Watercooling (have I done it wrong?)

Garyj881 · 18 Aug 2009 at 23:20

I have done my first water cooling build and I think I have got my loop in the wrong order.

It goes...

Res --> Cpu block --> Rad --> back to res.

Looking around the forums a lot of people have it

Rad --> Cpu block --> Res.

Does it really matter?

Doesn't matter. The temperature will eventually reach a point where the loop order makes very little difference. Just do whatever is most convenient.

Super, thats exactly what I've done.

As long as the pump is after the reservoir you're good to go

Its a combined pump/res, this ONE

I'll take some pics tomorrow for you, natural daylight pics are allways better

Still got some work to do yet mind.

need to cut a hole in the roof for the rad and fit a grill. Apart from that I'm very pleased..

Good call on the pump, it's exactly the one I'd have recommended

Well i bought it second hand from the members market, well I got the full loop from there
