Hi folks. Hope someone can shed some light in this. I'm setting up my first loop using an EK H3O kit. I've got all the bits in the case and now I'm totally confused as to how to run the tubes, even though I'm using the instructions...

This is how I have it at the moment: pump to rad; rad to right port of CPU block; left port of CPU block to res; res to pump.

Can someone tell me if this is right or not. I've pretty much gone by the diagram in the kit's instruction booklet but on the instructions of the actual block it states that the left port of the block is the Inlet and right is the Outlet, which is in contrary to the kit instructions...

Sorry if this I'm being blatantly stupid but my head is mush today!

Cheers,
Ross

If the block states it has a required input and output then follow that.

All you need to do with tubing keep it looking tidy with the simplest possible order. The only exception is the res must be before the pump and should feed fluid to it.
 
normally you will go pump outlet to cpu, then cpu to rad , rad to pump on a basic sytem if you add in a res you would go rad to res to pump
 
Cheers guys. I've re-done the tubing and pump to block; block to rad; rad to res; res to pump works great and looks really tidy, just need to get a couple of right angle barbs now!
