Ok, so I'm researching for my watercooling setup, and I pick up this month's Maximum PC. Inside, there's a guide to setting up watercooling. In their guide, they run the loop as follows:
Pump to radiator to CPU to GPU to reservoir to pump. Really? Water into the Rad first and then the components? I was under the impression that the correct flow would be reservoir to pump to component(s) to radiator back to reservoir. Am I wrong?
They also describe blowing hot air from inside the case out through the radiator (if I read that correctly). I thought blowing cool air from outside the case over the radiator would be better.
In any case, I plan to run two loops: One for the CPU and chipset, and one for the GPU by itself. Should I reconsider the flow setup?
