Will this WC setup work?

Hi, I was wondering which loop would I benefit the most. The case is Silverstone TJ09.
Specs:
Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz - 1.41 v
2x2GB Geil Evo one
HD4850 (will be buying one more for xfire)
1 Water pump - Swiftech 655
Tubing 7/16
CPU block Fuzion V2
GPU 1xGFX2
GPU 1xSwiftech MCP
EK Multioption Res
Swiftech 120.2
Swiftech 120.1

The first option seems to be suitable, but would I gain any gain in temp?

Res->Pump->120.2->CPU->120.1->GPU(GFX2)->GPU(Swiftech)->Res
(I'm thinking in terms of cooling off the water before reaching the GPU)

or

Res->Pump->120.1->120.2->CPU->GPU(GFX2)->GPU(Swiftech)->Res
(easy to setup without messy tubing)

Please advise.

Thanks!
 
Loop order doesn't really matter. Water will absorb a huge amount of heat before it starts to heat up. If your loop holds 300ml of water, and it takes 4.2 joules of energy to raise 1g of water 1c, it would take well over 1200 watts of heat to raise the temperature of the water a single degree Celsius... Now, this is all theoretical, but it's good proof against loop order doing anything for you.

It might make more sense if you were running a TriSLI rig or something, to cool the water before it hits the CPU, but for all intents and purposes, the difference is within an acceptable margin of error.

Just do what uses the least amount of tubing, or is the cleanest.
