Computer Setup

I would bookmark if this started with a clear full view of your gaming setup rather than a few build shots, a closeup of the keyboard mouse, 1 pic of part of the gaming setup, and more equipment pics.

What is the order of your loop and why did you decide to do it like that?

It goes Reservoir > Chipset > GPUs > 280 Radiator > CPU > 420 Radiator > Reservoir.

Ah ok. I was just checking since I know a ton of people are not aware that loop order does not matter and as a result go through all of their rads first or put a rad between each component. Have you looked into possibly running the tubing behind the mobo tray to clean it up? I know people did that with the 800d and could fit 1/2in id 3/4in od tubing behind there.

I had considered doing that...actually had it that way for a while before I added the CPU and chipset coolers. Problem was I was running out of space since I have two SSDs back there plus wiring for a lot of fans.

Yeah I am sure you can figure it out. I have a really small m-atx case with next to no space behind the mobo tray and something I found helpful for reducing cable clutter was figuring out what I was going to have and then buying adapter style cables to run almost all of my peripherals off of one molex connector cable for my psu. I am home for the holidays so I cant look or take a picture but I have four drives being powered by one molex and all of my fan connected to one hub powered by molex instead of using a million molex to 3 pin adapters. Granted I don't have a loop anymore but I do know how much space that takes.

Are you planning to re-cut your tubing? It might just be how I am, but it looks extremely roughed in - kind of like a "hold up, measure roughly, cut" - but it's still quite nice!

Actually, I had not. It was cut to the lengths each section was so as not to put a ton of stress on the rotary, as well as to avoid kinking.

I wanted to see this de-bezeled screen and wouldn't you know not one damn picture.

Asking this because I know there is somebody counting, How many freaking gaming setups are now named "Thor"?
