Pump power questions? And loop order.

[ThatOneRussian]

So im buying my parts real soon and Im not sure if I need another pump the total length of the tubing will be around 5 metres including the blocks etc.

 

So in the diagram the loop starts at the left reservoir(red) goes into the next reservoir goes into the pump (https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xtop-ddc-3-2-pwm-elite-acetal-incl-pump)(yellow) goes into the rad(blue) next gpu block (blank) another rad (blue) cpu block (blank and the rad (blue) goes back again into the left reservoir and starts again. Do I need another pump and where should I put it keep in mind the loop is horizontal so its hard making the pump be under the reservoirs. Also when I fill it should I just raise the reservoirs somehow?

loop order dosent matter as long as Your reservoir sits above Your pump and they are conected, after that it dosent matter at all.

i would run dual pumps on that loop, since you have many Blocks its going to be pretty restrictive. (use this for Your pumps: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xtop-revo-dual-d5-pwm-serial-incl-pump )

As recommended a series or even single D5 can handle the loop they are fairly powerful pumps, for fill or the setup you could create angled mounts or tilt the reservoir so it directs the fluid down to the pumps if desired but having them mounted horizontal isn't a problem also.

1 pump should be able to handle that.  You don't need crazy high flow rates for watercooling to work at full effect.
