The pump pushes from the res. to the inlet on the big external radiator on the back of the case. then that goes out of the rad into the CPU block. Cpu block heats the water a little then dumps it into the first mosfet block. that block jumps to the second mosfet block, then into the North&South bridge chipset block.

If I didnt, the water would just keep increasing after it exited each block in order and by the time it hit the GPU (final block) it would be much higher in temp. If I just went with a bigger single radiator on the back, I would have to run CPU\>GPU\>NB/SB\>MOSFET1\>MOSFET2… and there would be alot of criscrossing water lines and it wouldnt be as clean lookin. This is nearly the worst possible heat transfer configuration for this system. First you should be running all of the cooled components in parallel and not in series. Go buy yourself a bunch of tee’s for the coolant tubes and plumb it like this Reservoir to pump. Pump line then has multiple tees off the main line, with a single hose going to each coolant block. This way all components get the coldest water possible. All the outlets from the coolant blacks tee back together to the drain hose. This line goes outside the case. The drain line then tees into the big radiator AND the small radiator that you have moved OUTSIDE the case. This way both radiators have the hottest water flowing into them, the lowest water velocity and therefore the most cooling time. The two radiator drains then tee back together, and flow back into the reservoir. This is the BEST POSSIBLE heat transfer setup. :thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/computer-nerd-content-inside-watercooled-my-gaming-pc/249833)._
