Need Help Please on Water Cooling Loop

[Goggle_Eye]

I am very embarrassed to do this post. Had a company build the computer and the water cooling loop and build they did is non since honestly it is a total disaster. We went and looked at the computer yesterday. With that said will have to do the build over. Please advice or make recommendations on a Rampage lV Black Edition in a CaseLabs M-8 case. Have never built a single loop always used dual loop systems.

single Loop or a dual loop?

Think the drawing is pretty self explanatory for a single loop system. Please help need to now if this loop will work or is there a better way to build a single loop or should I do a dual loop?

Looks good to me....as you know order is unimportant in the loop since it comes to equilibrium with ambient as a whole. Just neef to lan simpest route wirh least tubing and that looks to be what you've done. I would stay single loop with parallel flow on the GPUs. With 2 D5s you will still have good flow despite large block number (personally I would drop RAM blocks but that's me). And with two pumps the loop has redundancy....all good!

OK, Just needed to verify the loop. Asppreciaate the quick response glad you do not see any issues.

Could shorten up the loop by reversing the loop and go to block 7, to block 6, block 5, to block 2, to block 1, to block 3, to block 4 to rad number 3, to rad, 2 to rad 1, rad 1 to Mod top in (Res) to Mod Top Out.

If I understand what you are saying it will any difference since unimportant in the loop since.

Yeah it looks good to me as you have it. People obsess about placing RADs between the components and in complicated loops end up with loads of tubing to do it. It's not necessary...the water doesn't heat up going through a block and cool down going through a radiator...not unless there is bad flow in the loop. The water is virtually the same temp all through the loop at any given moment and the whole loop cools and heats at the same rate in relation to ambient temp if you have good flow....which you will have if you have two D5s.

Enjoy the build! 😄

Just a thought...more for the aesthetics...keeping the tubing running same angles?

I think too that that loop will be OK... you have enough radiators to deal with the heat...

Only thing you should try later on is to change the speed of the pumps... - I found that in single loops where the GPUs can cause some trouble if you run the coolant too fast... not enough time in rads to completely dump the heat...

How about service loops? I mean tubing runs that are long enough with enough slack that a CPU or RAM can be changed without breaking the water loop. That would require lifting the CPU or RAM block and keeping it out of the way while the component is changed. Short, direct runs force the loop to be opened to move a block.

Yes that is something to think about. I definitely do this on my bench because stuff is in and out....tube length and QDCs fro changing stuff out. If you don't forsee doing many changes then sure just go for aesthetics...but then make sure the rig is working for a while at stock before adding the loop. No point building watercooling on an untested rig....recipe for grief...

Thank you everyone for taking the time to help out you really made my day:)

I should do the build on a card board box and run the full system including the loop before doing the build for a test?

Thank you forgot to mention adding quick disconnects and a drain valve to the pump mod top. The lowest part of the loop will be the bottom radiator and it will have a quick disconnect on the line going to the block 1. The QDC will be on the PSU side of the case. The 2 x quick disconnects on the GPUs. Should make removing the M/Board tray out pretty simple just disconnect the QDC and cabels slide out the tray. No cable management tied to the M/Board tray. Then I could change the CPU or mother board with out a lot of effort.

Previously ran the Swiftech pumps full RPM the power was direct to the PSU. Ran the RPM wires to the CPU so I could read the pump RPM in the BIOS.

I will need to get PWM pumps and a controller for the fans and pumps.

What controller do you recommend?

Thanks for the quick scetch up like the tubing running on the same angels did not think about it great idea. Hope there is enough room for the fittings and tubing? Using Primo chill tubing and fittings to make up the connections. Planning on using 90 degree compression fittings may need to use short extensions on the fittings?

It's not necessary...the water doesn't heat up going through a block and cool down going through a radiator...not unless there is bad flow in the loop.

That was the problem with the company that did the build + 3/8 tubing and I have never seen any Bitspower Fittings like they used.
