Default Suggestions on order?

Hey all, I'm in the process of assembling a water-cooling setup with parts from OCWC. I have a SocketA Silver Polyblock, one of the 4" Radiators and the 4x4x2 Rese-pump (internal mount, I have size restraints).
What I am wondering about is the order that I should route everything;
Rese-pump -> Waterblock -> Radiator -> Back to Rese-pump
or
Rese-pump -> Radiator -> Waterblock -> Back to Rese-pump.

The radiator (w/ 120mm YSTech) will be mounted near the bottom of the case, with the fan sucking air through the radiator and expelling out the case. The Rese-pump will be mounted almost directly behind that.

I also have a Black-light and am going to run Water-Wetter and Blue Dye-Lite through it. Pics will be up soon (hopefully w/in the week!)


Thanks for any comments/suggestions

You should put it like this:

pump-radiator-CPU-pump

Internal pumps add a little bit of heat to the H2O. By putting the water through the radiator though, it will get rid of that little heat.

Thanks, I should have it up tomorrow when the spray paint dries and when I get the Water-wetter.

Thanks for the advice Kevin,
now for another one, I have to mount the radiator sideways. Which should be the in and out? I thought I read some where saying that the outlet should be the highest to let all the air bubbles be forced out. Is this right?
