Over at Techgage is an interesting post about installing dual watercooling loops, GPU and CPU, in to a Fractal Design R5. It is more of a work log than a how to but it covers all the basic investigation you should do before installing a watercooling loop as well as the steps involved in putting it together. That they managed to fit a pair of 240mm Nemesis radiators into a mid-sized case is impressive, the overall tidiness of the build even more so. Check out the build log with pictures right here.
"After we posted our look at Fractal Design’s Define R5 a couple of months ago, it didn’t take long before Matt was craving not just a chassis upgrade, but a water cooling one, as well. With the chassis in hand, join him as he takes you through the process of setting up a dual loop setup, and tells you what he thinks of working with the Define R5."

I never worked with closed loop water cooling or water cooling in general.
I received a mini ITX board, this will be my first personal build and the idea is to use CLW for the CPU and maybe for the GPU.
I’ll keep that pain in mind when I start to build it 😛
