my configuration, which is similar to both cpu and gpu loops:

as for the need for drainports, i'd consider it a good addition to the loop.
it makes it easier to empty the top portion of my loop and do any modifications/adjustments. i placed the drainports there because i didn't want to drain the rads and i didn't want to blow into the loop to drain... gravity took care of draining the top loop.

Thanks mate so its best place the draniports on the bottom so the gravity just takes it.. Does the drainport have to be connected to a certain spot or anywhere? Also when you drain you have the pump on or off? Kinda new with drainports so need as much info hehe
