Hi peeps generally when I have water cooled it has just been the cpu, and with that just one rad(360).

This Time I am cooling the cpu and motherboard. and utilizing x2 rads
1x480 and a x1 360.

I will be putting all this in a corsair 900d.

480 rad in the top, 360 rad at the bottom le facing out of the window side. and will be using a ek res/pump combo(with a 240 res tube)

So I have never done this type of loop before.

Here is my idea

Res/pump combo out>360 Rad in>360 Rad out>Cpu in>Cpu out>Cross chill in>Cross chill out>480 Rad in>480 Rad out>Res/pump combo Out.

I was going to see if I could rout the final tube from the 480 out to the ress /pump combo via the back.

Any idea sugestions please

EDIT: crude image to see my case layout

Since you have a pump/res combo the order doesn't really matter, you should go for the route that uses the least amount of tubing.

If you had separate res and pump it would start: Res > Pump > any order > back to pump
 
Are you planning to add gpu's to this at some point? Seems an awful waste otherwise.
Just one of those rads would be more than enough for cpu/mobo.

But yeah, put them in any order you like. Whatever's prettiest or most convenient.
 
just added a crude pic of my case layout(when I do it).

And yes I realise it will be way overkill. and yes I will be adding my gpu once funds allow.

I just want as clean as possible look.
