I was wondering how important pump location is in the system, originaly I was gona run res > pump > rad > CPU1 > CPU 2 > video > res, thinking that with the pump before the rad any heat the pump may put into the water (gona be using a hydor 30) will get taken out in the rad before it goes to the CPU, however i've been playing around with placement of everything in the case and found a much better placement for both the amount of space the whole water cooling system will take up and also reduce the amount of bends in the tube making it have a slightly better flow however it would result in the flow going res > rad > pump > CPU1 > CPU 2 > video > res, would the added heat from the pump make a different or would the slightly higher flow from less bends in the tubes more or less make up for that?
