new flow order? rad restrictive?

[malicious]

kinda a noob quesetion but i'm moving on to a tdx block and would like to know if it makes a big difference between the two options below:

pump rad block block pump - cleaner circular tubeing arrangment

however i know that blocks need pressure so would it be "that" much better to go

pump block block rad pump

side by side:
pump rad block block pump
pump block block rad pump

it's a D5 pump setting 5 - 18w heat dump
BIP 3
TDX & Maze4 w/ 7/16ths tubes & fillport

thanks fellas

i would just go with the 1st setup you have listed
i highly doubt you would see a difference with the other ones.

take the route that has the least amount of tubing in the loop possible.
order of components really doesnt matter all that much

well there's one vote for pump rad blocks pump

anybody else

The guy in the Danger Den videos where he sets up a system said to always go pump->cpu block first. It may not make a difference, but on blocks like storm and tdx that use nozzles I think it would only help if anything. Mine is setup like that and I'm not complaining.

yea i've seen that ... maybe i'll try it both ways... like everything else with watercooling i thik the diffeence would be minimal and i'd really like a cleaner install .. think i'm going to go with:

D5 BIP3 TDX MAZE4GPU D5 (fillport=no res)

it makes no difference unless your using a high-restriction block like the storm hence allways PUMP-->CPU, expecially if you have a high-head pump like the 1250 or iwaki series.

is the d5 have high head?
