Okay his the conundrum, I already decided the water cooling system I'm getting, then i thought of this idea, was just wondering if it would work.

It would be the 250mm T-virus res, with the XSPC Rasa 750 RS360 Universal CPU / Triple Radiator Water Cooling Kit.

Would it work if i use the fill port on the T-virus res? It would have to be filled to the rim right?

And would the pump be strong enough to work efficiently?

And two more questions, could i reverse the direction of the flow and still be okay? Just the cpu would get the heat from the gpu's. Also would the pump be strong enough to work efficiently if i reverse the direction?

Why would you want two res? If your starter kit has a res already, just use it.

purely for the look of the t-virus res, if i can't do i wont do it.

I would advise against having a second radiator unless you're cooling GPUs with heat output similar to 470s or above. The 800D lacks intake as soon as you cover up the top with a 360 rad. You're already only left with the back and the bottom fans for intake. I think anyone wanting to do a big loop in a case should consider this: http://www.overclock.net/case-labs/9...-shipping.html

The 120 rad was only going to be a slim rad there with a pull config, that wouldnt block to much of the intake would it?
And i'm going to use the EVGA GTX 580 hydro copper 2

It'll work. I have 2 reservoirs in my loop as well as 5 radiators. Loops can get as complex as you want them to. The more radiators you have the better your rig will perform since it has more heat dissipation ability. Don't let anyone tell you differently. That pump/res combo can handle it, just ask wermad. He ran that res/pump combo with a rx 360 and rx 240 rad as well as a tri sli 470 setup.That setup will only work if the helix res is completely full.

Why not put a pump in the bottom HDD rack? Are you using it (the hdd bays, that is) Cos then you could get a dedicated pump, and only use the t-virus res instead of using a pump-res combo plus another res. It would simplify everything. just a thought...

^Yep. Rads these days are very unrestrictive, so flow away.

Here's my current configuration. I have my RAD setup to drain into the fill port, from there it empties into the pump. No problems here.

EDIT: I don't have a NB block. It's only the CPU and GPU at the moment.

you cant cool anything with yellow bird feet

 

[UrbanDropbear]

Thanks for the advise everyone
I ordered the stuff, im in aus so idk when it will come in

If you just want the res why not just put the t-res in there but not connect any hosing to it if thats what you really want to do.

 

[UrbanDropbear]

Well i did it all, works great just couldnt put the secound rad where i wanted it
