can i put cpu block second

Just got my DD7900 block to go with a DD rbx.
Do to duel outlets on rbx there are to many hoses.
I plan on putting gpu block first and the cpu second.
My DD maze4 always ran room temp on a 850pe.
By running cpu 2nd from radiator will temps be normal.
Have 2 120 110cm fans on the rad only use the rear.
pump rad gpu cpu return yes or no

too many hoses next to side cover fan.
I had systems the correct way for 2 years.
What will it cost me temp wise.
I can live with a 10 degree incease
 
Funny how people assume everything is a 10c difference......

i will spend the time and do it the corret way.just trying to cool a hot 1.5volt 7900gt

Correct way is less tubbing.

Heat increase from more tubbing>heat increase from having GPU before CPU

If you can do both more power to you.

I have to agree. The correct way is the shortest route without tight bends. I'd estimate putting the GPU first will raise your CPU temp only .2 - .3 C.
 
done correct

Took off 18 inches of extra tubing at RBX y connector.
DD maze4 block was used only used on a few ati pe and temp at gpu were always lower then cpu.
Present temps cpu30c gpu 36 new AS5
Cpu opty@3040 normal gpu seems high
1.5 molded 7900gt@700 900 ran hot 80+with fan.
Maze has new style top old bottom
Was told old maze 2stud wont fit.
wasted 22.00 on shipping to find out 2stud fits evgas
New top holds more water = less pressure at head.
thanks for info
