I plan to adjust my setup to combine my 2 independent loops together.

The order will go from:
pump1->rad1->QD->cpu->QD->res1
pump2->rad2->QD->gpu->QD->res2

To:
A) pump1->rad1->QD->cpu->QD->gpu->QD->res2->pump2->rad2->QD->res1
or
B) pump1->rad1->QD->cpu->QD->res2->pump2->rad2->QD->gpu->QD->res1

Note that rad1 and rad2 are placed in the following config:
fan->rad1->fan->rad2->fan

Option B would be easier for me to implement b/c I simply swap the return qds that hit each res so that the cpu hits res2 instead of res1 and the gpu hits res1 instead of res 2.

However, I am not sure how this would impact temps verses option A.

Res before pump. No other worries. Make sure you know about bumping the pump, do NOT let the pump go dry.

Dunno if you been gifted with this yet:

If a series loop just use the ONE pump before the res to do all the bumping, bleeding, filling. Don't power up the second pump till that is all done. Don't let a pump run dry, even 10 seconds........
