Waterflow Direction?

[[em]HEAT]

I was just wondering if this is how the water is suspose to flow in a basic setup.

Anyway works with water cooling, there is no real in-out direction on a heatsink cause either way the whole thing will get cooled if you think about it.

You got the heatsink holes mixed up. Water goes through the accelerator into the center then pops out on the outside

exactly other than that you have everything else correct.

You might get a very small performance increase if you put the heat exchanger right after the pump. The pump heats the fluid ever so slightly, so with the radiator placed after it, you'll get a slightly cooler liquid to the CPU.

While the benefit may be small, it couldn't hurt - especially because you're putting it together.

The benefit isn't small....it is really nonexistant for all intents and purposes. He is using the D4 pump which consumes about 15W, at most 10W goes into the water...that works out to a 0.02C increase in water temperature for the flow rates he will be expecting (or something like that) Which will result in absolutely 0 performance gain...hell you probably cant find a thermometer sensitive enough to tell the difference even.

So basicly just change the hose fittings on the heatsink right?

Correct

 

[[em]HEAT]

Correct

Thanx.
