I would assume my watercooling experience would be enough, but if i have to explain.
You are running the pump dry the minute you start the system.

The temperature difference between the CPU & GPU is so minimal the loop order is invalid, the water flow of the d5 is so quick, it makes no difference.

And if you want better performance just add another pump for the lulz.

The basic d5 pump has a flow rate of 17L/min.
The average loop is 2-3feet long, even with the largest 560 radiators the most you'll have in your system is 2-3 liters of fluid.

The difference between GPU & CPU will be so minute its better to have the shortest loop rather than the most "cooling efficient"

Well Priming the system should eliminate the air...correct?

Twin d5's are funny to watch, its tricky filling a 150ml reservoir up with two d5's sucking.

My first rig had barbs, i had twin d5's pop the tube off the barb, 100psi pressure with 10f head will do that i guess

The loop is still longer than it needs to be.
shortest loop is always the most efficient.

Res>pump>rad>gpu>cpu>rad>res

or

res>pump>rad>gpu>rad>cpu>res

won't make a difference tbh.

The only thing I don't like is GPU before CPU ??

Coz GPU can take a LOT more heat than CPU ??

why?

the water is in the block for maximum 2 seconds, with a d5 and ek top, your looking at a second max, makes no difference.
