saying WHY WOULD YOU WANT HOT AIR GOING INTO THE CASE, and i was like yeh....but dont i want cool air going across the radiator? So i redesigned it, and now everyone is saying otherwise again

I switched my fans one time just like that, inside air cooling rads, and temps automatically went 5-7C. The only reason I did it because I wanted to reduce the dust coming in. I knew temps would go up but I just didnt have a clue how much. So yea it's always best to use outside air to cool rads if you want the best temps.

ok mr quoted for truth, how does this layout look

[serialk11r]

That looks awfully strange, a fan in the back pushing air in LOL. I would reverse all the fans but thats just me, I'm picky about these kind of things and looks.

Ive already stated that i cant, the case is designed to exhaust out the front (thanks lian li) so the PSU will either vent hot air into the case if i reverse the PSU fans, or if i reversed the current exhaust fan to be an intake, it will pull in hot air from the front, and im not gona bother putting some kinda seperator in the front of the case cus it will still pull the hot air in from where its blowing out the side no matter how well i seal it off from the bottom psu exhaust fan. I have to keep this airflow design, the only thing im worried about is the PCI slot blower heating up the air behind the case and the noctua fan in the back sucking in the hotter air, but hot air does rise so im hoping because the intake fan is at the bottom it wont be that much of an issue, temps will tell the story tho wont they.

hmmm... looks strangely familiar...
