can someone tell me the best way to set up my watercooling kit ,

i mean with the water flow ,

start at pump -> ? -> ? -> ?.

WB/ RES / RAD

.i hope you know what i mean

[watsonte]

outlet of the pump to inlet of Waterblock, oulet of waterblock to inlet of the Radiator, outlet of the radiator to inlet of the res and oulet of the res into the inlet of the pump...

 

Follow that?

thanks mate .

im going to start the re-build now . i will let you no how i get on .

why not put the reservoir before the radiator?Why heat it before it get's in the waterblock?I think it is better to put it directly in the waterblock after it passes the radiator. pump>waterblock>reservoir>radiator>pump.

Your reservoir/t-line should always be the last thing before your pump. You never want to run a pump dry, and if the water has to go through the rad first, it would run dry.

Ok thnx for clearing that.I thought that the water will be cooler then.Now I realize that the water won't be cooled by the radiator below system temperature.

Res/T-line right before pump

 

I personally prefer pump --> WB --> RAD --> RES; but some advocate pump --> RAD --> WB --> RES. Either of these orientations will be good.

now im un decided again .

i watched the DD video and they put the pump - wb - rad - res/t-line

i think i will go with that

Thats a good Idea...that what I based my original statement on...I figure if its good enough for them its good enough for me.

Yep my preferred orientation as well.

If you're worried about the res allowing the water to heat up, just get a t-line. Or, you could get a res with only one tube, which would essentially act as a t-line.

The res wouldn't "allow" the H2O to heat up at all; no heat source in there. Anyways, at best the RAD will cool the H2O down to the ambient room temps.
