Changing Loop Order

traveyb · 28 Oct 2013 at 15:08

Hi Guys,
Currently running a XSPC 360 rad, XSPC Raystorm CPU block and XSPC Twin res. I have just ordered a new GFX card and waterblock so need to jig my loop order.
I was thinking Pump --> Rad --> CPU --> GPU --> Pump.
Would this be ok or do I need to go Pump --> CPU --> Rad --> GPU --> Pump?

Only thing that matters in the the loop is that pump needs to be lower the case than the reservoir, otherwise it makes little difference

The coolant will be circulating so quickly it will be equalised. What's more important is that your loop is clean

Ok thanks, didn't think it mattered that much. Current loop is Pump --> CPU --> Rad ---> Pump so easiest bit to change is Rad --> GPU --> Pump.

With the twin res combo you're fine with having the res higher than the pump mate. Any order is fine as, Daveip pointed out the temp of the water will equalize throughout your entire loop.

Thanks for the help people, ended up with pump, cpu, gpu, rad, pump
