Hi there,

Have just done my first custom water cooling loop and got everything working (nearly melted graphics card but we'll gloss over that!).

I have seen from searches on here and YouTube videos that flow order doesn't really matter. However I have a feeling I could have done it better!

It's all EKWB components so from the output of the combo pump/reservoir, it goes to the radiator, then CPU, then GPU then back to reservoir.

Is that OK or should I have done pump to CPU, GPU then radiator?

Cheers

That's what I was hoping. Already had to drain out once to reroute graphics card hoses.

For Flight Sim the GPU was at 50 degrees (RTX2080Ti), which is about 15 lower than it was before. Yet when I played an older game (Sniper Elite 4), the hoses and coolant were getting quite warm.

Forgot to check GPU temp at the time.

Am currently thinking I might leave it for now and see how it goes, but when I next change the coolant, I might change it to Pump > GPU > CPU > Radiator > Pump
