Quick question about loop order....

[Joni Nitro]

I have done some water cooled rigs before but I have always run my loops res>pump>cpu>rad>res. In my current situation it would be easier for me and make my loop a lot shorter if I could run pump>res>cpu>nb>rads>pump. Or I could run pump>cpu>nb>res>rad>pump. Just to clarify I am not using two pumps, I am just coming full circle back to the only pump, which is a 655.

Also, I am using stacked MCR320's and I am wondering if it would be better to run them in series. This would force liquid through the entire system or just in parrallel. One is the new stacker series and one is standard MCR320. I currently plan to use 3 Scythe Kraze 1900mm fans controlled by a Sunbeam rheobus controller.

Any thoughts or ideas will help.

Series will always result in lower temps than stacked. Think about it.

Loop order isn't critical as long as flow isn't really low. The most important part is making sure your pump is never run without water, which is why most people put the reservoir just before the pump in the loop.

Don't worry at all about loop order when dealing with <1000w of heat.
