Is the water constantly pumping through the tubes/radiator/waterblock OR does it sit in the waterblock for a little while and THEN get pumped to the radiator? If it's constantly moving how does it have time to cool the CPU?

Thanks.

Water is constantly moving in the tubes it does not stop. and the radiator is the one cooling the water. If you feel it's the wrong way you can just put the radiator before the block. It won't make a difference really. I did it to calm my brain's logic that's telling to do it that way :)

Loop order does not matter in a loop. Also, to confirm, the water is constantly moving as the pump is (or should be) always running...if not, you have real problems.
