Radiator question

Hello, have a question regarding the Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360mm radiator.

I want to mount it in my case and I want the optimal water flow. There are 2 holes next to eachother and in one end there is a single hole. If I run from one side to the other does the water just flow through half
the radiator instead of going through the whole if you use the 2 holes next to eachother?

The one at the end is only if you want to drain it.

-> Use the two next to each other.

Radiators are essentially cut in half internally, the end tank with the fittings has an internal wall that forces the water to travel up one side of the radiator to the other end, then back down the other side to the other fitting.

I was getting ready to fill the system with 1 opening in each end, glad I asked so I would not have to redo everything once again.... :)

When bleeding the system does it require 1 port to be open on the res or can it all be closed?

I would open the highest point in the loop. That lets air escape. Only have it open when filling. Then when bleeding open the top most plug on the reservoir. Rev the pump up and down and tilt the case. The air will then bleed out the top port on the res
