Watercooling Arrangement?

[thuganomics]

Hey everyone, i got a older computer and a useless watercooling kit, i want to put the watercooling to good use on the old computer.

But i dont know whats the best arrangement, like.. for example...:
Is it better to have it like CPU heatsink -> GPU heatsink -> radiator -> tank -> blahblah...

Does it make any difference?

Thanks, phase cooling was alot easier xD

WOW, a phaser going to water? lol

U should skip water and head straight to TEC since u have knowledge on how to insulate. Thats the only thing holding me back. Diele greesing everything.

Anyhow, best loop order usually:

Pump -> radiator -> CPU -> GPU -> Resivour

u can swap cpu and gpu if you like, depending on the block. If its a low flow restriction block, it would be fine after GPU. If its a accelerator type, your gonna need to put it b4 the GPU.

Pump always b4 radiator, and cpu always after because the pump will release a small amount of heat in the system. Although its really small, but why not tweek every last part to perfection? And having 1 loop order moved up doesnt really complicate anything.


Hope this helps.
