kit as below;

Swiftech H20-220 Apex "Ultra" Watercooling Kit
A8N-SLI Delux
7800gtx at 510/1.37
3700sd at 2.65

Two orders are recommended by swiftech
A
Pump-Chipset-VGA-Rad-CPU-Res-Pump

B
Pump-CPU-Chipset-VGA-Rad-Res-Pump

The Res has a 120mm blowing over it by the way.

Any advice?
 
B would be the neatest in my case but thinking about it is the chipset cooling realy required, the chipset fan on this mobo doesnt make any noise but i spose for an extra £18 i might as well do all the components.

no, its not really needed, just adds restriction to the loop, and more heat also.

Its on a dual rad loop and that pump is very powerfull (only currently run it at 40%) added to the 7/16 tubbing and i dont hink flow restrition or heat transfer is a problem. Then again ive had WCing for about a week so im an absolute expert :D

Personaly i would go pump>rad>cpu>>vga>chipset>res>pump.

That way the CPU is getting the coldest water. but any way won't effect flow rate, your water in your loop can only flow as quickly as the most restrictive item will allow it to.

In my case, that would be the most messy cos the Rad is mount externally and high with the Res also up high and pump down low.

It'll work, just not as well as it could do.

Well i'l order the bits tomorrow (i'd do it tonight but ive been on the wine so god knows what will turn up if i did) and then once they turn up i'l look at the best way to do it taking all the advice in.
Im not doubting any advice but the two examples given were those in the manual but were different from the advice given here.
Well i'l post again on the subject next week once the hardware is in.
Cheers to all
