Pumps can take heat, and the heat you are talking about is only a few deg warmer then the other side of the raidator.

" I recommend putting the radiator immediately after the cpu due to the facts that the heat from the pump won't affect core temps much"

Wrong.
I tested this with a lil pump like I have in the mini, a big 350GPH Danner, and the 500GPH Hydrothruster, and its all the same, the temp was a min 2 deg warmer average for the small and 350GPH, and ti was 4 Deg warmer with the hydrothruster. Pumps can generate 40+ watts of heat and since they use the coolant in most cases to cool them also, all thats dumped to the water.

Pumps can run perfectly safe at 100+Deg temp coolant.
