Any reason you want to go RBX vs TDX? IMO the added restriction isn't worth it for the slight performace gain over the TDX. You're going to need a relay like a criticool powerplant for that card, or you can wire you're own up if you'd like. As for order, it doesn't matter at all.
 
You don't need to deal with two outlets when you get an RBX. Personally in my setup (see my thread), the TDX is better, but if your tubing gets complicated with a TDX, you're better off with an RBX.

I think you've got that backwards... The TDX has 2 holes (1 inlet and 1 outlet) and the RBX has 3 (1 inlet and 2 outlets).
 
LOL. At most of the forums I go to, there are tons of threads in the WC section just like this one "About to buy WC, what to get", "Is my setup ok"... and it's always a roster of dangerden parts. Of course your setup is ok for the same reason the other 90 million other people who make threads like this have ok setups, Danger Den is a good company! ;) Let us know how it works out for you.

Tnx, for your replies. But my main questions have not been answered yet.

If you are referring to what should be in the first loop after the radiator....it doesn't matter at all. You want to order the loop so that you use the cleanest and shortest amount of tubing. Eliminating tight bends and unnecessary lengths of tubing. It is not necessary to run the loop so that it goes to the radiator before the CPU or GPU or whatnot. The order will not matter at all. Contrary to popular belief the water really doesn't heat up very much as a result of the cpu or gpu or pump. So...order the loop in whichever fashion uses the least amount of tubing w/o having really tight bends or elbows.

I have a RBX and I still mixed the two up. :eek:
