I've completed the mock-ups of parts for my O11 Dynamic build and it raised a question...
Whenever I've built custom loops int he past I really didn't try to minimize hose runs because I thought it was a good way to have extra coolant in the loop, like having a larger/extra reservoir.
With the build I'm doing now, my loops seem to be much "shorter" (not as much tubing as in previous builds) so the question that popped into my mind was:
"Is it better to have longer/more tubing for the extra coolant in the loop? Or, is it better to keep runs short so that water spends more time in the Radiators getting cooled than moving from point A to point B?"
