Silver Twin
If you're looking to create a unique PC build that is not too difficult to pull off, Silver Twin is definitely the right choice. Inside the coveted EK-Quantum InWin 977EK case, this inverted dual loop system looks and performs extraordinarily, yet recreating it doesn't require extraordinary skills.

Top (GPU) Loop
On the side outlet port of the combo unit, attach a 7mm extender and a 90° rotary adapter with an HDC 14 fitting. The tube run will go to another HDC 14 fitting and a 45° FF adapter with another HDC 14 fitting. From there, the 90° pre-bent tube will connect to the HDC 14 fitting installed on the GPU block.
Three additional plugs are used on the combo unit, including a 90° micro rotary adapter and a micro plug on the fill port. The fill port will be used to fill and drain this loop.
Two plugs are installed on the bottom ports of the GPU block.
Install a 45° rotary adapter with an HDC 14 fitting on the GPU. A straight tube will connect to another HDC 14 fitting with a 45° rotary adapter, a 7mm extender, a 28mm offset adapter, and a port adapter on the top radiator.
On the side of the radiator, the original port adapter is installed with a plug. That port will be used during the loop-draining process to let air inside.
Attach a port adapter with a 28mm offset and an HDC 14 fitting on the top radiator. This tube run will connect to another HDC 14 fitting with a 90° rotary adapter and a 7mm extender installed on the FLT 120 combo unit's inlet port.
Bottom (CPU) Loop
Attach a 7mm extender with a 28mm offset and an HDC 14 fitting on the outlet port of the FLT 120 combo unit for a tube to go into an HDC 14 fitting with a port adapter installed on the bottom radiator.
On the combo unit, three additional plugs are used, with a micro plug installed on the fill port. The fill port will be used to fill and drain this loop.
Attach a port adapter with an HDC 14 fitting to the bottom radiator for a pre-bent 90° tube to connect to an HDC 14 fitting with a 45° FF adapter and another HDC 14 fitting. This is where the second pre-bent 90° tube run begins and goes into the HDC 14 fitting installed on the CPU water block.
On the side of the radiator, the original port adapter is installed with a plug. That port will be used during the loop-draining process to let air inside.
Install an HDC 14 fitting with a 90° pre-bent tube on the CPU block, adding an HDC 14 fitting, 45° FF adapter, and one more HDC 14 fitting as a connection in the middle. This is where the straight tube run begins and goes into the HDC 14 fitting with a 90° rotary adapter and a 7mm extender installed on the FLT 120 combo unit.
