Should you run the waterlines with the water running from the radiator to the cpu or to the pump first.

My understanding is this: Resivoir -> Pump -> Waterblock -> Radiator -> Resivoir -> Pump and so on...

I run mine Reservoire -> Radiator -> Waterblock -> Reservoire. Although some people have done it different and it made no difference in temps. My thinking was to have the coldest water hit the CPU, the coldest water obviously coming from the radiator.

With my setup there was no change in temps, but thats just my setup. There might be different if I had a bigger radiator.
