 From a performance standpoint there is very little performance to be gained from strictly controlling the component
sequence: the maximum delta T (difference in temperature) between any two points of the liquid cooling circuit does not
exceed 1ºC. Whenever possible, performance oriented users will typically want to route the radiator discharge(s) tube(s) to
the inlet of the CPU cooler, since the fluid exiting the radiators is always the coolest.
Devices:  (1) CPU cooler + (1) Radiator + Pump-reservoir assembly
Connect:  Pump discharge to radiator inlet
 Radiator discharge to CPU cooler inlet
 CPU cooler discharge to reservoir inlet

II. Installation of the cooling components
Warning! Placement of the cooling components may vary depending on your chassis and motherboard configurations. A mock-up
installation is thus necessary to estimate the length of the different sections of tubing that will be required between each component.
The following is the recommended sequence of components installation.
1. Radiator and fan
2. Water-block(s)
3. Pump
4. Reservoir
