I have my rigg just about done and am I more or less pleased with how it turned out apart from one section/length of tubing labeled A in the pic. I was wondering if anyone had any options/suggestions on how I could make it look neater then it is.

Btw the tubing is red....the flash on my cam made it look orange

Pump > 240 > cpu > 120 > gpu > pump

Would give smaller length of tubing between the 2 sections of the case.

Can you mount the 120 mm on the bottom of your case? That way you would just have a tube going straight down from the 240, and from there to the bottom right port on your gpu

^ this one.. your cooling with the 120 what the 240 already has done..
the 120 can take the sting out of the coolant before the GPU torches it up again..
loop order isnt really super critical. just that the res is before the pump and all
is well. another is to keep short runs in tubing for tight and clean look. you'll
wanna avoid alot of tube crossing, makes it a mess to look at; like spagetti thrown
dopwn.. make it neat..
but so far, you are getting there

Sorry to be super critical but the rads are are a 280 and 140.....not that it makes any difference is loop order. Right now I have it configured to run Pump > CPU > GPU > 140 > 280 > Pump


Anyway I thought of routing Pump > 280 > CPU > 140 > GPU > Pump but I could not get the tubing to make the tight bends necessary to go from the 140 to the GPU.....its super tight have a look at the pictures below. If anyone has any thoughts on how I can get the tubing to make that tight radius bend(s) necessary I would appreciate it.
