This is my planned loop. After several starts, I will build it when I have sorted all the bits. Does this look OK for a CPU only loop with 2 x 120 rads in a v1000 case? The case has the mobo upside down so it all sits below the gfx card in the bottom half of the case. Except the res and pump which are alongside it.

Please give your views

 
I thought the loop started at the pump? pulling fluid from the res and sending into the cpu block. Then the flow goes rad> rad > res

So full loop is Pump > cpu > front rad > rear rad > res.

Res is highest point so pump is always primed, the flow into the res is though an inner tube and the pump pulls from the base of the res.

Am I right or wrong?
 
Thanks Jon for the useful info and considered opinion. Also to Andy.

As an engineer having dealt in the past with slightly larger (150mm bore) sludge pumping setups, I had one or two preconceived ideas, The effects of turbulent flow on the cpu block had not occurred to me though. I will have to look out a reference on Newtonian fluids etc. :)
