    Pump Order ok?

    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:

    And about bumping:

    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........
    All stock for now, no need for more, but it's gonna be soon methinks.
