I'm looking to drop some money on a new liquid cooling custom rig in the not too distant future, and I was thinking about running a CPU single loop. Would this be the optimal flow order for the build?
Res -> Pump -> CPU Block -> Rad -> Res?
If I were to add my SLI setup to the flow would it look like this?
Res -> Pump -> CPU Block -> Rad#1 -> GPU -> Rad #2-> Res?
Thanks
Edit: I would also like this in the cooling forum, but I didn't see that as an option when I created the thread =\

Best solution

Yes, that is the best way you could set up your cooling system, although you probably don't need a second radiator if you're putting GPUs into your look (I have a CPU + 2GPU loop and only 1 240 mm rad). Where is your single rad located, within your loop, with that setup?
I go Pump>Radiator>CPU>GPU(s)>Res>Pump The rad is mounted at the top of my case. You really don't need more than one radiator to keep your PC cool, it's just wasting money for 1 -2 degrees of extra performance.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. The plan is to run a Ivy bridge i7 K with two 780's or 780ti's. I haven't decided whether or not I want to spend the extra money to watercool the Ti's yet. It would save me a decent chunk of money, and I can go back later and WC them if I'm unhappy with the air temps / performance.

This is the board I'm looking at, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168.... I think the flow should be fine using the first two x16 slots.
