My first watercooling setup, is there anything wrong with it?

Swiftech Apogee GTZ CPU Waterblock
Koolance VID-NX295 GPU Waterblock
Danger Den/Laing DDC-12V 18 Watt Version 3.2 Pump with DDC Acrylic Pump Top
Koolance EHX-1320BK 4x120mm Radiator

The pump is mounted on top of the bottom hard drive cage and goes into the radiator first then the CPU, then GPU, then back into the pump. Is there a better way?






I am going to take more pics tonight, let me know if any particular shots would help.
 
When I do loops, I normally go rez, pump cpu, gpu, rad then back into the rez. As long as the rez is in front of the pump the rest really makes no difference, more about hot you want the lines to run and what would mean the least amount of hoses taking up space in the case.
 
Your tubes are a bit on the long side and your pump would perform better using the top inlet with the loop rather than the t-line.

So have the t-line coming off of the current inlet? What would that change besides making the air harder to get out?
 
Well you'd be better off with a real t-line and blocking off that second inlet but if your temps are fine you don't need to worry about it until you tear the loop down for something else.

But having the inlet on the top would increase the pump's performance?
 
It does on every other top I've seen, but once you get past a threshold of enough flow adding more flow has very little effect so like I said above, it isn't really worth draining just to swap tubes unless you're having problems with extremely low flow (it's likely that your temps won't change much, if at all)
