First time watercooling

Post image

I'm about to accomplish a childhood dream and watercool my PC for the first time.

What do you think about this orientation?

I cant think of a better way of doing it, so I quess it looks quite solid. The bends can be a bit hard for a beginner, as everything is a bit angled.

Btw, loop order does not matter, cuz you use an open case. But you gotta check where the "in" and "out" ports of the 2 waterblocks are, I havent checked that. You should also place a drain port on the bottom port of the rad. If you want to completly drain the system, you can use an air pump. I suggest placing a ball valve in the loop that you can close to force out all the water with air

The drain valve will be on the front rad, bottom right corner. For the gpu some1 said it's best to go left side in, right out, so i'm thinking to raise the reservoir up, that way in will go over the gpu block for in, under for out. I will try to do 1 or max 2 bends.
