Great report!
The loop order debate was one that often had me wondering "has anyone tested this properly?" And now someone has!Well done, Vapor! I think this kind of "mythbusting" is my favourite type of test report to see.

Kick Ass Vapor! People ask this question so often It was like a broken record! Now people can look at this everytime they want to know what the best order is, make it a sticky!

Excellent work Vapor, thank you
Thank you for putting in the time to do these tests.
Doh, back to the drawing board for my loop order then. Thanks Vapor for the time to test this. Very useful information. I too stand corrected.
Didn't Vapor just prove that the loop order dosen't matterOriginally Posted by Sadasius

Yes but I have my loop order to go to the CPU block first and it was not the shortest route I could have went. Things can get cleaner now. Here is a pic of my loop order. It went on the concept of giving better performance by putting more pressure to the CPU block. Obviously that was wrong as per Vapor's testing. So now back to the drawing board for my loop order to clean up tube length.
excellent read! I have considered that the differences would be small, but you have shown they are smaller than I suspected. Excellent excellent.
