Water cooling Order

[spwath]

OK im thinking about doing water cooling this summer and i just want to know, What is best for thermals. Would it be  A.(Cpu Gpu rad rad) B.(cpu rad gpu rad) Or C. 2 seperate loops?

One loop (unless you're like 3 way GPU, MB cooling and have some retardedly large case). Order does not matter.

As long as it's in the same loop it wont make a difference.

Really? Seems like if there is a rad between each component it would work better... But i have no experiance so...

The water flows through so quickly that it will be the same temperature in the entire loop (+/- a degree or so)

It's <1c difference. The water in the loop moves fast enough for the difference in the water temperature at any given point in the loop to be negligible. 

 

you'd get better performance with shorter and more clean runs than stuffing rads between things

The temperature difference in the loop only ever comes out to maybe two degrees at most between the hottest, and coolest sections.

It really doesn't matter to have seperate loops and it causes you more hassles to do the work and costs a lot of money unless you have awesomeness 24/7.

What PC specification will you be rock'in? 4670K + a 780 ?

If its for a micro-processor and a single graphics card a 360mm at most will be able to be enough for the surface area and grab a pump, coolant, tubing some compression fittings and a set of fans,.... don't forget the reservoir.

My case is a phantom 410 so most i can fit is 280mm rad. Right now i have an fx-6300 and a radeon hd 7850 but i plan on upgrading my gpu before i water cool.
