    those blocks sure do look nice...


    i would cut a hole in your case for that tubing off that rad, thats a seiously tight bend that looks kinked bad hurting flow.

    same with the other tube from the res to the double rad.

    short vid, final pics will be up sometime today,


    EDIT: *sigh not too long after this video was uploaded i heard some bubbleing, so took off the side pannel and realized that the water in the nb/sb loop wasnt flowing and it was in fact boiling. good news is that i noticed before any damage was done to the motherboards nb/sb or my 8800 GTS. It would seem that the xspc res/pump's pump gave out.

    Yeah those XSPC pump/res combos tend to die a lot and not perform too well.

    Yeah like Spawn said, cut a hole for the tube to pass through properly from the rad.

    I also think you could do a better job at the loop layouts.
    For the CPU loop:
    I would make a bracket that allows you to place the D5 on the very edge of the bottom 5 1/4" drive bay, you could rotate the pump that way so the fluid from the res could flow right into it, you would use a lot less tube that way and it would look a lot neater. You could still have a "T" joint right after the pump outlet going straight down to the floor of the case to a Danger Den Fillport.

    For the GPU loop:
    This loop isn't bad at all, very neat, except the drain "T". You could connect the "T" line to one of the two bottom ports on the GPU water block and once again run the line down to the floor of the case and use a Danger Den Fill Port.

    They are my only qualms with the loops.

    if i may give you a good advice, then throw all of that tubing out, and use some cash on ordering some tygon 19 mm OD tubing and redo the whole loop. and do it all in one loop. the d5 is powerfull enough to handle both raddy´s and blocks.
    the xspc pumps are ****. keep away from them. return it, get your money back and use them on hoses
    is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

    save more money and don't get tygon. get masterkleer and get the same results though not having tried tygon i guess i can't say that. also i haven't had masterkleer long enough yet. but so far it's heaps better then clearlfex.

    it's funny how XSPC makes 2 of the top 3 after market DDC pump tops though lol.

    yeah, their pump tops rocks agreed. but thats about it xD radiators ok though for the price.

    What's wrong with ClearFlex? I use it and have no problems at all. Yeah the tubes got a little powdery but for me that just washed out and when using UV reactive coolant I couldn't tell the difference between new and old tubing.
