Custom loop question.

Water should be flowing un-obstructed to the pump. A rad adds restriction to the pump's inlet.

Hello everyone.

So this might be stupid question, but can there be radiator between RES and pump.

Linus always says that pump must be after RES, but does it matter if there is just one RAD between?

I have no space to put pump in the bottom of NZXT panthom 820, because i have 280mm RAD there.

So i decided to put my pump on top of my PSU and then eveything would fit,but does that RAD matter in between of pump and RES?

Error 709: Walrus on the road!

It's probably much better to have the res feeding right into the pump, with nothing in between 

Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

Still i wont think that it would matter that much.
