Chipset block in which loop, cpu or gpu?

[mbreslin]

Finally ready to build my 2 24/7 loops, no more rebuilding except for yearly maintenance!

Have done a ton of rebuilds and got burned out for awhile. This weekend is the weekend!

pumps: mcp350, mcp355

rads: 2xpa120.3, pa120.4

blocks: ek 5970, ek 5870, ek giga ud7 block, ek supreme hf

What I've been planning for awhile but now having second thoughts:
Loop 1: mcp350->cpu->120.4
Loop 2: mcp355->gpu->gpu->mb->120.3->120.3

Tubing isn't too bad looking with this setup and I'm pretty sure the 355 can push enough flow through 3 blocks and 2 rads.

What I'm considering now is putting the mb block on the cpu loop, this would make a pretty good looking tubing config look quite a bit better and basically perfect to my tastes imo.

Suggestions please?

Either way will work. You've got more than enough rad for either config. The MCP 350 is plenty of pump. Go with what works best for tube routing. (I like the first option you posted - I mean, if 2 triples can't handle that, plus a quad on your CPU - you need to co phase or chilling ). You should be able to run your fans at a nice quiet RPM with either config.

Either loop will work like shazza said. Off the subject, where are you hiding all these rads internally? Or you have them in a rad box?
