I have my Monsoon D5 dual bay reservoir, in the picture below is the back view of it, as you can see it has 4 ports, the 2 on the left are inlets and the 2 on the right are outlets, I have never used a 5.25" reservoir before and am not sure of which ports to use for best water flow.

I have a 240mm radiator at the front of the case and will need to connect the radiator with the reservoir, would it be best to have it connected to the outlet or inlet?

Use the bottom intake port, I am currently using the top ports and intend to change over as having water enter at the top of the reservoir means you have to fill the reservoir up very high to avoid the sound of flowing water. The OUT port doesn't really matter. Pick whichever one is more convenient.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

I will do that.
