So a friend of mine is putting together a crazy custom water loop, though it's his first, and I'm trying to help him out with what little I know. What do I know? Not nearly enough... time to ask the experts!
He wants to do what sounds backwards to me... which is setup the loop with the rads before the heat-generation points instead of after. IE,
Res #1 --> Pump #1 (MCP-655) --> Rad #1 (Black Ice 360v2) -- > 990X (EK HF) --> Mobo block -- > RAM block -- > Res #2 -- > Pump #2 (MCP-655) --> Rad #2 (Black Ice 360v2) -- > 580 HC --> 580 HC --> 580 HC -- > Res #1
Is that any different than setting it up like 99% of the guides I've seen which has the rads AFTER the heat generation points, just before it dumps back into the res? IE
Res --> Pump --> CPU --> Rad --> GPU --> Rad
Comments?
