Regarding loop order - this test report by Vapor is worthwhile reading -

Interesting test by vapor. Looks like my sabbatical from the liquid cooling section is catching up with me as I wasn't aware of his test.

Has anyone else tested this theory in the way he did? Perhaps with more blocks? Or by using fewer than 3 pumps?

Thanks for the link.

Ding - you have my blessings if it makes no difference in temps. I'd like to see a little more testing before I'll believe it, but I may be wrong on this one based on Vapor's research. What I would've liked to have seen, though, are some varying configurations. He was only running a CPU block, and you're running GPU, chipset, mosfet, CPU and a RAM block. That's a lot more restriction and heat build-up. Vapor's 3 pumps and single-block configuration helped keep his flowrate up whereas yours will be much lower with one pump and several more blocks. And higher flowrate = lower temps. So I'm not sure that the two setups are analagous.

Either way, if I'm wrong or right, I'm glad that you had this idea because I may learn something in the process. For now, I'll stick to my old habits just to be on the safe side.
