New to water cooling loop, need help with tube routes asap
3 replies, posted
Building my system ATM and I'm at the tubing phase, can someone tell me where my tubes go? I got a GPU and CPU block in my loop. The GPU part is throwing me off.
CPU>GPU>Rad
or
CPU>RAD>GPU>RAD
then back to reservoir and pump.
It literally doesn't matter your order so long as your res is above your pump and feeds basically directly into it, no blocks or rads between res and pump. It's basically pointless to do anything else other than aesthetic reasons. The temps in your loop only vary by about 1-2 C at any given point due to how fast the liquid is flowing in the loop. Also make sure you're feeding into only ONE side of the GPU and OUT the other. Basically most gpu blocks have 4 ports, 2 on the left, 2 on the right, they're connected. If you put your input to both the bottom right and top right, you aren't going to get any water flowing through your gpu block.
watercooling first timers always underestimate how fast the water flies through your loop, it's like a garden hose.
just make sure the reservoir can feed water to the pump with gravity alone and nothing else will matter
