How do most people go about mounting up their watercooling gear? Do you mount the blocks on to the CPU/GPU/whatever first, then carefully measure and cut the tubing? Or do you create the whole loop after measuring and then mount the blocks once they have tubing attached?
With the frst option it seems to me like the block mounting could be disturbed a bit by having to force on the tubing, possibly messing up the TIM. With the latter there could be less than ideal tubing lengths, either long or short, or kinks. So both have their drawbacks, so I was wondering how most people install their loops?
