Hello, I'm about to order my new pc and I'll be doing my first loop, and I just have two questions that hopefully someone can answer.
Just a quick note, all parts in the loop will be thermaltake, except for the rads (getting thinner ek rads).
I want to have a drain point at the bottom of the loop, but the lowest point in the loop is the pump itself, i was thinking of doing it like this:
Pump > F-F Extender > 4 Way Valve > Drain. With a plug on the bottom hole of the valve and an RGB fitting in the top hole of the valve going into the tubing.
So.... Would this configuration cause some sort of backward pressure or slow the flow of the loop in any way?
And secondly, I obviously need a fill point.. I'm using a pump/res combo, and my pump and res will be at the lowest point of the loop....
So, will having the fill point at the top of the res be a problem since the res is at the bottom of the loop?
By problem I mean will the res just overflow out of the fill point when I turn the pump off as I'm filling the loop?
Both are probably incredibly stupid questions, but any explanation on how this would work and/or effect the loop would be insanely appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
