![]() There are two ways to plumb your loop: in series or in parallel. There are sub-categories here like series-parallel but those typically only apply to the largest and most complex water loops. The next question is often about parallel loops. People see them and the question is usually “How can I make one like that?” or “How in the world does it work?” The first question I typically see about tube routing is loop order. That one’s easy as it’s been proven repeatedly that as long as the pump is being fed coolant directly from the reservoir, loop order doesn’t matter. You can run your coolant through all your water blocks and then your radiators, or put a radiator between each block and your temps will not be measurably different. Seems counterintuitive at first but it’s true. I’ve heard people say that tube routing isn’t that important, but the way your tubing is plumbed affects not only how much tubing you’ll need, but how many fittings, how much coolant, how hard your pump will have to work, and how the end product looks. ![]() So you’re building a new custom water cooling system. You’ve chosen all your components carefully with the help of our guides. They’re all going to fit within your space and work nicely together. You’ve got a place to mount everything and you’re just about ready to start the hands-on part. All that’s left is planning your tube routing.
