Water coolers - How is your circuit set up?

[Mrvile]

I've got mine set up as -

Resevoir -> pump -> rad -> CPU block -> back to res.

Meaning I've got a lot of hot water going through my loop, is this safe?

It's fine. Order of components usually makes very little difference in temps. My system goes:

pump > CPU > GPU > chipset > radiator > res > pump

what you have will work fine

Best way (IMHO) is res>pump>CPU>other heat sources>radiator>res. As long as you are getting the heat moved away, is all that matters though.

I use a header on the pump outlet so each block has it's own water supply, and 3 inlets on my res.

 

[racinjimy]

your setup is exactly like mine

res> pump>rad>cpu>gpu>res

the water will reach steady state after a while so order doesn't really matter exept for having the res physically above and just before the pump............................

Also you guys with the D4's does the thing seem loud to you? I mean I was expecting quieter but this thing really whines.
