Pump placement disagreement
Hi, I'll shortly be putting together my W/C setup, and I've got a Swiftech MCP600, 2 heatercores, a MCW-6002 and a Maze 4 GPU.
I was going to Link it up so the system was MCP600 -> Both rads -> MCW-6002 -> Maze 4 -> Back to pump.
But he told me that that'd mean the water would be going slower to through the block as it's not connected to the pump, and that the radiators wouldn't perform as well as if it was RAD-> MCW-6002 -> RAD -> MAZE 4, as the water would be warmer when it reached the Maze 4 in my setup.
To me the remark about the slower flow makes no sense, as water must go the same speed through the whole setup as water can't be compressed, just like electrical current is exactly the same everywhere in a series circuit.
I also thought that his remark about seperating the rads wouldn't make much effect as the water barely changes in temperature at all in just one pass?
So basically, is he right? And even if he is/isn't, would you advise I put things in a certain order anyway?
Many thanks,
Cougem
