i vote for tline fillport -> pump -> rad -> block

my reasoning is that if you have this setup

[QUOTE=tqner]tline fillport -> pump -> block -> rad

your water goes back into the pump then directly to the block and in my experience the pump can add a min ammount of heat to the water in some situations

DDC produces a small heat dump. Go with the shortest route possible.
