I connected both the inlet and outlet fittings on one side of the GPU waterblock on my loop. Is this a correct approach or are there any recommendations on flow direction and fittings placement. Does this makes any difference in GPU temperatures?
Here's the flow direction:
Reservoir pump --> GPU --> CPU waterblock --> Radiator

This is what MSI manual says:

Regarding flow direction, as long as pump is right after reservoir, you're fine. Which components are cooled first have little impact on temps after loop coolant temps levels off. The radiator capacity and fans have the greatest affect on temps.
