Basic way to do water loop

[jive]

Hi,
Today I saw a video on youtube and I'm not sure that's the best way to do a water loop.
the hardware
pump:mcp655
Rad: mcr320
cpu block : apogee XT
Res: micros res v2
fan 3X120mm noctua fsp120
tubing: primochill lrt1/2 iD 3/4 od
and fitting.

I will only have my cpu on the loop .

As I said in the video the goes that way : Pump -­>cpu block->Rad->Res->pump inlet.

There is a difference in term of performance if I go that way Pump->rad->cpu block->res->pump inlet

I ask this because I always think it's better to send the coolest water to the cpu block.
If I'm wrong let me know and tell we why please.

Thanks

Loop order doesn't matter as long as the reservoir (if used) is before and higher than pump inlet. The rest is simply preference.

XSPC Rasa kit is a CPU only setup for beginners that will run cheaper than this loop. (don't get me wrong, these are good components, and if you are considering expanding in the future, this is a great way to go.) However, I get the feeling you haven't read much into what you'll need, what to expect, etc?

Thanks for the inside about the res position , I almost forget that ;-) .

For the part I choose, yes it will expand in the future, I will add my gpu to the loop, as soon as i change my video card.
For the reading, I read a lot believe me .
I expect my cpu to be around 4.1ghz and the temp at idle around 33-34c. and at full load between 58-60c. will be nice

Thanks
