Need an opinion

[Bloodchain80]

So I am not very new to watercooling but I'm stuck in a bind when it comes to loop order at times. I need an opinion about it. Should I go like the picture a strait from block to block? I see most other builds doing long bends to get where they need to go. Any opinions?

Well, since you're new to hard tubing water cooling, I won't harp on you for the horrible-looking diagonal lines. You should always try to keep your lines vertical or horizontal with 90-degree bends for aesthetic reasons. But there is nothing wrong with going from block to block like that. Sometimes people will separate their CPU and GPU on the water path because they want to overclock a lot and allowing them to share the same water supply may cause performance issues and bottle necking.

 

Unless you want to overclock your unit to obscene values, I see no reason not to go with your current config. Not to mention, separating the lines means there's nearly double the fittings, and therefore, double the chance of a leak.

It's going to be a single loop but I always heard vertical and horizontal. Might be more of a pain in terms of bends. But I mainly was talking about aesthetics. It's my second watercooling hardline loop going from Petg to acrylic. Along with a few upgrades to cpu and memory. 

So thank you for answering my question!

I believe that this looks a lot better then what I had before. Many thanks.

Enitrely up to you, I'm personally a long bend person.
