Loop configuration

[CONSOLE_BUTCHER]

I know the typical way to configure a loop is ... res - rad - cpu - rad - gpu , then if you have another rad or not you could put it into the loop or not then back into the res.

What my concern is , is that i dont have much space so would it be ok to do it like this ... res - rad - cpu - gpu - rad - res. As for the rads that i have it is 2 of these ...

If i done it the way i suggested im guessing there would be a lack of cooling performance , but it doesnt hurt to get an opinion from people.

Thanks in advance. (Y)

the loop will have a certain thermal capacity and will reach equilibrium

That makes sense, im relatively new to water cooling and custom set ups in general . Gonna have to do the test and see if its works for myself.

What makes more difference is restrictive bends, so always set your loop up in the "cleanest" way possible.

My temps are still superb.

The reason that i started thinking about a different loop order was that it would have looked like the tubing was being dragged off to one side if i had done it in a typical manner.
