Hi all, I'm planning (what I hope) will be a fairly straightforward watercooling loop to cool 1 GPU and 1 CPU with 3 main aims -
1) Lower "standard" temperatures for high end gaming graphics (not planning on any overclocking for the time being)
2)Quiet running
3)Must look tasty (building inside an NZXT switch 810 case with UV lighting)
I'm pretty happy with 90% of the general do's and don'ts but there's just one thing I'm not sure about. I've seen quite a few setups that have just one loop going RES/PUMP > GPU > CPU > RAD > RES/PUMP
But this means your delivering already warmed fluid from the GPU onto the CPU and I'm assuming that cooler fluid can take on more heat than warmer fluid ?
Would it therefore be better to have two lines (feeding into 1 RAD )
Line 1 - RES/PUMP > GPU > RAD
Line 2 - RES/PUMP > CPU > RAD
Line 3 - RAD > RES/PUMP
Any advice would be much appreciated
