How do you tie the Resorvoir into your system?

How do you tie the Resorvoir into your system? Do I run a line from the reserver down to the bump and have a T so water can come from the resorvoir and the return water from the waterblocks before going into the heater core.

On most res setups it kinda goes like this:

NOTE: res has to be AT LEAST even altitude with the pump or HIGHER for good flow or cavitation will occur at pump inlet.

RES-->PUMP-->HeaterCore-->CPU-->RES

You don't need a T, just two barbs on the reservoir - then the flow goes straight through your res.

i have mine setup res--->pump--->cpu--->gpu--->rad--->res
should I change that setup?

If anything you might want to put the radiator before the CPU and GPU blocks, so that you get less pump heat going to the blocks.

I have mine going Res>Rad>Pump>CPU>Res

I used to run my rig with a res.
When I did I used: RES => PUMP => RAD => CPU => RES
now I'm running a T-line like this: Pump => Rad => T-Line => CPU => Pump

Suma.

aight thanks. Im going to do that once i get my new bigger case.

What I want to do is have PUMP>RAD.>CPU>NB>GPU>PUMP

I was thinking of putting a T in right before the pump that goes up to the RES. The RES will be in the top two 5.25" Bays. Are there any permade RES that fit in the 5.25" Bays and screw in place?
