I wouldn't put the pump in the res. It will add heat to the water. My pump get a little warm and I have it running in-line. Think about it, if the pump is in the res not only will there will be heat from the cpu but also the pump. I guess you can do it if you have a big rad and or big res. Adding a res only make the water longer to stablize. Eventually it will reach the cooling capacity limit of you setup. If you have a good setup it will reach ambient and that the most it will go. Unless you have a chiller or something.
