Layout and Tubing Routing
WaterBlock Inlet
Pump Outlet
It's critical that the water flows into the waterblocks
inlet. If the flow direction goes into the outlet then
performance will be severely compromised.
This is one of the most common installation mistakes
and you should take care to make sure the flow
direction goes into the inlet.

Planning the layout of the watercooling loop is the most important part of the installation. It's worth spending some time
here to work out the easiest route to connect the block, pump and radiator.
Before you start cutting the tubing to size you should place the components into the best position in your case and
when you're happy with the layout, measure and cut the tubing. The following pages show some example layouts and
an installation walkthrough of the most common layout.
There are many discussions online about the order of the components and wether the flow should goto the radiator or
water block first. Either way will work and while there is a small performance advantage pumping to the radiator first, it's
not a significant difference. We would suggest connecting the components in the easiest, shortest route. It's more
important to avoid sharp bends in the tubing which could cause kinks and reduce the water flow.
The radiator has no designated inlet and outlet, so you can use either port. The CPU block and pump have assigned
inlet and outlet ports which must be followed.
Option 1. Pump > Radiator > Block > Pump Option 2. Pump > Block > Radiator > Pump
The inlet and outlet are not marked on the pump, so follow the photos below.
