Order of components

[Noverno]

Hello! My new loop will consist of an EK pump/res combo, a 360mm rad, a 240mm rad, a gtx 1080 or 1080 ti and a ryzen 1700. I have never done a water cooling loop with anything else than a cpu and 1 rad, so I was wondering about the order of components, more specifically if you see any flaws with this:

 

Pump/res --> gpu --> 360 rad --> cpu --> 240 rad

 

Thanks in advance!

why not use 2 loops, 1 for cpu, and one for 1080(ti) since you have 2 rads

it doesnt matter in which order you have your rads and gpu and cpu, with any decent pump you will reach an equilibrium in your loop where your hottest and coldest points are basically 2°C apart at worst

Maybe no space for a second pump/res combo.

 

The general consensus is that the most important thing in a loop is to have pump directly under the res so that it never gets dry. With a combo unit you have that covered, so route your loop the best way with aesthetics in mind.

Won't matter. Go for looks or simplicity. As long as the res directly feeds the pump it will be the easiest.
