What I've noticed with my loop is pump speed makes no difference whatsoever unless it's just trickling and loop order makes no difference. Eventually as the coolant travels so fast round the loop it will equalise no matter what the order. Larger reservoirs don't affect overall temp either it just takes longer to reach it's equalised state due to more coolant. Fan orientation pull or push didn't make any difference to temps either.
Fan speed does make a difference tho. With regards to ambient temperature it works out that if you raise the ambient by 5 deg c the cpu will run 5 deg c hotter. I'm sure it's because of some physics law or something.
Some other tips I've got for summer use is remove all the foam dust filters they restrict airflow no end, I'm also running mine with the side panel removed so the air can escape and not build up, I've also brought the tower out from under the desk so not in an enclosed space. All easy quick fixes to help temps. You could even point a normal desk fan at the open case if you don't mind noise.
