I'm sure the D frame is much easier to work with than this Tou 2.0. With mirrored tempered glass on every side, it doesn't have much room to work with. I really want to use this borosilicate glass tubing I have. I think it would look great as a finished product, but this is my first time using glass and most of the tubing runs are short and awkward. I fit 2 x 360mm Aquacomputer radiators in it, which are stainless steel. I've tried using the stainless radiators made by Heatkiller but those were even harder to work with. The Aquacomputer rads are much thicker, and I had to make some spacers raising the top panel of the case by 25mm so the top rad would fit. If I thought one 360mm radiator would be enough to cool an overclocked 7700, the VRM, and an overclocked Gigabyte Aorus 1080 Ti Extreme, then I probably would have been done with this build long ago. The 2nd 360mm rad fits on a fan mount, with 3 x 25mm fans, and is mounted in the very front of the case vertically, at a slight angle, which means no right angles in the tubing.
Would you have any idea if one 360mm rad would be enough to keep my components cool? Besides being mounted an an angle, the 2nd rad also covers half of the hard drive/fan mounts that attach to the MB tray. I wasn't planning to use all of them anyway, but I'd like to make an aluminum or acrylic hard drive enclosure and mount them directly on the MB tray. My reservoir will mount where some of these hard drive trays are, but I bought a really small reservoir since my space is already limited. If you have any suggestions about cooling everything using 1 x 360mm rad vs 2, I'd love to hear them. These rads only have G1/4 ports on one end of the radiator, so right now, I have a pile of fittings so I can try running the output from one rad to the input of another. Using a piece of glass tubing here would be impossible. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
