Whats the best way to arrange 2 pumps in a full WC setup?

[Slammin]

I like this setup too, but, wont the vga get hotter staying at the end of the loop?? And if i change the path from second pump (the upper one in layout) to 120x1 rad, changing the water intake from bottom to top wont help the pump to push less water upwards? Cos if water goes from bottom to top through the rad there will be more water volume than if it goes up from tube and then goes down through rad to cpu... am i right?
And thanks for help

As you don't seem too new, you already know how the temperature evens itself out in a loop. Nature, etc. You may/should have learned that trying to arrange your loop for the lowest superficial temps at any given point in your loop, for that snap shot picture, may not be what you are seeking as a goal.

Whoah!

That was deep.

It must be Friday.

See yall next week!

Sorry, i didn't understood it, could you try to be more specific? Thanks.

Order of components in a loop makes no difference.

It's a closed loop. The pump works equally hard no matter what you do. As much water as it pushes out of it's outlet automatically comes back into it's inlet.

You're missing the fundamentals of watercooling. http://www.overclockers.com/articles1088/

ok... how's bout this?



this way, the 120.3 handles the CPU, MOSFETS, then the 120.1 handles the VGA and NB/SB?

[Marci]

Nooo.... there is no "blah handles blah cos it goes to it after blah". Again... the order of components in a loop DOES NOT affect performance. It takes 261 watts of heatload to raise watertemps by 1 degree. Order in the loop is irrelevant.

dear lord thats a mess, please clean it up and make two inline loops, it will look a lot better

Many thanks Marci, u gave me the most important informations, loved the link to the Myths about WC, will do a simple big loop, and finish the setup, when done will post pics of it. Cheers.

Thanks for everyone who help here

Made the tube setup here and forgot to take pics, when mounted and running i'll do it, but using the previously layout it was finished that way:



Looking at it in a 2D layout may have a weird look, but this was the best aesthetic and functional way in real.
