PLZ sumone answer... Im gunna get a res/pump combo, does the tube have to go directly from the res/pump to the rad? When i think about it logically, the water has to be cooled before it goes to the components that you want cooled... right or not :S ??
 
pump header tank or main res if you only have one > pump > hottest component > next hottest > so on > buffer tank main res> rad > back to header tank thats how i have mine tbh
 
well I'd always go for the tidiest loop, which usually means going from res>pump>rad etc, but any loop differences in terms of layout will only separated within a couple of degrees
 
Loop order basically makes no difference at all except res before the pump to ensure it never runs dry, as mentioned by others the shortest or tidyest route is the best option.
 
Again Thanks Soo Much Guys :D.... Oh Yeah Ummmm Yeah!!

Will two 240 rads be enough to water cool a i5 2500k and a Gainward GTX 570 Phantom??

One of them will be using push and pull...

lol the res will always be before the pump in a loop depending on where you start in the loop. the main thing is the pumps has positive head pressure being a centrifugal pump they need prime as opposed to self priming pumps i have a small header tank to give the pump always a positive head then the main water later in the loop and i would always prefer to cool the hottest component first with the coolest water rather than leave the hottest component untill last in the loop but i guess each to there own
