Posted May 31, 2015 Loop should go in this order 1. res 2. pump 3. cpu 4. radiator Is pump and res a combo or standalone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 31, 2015 In water cooling, the only hard rule for the loop is that the res should always feed directly into the pump so that there's no chance of the pump running dry. Other than that, you can connect the other loop components in any order because you won't achieve "cooler temps" by putting the rad(s) at a certain point in the loop. Once the rig heats up the loop willl reach an equallibrium and the temps will depend on how much/well your rad(s) can get rid of heat and what the ambient temp of the room is. As for the tubing, run it between parts in whatever way works/looks the best for you, only making sure that the res feeds directly into the pump. If you have a res/pump combo then you won't have to worry about that. If you are wanting to put a valve in the loop to make draining it easy, then I would suggest putting it at the lower point possible. If you are wanting a valve for filling it, I would suggest the highest point possible so that air can easily get out.

Posted May 31, 2015 You can split the pump outlets and have one just a tube and a valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
