Hello Everyone!
I just purchased some new watercooling equipment(cathar's white water block #62, JP-Performance's Scoop/XLR Radiator, and Via 1300 pump). Could someone advise me as to how to properly connect up these components?
The documentation I have says to order them in the following order:
Pump outlet-->CPU--->Radiator--->"T"--->Pump Return/Inlet

However, after viewing countless pictures of various watercooling setups, this doesnt seem to be how everyone is setting theirs up. Most seem to have:
Pump outlet--->radiator--->CPU--->"T"--->Pump Return/Inlet

Can someone offer advise as to how I should do this? Thanks!
 
I am hoping it doesnt make a difference, just because of the tubing routes. Thanks method! Anyone else care to comment?
 
I have always had the best results with the plumbing order specified in your instructions.
