Direction of Loop?

[babelmh13]

I've seen a lot of pictures of people running their loops from the bottom of their case, through their gpus, up through a rad or two and their cpu then back down to their pump. Im just curios.. Why fight gravity so much? isnt it far more efficient to run straight up to your top rad and let that be the only work your pump is doing then fall down through all your components?

If you have a static pressure created by the pump it wont matter. As long as that fluid is moving along there will be no difference in direction, only time you will have a problem is if the tubing run is too long and there's not enough force for the pump to keep things moving effectively.

It would be based more on convenience of routing and trying to keep airbubbles out of the pump.

I just bought an mcp665 so i think i should be alright in a corsair 800d.

It seems that in single loops involving at least 2 gpus, probably 75%+ of the pics ive seen have run up through everything. Maybe ill have to consider it. Would it be any more difficult bleeding air out that way?
