How should my loop go?

I'm using a TDX, a D4 pump, a hdpe bay res and a 120mm black ice radiator. What's the best order for these?
 
From what I've seen it goes like this for most people:

Res->Pump->Rad->CPU->Res

res->pump->whatever's easiest
lots of people will argue that some ways are better than others. However the temps wont differ enough to matter. So like the man said, whatever's easiest for you is the best solution. Just have the pump draw from the res and you'll be fine.
 
Actually, most people do this:
╔►Rad►Res►Pump►CPU► GPU ╗
╚════════════════╝

:) I'm guessing you're using different fonts than I am. On my comp, that looks like the CPU is feeding both the Rad and GPU, while the GPU drains on the floor. :D

Mine too lol...
 
Order makes little difference. Do whatever gives you the shortest runs with the least amount of bends.
 
My case is relatively small (sonata), so I think the loop will run

CPU - Res - Pump - Rad

or

CPU - Rad - Pump - Res

I just wanted to make sure that running a loop a certain way wasn't known to cause any problems.

Hmm... instead of having one loop, you could have two spearate loops.
