So, I'm planning on getting back into gaming
With this in mind and a serious upgrade needed in the GPU department I have a question.
If I was to water cool both the CPU and GPU's does loop order really matter?
From what I have read it doesn't, I have seen loops go res>pump>cpu>gpu>rad, and even GPU>CPU.
With this in mind I am wondering how to go about it on my rig if the time (and funds) come available.
I have a HAF932 with a 120.3 rad mounted up top that currenlty cools only the CPU.
If I was to water cool a couple of GPU's within the same loop I would choose a loop order of res>pump>cpu>rad1>gpu(s)>rad2>res
Surely this is better than say: res>pump>cpu>gpu>rad1>rad2>res???
I just like the thought of the coolant getting cooled before going into the next component if you get what I mean??..
