Neither. Basic rules of water cooling.
Res then pump always.
The head pressure of the d5 will eliminate any difference in temperature from the gpu to cpu.
I was about to say that. lol I guess I missed this thread by a few days huh?

You got a valid review that sez that?
It's common WC knowledge.

No its pulling the water from the pics u have so if u where to put the pump b4 the res its pushing the liquid through the res and then cpu large rad gpu small rad then pump
Im not sure if im right just talking from my REALLY basic knowlege i might be completely wrong
Yes in essence the pump sucks the water out of the res and pushes it through the look. BUT! Once the water hits the res like in my Bay Res, the flow slows down unless you use a tube res which gives better flow rates.

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.
That would be funny actually. AND EXPENSIVE! YIKES! But the D5 like my VPP655 push 1500 lph so it's really over kill.

Well Priming the system should eliminate the air...correct?
You can't "prime" a WC loop. If you let the pump run dry you could essentially destroy it. Like my VPP655 has no moving parts. All ball bearing and magnetic if I remember correctly. Running dry would cause the pump to fry itself from excessive force.

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.
Wow! Did water go all over or anything get destroyed? Yeah shortest loop is better and looks better IMO. Unless of course you are trying to impress someone who has never seen a WC'd PC then the more tubes, lights, and colors you have going on the "better" it must be. lol
