So just starting the ball rolling on getting my water set up going in my 700D.

I was thinking of this routing

Pump > vga > cpu > rad > res > Pump

Its seems there is a big thing about going from vga to cpu, however the engineer in me says to me, it wont make a blind bit of difference ( i am a design engineer in the real world) but the path from the above loop would be much simpler and less restrictive for what i have planned.

Does any one have any practical experiences of running this flow line type or better still tried both and some advice ?
 
Usual loop order would be cpu>gpu but once water temp equalises it shouldn't make a huge difference so long as you don't have a beastly gpu config.
 
sorry for a thread hijack :p but related question just tweaked a bit, would it be possible to do

pump > cpu > rad > gpu > rad > res > pump

or is too much pressure lost in the first rad to make it through?
 
OP: It is a bit hard to tell how much difference running cpu -> gpu or gpu -> cpu has. I have run both way round but the rads have changed, however running gpu -> cpu during gaming my gpu would hit ~44C but my cpu would still run ~35C.Loop order doesnt make any significant difference to temps so run the loop the easiest way.

Gammwolf: As for going the loop you said, as far as I understand it blocks are much more restrictive than rads so as long as your pump is good you should be fine.
 
I always go CPU first as in my rigs the CPU is always the hottest thing and I like it to get the fluid moving with the most pressure.
 
I'd just go for what ever order is easiest or looks neatest, and needs the least tubing. The only thing that matters is that res needs to go before the pump, just to make filling easier.
