Waterloop order?

[WhereHere1]

bit of a noob question, but my loop goes pump/cpu/rad/res. I am adding a gpu into the loop, so would I go pump/cpu/gpu/rad/res?

Loop order is unimportant apart from the pump has to come after the res. So res>pump then whatever you like.

Doesn't matter so long as your res is before pump, can go with ever way looks the best or easier to tube for you.

No, it doesn't make a different on the order you install the components as the loop will equalize over time. What is import is ensuring you have the correct amount of cooling for your solution.

There might be a 1 or 2 degrees difference but nothing that's worth thinking about it.
Some people think that the water entering rad is much warmer the water exiting the rad. It's not.

I've tested it by having 4 temp sensors at various points in my loop including before and after a rad and the difference is around 1 degree so as stated above by several people loop order makes little difference, just do whatever is shortest or looks neatest.

Oh thanks

It would have looked messy if I went to my cpu then gpu haha

But now I will go gpu then cpu
