    Question Need some help with loop setup ( Been MIA for a while )

    Its been a while since i took some time off the watercooling game but i am coming back in it lol, i totally went blank and forgot but does the pump have to be at the lowest or highest point of the loop?
    Basically my new setup i am going to be running will have the CPU and 2 GPUs watercooled, and i will run 2 360rads all in 1 single loop, so im trying to figure which pump to use for this and what the mounting rule was for the pump .. Thanks


    Would this be a recommended pump to use for a single loop containing my items? 1- EK CPU block // 2 - EK GPU Blocks // 2 - 360 Rads ( Thermochill PA ) // IanH Tube Res

    Pump: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmc12vdcpu.html

    put it wherever. unless your pump is retarded, it shouldn't matter.

    might recommend not putting it at the absolute top of the loop though.
    i7 2600k, 8GB 1866Mhz DDR3, GTX560 Ti, Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4, CM Cosmos 1000 Case, and some green crap everywhere.

    Res above somewhat and before pump inlet. The higher the res the easier to bleed the whole loop. Don't matter a lot tho. Lots of folks have the res low with pump and rads at the top of the case with barbs pointing down, hard to bleed but it works. Look at Corsair 800D cases with rads.
    All stock for now, no need for more, but it's gonna be soon methinks.
