I have a waterchill kit that includes cpu, northbridge and vid card. The cpu water block is the new antarctica one with 3 holes, so which way do I put the pipes?

A) have the centre one coming from the vid card and northbridge then the two holes on either side going on to the radiator.

or

B) have the two outside ones going to the radiator and the centre one coming from the res via vid card and northbridge.

Any help appreciated.
 
I really don't understant what you are saying about the tubing routes, but I will try and help you nevertheless...

The center hole on the CPU block is the inlet. The outside two holes on either side are the outlets. I assume your kit came with some sort of Y splitter/joiner? If not you need one. In your kit, after going into the CPU block, the two outlets need to be joined together again using the Y fitting as soon as possible, and before going to anywhere else in your system.


Starting with the pump outlet, you should go one of two main routes:

Pump -> Center hole on CPU -> 2 outlet holes into Y -> NB -> Video -> radiator -> reservoir -> Pump

OR

Pump -> radiator -> Center hole on CPU -> 2 outlet holes into Y -> NB -> video -> reservoir -> Pump.


Do whichever of these works best for your layout in your case (mainly where your pump and radiator are located).

Hope this helps.
